I was sitting on one of the chairs out near the pool, I had come over to Smurf's where people had flooded our backyard. I had a beer in my hand drinking it as I stared out at the water, pursing my lips thinking about today.

I snapped out of my head as I hear a cheer making me look up seeing Craig walking into the yard. Relief filled my chest as I got up running over to him throwing my arms around him, careful of his arm that was in the sling.

"Craig." I said squeezing him making him chuckle softly, he brings his hand up to my hair patting it before kissing it.

"Hey Sephy." Craig says making me smile as I pulled away from him grabbing his hand kissing it and he smiles.

"Don't scare me like that again okay. I don't think I need you leaving just yet."

"Don't worry Sephy, you're stuck with me for life." He says making me chuckle, I gave him one more hug as I stepped back so everyone else could greet him home. I looked at Baz who came through the back too, he gives me a small smile.

"Felt like I haven't seen you around here in days."

"It was only two days. Don't be so dramatic." I said smirking pushing his shoulder playfully and he laughs nodding.

"You okay?"

"I am. I will be. Just went off the deep end a bit, but I'm back."

"You know you can tell me anything, about anything." Baz says and I smiled nodding, he smiles one more giving me a hug kissing my head, "Come on, let's go get a drink."

We walked back over to everyone, Baz saying hi to everyone and Smurf coming over to me. Smiling at me and I smiled back at her, as she kisses my cheek, I didn't have to tell her anything she already knew. Mothers know everything.

We all got inside, I sat down on the corner of the couch smoking a cigarette as Pope sat down a few metres away from me. Smurf and J sat on the couch opposite me, Deran in the arm chair while Craig took the floor cutting up the coke.

"Sephy?" Craig says holding out a rolled up bank note making me chuckle, "For almost dying I think I deserve some fun."

"Guilt trip method always work out for you?" I said raising an eyebrow at him making him smirk as I shook my head.

I get up and walked over to him making him cheer, I got to my knees beside him grabbing the note placing it in my nose then snorting a line. I sat back with a gasp as I shake my head wiping my nose.

"Good shit huh?"

"Yeah. 100%." I said making Craig grin as he takes a line then handing me the note as he goes to cut another couple line for us.

"Dummy." Baz says calling out for Craig as we looked up, "You've only been off IV for like six hours. Switch to beer for a bit, just for fun. See what it feels like."

"Just six hours? I'm surprised his I.V wasn't entirely made of coke, it's the only thing running his veins." I said making Craig shove me playfully making me laugh as I grabbed the note snorting another line.

"And now you've got our sister on it, great role model." Baz says making me chuckle as I stood up, he holds out a beer making me take it nodding at him gratitude.

"J, try some." Craig says waving the boy down who shoots him down, I sat down beside him throwing my leg over his.

"Oh no thanks." J says politely and I chuckled, he looks down at my leg over his but doesn't say anything looking back to the group.

"Did you see Lucy while you were there?" Pope asked as Baz sat on the floor who laughed shaking his head.

"We got to get you laid man. You've been out for what, three weeks? That's unacceptable."
