End of the day:

Rebecca's POV:

I walk through the empty hallway and I sigh deeply. My thoughts run wild and I bite my lip. I think of Chris. She's made my life happier...
But then I remember she's in my car. I laugh. I walk quicker and make my way out of campus and unlock my car.

I sit in the car and I look over at Chris. I stroke her hair, I smile. Her eyes slowly open and she sees me, she smiles. "Did you have a nice sleep?" I ask. She just smiles. "Yeah" I sigh and sit properly in my seat. "Come on. Sit up, we're going home" I say. She sits up and puts on her seatbelt.

We drive and reach the apartment block of which we stay at. I think staying at Ashton's and Calum's apartment is better because I don't feel alone anymore.
We walk through the building and I unlock the door. Ashton and Calum decided to go grocery shopping before they go to therapy. It's nice they're trying to get the help they need. They're trying to sort out their lives.

Chris walks to the sofa dropping her bag, she falls and groans. "Bec?" She asks. My head whips round to her. "Sleep in my bed. Not in the sofa" I don't know what to say... "I- But- No- Chris... I-" I stutter. She just stands up and walks over to me. She rubs her hand over my arm and looks me in the eye. "It'll be okay. You stay on your side I'll stay on mine, yeah?" Eventually I give in. I roll my eyes and sigh. "Fine" she giggles. She's so cute.

We go to her room and she jumps onto her bed. I smile at her. Her room looks so nice. It's dark, the walls are mainly black and grey, but it's really nice. She grabs her tv remote and turns on her tv, the room lights up in a luminous blue colour. She switched on Netflix. "Once upon a time?" She asks smirking. A heavy smirk plants in my face and I jump onto her bed next to her. I kick off my shoes and she throws me a blanket. "It's really soft, I sleep with that one" she states. I bring it up to my face slightly and I inhale. It smells like her...

Chris' POV:

I watch as she inhales my scent, I giggle slightly. I sit back and switch on Once upon a Time because we started watching it together. I sit and stare at the tv, unknown to the eyes staring right at me. I turn my head to look at her. "What?" I chuckle. She shakes her head gently.

After a few episodes, my eye lids become heavy. Me and Rebecca had gotten closer while watching. Her arm had wrapped underneath me and my head rested on her shoulder. Her hand gently strokes my back, her gentle action makes me relax.

Rebecca's POV:
I watch as the hair tucked behind her ear slowly falls onto her face. Her jaw relaxes and her breathing calms. She's relaxed. I sigh quietly but deeply. I lean down and kiss her forehead. "You're so sweet" I state, stroking her shoulder. Her muscles relax, she's asleep.

Chris normally has trouble sleeping as things from her father haunt her. I feel sorry for her. But I can't do anything for her, it makes me sad that I'm unable to help. I want to help.

I continue to watch the tv when I notice Chris change positions. She moves and her head falls onto my lap. I smile slightly. I grab a blanket and cover her up. It's silent. The only noise is coming from the tv; Emma Swan is helping Henry with the curse, she's beautiful, but I'm reminded that there is someone beautiful that is laying peacefully in my lap.

Instinctively, I stroke her hair. My fingertips slightly scratching her scalp. My thumb grazing down her cheek, her slight smile as she sleep. It's a peaceful atmosphere.

You can drop a pin and you'd hear the ping hitting the floor. My heart pounds as I hear the front door open. I quickly look over at the clock hanging on the wall, 8:30pm, Ashton and Calum would be home. "Chris? Rebecca?" Calum says. I hear his footsteps against the wooden floor, they echo. They get closer and the door freaks open, he looks at me then down at his sleeping sister. A smile tugs at his lips.

"How long has she been asleep?" He asks. His eyes brows arch. I see the crease between his brows. "About half an hour" I look down at her grazing her hair and threading my fingers before stroking her arm. "She likes you...loves you" Calum announces, he watches my actions. I giggle at his remark. "I know. I love her..." I begin. But I sigh, unable to finish. "Ashtons exhausted...I'm going to head to bed...Goodnight" he says.

He seems sad. Did something go wrong? It may be the therapy, talking about his past, his trauma. Him, Ashton and Chris have had shitty childhoods. I want to know about them. I want to get to know how they lived? I want to be able to tell them about me...

But I'm scared... like them...

I'm all hope I will find their trust. But for now I need to focus on Chris. This young girl is who I love. But I shouldn't because she's a student and I'm a teacher. That shouldn't stop me from being who I want to be, loving who I want...
I love Crystal Shear...

Her cheeks flush red as she sleeps, as I was in my thoughts I hadn't realised that my breath had hitched. It was heavy. I took deep breaths to calm myself and I looked back at Chris. She has a cute little smile on her face, how precious...
