You leave your room first, Lou follows shortly after you. You walk down the stairs in your t-shirt and sweatpants. You take a deep inhale as you walk to the kitchen. "Wow," you say smiling, "Something smells amazing." Tammy turns around from the stove smiling at you. "Thank you," she says giving you a hug as you grab a glass of water. You go sit down at the dining room table with the other girls. Lou sits across from you. "So," says Daphne looking at you curiously, "Tell us about yourself, y/n." You sit up and awkwardly chuckle. "What?", you ask. "Like what's new and excited," says Daphne moving her hands and smiling. "And your family," chimes in Rose. "Yes!", exclaims Constance as Tammy comes out of the kitchen, placing food the food on the table. Everyone starts making a plate. Once everyone is eating, Rose brings up the question again. "Oh yes," you say while finishing chewing. "I'm 19 years old, I just finished high school, I moved in with my boyfriend early and I'm saving up my money for college." Rose nods and smiles. "What about your family, dear?", she asks. You stop smiling and clear your throat. You could feel everyone's eyes on you. You take a deep breath and explain, "I grew up a foster child, I've never had a stable living arrangement, which means no family I can lean on for support." The room grows quiet. "We're your family now," says Tammy. You turn to look at her smiling face. "Hell yeah," chimes in Nineball as she smiles at you. "Thank you," you say gratefully, while smiling brightly. You turn your head to look at Lou who is also smiling at you. "Well," she says standing up, "Thanks for breakfast, TamTam." As she goes to the kitchen to bust her dish. Debbie follows her. "TamTam?", you ask trying not to laugh. She rolls her eyes, "It's a stupid nickname the girls gave to me." You laugh and smile at Tammy. You get up to bust your dish too. You walk into the kitchen and see Lou and Debbie arguing in the corner of the kitchen. They both look up at you and Debbie walks away. You place your dish in the sink and walk over to Lou. "What was that about?", you ask concerned. "It was nothing, don't worry about it," she responds. You take a step back. "Are you two.. together?", you ask tearing up. "What?", she says moving closer. "No, no, we're not I can absolutely promise you y/n, we are not. Why would you say that?" You shrug. "It always seems you two are keeping something to yourselves. It isn't any of my business-" Lou snaps at you, "You're right. It isn't." You take a step back, bumping into Tammy. "I'm sorry," you apologize as you walk up to your room.

You lay on your bed and begin to cry. You hear a light knock on your door. You sniffle and wipe your nose and eyes. "Come in," you say quietly. The door opens revealing Tammy standing there smiling. "Hey y/n," she says as she slips inside your room closing the door behind her. You quickly shoot her a smile. "Sorry, I expected you to be Lou," you say. She comes and sits next to you on your bed. "They all left to go do something," she says rubbing her hand on your back. You nod. "I'm sorry about yesterday," you say looking at Tammy. Tammy cups your cheeks in her hands. "Don't apologize to me for a thing," she says. "I was prying at you, so I should be apologizing." You shake your head. "It was my boyfriend," you blurt out. "What?", she asks looking at you concerned. "My boyfriend hit me," you say looking down. "Oh sweetie," she says pulling you into her arms. You begin to cry, feeling safe and comforted. Tammy begins running her fingers through your hair. "Th-Thank you," you sputter out. "We're family!", she exclaims. "It's the least I can do." After you finish crying you sit up and Tammy lets go of you. "That was so amazing, thank you so much," you say. "Y/n," she says concerned. You look at Tammy, "What's up?", you ask. She points to your wrists. "You did this to yourself?", she asks worried. "I did," you say lifting your wrists to your chest. "I don't want to anymore, I promised Lou," you say trying to reassure her. "Oh honey, I'm so sorry," she says hugging you again. "Sorry for what?", you ask while laughing. "I'm sorry you had such a rough childhood." You stop laughing and look down. "Sorry," she says, face palming. "Don't be sorry," you say. "I just don't like talking about it." You felt really upset and pissed off. "Can you," you try to begin. "Come here," she says holding her arms out. You lean into them. "How'd you know?", you ask sweetly. "I always know," she says kissing your head. 

"Y/n," you heard someone call. You sit up. Tammy was no longer hugging you or in your room. "Where's Tammy?", you ask groggily. "I asked her to give us some privacy," Lou says closing the door. You rub your eyes. "How long was I asleep for?", you ask. "Tammy said you were asleep for about an hour." You groan. "Naps always mess up my sleep schedule." Lou comes and sits next to you. "I'm sorry for snapping at you," she says. "Don't worry about it," you say half smiling. "I'm used to it by now." Lou sighs and rubs your back. "Are you going to tell me now?", you ask breaking the silence. Lou stands up and begins pacing. "I don't want to ruin things with you," she says running her hand through her hair. You stand up, angrily. "Come on!", you shout. "Are you with someone else? Am I nothing but a side piece to you?", you ask sternly. "No, y/n, I told you it's not like that!", Lou says reaching her arms out. "I don't know what else it can be!", you shout in frustration as you step backwards. "I just don't understand what you're keeping from me! Am I doing something wrong?", you ask as you tear up. "No! God damnit, no! Y/n you're perfect," Lou says as she holds you. "Then why can't you tell me what I'm doing wrong," you say as you start to cry. "We're in a heist. We're criminals," she says picking your head up by your chin.
