~~Welcome Back~~

"Morning sunshine, how are we this fine morning." Seth kisses my forehead as I stumbled into the kitchen. I took a seat by the counter and smiled at Seth.

"Are you high?" I heard Dyl joke from behind me. He hugged me from behind and walked over to the fridge.

"Ha ha. No, just feeling good." He said with pure honesty.

"So how are you?" Dyl asked me, leaning on the counter.

"I'm fine." I said.

"Gen. Being my friend for 18 years means I know when you're not okay." He had a serious look on his face.

"Honest I'm fine." I stood up and started walking to the sofa.

"Gen, why won't you be honest?" He started to get slightly agitated.

"You want me to be honest? Okay. So I was just in a car crash with a psycho who held a gun to my face, but no one actually believes me, not even my parents-" I took a breath.

"Gen-" Seth said.

"No. I'm not done. I try to walk but it hurts me so much I just want to cry, but I'm trying to be strong for you guys. I have to live with two amazing people but all I want to do is go back to Lonsgato to be with Nate and hear his voice. Hear him tell me he loves me. Hear him tell me I'm worth something. But I can't! I can't because if I do Zeke said he will kill him! I don't want him dead. I just want him..." I paused.

"Imog-" Dyl tried to talk.

"You want my honesty? That's it. That's how I feel. That's what's going on with me Dylan. I'm sorry I don't want to talk about it much." I collapsed on the sofa as both of them walked up to me.

"Gen... I... We... Didn't know." Dyl said.

"How could you. Like I said. I didn't talk about it..." They sat either side of me.

"Come here!" Seth said hugging me.

"I'm sorry." Dyl said lifting my legs and holding them on his lap.

"Don't apologise. You don't need too." I smiled. We stayed like this for sometime, watching telly but mostly talking.

👣...👣...👣

"So everyone is coming later?" I shouted through the apartment.

"Yeah in about an hour or so!" Dyl shouted back.

"Alright!" I was in mid dancing around my room and mid getting ready.

Id just come out of the shower so I shoved on some sweat pants and a tank top. I dried my hair then twisted and straitened it. I love it when its wavy. Not wanting to 'over-do-it' I just lightly put some eyeliner on then added some mascara. Adding some shiny lip gloss I got changed. Dressing in some black skinny jeans.

👣...👣...👣

"GENNNN!" Haley ran up to me and hugged me tight.

"Ah! Shit. Calm it Hales. Missed you too though." I laughed.

"Sorry. God we need to catch up." She smiled.

"But first?" I heard someone say. Turning around I saw Ray.

"Ray Bae!" I laughed hugging him.

"Long time no seen Sparky." He joked. He'd always call me that.

"Oh har har." I smiled. "I've missed this." I said to him.

"Better of missed me most!" Freya called through the apartment.

"Frey! Corse I have missed you the most!" I laughed and ran to her. Wouldn't exactly call it running.

"Oi... Missing two amazing people here?" I turned and got attacked by Zach and a Blake.

"Aha! Guys. Calm it. I'm only just healing!" I laughed.

"Sorry." Zach said.

"Missed you though." Blake said.

"I know. Right everyone's here?" I asked.

"Finch isn't." Ray said.

"Oh... Um... Yeah, he said he couldn't come..." Seth came in front of me and took over, thank god.

We sat down in the living room. All of us spread over the place. No one stayed in the same place for more than a minuet, and spoke. Everyone was being so amazing. I told them that I was in a crash but didn't say much more. I told them that I couldn't really remember much after I left the Holliday. I was going to tell them... But in my own time.

"So, what exactly are you doing here?" Frey asked me.

"What... Here here?" I asked back.

"Yeah, like... I dunno... Living with the newly wed bro's." She joked.

"They offered a place. And well, who could say no?!" I smiled to Dyl. Couldn't find Seth.

"Were glad your here." Dyl told me.

"Speaking of you. Where's your other half?" I giggled.

"I... Um... Not too sure." He looked around and shrugged.

"Oh... Um... I'm gonna go get a drink. Be back soon." I stood up and walked into the kitchen.

I looked for Seth but couldn't find him... But then I saw him. He was in his room on the phone.

"Bro- bro I know. Chill okay. She's good." He said then said bye and hung up.

"Seth?" I knocked and opened the door fully.

"Oh hey!" He smiled.

"What're you doing in here?" I asked him.

"Just. Your dad... He phoned wanted to make sure you were alright. I said you were pretty shot at so you didn't have to talk to him." He told me. He didn't seam right...

"Oh... Well come on. No fun without you now is it?!" I said.

"No. No it isn't!" He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, carrying me back to everyone else.

👣...👣...👣

"Gen?" I was in mid conversation with Zach about living with Seth and Dyl, but Frey looked worried.

"Hey, sorry Zach... What's up?" I asked her.

"Well... I wasn't going to ask... But..." She paused.

"What're you all talking about?" Ray and Blake came over with Haley.

"Um... Nothing..." Freya said.

"No, you were going to ask me something?" I said to her.

"It's alright..." She hesitated. Now everyone was listening.

"Frey... What's wrong. Just ask..." I said.

"Um... Where's Nate? What happened to him?" She said.

"Uh-" I stared but was cut off.

"I was going to ask the same but... Did you two get into a fight?" Haley asked.

"Did he hurt you?!" Blake added.

"No!" I shouted. Bringing Dyl and Seth's attention to me, I knew I needed to tell them.

"The... Um... T-the truth is... Guys... Nate is... Is-" I was cut off by the door closing.

"Nate is gone... He left Gen. She is back with me." Zeke stood as we all turned around to him.
