Aria's P.O.V

"Can we just get home...." I focused hard on not breaking down with tears before picking Amelia up and storming past Wally.

"Ari-.." Wally started but I didn't hear the rest.

"Mommy? Are you upset at daddy?" Amelia asked with wide eyes as she held tight to my shirt.

"I'm....it's hard to explain Amelia....Daddy really upset mommy, he hurt mommy's heart." I tried to hold back tears as I looked into the eyes of my daughter who resembled her daddy in so many ways.

I quickly wiped my tears away as De, Dick and Wally met me in the parking lot. I handed Amelia to Wally without any eye contact before hopping into the car, I leaned my head against the window and didn't take my gaze off the sky until we reached the airport.

Octavia's P.O.V

I pushed rushed down the hallway and to the room I shared with Jason quickly slamming the door and locking it so he couldn't come in. I fell against it and let out silent sobs into my knees. Jason hadn't tried to hurt me in so long, and all of my emotions were back from the past. I pulled my legs tightly to my chest as I heard footsteps approaching the door. Jason.

"Octavia....Let me in...You know you can't keep me locked out forever....My briefs are in there...I'll need a fresh pair at some point." He stated, twisting the locked knob.

"Go ask Jared or Dick..I'm sure they wear a similar size as you do." I sniffled, wiping a tear from my face.

"O...Please talk to me? You know I would never hurt you.." he sighed.

"Really never? How about when you attacked me those years ago? Or just last night? Never hurt me is a understatement." I sobbed, covering my mouth with my hands in hope he didn't hear.

"Octavia...Neither of those times was I in the right mindset... I wasn't in control of my own body. Remember when we first met, and I saved you? I about wanted to kick your ass for being stupid and lying to me but I didn't. I made sure you were o-"

"You let me stay with you a few nights to make sure I was ok..I remember.." I lifted my head from my legs and glanced at a hung up picture of little me and Jason before we joined the team, "That was back then though...this is now." I pushed myself up from the floor and opened the door, pushing past Jason before he had the chance to grab me.

"Octavia..." he called out, but I didn't turn around.

Lexie's P.O.V

I leaned against a wall holding a picture of me with Ryan and De way before the accident. Before all the pain hit. Before I learned the meaning of loss. A tear escaped down my check and onto Ryan's face in the frame, I slowly wiped it away as the door opened to the room I was hiding in.

"Lex? Lexie are you-Lexie...." Tim sighed, closing the door and walking up to me before kneeling down to my level.

"Tim...Listen I appreciate you c..coming to check on me and all...but just....leave m...me alone ok?" I whimpered, hugging the picture close and letting my tears flow.

"I'm not going anywhere, I want you to listen to me when I say that I am here for you Lexie. I want you to feel safe and cared fo-"

"Safe? Tim...I haven't felt safe since the night I lost my best friend...It's my fault him and Aria were out together that night...I planned his proposal to De..Him and Aria were going to set it up for her so it was perfect....I picked the place...if I hadn't then maybe he'd still be alive with me now. I wouldn't be having constant nightmares of his death." I choked, squeezing the picture closer to my chest.
