Her knees buckled, she fell to the ground. She had been waking for only a few minutes, but she was exhausted. Mara didn't know what the time was or where she was going to go, but she knew she had to go home.
She came to a familiar street with familiar houses. She knew where she was, but dread had settled in her stomach, even more so than before.Mara would have to face her family and maybe even her friends. The thought of that scared her even more than when she first left to seek peace and quiet.
Up she walks the bone white stairs, passes the perfectly manicured plants her mother had always been tending to, and unlocked the door. Fear rushes at her as she enters. The eyes of Kaylee, Olivia, Jay, Sawyer, her parents, Dakota, and lastly Bennett. Their eyes show relief, but she didn't have time to look at everybody else. Mara had locked gazes with Bennett. In his eyes, worry and regret showed more than any emotion. She slowly started to lose sight of those eyes and she only saw darkness. The malnourishment had finally caught up with her.

She woke up to the feeling of safety and comfort, but she noticed that both her hands were heavy. She slowly opens her eyes, the soft light from her room window peaked through her resting eyelashes. She sees the worriless faces of Olivia, Jay, her parents, and Bennett. She smiles, these are my true friends, they actually care. Bennett shifts at the sudden soft movement of the had her so dearly held. His light green eyes showed through his Amber lashes. His lifts his head, eyes shifting to the soft light. He freezes, they make eye contact. His eyes soften and a feeling of relief washed over him. The next thing you know, Mara is in his arms. Her eyes, wide with shock, well with tears and she returns the much needed hug. The commotion had waken the others and soon a few more pair of arms joined them in celebration of love.
"I am sorry, so sorry," Mara apologizes. Her wall broke when she touched Bennett.
" I should be the one apologizing," He whispers into her head, proceeding with a kiss to the forehead. They needed this, this resolved the issues they were to scared to speak of. They didn't need words to explain what they were feeling they use simply had to feel them and the other would recieve them from the unacknowledged bond that they shared. They poured their hearts and souls into that bond.
"I broke up with her," Bennett breaks the silence. This makes Mara freeze.
"I didn't like her, I only agreed because I needed a distraction," At this point, everyone cleared the room
