After Silas left I decided to take a shower and soon changed into one of Rhys' hoodies and some shorts. To keep my mind off everything that had happened recently I cleaned up a little bit because the dorm was an absolute mess.
My brothers came at around seven to pick me up, like he said they would. I didn't know how he had known but I was too exhausted to have questioned it.
I was currently in bed after watching a movie with the triplets. Being with them made me feel...fine, like a temporary hole had been filled. But when I was alone, staring at the ceiling of my room I was only angry and sad.
Everything I loved had always had a tendency to be taken away from me.
A knock on the door sounded and I checked the time 12am. I stilled before saying a hesitant, "Come in. "
The door opened and I saw my father walk in with a sad smile. I wiped my eyes and frowned at him.
"Do you need anything? Why are you here?" I asked and he sat down on the edge of the bed.
"I wanted to make sure you were...ok. I know I've never been a father to you or the boys but I want a chance to change that."
"Exactly, you never have been so why should any of us give you a chance when you could easily let us down a second time. " I rolled my eyes and turned over, shutting my eyes. I had something important to do tomorrow and nothing was going to stop me.
I heard him sigh and then the door close softly as he left. I was glad he didn't push me to give him another chance but also mad that he didn't. Maybe my emotions were just fucked up at that point.
I let out a small breath and pushed those thoughts out of my head. I didn't have time for distractions, I needed to find out who tried to kill Rhys.
Eventually sleep came to me but left all too soon.

As soon as my eyes fluttered open I sat up and checked the time.
5:45.
Shit.
I had fifteen minutes to get my shit together and prepare myself for the assholes arrival. I changed into some grey pants and a blue hoodie before brushing my teeth and making my hair look presentable.
After that I put my shoes on and sprayed some perfume just in time for the door bell to go off. I ran down the stairs earning confused looks from my half asleep brothers and Sofia but ignored them and opened the door.
What a surprise, he looks angry.
"Let me guess, you woke up around fifteen to twenty minutes ago and rushed everything forgetting to eat something. " He told me with one look and my eyes widened in surprise.
