Amy stirred awake and rolled over. Looking around, she smiled softly. She was clearly in Gabe's room, there was orange everywhere and his art supplies were strewn about in the chaos that was just him. She got out of the bed and gently shaking her head, started picking up his stuff. Once she was done, she left the room and started looking for Iris since she wasn't in the bed with her. She wasn't that worried since she knew she was safe with the guys, but she still wanted to see for herself.
She opened the guest bedroom and saw their stuff in there but not Iris. Spotting something on the desk she walked over and realized it was the packet that Mason had given her. She picked it up and turned it over, it was still sealed shut so they hadn't opened it. She sat at the desk and looked at the packet torn on if she should open it or not.
"You won't know until you open it." She quickly turned to see North standing in the doorway. "Just saying," he shrugged as he leaned against the doorframe.
"I know," she whispered as she looked back down at it. "But still..."
"Want me to open it?" He asked and she shook her head.
"No thank you," She continued to stare at the manilla envelope. "This is something I need to do."
"Want me to get Gabe?" He offered and she shook her head. "Want me to sit by you for support?"
"No," She shook her head, "Thank you but I think I should do this alone."
"Alright," He nodded, "if you need something just let us know. Sweet Pea is in the art studio with Gabe."
"Thank you," She nodded and he left shutting the door. She took a deep breath and tapped the packet on her knees. Finally she decided to just do it and opened the packet. She burst into tears when she saw what the papers were. She threw the papers and started pacing. She should have expected this but it still was shocking and hurt.
A sob escaped her lips as she grabbed her phone and threw it. She picked up something else and threw it as well. Anything her hands touched she threw. Exhaustion covered her so she went into the bathroom and turned on the water so she could wash her face and regain control of herself. She looked in the mirror and anger filled her again. Glass shattered around her and yet she remained completely numb. She couldn't feel anything but numbness and anger.
"TROUBLE!"
She looked up from the floor in confusion. She had no memory of falling to the floor, yet there she was on the floor. "Huh?"
"TROUBLE! LOOK AT ME TROUBLE! IT'S MEANIE LOOK AT ME!" Gabriel grabbed her and picked her up. The moment she felt him and smelled the soft orange scent that was uniquely him she broke into tears.
"Whoa," Luke gasped causing Gabe to glare at him as he took in the chaos of the room. "What happened?" Luke whispered.
"Guess she opened the packet," North whispered as he cleared a path for Gabe to walk through.
"Make sure Iris doesn't see this," Gabe heard Owen whisper to Victor.
"Oh god Iris," Amy started gasping. "Five, fi...fi...fi..."
"Shit," Gabe opened his door and sat on his bed. "I'm here, Trouble, I'm here. It won't get that bad, I promise, just hold me. Listen to my heart. Listen to what it's telling you."
"Ca...ca...can..." She sobbed as she clung to him.
"It's there," He soothed as he kissed the top of her head while a few tears slid down his face. "I promise it's there. You can hear it if you just calm down."
"Ca..ca..fi..fi.." She sobbed then started hitting his back.
"Five, I know," Gabe said trying to keep his own emotions in check and be strong for her. "I know Trouble, I know but I won't let it stay that way. I promise, I swear."
"Gabe," Sean spoke softly from the doorway. "I need to bandage her up, Gabe."
"Not now Doc," Gabe growled a little.
"You won't have to let her go, I promise," Sean said, "but I really need to make sure she's okay physically. She's bleeding, Gabriel."
"Looked like she clawed him as well," Luke muttered.
"Don't care," Gabe said scooting forward a little while making sure he held her tightly. "I'm fine."
"Pookie, can you let go just a little so I can clean your cuts please?" Sean asked as he barely touched her fist that was clutching the back of Gabe's shirt.
"I still have you Trouble," Gabe mumbled into the top of her head. "Let Doc fix you up, I got you, I'm not letting go, I have you."
"Fi..fi.." She gasped. "Ca..ca..fi..fi..no..no."
"Alright Trouble," He nodded, "alright. Let's do this, listen to your Meanie?" She nodded and he cleared his throat. "Let go of my shirt with one hand and let Doc fix you up then you can immediately grab me again. One hand at a time. Be a good Trouble and trust your Meanie, okay?"
"Try this Gabe," Silas said coming over and held out some headphones. Gabe nodded so Silas placed them on Amy and hit play. Victor's music filled her ears after a few moments he felt her lessen her grip ever so slightly but he knew in that moment it was a big breakthrough.
"Gabe?" Sean whispered.
"Yes, Sean," Gabe said gruffly. "If she let's go she will hurt herself."
"Five is black," Kota whispered.
"What the fuck triggered this?" Nathan asked.
