I forced Bronx to close his eyes while he undressed me and placed me in the bath. He sat against it with his back towards me as I soaked in the tub. When he spoke to me I merely replied with yes and no.

"Will you ever forgive me?" he softly muttered after a moment of silence.

"Maybe." I chose my words carefully as he slowly turned around. I brought my knees painfully to my chest.

"I truly didn't mean to hurt you." he stared into my eyes, I nodded slowly before he rested he head on the edge of the bath. I looked down at the water before he placed his hand in, moving it around in the water.

"Bronx..." I sternly said as he moved his fingers gently up my leg. I slapped his hand away before looking away.

"I can take care of myself." Bronx stood up and left the bathroom to leave me to get out of the bath and change. It was a struggle to get downstairs to see the others but they were all ready to go off to school. Cole wrapped a blanket around me before motioning the others out to the car. Silence lingered throughout the house when I decided to catch up on the work I had missed from school. The day couldn't get any worse when Coles dad decided to turn up. He frowned at me on sight before folding his arms.

"What you did last night was stupid, you could of gotten others killed." he lectured me yet I didn't plan on paying any attention to him anytime soon. He soon caught on to what I was doing and stormed off into the kitchen. I was relieved when the others got home at 2:05, Frosty and Serena helped Cole sit down on the couch before his dad came in to check on him. Bronx sulked around the house not wanting to talk to me, wasn't like I was going to anyways. The boys once again had a secret meeting that we couldn't be apart of so Serena, Sky and I went to the barn. I was still weak and was no way in hell I would be able to train with them.

"You missed so much today, Bronx went straight up to Dana's boyfriend and told him everything that happened and now the whole school knows what happened. She was crying all day but serves her right." Sky exclaimed while on the treadmill. I bit my lip slightly and looked at my hands.

"Am I doing the right thing? Bronx saved me yet..." I sighed before finishing my sentence.

"It was a Dick move but on both accounts. You did dance with Gavin and he did dance with Dana but the fact that you walked out pissed, definitely more than friends and bitch if you deny it I'll punch you like Serena punched Dana last night." Sky threw a towel at me before Frosty came in to see her. I got up and left the barn to go back inside; the house was quiet once again, Cole looked over at me and smiled.

"Some girl invited all of us to a masked party and Bronx doesn't want to go if your not." he reached over for the remote to change the channel on the TV.

"What's this party for anyways?" I asked taking a seat beside him. He flicked through the channels before finally settling on one.

"It's nearly Halloween, everyone has to have a mask or they don't get in." Frosty called out from the back door, bringing Sky into the room. They held hands before dragging her upstairs to do god only knows what. Bronx had come down the stairs as Serena came back inside to prepare dinner for later.

"Bronx, You should come sit with us and I can enlighten you in some bee movie quotes." Cole called out to him but he just walked out the door towards the barn. I huffed and rose to my feet, the room spun for a moment before I regained my balance. Bronx punched at the punching bag when I walked into the barn. I made a straight line for him but he didn't make eye contact with me.

"I didn't get a chance to thank you before." he ignored me when I spoke but I pulled the punching bag back and swung it forward. It hit him in the chest making him stumble back, I managed to get in front of the punching bag before he could go back to it.
