I hope you all are staying safe and healthy! I used some of my free time to take the Myers-Briggs personality test on 16personalities.com as Iris. She got ESFP-T, which is called the Entertainer. 

I'm currently an ENTJ-T. What are you? And if you are also a writer and have time while staying home, I encourage you to take the test as one of your characters. It was fun, and I feel like I understand her character a lot better.

The alarm clock says 3:40 AM when I roll over in bed after falling out of a dream I already can't remember.

Beside me Jonas's light snoring is nothing more than a reminder of where I am. A pillow between us separates us. I reach out and feel his hand still tucked underneath.

There's a dryness in my mouth, and my throat hurts. I peel back the blankets and slip out bed. I head for the door, taking care to avoid stepping on either Erik, Sebastian, Tobias, Colton, or Vienna. Andrew's apartment only has two bedrooms. He has one to himself. The rest of us were left to decide our sleeping arrangements.

Colton, Sebastian, and Tobias insisted Jonas take the bed as he's Preeminence despite Jonas offering to take the couch. He's their leader, they said, and he deserves the bed and to be in a room where they can isolate him from Andrew. They pushed for Erik to take the couch, not wanting him near a sleeping Jonas. Erik said he wasn't going to miss the slumber party.

The Order weren't worried about Jonas being killed, only injured.

For my part, I was fully prepared to sleep on the floor and for Colton, the Beta, to sleep on the bed with Jonas.

My fiancé on the other hand said I should sleep on the bed as I'm about to be a queen in the eyes of the world.

Of course, Colton, Sebastian, and Tobias protested that we should not be sleeping in the same bed.

Vienna was indifferent.

Erik surprisingly wasn't against it, saying, "If they're going to have sex before marriage, we certainly aren't going to be able to stop them. And it's not like they're going to do it here with all of us in the room." But he added that if we did, he hoped to be given warning.

Jonas was ready to make him sleep in the doghouse if there were one.

The Beta, Theta, and Undici finally relented once Vienna threw Colton's pillow on the bed and told us to put it between us.

Once the lights were off, Jonas promptly snuck his hand underneath it.

I catch myself before face planting on Tobias. Steadying myself, I take a deep breath and step out into the hall.

The second floor is only the two bedrooms. For the kitchen and bathroom, I have to go downstairs.

Andrew's door across from us is shut, no light seeping out from underneath.

I make my way down the stairs, holding tight to the banister with one hand. The other, I rub up and down my arm, trying to bring forth heat. The silky pajama shorts and tank Gwen sent over on the plane don't do much against Andrew's desire to keep the thermostat at sixty-seven degrees Fahrenheit. Colton, Tobias, and Sebastian were very against my nightwear, but when they shucked off their pants and shirt, opting to sleep in their boxers, there was no way I was not wearing the pajamas. Order or not, it was a matter of equality.

I flick on the light and cross the kitchen, the tile cool on my bare feet. After grabbing a glass from the cabinet, I start to shut the cabinet door.

Click.

I freeze, both hands in the air, one hand holding the door and the other the glass.

"Scream and I'll shoot."

That chapter was super short so double update! The next chapter is up!
