Hi everyone!! Thanks to everyone who comments and likes! Much love to you all!

Enjoy ❤️

I wake up thinking I had gone to heaven but I was just blinded by hospital lights.

I look around and see several people asleep in my room. My mom , Night, Damian, Jackie, and Megan. I smile.

Balloons and stuffed animals filled my room along with cards and gifts I was amazed. I was so lucky that I was so loved. I felt kinda bad that they had to worry like that.

I tried to move but my body was exhausted. I scanned the room and again and saw someone looking at me with wide eyes.

"Rogue." Damian whispered.

He stood up and walked with stealth. I don't think that I would have known he was walking if my eyes were closed.

He came and brushed a stray curl out of my face.

"Did they...you know..." he said barely above a whisper.

I shook my head and his face looked relieved.

He rested his head above mine and smiled.

" I couldn't keep my promise." He said angrily.

"You saved me." I said lowly.

"No...I found you after you saved yourself." He said.

I smiled at him then closed my eyes letting a long awaited peaceful sleep take over me.

In the next couple of days I got my strength back. The bullet wound on my harm was healing up nicely.

It was the weekend and I was going to start school again on Wednesday. Me and Damian were taking a walk to the women's shelter to talk to some of the girls that were with me when I got kidnapped to see if they knew where Tori is.

We signed in and requested to see Charlie. She was good friends with Tori and I want to find her so she can get Fiona out of foster care.

We make our way to a room full women and see them doing a whole bunch of activities like playing cards watching tv braiding each other's hair and even crocheting.

I see Charlie sitting in a chair crocheting. I make my way to her and and take a seat across from her while Damian stands next to me.

She looks up and smiles.

"Hey kid." He whispered.

"Hey Charlie. How have you been?" I ask.

"A lot better than before. It feels good to finally sleep at night than to work the streets." She says looking down at her hands.

"That's good." I say sincerely.

"Whatcha need kid." She says sluggishly.

"Do you know where Tori is?" I ask slowly.

She freezes up and looks at me like I just killed someone. The atmosphere in the room gets heavy.

"Kid...Milo took Tori." She says steadily.

"Who is Milo, and why did he take Tori." I say in a panic.
