Fallon wakes up next to Miles. Not having even an ounce of motivation, she just lays there. She looks over at the alarm clock and sees that it's almost eleven.

"Miles, wake up." She groans pushing him. Of course, he doesn't budge, not even an inch. His snap open. They lay still for a few minutes before forcing themselves to get up and get ready. They both walk into the closet.

Fallon slips into some leggings and one of Miles' hoodies. While Miles puts on some joggers and a t-shirt. Then they walk downstairs together. Fallon looks in the kitchen and sees Chloe and Luke making lunch together.

Fallon cringes at the thought of food. When Chloe sees Fallon, she runs over and hugs her. Tightly.

"I'm so sorry." She whispers. Fallon just nods and attempts to smile at her before joining Miles, Sawyer, and Harden in the living room. She takes in Sawyer's appearance. She sees his bandage-wrapped wrist.

"I'm so sorry," Sawyer whispers quietly. Fallon knew what he meant, but before she could respond she heard Miles scoffs, catching everyone's attention. He feels the anger growing within him.

"Maybe if you would've done your job." He starts walking over to Sawyer. Not evening caring for Sawyer's side of the story.

He keeps moving towards Sawyer. Harden stands up walking over to them with Fallon hot on his trail.

"Miles," Fallon says warningly.

"Well, it's true. He's supposed to be your bodyguard." Sawyer looks like he's about to cry before Harden steps in.

"Shut up, you know it's not his fault." He sneers pushing Miles away from Sawyer. That's when Miles snaps. He raises his fist and connects it with Harden's jaw. Harden lifts his, and they start exchanging punches.

Luke looks over and quickly walks towards them. Before he reached them, Sawyer tries to step in and stop it before it gets worse. That's when he feels a fist connect with his nose.

"Fuck!" He screams in pain, as he grabs his nose.

"Fuck Sawyer, I'm so sorry," Miles says with sorry eyes.

He just storms off with blood dripping down his hands. He hears Fallon yelling at Miles and hears Harden behind him as he storms out of the house. He walks into their house and goes straight to the bathroom.

"Are you okay, baby?" He asks with worried eyes. He just nods as he washes his hands. Harden gets a wet paper towel and cleans off his face. After he cleans it off, he looks at it.

"It's not broken." He tells Sawyer who just nods. He gratefully takes the painkillers Harden offers him. They walk out to their living room, deciding to play Xbox.

That's how they spend the next few hours, cuddled on the couch playing Call of Duty. They then hear a knock on the door.

"Come in," Harden shouts.

They watch as Fallon and Miles walk in. They walk over and sit on the couch beside them. Sawyer and Harden make no effort to move.

"I'm really sorry, Sawyer. For everything. I was just mad and needed someone to blame. I'm also deeply sorry for punching you. It was intended for Harden." He finishes causing Fallon to hit him. Sawyer chuckles.

"It's alright." He says scooting in between Harden's legs. He realizes the pain in his nose has almost all the way subsided. They put on a movie and spend the rest of the day hanging out. Fallon smiled.

Although she's lost a lot and gone through unimaginable pain, she's slowly getting put back together. With the help of everyone.

"Let's go out for supper," Sawyer suggests. They all agree and walk out to Harden's truck. Harden and Sawyer get in the front, leaving Miles and Fallon to the back.

"Is your wrist okay?" Fallon asks Sawyer breaking their previous silence.

"Yeah, just needed a few stitches." He recalls. Fallon nods and returns to the silence. She remembers the week of torture.

"Did you guys find the people responsible?" She asks curiously.

"Yes, and we took care of them," Miles answers simply. Fallon drops it, not liking the thoughts that were invading her head.

They decide to just swing through a drive-through. After ordering their food, they head home to eat. They walk into the house and sit at the table.

"I think I want to start training," Fallon says causing everyone to exchange looks.

"Are you sure?" Miles asks. She nods.

"I need to at least know how to defend myself." She explains earning nods from everyone.

"Harden, Sawyer, you guys will train her." They all nod, then return to their supper. After small talk and finishing supper, Sawyer, and Harden head home. Fallon and Miles walk up to their room.

"I want to be more involved in the mafia." She says randomly, surprising Miles. He smiles at that, which she returns.

"When can I start training?" She asks excitedly.

"The doctor said physically you're fine, but it's honestly up to you." He answers.

"I want to start tomorrow." She answers eagerly before slipping under the blankets.

"Okay." He says hesitantly as she pulls up Criminal Minds. He slips in next to her and they watch several episodes, before falling asleep.

The next morning Miles and Sawyer wake up bright and early to get ready for Fallon's training.

"I think training will be good for her. She needs an outlet for all her anger and emotions."

Sawyer says to Harden who just gives him a nod. They both put on t-shirts and athletic shorts before walking over to Miles and Fallon's house.

They walk into the quiet house and see Fallon sitting on the couch waiting. After they exchange hellos, they walk to the indoor gym. The gym is empty due to it being only a little after seven. They walk over to an empty ring.

"Are you ready to start?" Harden asks.

"As ready as I'll ever be." She answers.
