The next morning

Theres a suddle hint of mint and books when I woke up. Along with a raging headache. I open my eyes to find Spencer sleeping peacefully in my bed holding me to him.

I turn to look at my nightstand. The flowers sit pretty in my favorite vase. Along with a bottle of water and three pills on a napkin. Two tylenols, a small circle pill and a small note.

'Morning,
Last night we had sex without a condom. I wanted to give you the option of taking an emergency contraceptive and if you don't want to thats okay too. Just please drink all the water and take the tylenol.

Xoxo
Spencer"

I grab all 3 pills and take them then drink the water. I lay back down noticing the time on the clock. Its 3 am and since I'm not going running I'm going to go back to sleep. I press a kiss to Spencer's neck as he wraps his arms around my waist.

"Hey Alex an I are going running you want to come?" I ask Seb going down the stairs.

"Sure, is Aya coming?"

"No clue, I think she's still sleeping. I'll go check though." I say and he nods. Walking down the steps to Aya's room I knock on the door.

No answer

Knock again

No answer

I open the door and walk in. She and Spencer are sound asleep.

"Is she coming?" Alex asks coming up behind me.

"Shhh, look" I say quietly pointing at the two. He looks at them holding eachother.

"She's finally happy" I mutter closing the door.

"What do you mean?" He asks

"I know I shouldn't say this but her last relationship was abusive, it was horrible. But we couldn't do much  you know, Seb and I were only kids. But one day she came into our room with a giant black eye. She had bruises all over her, it was horrible. I was only 14 but we put her in the car and drove to the hospital. I couldn't drive but we made it. Turns out she was 5 months pregnant and he beat her because she wouldn't make dinner for the two of them. No one can really recover from that. She started training after that. We learned to shoot, drive, swim, throw knives. It's why she takes training so seriously. Why we all do. Runs at 4 am, guns everywhere, Armed guards. We live in the suburbs where people don't lock their doors." I lift up a picture and grab the gun that rests on the back of it.

"This shit is sink or swim for us, because she almost sunk. Imagine what that would be like. We had no parents no life experience whatsoever and the only person we looked up to could have died." I mutter through a sob.

"Moura" he mumbles pulling me into his chest. We stand like that until Seb comes down the stairs.
