Three Days Later

"Stop it! Stop it! Hit me! Hit me!" Sabrina screams in her sleep. Gianna wakes up next to her in bed. She carefully rests her hand on Sabrina's arm.

"Sabrina... Sabrina... wake up. Wake up, baby," she says calmly.

"Don't! Don't... wait..." the blonde opens her eyes and gasps for air. Gianna brushes some hair out of her face.

"It's okay, you're safe Sabrina. You're safe. It's over," she says. Sabrina falls back into Gianna's arms, "Breathe. It's okay."

"I... I'm sorry," she whispers. Gianna kisses the top of her head.

"It's okay. You're safe now," she says. Sabrina was able to leave the infirmary the day after coming back. Her ribs were all broken in different places, so she groans from the pain of jolting awake. Her arm is also in a sling as her shoulder was dislocated for so long. Her nose is stuffed from being broken and the rest of her body is unharmed other than the extensive bruising she has.

Sadie suffers from broken ribs and a broken nose in addition to the concussion she received from hitting her head on the concrete. She left the infirmary the next day with Bella, who has her leg casted from the bullet going through her leg. Both girls also have dark rings around their necks from being choked.

"Do you wanna go eat?" Gianna asks. Sabrina nods. The brunette helps her sit up to ease her pain. She then walks around the bed to help the blonde up. The two walk out of one of the guest rooms on the second level and go downstairs.

Twenty children remain at the Estate. They are still working on locating their families. Natalia, Robin, Jenna, Briar, and Dacre are already awake. Finn and Joe went back to their homes the day after. The rest of them are helping out with the children and the girls who are recovering.

"Morning," Natalia greets. Dacre stands up from his place at the dining table and goes over to help Sabrina.

"Easy, easy," he says to his sister as she sits down in the chair. Gianna takes the spot next to her as Felipé brings out plates for the two, "How are you feeling?"

"Like shit," Sabrina comments.

"Good to see your humor's back," Jenna smiles. Sabrina cracks a light smile. She's put her exterior back up for the rest of them. Only Gianna sees her when she's vulnerable and the brunette knows it. She also knows that Sabrina would rather not have the others see her in that state, so Gianna doesn't say anything about it.

"How are you guys?" Gianna asks the others. Robin and Jenna give her a thumbs up, "Have they found the other families?"

"Not yet," Briar answers, "Hopefully by tonight they will."

"We're going to head back tonight," Natalia announces. Gianna looks at Sabrina.

"I can't go back to my apartment can I?" she asks. Sabrina and the others shake their heads.

"We'll get you a new house," Sabrina says. The others are hesitant to see how Gianna responds. Especially after this whole situation. The brunette hesitates in asking.

"Well... actually, what if... what if I came and lived with you?"

Robin and Natalia hold back squeals of happiness while Jenna cracks a wide smile. Briar and Dacre share the same smile as they look at Sabrina. The blonde is oblivious to the fact that they all know Gianna is head over heels for her.

"Well, I can't go back to my house now either," she grumbles. Everyone sighs at the blonde's answer, "they probably trashed my house."

"Sabrina," Jenna clears her throat.
