TRIGGER WARNING: this chapter contains mention of self harm.

"There she is!" Mom sings joyfully.
Cameron walks through the door, dragging along a full duffel bag. A wave of relief washes over me as I jump up from the table, I've been waiting for longer then I can remember to hug my sister.

I join Mom who had beat me to engulfing Cameron into a hug. Cameron's hand holds the back of my head as we all smile and laugh.

Mom was the first to let go as I still had my arms tightly wrapped around Cameron as we rocked side to side.

"I'm so glad your home." I sigh with relief into her shoulder, where my head pressed into. I felt safe.

As I finally let go Ethan was approaching with Grayson behind him.

"Hey Cam." Ethan smiles.

She wraps an arm around both of them when they hug.

"I missed my boys! I hope you've been nice to our sister and Mom." She laughs

I shuffle around on my feet, not sure what to do now.

"Okay, I have to go to work- Ethan can you drop this stuff over at Your Aunts house? She says at least one of the boys should be home to let you in so give it to them." Mom says as she picks up a bag and puts it onto the counter.

Ethan nods his head and stretches with a yawn.

"What time did you go to bed?" Mom asks heading for the door,

Ethan only shrugs.

"I'll be home early to spend some time with my beautiful kids, what about Chinese for dinner?" She asks opening the door letting in the morning sun

"Chinese sounds so good, Ma." Cameron smiles with her eyes shut.

"Okay, good. I'll see you later- NO fighting Ethan and Bailey!"

Everyone chuckles except Me, Mom and Ethan.

As the door clicks shut I nearly feel at ease as it's the first time I won't be alone with the boys when Mom goes away.

"I'll go drop this shit off now." Ethan mumbles picking up the bag in his right hand.

"Do you want me to come?" Gray asks

"Nah bro I'll only be a minute."

Ethan grabs his keys and heads out the door.

He seemed different, he was being weird.

Grayson walks past me and pretends to throw a punch that he quickly pulls back, but I still flinch and close my eyes shut.

"Don't." I mumble, he scoffs

"B, come help me take my bags upstairs." Cameron picks up a duffel bag in one hand and her lacrosse bag in the other.

I pick up a back pack that was a lot heavier then it seemed.

"Jesus are you moving back in or something?" I groan

"You wish!" She grins.

Yeah, yeah I do.

Ethan's POV

My hair blows with the wind coming from my open window, one hand is on the wheel and my left arm leans on the middle compartment.

Incoming call from: Grayson

"What's up?" I ask, tiredly.

"Nothing, are you okay? You seem way off dude." He asks
