Indi was in her room when her mom walked in her room and Indi looked up at her.

"Please tell me you don't also self-harm," Georgia said.

Indi then didn't say anything and that gave Georgia the answer she was hoping wasn't true. Georgia then walked over to Indi's bed and sat down beside her and pulled her in her arms, and she kissed her head.

"You know that's not the answer Bear" Georgia said playing with her hair.

Indi nodded. "Yeah I know but it's like the only escape"

Georgia sighed. "what even caused it?"

"Remember Jessica?" Indi asked.

Georgia nodded. "Yea I do"

"Well after she died is when I started because I couldn't deal with the pain"

"You could have talked to me"

"It wasn't that easy," Indi said.

"I know it wouldn't have been easy, but it would have been better if you told me," Georgia said.

Indi sighed and also decided to tell her that she doesn't eat as much. "Mom, I should also tell you that I don't eat much"

Georgia sighed and stood up and pulled Indi up from the bed. "Come on we are going to get you something to eat"

Indi sighed and got up and followed her mom down to the kitchen. Indi sat down at the bar when they got to the kitchen.

Georgia gave Indi the food and walked around and sat down beside Indi. "So you said when you got back you would tell me why you ran away. So why did you?"

Indi sighed and told her mom all about Jackson except the part about shooting him.

Georgia sighed and closed her eyes for a moment. "I'm sorry you had to go through with that"

"It's fine Mom"

"No, it's not you shouldn't have to go through with that," Georgia told.

"Yea, I know," Indi said and started to eat the food so it would make her mom happy.

Georgia 'Virginia, Indiana, life's not fair. It's hard, and so you gotta be hard right back. Never let 'em see you cry. Strong face, strong front. What they don't know, they can't use against you.

Indi was sitting beside her mother while Ginny was sitting on the other side. Georgia looked at Ginny and then at Indi before wrapping her arm around each of them pulling them closer to her. Ginny chuckles and Indi smiled cuddling into her mom more.

"Just three comfies on a couch"

"We haven't left this couch in days," Ginny said.

"We are the couch. The couch is us. You two don't have to go back to school tomorrow if it's too much. We could play hooky, watch movies all day" Georgia said.

"If I watch one more rom-com, I will light myself on fire," Ginny said.

"Yeah same," Indi said.

Georgia pulled away after hearing the two say that. "That is not funny"

"It's a little funny"

Georgia then grabbed a blanket from behind them and pulled it over Ginny and ruffled Indi's hair.

"What? What are you--"

Ginny then phone buzzed and she went to grab it. "Marcus is back from his grandparents"
