Thorn

"She's still not awake?" Dallas asks.

I look at him. "She's sleeping"

Ethan makes and O shape with his lips. "Oooooh you guys did the dirty again"

I roll my eyes and Alice ooo's.

"Right" Dallas walks off.

I stomp and get in front of him. "What the fuck is your problem Dallas? You've been like this since yesterday and it's pissing me the FUCK OFF!" I stomp again.

"Alright alright" dad separates us.

"What are you guys fighting about now?" mom yawns.

"Nothing" Dallas walks off.

I roll my eyes and Hurricane walks down the stairs... in nothing but my t-shirt.

My blood begins to boil. "Go back upstairs and change" I snap.

She looks at me. "But I have nothing else to wear"

"I DONT CARE! GO. CHANGE!" I shout and she rushes up the stairs.

Everyone drops their jaws. "Thorn!" dad snaps.

"Wouldn't you be the same if mom came down in nothing but a long shirt in front of everyone?" I ask him and he gets quiet. "Thought so"

Dallas steps up. "Just cause you're mad at me doesn't mean you get mad at Whisper"

I grab his neck and everyone jumps on me. "KEEP TELLING ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE" I spit.

"GET OFF!" dad shouts and pulls me off, throwing me on the guys. "I'm sorry. I had to get you off somehow!" he says.

I stand up and glare at Dallas. "Dallas let's go hang out somewhere, let Thorn cool off" Ethan says and drags dallas out of the house.

I sigh and dad shakes his head. "You gotta control your temper bud"

"Dallas is hitting on my girlfriend!" I say.

"He's just being kind, Thorn" mom says softly.

I roll my eyes and stomp upstairs, into my room to see Hurricane frowning while she looks at herself in the mirror, wearing her old clothes.

I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her. "I'm sorry..." she winces.

I shake my head and kiss her temple. "No I'm sorry, I had a... rough start to the morning. Here," I back up and grab some sweatpants and a shirt, "wear this. You'll be warm"

She smiles and runs her hand across under my chin before changing in my clothes. "I heard you shouting... is everything okay?" she asks.

I nod. "Yea, don't worry about anything"

"Okay..." she turns around. "I gotta go home in a bit"

"Damnit" I grunt.

"I know I know, I don't wanna leave either" she says. "I have to feed Alec, check in on my mom, and all of that"
