Two days passed since Elias, Isaac and Nicolas came back, and since then they have been working hard so that Adriana would forgive them. Sucks to suck, because Adriana was pretty and not about to let three weeks of nerves dissappear to a few cute gestures. Even so, the guys did make an improvement. Since today Adriana finally came out of her room, still wrapped in her blanket. Her boyfriends were more than delighted to see her.

"Adriana! Finally, please come have breakfast with us, please."

Isaac almost begged as he gently pushed her to the table. Aria sat down, not saying a word. She hasn't talked to then since the confrontation. This time a plate of scrambled eggs with toast and bacon was placed in front of her, still slightly steaming.  Elias smiled and wanted to kiss the top of her head, but held himself back to not overwhelm Adraina.

Her mental state was low, and it took a lot of courage to leave her room. They knew that if they wanted to see Adraina as her old self again, they had to take things slow. Adriana looked rough to say the least, her eyes had dark eyebags under them, if she would actually have a good sleep every time she closes her eyes, those would be gone. The girls hands were slightly shaking while using the utensils. The three guys watched her carefully, ready to jump is anything happens.

"... Stop staring. It's uncomfortable."

Adriana talked, well, more like whispered, but it was like hearing the voice of the Holy spirit to the three men.

"Sorry."

All of them averted their gazes somewhere else, Elias looked at the newspaper, Isaac looked out the window, and Nicolas went back to making something. He soon placed a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows floating in it. It smelled delicious. Adriana took the cup into her hands, taking in its warmth. Suddenly Adriana felt a shiver up her spine and turned to see Isaac staring at her... hand. Oh no.

Adrina pulled up her hoodie sleeve and continued to drink the delicious drink. It brought warmth to her stomach as she slightly smiled at the feeling, and man, did that tiny smile give so much hope to the three guys. The hope to be forgiven. Adriana got up to go to her room, but she stopped before going fully up the stairs.

"... You can come in."

With that there were little footsteps and the sound of a closing door. Nicolas and Elias were stunned by the sudden invite, while Isaac was thinking if he should tell them. Tell them about the deep bruises he saw on her wrist.
