(Crystal)
After we blew the building sky high, it was crawling with news reporters. Melanie arrived at the curb in her broken down Ford right on time. I had my arm around Scott's neck as he helped me to the truck. I limped with Scott's arm around my rib cage, while Adrian and Hugh followed behind. My hands throbbed, but they weren't near as black as they were.
"Jeez, you all look like you were put through the ringer," she called, leaning over to open the door. Scott slid in and turned to help me, with Adrian boosting me from behind. I gingerly sat next to Scott on sore muscles and weak bones.
"We were, and Crystal visited the afterlife," Adrian got in next to me. I glared at him, while Scott sighed. Melanie's face blanched with fear.
"What?" she exclaimed, her face white.
"Adrian, were you not present when we had that conversation about breaking it to her easy?" Scott ran a hand down his tired face.
"Oh, that's what you were talking about? Yea, I totally tuned that out," Adrian snorted.
Scott moved to hit him on the head, but I stopped him. "Stop messing around. I have been experimented on, tortured, and died! So, I'm not in the mood. Hugh, get in the truck before reporters start sniffing around over here."
"Listen," he paused as he shut the door. "I have to check on something, but I'll see you guys later, okay?"
"Yea, but stay out of trouble," Scott warned him.
"Got it," Hugh smiled as he jogged off.
"Let's go home," I sighed leaning on Scott's shoulder. Home. I almost didn't know what a home was anymore, but I knew it was a place where you don't have to worry about being kidnapped or killed. A home. After all these years of fighting for my life and on the run. A home with a loving aunt, a big and little brother, and of course, Scott McCall, the boy who taught me to love again.
