  "C'mon! You're so lame!" 

  Your upperclassmen towered above you, ridiculing the pathetic mess on the ground that was you. 

  Another jab landed on your stomach, sending searing pain through your insides. 

  "G-get off me!" You yelled, attempting to get up. 

  "Tch, Know your place, idiot!" A foot landed on your back, forcing you back to the dust. 

  You knew the voice belonged to your sister. Next to her was your brother, and surrounding them were various upperclassmen. 

  You laid helplessly, wincing at the pain coursing through your body. You felt a stream of blood reach your lips. 

  "...Why..." You felt the tears welling.

  "Aw, you need our mommy and daddy to come help you? Hell, they'll probably praise us for what we're doing." Your sister made another rude remark. "You worthless sister."

  You shot up, free from the terrible nightmare. You sighed, realizing it wasn't reality. You looked over at the living room clock.

  It was 3:24 in the morning. You laid back down, thinking about the dream you had. 

  That's the question, isn't it. Why? 

  You rolled to one side, trying to shake the thought. 

  It doesn't matter anymore. It's in the past.

  You moved uncomfortably on the living room sofa. This thing really isn't meant for sleeping. You looked over at the bedroom door.

  I really shouldn't, but I don't see the harm in it... 

  You climbed into the right side of the bed. Even though Byakuya had gotten the bed to himself, he still slept on one side, like the other was reserved for you or something. 

  You pulled the sheets up and fell asleep.

  "...awake.......hey...." You heard someone speaking. 

  "C'mon." You looked up at Byakuya, already fully dressed. "How heavy of a sleeper are you? Seriously..." 

  You sat up. "What's the time?" You yawned.

  "8 in the morning."

  "Ugh..." You grumbled. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" 

  "We're on vacation. There's no need to set times and schedules." 

   "Mmhmm..." You got out of the bed, heading to the closet where you left your suitcase.

  After breakfast, you were greeted by another new car,  a red sports car. 

  In case I forgot, Byakuya's rich. 

  "When did you get the time to rent a second car?" You sat in the back with Byakuya. 

  "In my room, last night." 

  "You really don't have to..." 

  "It's no trouble."
