"so ray and june will go to get apple and the location. alex and i will go and try to help dominic get his memories back," v explains, once again, in this conversation with everyone.

"but ray has never tried-"

"ray is good. great even. spectacular on a great ass day. what happened with her physical body wasn't her doing. dominic's mind is crumbling, and she was getting caught in that," v says to seph.

"but couldn't that happen again with you two?"

"you guys need to check on us. keep us tethered to this world. it's the only way that we can withstand staying under for so long," i tell them. "this is the moment that we've been searching for since we got here! we have to take this risk. apple is sick of that place and wants to come home. dominic wants to come home. i think it's about damn time we're due for a rescue mission."

"so tonight?" gray asks.

"yes," i nod.

"and dominic will be okay? he won't try and kill us?" matt asks.

"we don't know yet," alex says, "but ray hasn't felt him until right now. which says a lot. i think it's worth the fucking try."

"i'm going to be honest, i don't know anything else, except making sure our family is safe. i owe it your mom, alex. i promised her. told her i'd kick some sense into your brother as well. and i plan on doing both."

"should we do a group therapy session when we're all together?" june suggests. "i think it'll be a good way to get used to the new dynamic."

"therapy?" i question.

"it's not bad ray," she says.

"yeah, but, we won't need a group session," i say, shaking my head.

"we are a family. and i read that a good working family communicates with each other and are open to new ideas. we should do it."

"i like the idea," seph smiles.

"i kind of like the idea as well," gray says, raising his hand slightly.

i roll my eyes.

"what's the worst thing that can happen?" v asks.

"we all hate each other," i shrug.

"not going to happen," alex chuckles.

"fine," i groan. "we'll have a group therapy session."

"yay!" june cheers.

"we four are going to need lots of energy. we should try a nap to rejuvenate our bodies," v suggests to us.

"alright. well i'll try and get some type of sleep. this plan will work. let's please all believe that," i plead.

"we do believe it ray," gray smiles.

"good. glad we're on the same page."

i walk away and to my room.

🐲 | your initiative makes me happy ray. thank you for doing this.

🌹 | you guys are all i have. i feel more for the fikes than i ever did for my own family. they never cared about what happened to me and georgia. but you guys care. thank you for trying with me. i know how difficult i can be, i'm working on it.

🐲 | i'm here for whatever you need ray. i trust you with my life. and there's few people i trust.

🌹 | thank you for your loyalty. i hold it dear to me. i never take it for granted, and i'm sorry if i ever did.

🐲 | i was waiting for the light to be sparked again. i knew it had to be your choice. but i still tried to push you.

🌹 | i'm going to always be there for your alexander. i'll be the best younger sister you ever had.

🐲 | that's apple's title.

🌹 | i'll be the best superhuman younger- oh shit! still apple.

🐲 | how about the best friend that truly cares for me and my immediate family. long. but it covers all bases.

🌹 | the best friend who needs a better best.

🐲 | we'll work on it. see you in a bit.

i enter my room and plop down on my bed.

we've accomplished a lot. from when it was just me and dominic, and now with my group of six. we're not complete though. i feel it inside. maybe even with dominic and apple back, we might not be complete. who knows how many of us are still alive in this world. how will we find each other?

we found veda. maybe sooner or later, we'll all find each other, like some wavelength that draws us to us. or something.

i don't know what's going to happen when our little family comes back together, but i'm hoping no more fighting. i'm tired of fighting.

tired of ann mostly.

why is she so obsessed with us. it couldn't have been because of the government. it didn't even seem as if anyone was telling her what to do.

who even is ann malecot?

i sit up.

i doubt records are just going to be on paper anymore. and i don't know a thing about electricity and how it works.

that would be a waste of time anyway.

do we really need to know ann malecot? i'll kill her and not care about anything from her past, or future.

i lay back down.

i need to focus on how i'm going to teach apple to take me out of her happy place and into where she is.

i'll have to teach her on my own.

i can do it.

june will be able to help me. it should come easy.

i close my eyes.

i'm coming for you apple. i won't give up on you.

i will find you and bring you back to me.

i fall to sleep quickly, my body needing the relaxation.
