Each marking the body has, is its own journey. For example, a girl that quietly hums to herself while showers has her own scars. Both mentally and physically. Multiple tiny scars on the the inside of her thighs as well as having the matching scars on her waist. The earliest physical scar she has to date is the large scar on her left shoulder blade, from a knife cutting into her when she protected someone. The mental scars, they go much deeper.... but she's here to change that.
(River p.o.v)
"Rio, dinners ready!" Tim exclaimed from the other side of the door.
"Be out in a second!" I exclaimed before turning the water off and leaving the shower to get dry and dressed.
I gave my hair a quick dry but I knew it was going to keep dripping till it was completely dry. Once I did what needed to be done I headed to the kitchen and sat in my "assigned" seat.
"Thanks for cooking again Tyler." I told as I took my fork and began to eat the potatoes.
"It's not a problem sweetie."
"You know Penelope called." Joe told making all of us freeze.
"Did you answer it?" Vix asked
"Yeah."
"Joe!"
"What?"
"She can track you and find out I'm with you!"
"She knows we are with you already." He told
"How?" Tim asked
"Dic mentioned that when you are having sad time we helped a lot in Uni, so she figured we are probably helping you in some way."
"Has she told the others?" Zack asked
"No. She just wants to make sure your ok.... they miss you a lot."
"I miss them as well."
After that we sat in silence till it was time for me to go do what I had to.
'I hate this.'
I walked back into the place and saw that all the boys fell asleep watching tv while they waited for me. A small smile grew on my face and I walked over to the spot that was opened next to Zack. When I sat down on the couch Zack opened his eyes and blinked quickly as he looked towards me.
"Is it finished already?" He quietly asked so the others didn't wake up.
"Yeah. You know you guys don't have to stay up and wait for me every time right."
"We like making sure you know we are here for you."
I gave him a small smile before resting my head on his shoulder and looked towards the tv.
"Thanks Zack. I'm glad your in my life and my cousin didn't kill you."
"I'm glad your in my life as well River, and that your cousin didn't kill me." He told making us chuckle.
'I hope they are doing well.... I miss them so much. I wonder what Spencer is up to right now? 3 months of this yet it hasn't gotten easier to miss them.'
"Is your friend coming back?"
"No. She had to go do some model shoots in Paris as well as record some songs and she wanted to visit her cousin."
"Is it cute that I think you made friends with Ashlyn Monroe and didn't know cause she goes by Ashley Harper?"
"Anything to do with you or me makes the other think it's cute, except when we are in danger."
"Except when we are in danger." I told making us lightly chuckle.
"I mean, the others don't know it yet." He told making us look towards them to see Tim was holding Tyler, while Vix and Tim held onto each other's legs.
"Strange boys."
"But they are family."
"Through thick and thin. Because family doesn't end blood."
"And it doesn't start there either." He added
"Man my uncle my uncle is weird."
"He's a hunter. And also not your biological uncle."
"Yeah but the boys see him as family and so do I. He taught me how to break into cars."
"We are so weird."
"Which means we are the best kind of people."
"I conquer." He told making us give the other a smile.
'Oh to not broken.'
