*London's​ POV*

Cooper is usually always with me when I go to the studio, but he asked for a few days off work to propose to his girlfriend.

   I knew that I wasn't able to go unaffected if I came across a trigger, but I'm​ surprised how much Kaiden's unexpected visit scared me. It was like I was back on that basement floor with my arms and legs bound as that child abuser beat me with a worn brown leather belt.

I felt so helpless and small seeing Kaiden for the first time since the incident.

After my parents were called by Aunt Clara who was contacted by the Claremont police department. My parents cut their anniversary vacation short so they could go get me even going as far as cutting off contact with Aunt Clara and anyone​ in the family who dared to disagree. To my other family members it's may seem cruel, considering that Clara has no control over the situation and even the fact that her own child was traumatized physically and mentally, but I know that my parents were trying to do what was best for me. Even though I had a strong bond with my Aunt and cousin (even my uncle at a certain point in time), my parents thought that it was better for my recovery if I never had to encounter or see any physical evidence of that night.

Sometimes I missed Clara and Kaiden, but I knew it would be best if I didn't see them. Not only because I'd be triggered, but because ​I had no idea how it would effect Kaiden. He could have handled it worse than I have or he could've had a better recovery.

So I lay in bed with some coworkers in my living room ready for my awakening. I get up and call my mom to let her know I'm okay. I have to be honest, her worry spikes now that I live away from our family home. I received a text from her saying that her and my dad were coming to stay over for a day, in two days. I yawned stretching out my arms. I looked down to see I was in my shorts and sweatshirt. Whoever carried me here only took off my slippers.

I scratched my head and grabbed my phone before I headed downstairs. I bent forward to get my hair together so I can tie it up in a ponytail. I walked down the stairs to see about ten people in my living room watching the news about me fainting in the studio. I snuck up behind them and whispered in Tamara's ear "Boo!"

She jumped up screaming which made everyone else jump. I raised myself up off the floor from behind the couch. Tamara glared at me through slitted eyes of hatred. Antonio stepped forward.

  "Are you okay? You had a pretty nasty fall..." He asked me tentatively.

I rolled my eyes and groaned with my head thrown back.
"I'm fine!!" The room filled with the sounds of relieved sighs and a small chorus of 'thank gods'.

I grinned at room full of people that I worked with. No one in this room had seen the full extent of my laid back personality. I would have to change that. It was only 5:43 am so I walked to the kitchen and made us all a fresh pot of coffee.

Everyone​ started to file into the kitchen sitting around the island and dinning table.

"Kay I need help shopping for a party tonight, those of you who want to come, make haste I'll be in the car. Those of you who are going to say help yourself​ to the fridge and pantry, but for the love of God go home and get ready for the party it's gonna start at 8:00. Spread the word your each aloud to bring five people, price for admission is a bottle of liquor or some sticky and.....it's gonna be a 90's theme party so the playlist is gonna be 90's music whoever is still here after 1:00 is invited to spend the night. Don't embarrass me. Please ... I know who can't hold their liquor, so be responsible. Tammy Toni and Damien​ come with me and don't let me buy anything ridiculous." I said quickly while putting on my slippers and grabbing my keys. "Bye guys!! Don't go shit in my bathroom please." I shouted into the house before I went into the garage. I hopped into the Tahoe that I hardly ever used. I put the keys in the ignition and plugged the auxiliary​ cord into my phone. Hearing my Wafia playlist, I smiled. The others got into the car just as American Girl started to play I looked up to see Toni in the passenger seat I looked in the back seats to see Tammy and Mien avoiding my glare. They keep trying to hook me up knowing I'm not ready for a relationship. I sighed and started to drive. When I stopped at a red light, Antonio looked at me with a worried expression.
"Are you sure you're​ going to be okay to host a party?" He asked gently. I smiled as the light turned green. I turned to him while keeping my eyes on the road. "Of course, it's crucial to my recovery."
