 I feel my feet slide out from under me. I let out a screech as I tumble down the stairs."EREN"V shouts sliding out of the bedroom only to see me crumpled at the bottom of the stairs. 'did you fall down the stairs?" Vi questions walking down quickly."yes obviously"I moan sitting up.


"How can you be so clumsy," she says pulling me to standing."I'm normally not I just wasn't paying attention" I say grabbing my ankle as a sharp pain shouts through it."I think I twisted my ankle, "I say my hand rubbing over it.


"Caitlyns going to be so mad I let you get hurt, "Vi says scooping me up. she hurries up the stairs into the kitchen. she grabs a towel from the closet and an ice pack from the fridge. she wraps the towel around the ice pack and hands it to me." ice fifteen minutes off and on"she says sitting down next to me.


"you'll be okay if I head out for a bit right?"Vi asks popping up."ya you think you could help me to Cait's room first?" I ask and she wraps an arm around me helping me over. I sit on Cait's bed  and lay down."I'm heading out I will be back in a little bit" Vi says kissing my head and heading out the window." she has a door" I say as she sits on the window sill." I know" Vi says jumping out.


i set my head back down. her ceiling is plane it makes my mind drift I'm out within minutes.


FLASHBACK

"vi I don't think I can keep up"I pant as we race across rooftops." you're okay just keep running" she treasures as we take a turn . we jump to another building and I tumble as I and. she pulls me up and we start running again." vi"I pant trying to keep up with her.


"just a little bit farther," she says jumping to the net building.I follow on y fucking jello legs I a lot slide off the rooftop. Vi catches my hand jerking me up."come on just a bit farther" she says sliding down toward the underground.


"stop them"an enforcer yells behind us. that pushes me to action. I slide down a lot less gracefully than vi.I fall and hit my stomach multiple times. then I land on the hard ground loudly"you good?"Vi asks pulling me up." of course I'm not I told you not to take me I can't do this," I say pulling my shirt up to look at the bruises already forming on my stomach.


"you're never going to get better if you don't try, "Vi says leading m out of the alley." we need to get back to the last drop," she says pulling her hood over her head. I follow after her trying to look like a normal girl. I get a lot of stares from men. all of them are unwanted they are sticky and gross. even when I worked in the brothel I was constantly telling men I wouldn't work for them.


Vi's steps quicken and I start a slow jog to keep up with her. we turn down a new street he last drops stands in front of us. our home at least for now. I don't think I will ever have a stable home again. I place to know is safe that's just not the life I am ever going to get. we push open the door al head turn to us." girls go downstairs" Vander says from his spot behind the bat. we nod hurting away conversation-starting back u as we head down the stairs.


"wow, what happened to you two" Milo ass from his spot on the couch. I sit in vi's chair as she grabs the first aid kit."Vi thought I could go on a job with her and I got myself hurt"I say throwing myself back into the chair tossing my leg over the armrest."I don't know who could have said that coming"Milo says sarcastically." shut up milo"vi says kneeling down in front of me and grabbing my arms." you didn't say you had cut" she says inspecting the cuts." it's not a big deal "I say pulling my arm from her grasp.


"it is a big deal they will get infected I you don't let me clean them," she says grabbing my arm. she puts some rubbing alcohol on a towel the cleans my cuts with it. I let out a hiss as I grind my teeth." ya it would be much worse if I hadn't caught it now" she says reaching into the back for some bandages. she starts to wrap my arm slowly "remind me to get more of this we are almost out" she says ripping it with her teeth and tossing it back in the first aid kit." you got it man." now let me get a look at those brusies.


"nope, I standing up trying to walk away."I have to take a look if it is worse than just a bruise" she says standing up and pushing me back down." she pulls up my shirt to inspect the bruises."I feel like I am interrupting something"Milo whispers."shut up" vi growls still looking at my stomach she brings her fingers up to push at the bruises."ow you bitch" I say jerking back away from her." sorry I think you'll be fine" she says standing up."whoa you are an amazing doctor" milo says before v slaps his head."ow" he whines rolling onto his tummy." that's what you get"Claggor says laughing.


"Are you all okay?"Vander asks walking down the last of the steps." never better" I say pulling my shirt even further down." that's good to hear" he says milo sits up as Vander sits on the couch." how did the job go ?" he questions Vi. she tosses him a bag, the bag with the loot in it." good job kids" he says pushing himself up." I have got to go to benzos" he says retreating up the steps." that wasn't weird at all" I say laughing slightly.

END FLASHBACK

"hey muffin," Caitly says hand cupping my cheek I snuggle into her." how was work?"I ask looking up at her." good, where is Vi?" she questions thumb gently rubbing my cheek." she went out she wanted to go get something" I say probing myself u on my hand." were you really tired?" she questions "no I fell and hurt my ankle"I say with a faint blush." how did you fall" she asks racing under the blanket old fingers searching for my ankle."I fell down the stairs and vi had me out ice on it"' i say faceplanting into the covers." this looks a little swollen she says holding my ankle loosely.


"she told me to keep icing it but I went to bed instead, "I say voice muffled by the blanket." I can tell, "Caitlyn says hand stroking my hair.  "that obvious, "I say lifting my head. she nods a smile on her face." that's great" I say sarcastically."let go get something to eat ." she says as I slide out of bed and land loudly on the floor. I let out a loud groan "you should've stood up" she says laughing as she walks to the door."I know "I say pushing myself after her walking slowly.


we step into the kitchen and I lean up against the counter. Caitlyn starts digging in the fridge until she finds an ice pack. then she walks t the closet and gets a towel to wrap it in."ice it some more please" she says handing it to me. I hold it to my ankle." go sit at the table ill cook something" she says pushing me toward the table. I fall into a seat probing my leg in the seat next to me and start icing it.


"here you go, "Caitlyn says setting a bowl down in front of me." thanks, "I say picking up the spoon to bring some to my mouth." Vi said you liked  soups," she says sitting across from me eating her own bowl."I do it's my favorite" I say smiling softly at her." that good it's one of the only things I know how to cook" she says with a laugh." well that's better than me I cant cook anything" I say looking down at my bowl."well I can teach you what I know" she says catching my hand and giving it a squeeze."yes we should that sounds like a lot of fun"I say still smiling.
