Sera spent the weekend at Ca$hs, on Sunday she decided to head home. Sera thanked Nan for letting her stay and hugged Ca$h, she bid the two goodbye before making her way to the little green car. she got into the passenger side not even looking at Ant, "mums pissed Sera" she nodded looking at her hands "I know" he turned to her "No you don't know, we were worried sick. I was worried sick!" she didn't dare look at him, "if shits wrong, if. if something happened to you again. Fuck Seraphine, I couldn't leave with myself" Ant rested his head on the steering wheel breathing deeply, Ser reached over placing her hand on his back. "Anthony, I'm sorry. I should've told you. I couldn't deal with shit at home after what Spider did" he looked at her not speaking "What you all did" he nodded reaching over the console to give her a tight hug "Just if shit gets bad talk to me Angel. you're my baby sister. I love you more then anyone" he pulled away holding his pinky out "We've only got each other" Sera smiled linking her pinky with his "Always." Ant smiled and pulled away setting his car into gear. "You're seriously in so much shit though" Sera laughed buckling up her seat belt as they drove home, "oh I know"

11:00 am

As the two walked through the door they could hear the pacing of their mother, she was rambling on to their dad before both parents set their eyes on their kids. The room filled with silence as their mum made her way to Sera, she stood in front of her before pulling her into a tight hug "My sweet Angel, I was worried sick! Thank the heavens you're ok!" her mum pulled away checking over Seraphines body for any cuts or bruises. Sera nodded holding her mum's hands, "I'm fine mum honest" Mrs Vaughn nodded, "You're grounded for a week" Sera nodded "I know, and I'm sorry I had a go at you" Her mum nodded before hugging her daughter. Sera heard soft pads of footsteps on the stairs, she lifted her head from her mum's shoulder noticing the tall blonde. He stuffed his hands in his pockets looking at her awkwardly, he shuffled from one foot to another. "He's been here all weekend" Her mum whispered in her ear, Sera nodded and pulled away approaching him, she didn't say anything and grabbed his hand dragging him up the stairs.

As soon as they entered the room Spider sat on her bed looking at her, Sera crossed her arms waiting for him to talk. "Look, Angel. I'm so sorry. What we did was dumb as fuck" he shook his head not daring to look at his girlfriend. "We just couldn't stand the class and needed a way out and we took it way too far" Sera unfolded her arms and sat next to him on the bed. "I just have a question" he looked over at her as she stared blankly ahead "What's with you and Amerie?" she met his eyes and immediately noted the panic in his body. "what do you mean?" he questioned, she scoffed rolling her eyes at him, "I mean I saw you two talking the other night" Spider looked down at his lap fidgeting with his rings, "Look I, liked her and after the festival. I, went back to hers. Nothing even happened! cause I couldn't get it up but.." he trailed off not looking to her. 

"Did you want something to happen?" Sera looked at him waiting "I.. I don't know" she nodded slowly looking ahead again. yes, it hurt he wanted to have sex with someone else, someone that was her friend. but, she had felt the same about others. "Spencer, I'm not angry if that's what you think" his headshot to hers with widened eyes "What?" she laughed at his expression holding his hands in her own "Yeah like, it was a while ago and you don't like her anymore right?" Spider shook his head staring into her dark eyes. "I only have eyes for you my Angel" he smiled leaning his forehead on her, Sera pulled away looking at him. She punched his arm quite harshly "That is for being an absolute cockhead" he faked an ow clutching his arms, she grabbed a fistful of his shirt pulling him forward to press their lips together, "That's because I love you" Spider smiled widely wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her onto his lap. He kissed her passionately holding her to his chest tightly, worried she'd run off again. he pulled away looking deeply into her eyes "I love you so much my Angel" she giggled kissing his nose "I love you Spider, just you need to try ok?" he tilted his head questioningly at her, she rolled her eyes flicking his nose "Youre a real cunt Spencer, and that needs to change ok?" he nodded kissing her face everywhere "I will, I promise"

He looked up at her, "If we're being all feelings and honest, can I ask you a question?" Sera nodded trailing light kisses down his neck, "what are those marks on your legs" Seraphine froze, she sat straighter looking at him "What?" her eyes darted over his face but never met his eyes. "When we, did stuff. You had these marks on your leg" She rested her hands on his lap looking down at them, "You don't have to tell me! I just worry about you yeah?" she shook her head holding back tears "No, we need to talk about this yeah" she crawled off his lap laying on her sheets, she patted the spot next to her. he laid with her looking at her and waiting patiently.

"Last year, I was pretty much alone. I only had Ant but he had you and Dusty so there wasn't much room for me. so I began to spiral. I had no one looking after me, mum and Dad put all their focus on Ant, he was the social cooler twin. that they didn't care for me, I got straight A's, was school captain and got all the praise from all my teachers for my work. And they never even cared, no matter how much I tried. And one night, I just got so sick of it, I wanted to hurt myself the way they had hurt me. So I started to hurt myself. Ant had found me at 3 in the morning crying on the bathroom floor, covered in my blood and barely conscious. He had to get our neighbours to help cause mum and dad were at a church function. It's why he's so careful with me like he thinks I'll break again. I got submitted to a mental clinic for help, and when they let me out all Mum said was I should've done better at school, I should've been more like Anothony. And after what I went through at the clinic I couldn't go back, I couldn't do that to my brother again. so instead of cutting I burned myself to feel something, I have crippling anxiety from the trauma of it all. And luckily I met Darren and Quinni who showed me I have meaning and how proud they are of me. I still deal with it every day, so it hurts me to be let down by the people I love, by you"

Sera was in hysterics, tear after tear pouring from her brown eyes, she couldn't look at him scared of what he'd think of her, Spider grabbed her hand lightly rubbing the back of her hand. "My sweet Angel" he lifted her hand pressing kisses all over her knuckles and fingers. "I love you, I'm sorry I'm a screwup but there is nothing I wouldn't do for you." Sera smiled at him wiping away her tears and engulfing him in a tight hug. He held her close to his chest letting her cry into it.

After a few hours of hugs and enjoying their time together Spider left, Seraphine sat in her room reading through a random book. A soft knock interrupted and she looked up to see Ant leaning on the doorway "You told him?" he questioned looking at her. She nodded with a soft smile "Yeah I think he took it well, he didn't run so that's a good sign" he laughed moving to sit next to her, "can you paint my nails?" he asked giving her his best puppy eyes. Seraphine laughed taking the black bottle from his hands and taking his hand beginning her work. they sat in a comfortable silence enjoying the company. Sera finally felt at ease.
