!!!!!!Trigger warning!!!!!!! I should've warned you all from the beginning that this contains sensitive topics and I apologize that I didn't. Please skip this chapter if it makes you uneasy for the sake of your mental health

Buck's POV:

Sam and I make it to the house a little while after dark. Once we're inside, I head straight to the bathroom, shut the door, and lock it. I slide downward against the door then glance over at the little pocket knife that I use frequently. I take it then roll up my sleeve

I put the knife on the sink counter

I'm at peace for now  I smile, letting tears flow my face

I wipe them to hide any suspicion from Sam. I unlock the door and am about to open it when I notice I forgot to put my sleeve in it's original position. I quickly do that

I breathe a sigh of relief

Can't let Sam see this

I stretch the door and go out

"Hey Sam" I announce, trying to sound optimistic

"Hi" He replies, concentrated on his laptop

"Who you emailing?"

"Sharon. See if she can help us figure out who the power broker is"

"Cool" I respond

I peak at the clock to see it's almost midnight

"You might wanna call it a night" I point out

"Yeah, you're right" Sam says, shutting his device

We both go upstairs to our rooms. I always sleep on the floor since beds are too soft for me. I lie down with two blankets, one for the floor and for myself, then pillow

I shut my eyes, hoping I don't have a nightmare
