"Can you hurry up a bit? I have been waiting since forever. Are you buiding a castle or something inside the bathroom?" I heard a loud groan from the other side of the door.
Flynn was being so difficult and his impatience has reached a new height that it had become absolutely unbearable.

After the million dollar question I had asked him, his demeanor changed like the weather. His eyes became cold with his wrinkled lip and not to mention the ever present frown. He had become the moody cow since then and I was the unfortunate one who had to deal with special characters like him.

I know that I had crossed a certain boundary by intervening in his personal sphere. But it wasn't like I hadn't told him anything about my life and him.

"This is it. I'm counting from one to ten and if you don't come by then, I'm gonna burst through it." He screamed. Well, I was in the bathroom taking my sweet time as I washed my body. I missed taking long and hot bath but since it all started, getting in the shower was a pain. I hated what I saw. I hated how my skin glistened with fresh scars each day. Everyday without him really felt like Heaven. But even though he wasn't really here, the shadows of what he'd done still burned in the back of my head. I wasn't myself. I was the shadow of the girl I used to be. I hated myself for ever putting up with him. If anyone should be blamed, it should be me as I was the stupid one who flew into his web and got broken.

"Okay!! I'm coming in!!"

I barely heard anything before he burst through the door and I let out a scream.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!! You jerk!! Get the hell out!!"

Thank God. There was a curtain in the bath tub.

"Stop Screaming, Alright? Are you trying to throw us out of here?" He stood outside the curtain.

"Just give me two minutes. Let me get dressed. And Do.Not.Open.The.Door. " I wiped my body quickly with my towel and some of my wounds stung a bit. I gulped and put on my Cherry red top and a dark blue jean.

"Jeez. You don't know how to be patient, do you? You really need to attend Anger Management Class." I positively glared at him.

His eyebrows rose as his eyes quickly examined me from bottom to top. When I caught him, he shot me daggers.

"Are all girls like this? Atleast I hope Genie doesn't grow up to be like you and the rest of the female population."

Upon hearing her name, Regen a.k.a Genie ran towards us and stood next to the bathroom door.

"What about me?" She was looking between us.

Flynn picked her up and smiled at her. It was such a sight.

"Don't grow up to be like her, Alright?" He said pointing at me.

He was so annoying and I was tired of being at loggerheads with him.

"Hey, Genie. Don't grow up to date someone like him, alright?" I fired back at him.

She looked bewildered as her innocent eyes drifted between us. Her eyebrows pulled together as she said, "You both fight like my mommy and daddy. But you don't scream and throw things at each other."

Flynn and I exchanged glances.

"Your parents threw things at each other."

"My Mommy gets angry so fast and she always throws her phone at Daddy. Then, my Dad would take me to my room and would ask me to play with Mr. Snuggles." She looked down on the ground as if she was remembering something.

"Okay, Ladies. Time to move out of the bathroom so that I can take a shower."

I pulled Genie with me and walked out of the bathroom. We were currently living in another tiny hotel room which was arranged by our old hotel as a compensation. We'd 've to move by tomorrow.

We hadn't heard anything from her parents as yet. I liked having Genie around me. She was one thing that made me forget all my plans of dying. I hadn't thought of dying since two days but yet everytime my eyes trail over to my scars, that 'sinking' feeling starts over again.

"Is my parents alive?"

I was surprised. No, scratch that. Astonished, Surprised beyond no ends. I didn't know what to tell her 'cause I really didn't know if her parents were really alive. Did they make out of the fire?

"Yeah. Of course. They are simply missing. That's all."

"I miss my daddy. I want to go back to my home. Please, can you take me?" She pleaded as tears sprang from her eyes. I knew what she felt. I knew it. I knew how it feels to be without your parents. In that respect, She and I were same. Except she was so young to lose them whereas I never knew I was an orphan until days ago.

My heart dipped as I saw her tear stained face. I wiped away all her tears with my hands. "Hey, don't cry. I know you miss them so much. But atleast you have me and Flynn. I'll take good care of you until your mommy and daddy returns. Strong girls don't cry and now say cheese."

She said 'cheese' as a wide smile broke out of her face. I smiled at her.

"I like your smile. You are so pretty."She pulled my cheeks wide.

"Thank You,Girlie. You are prettier though and I bet a handsome prince would want to marry you." Genie grinned at me and clapped her hands. I leaned towards her and pecked her cheeks.

"I want a prince like Flynn. He is so handsome and you're his princess. You are so lucky."

"I am not-"

"What about me?" I heard his voice enter the room. Flynn sat next to Genie on the couch and took her into his laps.

"Are you a prince?" Genie asked him with wonder.

Flynn let out a chuckle and cupped Genie's cheeks.

"Why would you think I am a prince? Do I look like a Prince?" He raised his eyebrows.

"I think you do. You are very cute and you also have a cute princess." She looked at me as she spoke the last words.

Flynn broke into a Laughter and stared at me. A deep blush rose to my cheeks as I looked away.

"You watch way too many disney. But I am not a prince and neither is she a princess but you definitely are. You are so adorable."Genie's eyes widened and she let out a surprised gasp. I couldn't help but agree with him. She definitely was so adorable.

"I think if my sister ever met you, you guys'd be best friends." He suddenly said and I Stared at him in surprise.

He bought his sister again.

I wanted to ask him about her. I wanted to ask him what happened to her that made him not want to talk about her.

But I didn't.

Before I could, he stormed out of the room leaving Genie and I completely perplexed.
