*Mackenzie's POV*

Today was the day I finally got to go home. Home. Even the word excited me. "Ready?" David asked me. He was the guard that I was teaching how to play guitar to. I nodded. "Haven't seen you smile since those guys left." He said, shaking his head. I stared at the door, waiting for him to take the cuffs off of me. Instead, he grabbed my arm right above my elbow and walked forward, opening the door and walking out. I saw the guys immediately, all stood up and leaned against JJ's Lamborghini. I smiled. "There's your smile again." David said as we kept walking. The guys stood up straight once we got closer. "Hey guys." I said, looking at all of them before my eyes met Simon's, who was closest to me, right in front of me. "Hello gentlemen." David said behind me. I heard the sound of his keys and my smile widened. He turned me more so he could unlock my cuffs. Once I was free, my hands went instantly around my wrists, examining the red lines the cuffs left on me. Then, I turned back towards Simon and wrapped my arms around his neck. His arms slithered around my waist. Then, more arms were around us until it was a big group hug. "I've missed you guys so much." I whispered, tightening my grip. All seven of them seemed to move impossibly closer. I giggled, pulling away from Simon slightly. He looked down at me, but never let go. I didn't want him to. Simon, in spite of all we've been through, has been one of the toughest ones to miss. Maybe I'm still in love with him. I smiled again, resting my head back on his shoulder. One by one, everyone pulled away completely. I turned around to say goodbye to David, but he was no where in sight. "What do you want to do now?" Tobi asked. I wrapped my arms quickly around his neck. He chuckled before hugging back. I gave them each their individual hugs before standing in front of them, looking at them, and smiling. "Food. Shower. Bed." I said, looking around the parking lot. "Sounds good. Nandos?" JJ asked, throwing his arm around my shoulders as he opened the passenger door to his car, making a motion with his hand for me to go in. "Of course." I smiled. There is no place like home. Even we weren't at the house yet. Home isn't a place, it's a feeling.

*Simon's POV*

     It's amazing having her back. To see her laughing and joking. She was beside me in the passenger seat, singing along with the radio that was blaring. I looked back at the road, a smile glued to my face. As long as she was around I was smiling. I turned the radio down and she looked at me. If only looks could kill. "So, did you get any new tattoos?" I asked. She smiled, looking down at her tattoos on her fingers and the one on her wrist. I glanced back up at the road. "If you have to look, then you shouldn't be allowed to have tattoos." Vik said from the backseat. She looked back at him. "Quiet, peasant." She said jokingly. "OI! She rides in the front seat one time and gets cocky!" Josh said, laughing. She giggled. "To answer your question, Simon, no. I didn't do anything. I literally just worked out and slept and ate. I didn't look at anyone. I didn't talk to anyone. I don't even think half of the people knew I was there." She said, her voice getting quieter as she spoke. "What about that girl you punched?" I asked, turning on my blinker and watching the road carefully. "She deserved it. And we were alone. I shared a cell with this one girl who would sit there and talk to me while I was just laying down and staring at the ceiling. She would never shut up. But she had some damn good stories. Like this one time-" "SIMON!"
