I gasped sitting up in the bed, sweat dripping down my forehead as I looked around taking a minute to see that I was in my room. I was taking ragged breathes as I leaned forward to put my head in my hands, closing my eyes.

I could still hear and see the flashbacks going through my head making me open my eyes, I looked over at the time and see it was 4am. I pursed my lips in annoyance before throwing the covers off my body.

I walked myself over to the bathroom to wash my face, I turned the tap on splashing my face with cold water sighing. I looked up at my reflection and I pursed my lips, I turn away from myself walking back out.

I couldn't go back to sleep so I decided to sketch, it was usually what I did to take my mind off things. I could sketch and draw for hours without realising, it was one thing that I could control.

I was sitting at my sketch table when I heard my phone ring, I dropped my pencil walking over to see it was Smurf calling. I would've just let it ring but then she would be at my door, I picked it up sliding to answer it.

"Yeah?"

"Is that any way to greet me?" She says and I could already she the look she was giving me on the other side.

"Sorry."

"It's okay sweetheart."

"What's up? Why you calling so early?" I said walking over out of the Art Studio and down the stairs that led to my loft.

"Like you weren't already awake." She says and I rolled my eyes lightly, "I'm on my way to pick up Julia's son, she O.D'd."

"Oh shit. I'm sorry Smurf." I said frowning as I remember Julia vaguely, I had never met her and the only person who would ever talk about her was Pope. The boys or Smurf wouldn't talk about her, if her name did mysteriously come up they wouldn't say anything but the little comments Smurf would make.

"Meet back at the house, the boys will be there too and don't bother saying no." Smurf says making me chuckle shaking my head.

"Alright, I'll be there. I'll see you soon."

"See you soon my love." She says and I hung up the phone seeing it was just after 5pm. I threw the phone on the bed as I jogged over to the bathroom getting into the shower, feeling better before getting out.

I got out of the shower grabbing the towel when I caught sight of my reflection, I had brown skin with scars covering my body including tattoos that covered up some of the scars. I had thick loose curly black hair that laid against my back, I had piercings up and down my ears along with a nose piercing on the left.

I pulled my eyes away from my reflection and I walked over to my dresser, I grabbed a white bikini putting it on then a baggy shirt that fit like a dress. It was getting hot and I didn't want to add more layers on to my body.

I pulled my hair back using a bandana, then putting on my sneakers I grabbed my phone and bag making sure it had my keys. Once that was settled I left my loft and getting down to the garage where my black 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle sat alongside my 2013 Triumph Triple R.

I got into my car and I drove straight over to Smurf's place, it wasn't that far from my loft. I got into the gate and I see Smurf still wasn't home yet, I got out of the car and I could hear the boys laughing out back.

I walked all the way through to the back seeing Deran and Craig wrestling in the water as Baz stood on the edge laughing at them sipping at a beer.

"Wow you guys started without me?" I said notifying them of my presence making them all turn their heads. The boys got out of the pool and I walked over to them, Baz the first to reach me giving me a hug, then followed the rest.
