Trigger Warnings

Before this chapter starts, I would like to say these next few chapters (that are based around this one, character arcs go a long way) arent for the faint of heart and are for those who are actively struggling to know they arent alone. I have my own resonation with these chapters and wrote this to help me heal with certain situations. You are not alone.

These are the warnings, proceed with caution.

----------------
-SA Mentions (Sexual Assault)
-Implied Attempted Rape
-Phobia of Throwing Up
-Eating Disorders
-Panic Attacks

"Where did you go? It took you like fifteen minutes to get home." Ganymede said turning his watch over, it was quite old. One of Jupiter's old mementos he had from college he decided to pass over to Ganymede since it was waterproof and busted. Easy for Ganymede to keep track of the time when he was running laps, without having anything expensive.

"I told you I just had to ask Makemake something, it's nothing to worry about." Europa crossed her arms, she had her bag slipped on her shoulder. It wasn't fully on her back, just slouching onto her side. She spoke to Ganymede in a little bit of a harsh tone, which was normal in the morning but unexpected to be aimed at him.

"The bus will be here soon! I have something to go to this afternoon so if you miss it I won't drive you." Jupiter said while turning his head. Europa noticed an apron around his body. It said something she couldn't read. Though, if they missed the bus she couldn't rely on Jupiter to get her home in the afternoon.

"Okay, Jupiter!" Europa said, responding back to him. Her eyes traced her phone, seeing the latest news about stars and black holes. There is nothing about Moons despite the most recent outbreak of illnesses affecting them. Ganymede placed his hand on her shoulder, gripping slightly. Europa turned, her eyes deeply looking at him in a sort of 'What?' expression. She held her tongue, she couldn't curse at him.

"Are you sure you are okay Europa?" IO looked at her with quite a stare. He was always known for wanting to double-check things. She sighed once more, before pressing on about being okay. Then she thought of a very good idea, an excuse. No one would question her if it was about a friend of hers right? Maybe Callisto but she was busy making herself coffee. Like always that's what she did before the bus came. Europa could see her, yawning away while in the dark side room, pressing buttons on a machine until a successful sound was heard.

"I'm okay, IO. Just something came up with Titania." Europa smiled an innocent-like smile. IO nodded, and Ganymede groaned. Europa knew he preferred to be with her on the bus ride to and from school, Europa knew what question was going to happen next. Ganymede to her, was a book she read over and over already. Though she always loved how he would treat her, he opened his mouth.

"Will you sit with her today?"

Bingo. Europa put her hands into her hoodie, she never wore one usually but since it was a partly chilly day, she thought it would look cute. A hoodie, with some sweatpants that draped over her boots. Nothing too flashy like how she normally wore. She looked up at him, his face a bit weary wanting an answer. She sometimes believed Ganymede would be a lost puppy without her. Callisto walked over, a thermos in hand. She was blowing on her coffee looking at them both a bit confused.

"I will, hopefully, I can get some answers. Are you three fine by yourself?" Europa gestured to them, Ganymede grunted but complied. Callisto nodded, clearly not a part of the conversation but she was always alone on the bus anyway. Unless IO would sit next to her, but usually he sat with Moon.

"We aren't children. Go hang out with Titania, I'll keep an eye on IO." Ganymede pushed the front door open, the bus would always stop right at their house since they had to specifically ask the high school to modify it. Jupiter didn't like complaining to the school, but he needed to since he couldn't drive to the school every day, he had other jobs to do. Which mostly included the Earth and the asteroids that went astray. Every now and then they would miss the bus, but that's because of the tight schedule.
