"Everything is going to be alright. Maybe not today, but eventually."

I felt something wet shoot at me and I shot up. I screamed as I was engulfed in water and opened my eyes, seeing that I was in water. I swam up and heard laughter.

"What the #$^*?" I screamed and they doubled over laughing. I smirked and got out of the pool and opened my arms. "Who wants a hug?"

All of their eyes widened and Zane yelled, "Every man for himself!" and pushed Heath and Asher towards me.

I laughed and quickly wrapped my arms around the two, them screaming in protest.

I leaned to the side and fell into the pool, them screaming louder as we came closer to the water. Zane was laughing and I quickly swam out of the pool, Heath and Asher behind me. We started running after Zane. He didn't notice until it was too late and he was being pushed into the pool.

He took a big gulp of air as he came up. He sighed and looked at me with big eyes, "I deserve that don't I?"

"Of course you do!" I said, clapping and started walking towards the glass door.

I opened the door and walked in, not caring if water got everywhere.

Water dries.

I was fidgeting and I tried to find something to do.

"Maybe I can swim?" I mumbled to myself and nodded, trying to ignore my anxiety for a little while longer. I walked up the stairs and walked into my room. I opened my closet and saw a table next to the door with some drawers. I opened the first one and saw a lot of swim trunks. Most of them were black. I shrugged and grabbed the first one and put it on. There was a mirror on the door and I saw that the trunks almost came to my knee but not quite.

I smiled and started walking to the pool. Out my room, down the stairs, out the door. Voila! You have reached your destination.

Okay, enough GPS Angel.

I jumped into the pool, laughing happily. I stayed underwater just staring at the sky and then finally decided to come up. I saw that none of the boys were outside and I shrugged, starting to swim around the pool.

I walked into the house, looking around and saw that it was empty. I raised an eyebrow as I head nails clicking on the floor. I frowned and a dog poked its head around the corner.

"Aww," I said, drawing it out and I sat down, making grabby hands at it.

It walked over to me and I started petting it. There was a couch next to me and a dog bed next to it, with a lot of toys. It walked over to the dog bed and laid down on it, leaving a big space on the mat. It stared at me quizzically and got up, nudging me and walking back. I got up and walked towards it sitting on the bed. It puts its head on my lap and I started stroking it.

I looked at the name tag on her collar and saw the name, 'Aphrodite' and a phone number, which I'm assuming was Leo's.

I sat back on the couch and started dozing off.

§

I was awoken by barking and growling, I quickly sat up and saw Aphrodite barking, growling and snapping at thin air, seeming to be protecting me from something. I saw all of the guys recording me an Aphrodite and I started at them confused.

I got up and slowly walked over to the guys. I have them all a question looking but they looked just as confused as me.

She didn't stop barking and I walked up her, grabbing her and pulling her up. She kept on growling but didn't try and get out of my grasp.
