June

I talk to tess about how she has been treated for the last few hours.
"Hmm how have they been treating you?" I ask sounding like a mom.
"Well ehh they have given me food three times today and they usually just gave it to me through the bars. they usually only give me food though. I share with eden and he seems to be taking it pretty hard. I'm not sure what's wrong with him but i think when the guy hit him with his gun it gave him a concussion. He's been complaining about some huge headache but always says he's fine afterwards. Now i'm kinda glad i actually bought the pill bottle with me."

This doesn't seem like the tess i know. She's so calm and i'm over here sort of panicking on what might be happening with day and nat. I remembers before how tess would always panic about the simplest things. Now right now in a moment like this where panicking would be the normal reaction to anyone she's just here calm.

"Hey tess how are you so calm? I mean i'm over hear mentally freaking out but you seem so calm" i say to her in a concerned voice.
"I don't know i guess because i know everything is going to be okay. Plus i have him" she points over at eden and i smile.
"Hmm so are you two like a thing?" I ask tess and she starts to blush at the thought.
"Not yet but i think we will be later on. I mean i really like him and he did try to save me from the people who took us. I just hope he gets better." I smile at the thought and remember what she said earlier.
"You love eden don't you" she moves a little bit closer to so only i can hear her.

"In all honesty june i'm madly in love with him. I love the way he talks laughs just everything about him. When i first saw him i felt my heart skip a beat." She says with a huge smile on her face.
"One thing that really made me change my mind was when he actually hit you" i feel that moment again. I hated it. I can't believe eden actually did that. Then again i don't blame him for doing it either.
"I remember that day. Daniel kept screaming at eden. I was terrified i didn't want to lose you june. I've lost enough people and i couldn't lose you. What had changed my mind about liking him was that he actually felt really really bad. He was on the verge of tears. That was the worst day of my life." I think about what tess has said and i'm curious about one question that is just for tess.

"Hey tess where is your real family. You know your parents and all that." Tess looks down as if remembering the moment and remembering the exact things she did that day. Yet she says it so positive.

"Oh them. Pshh. They're nothing. You see when i was little they actually locked me out of my house. I kept banging and banging on the door and no one would answer. Not even my siblings. I would cry because i wanted to be back in there. You see they thought it was easier to actually get rid of the youngest one an by luck it was me. After days of banging on the door i gave up. I tried to find food and through all that i ended up meeting daniel. Just because i am related to my parents and siblings that doesn't make them my family. You guys are my real family. They're my fake one. See the difference." She laughs a little before she goes back to staring at the floor.
"Well Tess it's an honor to be part of your family."
"I didn't say you were my family" with that i feel my cheeks burn and my heart drop a little.
"I'm kidding i'm kidding. You're my sister. Of course you're my family." She says laughing and i let out a breathe i've been holding in that i didn't know i was. I try to hug her again but fail because of the bars. We hear a voice coming from a corner.
