The system

Beca eyes widen at the sight of the house. The house is extremely big! The brunette suddenly remembers that some people actually live the luxury life.

"Welcome home,"Dories warmly smiles. Beca grip her suitcase as she follows inside the house. She didn't see it coming, but a huge husky tackles her down, licking her face and she should be mad but this dog is so cute!

"Snow! Down girl,"Emily tugs the dog's collar.
She stands up once the dog was off her, dusting herself from the fall."Sorry about that, snow loves people!"Beca glance at the dog then back at Emily."Let me show you your room."

Beca curiously follow Emily up the stairs. Her room?

Emily takes a left turn into a bedroom, a large bedroom. The walls were blank; naked from any decorate. It's spacious since there just a bed and a small desk."It may seem bland but you can put posters and other stuff."Beca notice how Emily fidgets her fingers.

"Uh... Thanks, Emily."Beca lift her suitcase on the bed."May I be alone please?"

"Oh yeah! Of course, dinner will be ready soon."With that said, the younger girl head downstairs. Beca unzip her suitcase and place her stuff sheep safety on her bed.

She stares at the object.

'I'm sick and tired of your crying, Beca!'

Beca shook her head, attempting to get that sudden flashback away from her mind.

"Getting comfortable?"Beca glance at the door way to see Marcy smiling warmly. The brunette nod her head."Do you need help placing your clothes away?"

"Usually I don't stay that long that I need to unpack."

With sad eyes,"Dear, they're not going to return you. You're part of our family and you're not going to leave."Marcy makes her way towards Beca."Now let me help you unpack."

And the two did unpack.

For Beca, it been a long time since she unpacked her suitcase.

Beca hesitantly grabs the spoon and place it inside the soup. She look up to Emily then to Marcy and Dories.

"Why aren't you eating?"Dories ask,"Are you feeling sick?"

Beca shook her head,"No. It's just.... I haven't sat in a family table in so long."She looks up at Emily then back at the soup. She brings the spoon to her mouth, and Holy shit... The soup is fucking delicious. "Holy crap! Mrs. Junk, your soup is amazing!"

"Thank you Beca,"Dories Jab her husband,"See someone appreciate my soup."The table chuckle as Adam tries to explain how delicious the soup is. Beca feels strange, she never had a family dinner like this... She watch as Emily have conversation between her mother then to father and then to her grandmother, and Beca feels very comfortable and safe, that feeling is very uncomfortable.

Once dinner was over, Beca head up the stairs and into her room. It's odd for Beca that she has her own room.

"Hey Beca, want to do something?"Emily ask warmly.

This girl is too sweet- shaking her, refusing to get close to this temporary family,"Going to sleep- so yeah."Emily oh'd, said her goodnight and shut the door on her way out. Yeah, it's a bit mean for her, but Beca cannot get close to this family- they're going to return her sooner or later.... They always do.

Beca awoke screaming from her terrifying nightmare. Her whole body soak in sweat.
She grips her sheep as her eyes bounce from the dark corners of her room. Her room door opens and for a second she thought it was him, but instead, Emily pops her head in.

"Is everything okay? I heard screaming."

Beca swallow the lump in her throat,"Yeah... I just had a nightmare."She's shaking, and she hates how weak she feels.

'You're pathetic.'

'Look at you crying like your bitch of a mother!'

Beca feels her throat tighten, and the walls are suddenly closing.... She can't breathe.

'She's dead because of you!'

"Beca?"Emily rush to her side,"Oh crap you're having an panic attack."Beca clench the collar of her shirt.

'It should have been you instead!'

Emily swiftly takes the grey shirt off of Beca. With the little knowledge of Panic attacks from health class, Emily pull off the covers of Beca. "Beca, I want you to listen to the sound of my voice,"The brunette nod,"Everything is okay, I want you to breathe in and exhale, slowly."Beca listen, slowly inhaling and exhaling.

'You're nothing,'

"Can I rub your back?"Emily ask. The brunette's response is a nod. The younger girl rub small circles on her back, continuing to tell Beca to breath. 

'You are dead to me.'

Once Beca calm down, she wrap her arms around Emily and weep."Beca, what's wrong?"

The brunette shook her head, hugging Emily tighter,"Can you just please stay here hugging me for awhile."And they stay there in silence until the weeping girl spoke."I-I need to tell you,"

And Emily listen, she listen to the tragedy of how and why she was in foster homes. The two talk, enjoying each other company until they no longer can stay awake.

Dories found the two girls sleeping with arms wrap around each other.
