AN: So a lot has happened to me and my life and the people in it since the last update, I did get my computer back from Geek Squad but the stress and family problems and health...well i think it warranted a break. I wanted to take a longer one, but this is my escape so I came back. The only reason I apologize so much is for my regulars...and myself.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy. I just had my last final exam for college...two years down, two to go...so I should be here more often and buckle up please for when I release my new stories...

Love, Lina

No One's POV

"Hey, you and Mona only? Where are the girls," Ezra asked as soon as he opened the door.

Toby was pacing back and forth with his arms folded across his chest and only looked up when he heard that Emily and Alison weren't there.

"You left them? Where are they," he asked worriedly.

"Calm down," Caleb tried, "they're fine."

"Okay, can you say more? Why didn't they come with you?"

Caleb pulled off his boots and ran his hands through his hair before taking a deep breath, "they're outside, about half a mile up the hillside. Emily had some sort of breakdown, she was really freaked out and all she wanted was Ali."

"Yeah, and she was with me, they had a sort of fight in the car, and so soon as we got here, Em took off and Caleb followed. When Emily started to panic, Caleb called, I told Ali and Ali ran to Em."

"So that's where you left them? Alone? In the woods?" Toby walked closer to them and projected his voice a little louder.

"Calm down Toby," Caleb said, "they're fine. Emily had some sort of nightmare come back, or memory. Alison was calming her down. Plus, it took 20 minutes for us to walk back and find the room, so I'm sure they're on their way now."

"I still don't think it was smart to leave them." Ezra looked hard at Caleb, like he did something wrong.

"Hey, don't get on him," Mona defended, "we're all doing our best and those two just needed to be alone. Think about it, when was the last time that that happened for them? We need to just give them space right now. Look, if they're not back in....15 minutes, we'll go and get them."

"Yeah," Caleb continued on his own, "we've been skirting around them and telling them how to feel, how the other must feel. I don't think they've had a chance to figure it out without all of us being around. Alison surely couldn't have done it in the hospital, Em's health wasn't even that stable really."

Ezra pursed his lips and Toby dropped his head, they knew Caleb was right.

"10 minutes," Toby said finally, "and not a second later."

"Deal."

Like Caleb said, he was sure the girls would come back soon. And to the second on Toby's watch, they came back in 8 minutes and 53 seconds.

"Oh, thank God," Caleb sighed relieved, "Officer Toby over here was going to unleash the hounds and track you down."

Alison smiled and pulled on Emily's hand so they were standing side by side in the doorway.

Everyone's eyes dropped to their hands, clasping each other's, interlocked fingers and they all smiled knowingly.

"We're fine," Ali confirmed.
