From Ashes We Rise

Chapter Nine

|| A/N if you have any sort of being weirded out or getting angry and or really sad about assault and harassment I suggest skimming through this chapter cause there's a part where that takes place. Just a heads up, enjoy. ||

The suns rays were shining into the girls bedroom. Gemma turned in her bed just enough to be blinded by the sun. She attempted to roll back around and face away from the light but Gemma ended up making herself into a blanket burrito and rolling herself right off the bed causing a loud thump; While earning a small yelp as well. Margaret woke up from hearing the yelp and thud and sloppily grabbed a pillow she had been resting her head on. She stood up on her bed, blanket still half on her face with her hair everywhere.

"Get out intruder!" Margaret groggily attempted yelling still not able to see.

"Margaret calm yourself." Gemma says getting out of her blanket burrito form. She walks over to Margaret and pulls the blanket off her body so Margaret can see.

"Ah!! The intruder... They're gone!!" Margaret yells looking at the empty bedroom then seeing Gemma.

"Are you hurt? Do you need medical attention!?" Margaret quickly asks getting down to Gemma's level and gabbing her face worriedly.

Gemma shoves Margaret's hands off her face.

"I'm fine, you worry for no reason. I just fell off my bed, no biggie." She says waving Margaret off. She then walks over to her dresser opening a drawer.

"We should get dressed and head downstairs anyways, it's already 10:50." Margaret nods and goes to her own dresser.

Gemma's outfit consists of black jeans, a maroon tank top that's placed under her buttoned up red flannel, brown combat boots, and a simple friendship bracelet Margaret made her when they were eleven. Gemma brushed her hair quickly and headed to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

While Gemma was in the bathroom Margaret got changed into a pair of blue high wasted jeans with small rips on the thighs, a black sweater that says "Okay, but first coffee" and a pair of Black combat boots. Margaret also brushes her hair then walks to the bathroom door knocking.

"Come in." Gemma says and Margaret enters the bathroom grabbing her bag of newly bought make up. Gemma finishes her morning routine, all natural, no make up. She was ready for the day.

"I'm gonna head downstairs, kay?" Margaret nods and starts to brush her teeth.

Around 20 minutes later Margaret walks down stairs to be greeted by William and Gemma.

"All that time in the bathroom and all you did was your eyes?" Gemma asks.

"Eyeliner is tricky." Margaret shrugs and sits next to them on the living room couch. All she had done was apply mascara, nude eye shadow, eyeliner. Gemma thought it suited her though.

"Are you hungry?" William asks Margaret. Gemma had already ate when she went downstairs.

"Kind of.. but I'm not hungry for a big meal. Do you have any cereal?" She asks. William nods and starts to walk towards the kitchen reaching into the cupboards taking out a box of cereal while Margaret checks which cupboard has the bowls.

"Found them." Margaret says. Gemma laughs quietly.

After Margaret finishes her cereal Gemma suggests they go to the park they saw the first time William drove them to their new home. William agrees to let them go explore, he says he has to run some errands for his work and that he'll be back around dinner time.
