:=:Your POV:=:

I woke up the next morning to the smell of waffles and chocolate.

"Don't you dare eat that, the more you eat the more you work off."

I nodded at the voice, even though I couldn't see her. She was there. She had a picture perfect body, and she looked like me. She had the face, hair and eyes.

"I'm trying..." I muttered.

I walked downstairs to see Laurence, "Eat up, we leave for school soon."

I grabbed a plate, despite was Ana told me, and ate a little. It wouldn't hurt me.

I don't think...

Laurence smiled at me, he was one of my best guy friends. He cared about me and I don't know what I'd do without him or Lyla. Cadenza too of course.

After eating, we got our stuff together and started walking. We ended up meeting with Garroth and Vlyad.

"I saw mom and dad yesterday," I said.
"Oh? What'd they said?" Vlyad asked.
"Meetings, they gave me a ride so I didn't have to walk in the snow," I explained.
"Yeah... sorry about that, tonight we'll be home so you don't have to go to Laurence's house... Unless you want to," Garroth said.
"I'm fine with it. You're like a little sister to me," Laurence smiled.

I smiled, it was genuine.

"Thank you Laurence..." I muttered.

:=:Laurence's POV:=:

"Thank you Laurence..." she muttered.

I looked at Garroth and Vlyad, they didn't even notice that she wasn't smiling. Irene! They piss me off so much! How can they not see how sick she is? How can they not see the scars, the bones, the numbness?

I grabbed her hand and smiled at her, she had small tears in her eyes as she looked up at me.
"Everything will be okay... Just give it time," I whispered.

She nodded, whipping the tears away. As we came up on the school, (Y/n) and Lyla went somewhere, while I pulled Garroth and Vlyad aside. I didn't have a clue where Zane was because I'd yell at him too.

"What is wrong you two?" I glared.
"Whoa, what's going on buddy?" Garroth asked.
"How do you not see the pain (Y/n), your sister, is going through? Do you not see the scars? The bones? When I look in her eyes, they're broken. Because she doesn't have people who care for her," I was genuinely upset.
Garroth and Vlyad both went quiet, I got so frustrated, "Wow, I didn't know you two were that stupid to not see what she's going through!"

Garroth stopped me, "We do see it Laurence... We see all of it. Hell, I walked in on her poking at her hip bone... My parents already know, we don't know what to do. We can't force her to do anything."
"That's the problem. You guys aren't doing anything! She is so alone, you exclude her from all family shit, you send her over to my house when you don't wanna deal with her," I glared at both of them, "That's not family. You're treating her like she's a charity case! You might as well let her move in with Lyla, Cadenza and myself. We're more of a family then you guys..."

I walked away to let them think, they need to figure out what they want. Because she isn't a charity case... She's (Y/n).

:=:Your POV:=:

I sat in the bathroom with Lyla, she covered my scars with her special foundation.
I pulled my sleeves down and she smiled at me, "Thank you..."

"It's no problem! We'll have to redo it during lunch," She was cut off by the bell, "What class is 1st?"
"Math..." I said.
We both sighed, "Skipping."

We laughed a bit and exited the bathroom. Sneaking out the back exit, but being met by The Shadow Knights.

"Well, if it isn't the none related sisters, or... the girl who's related to no one," Gene smirked.
"If it isn't Gene, the guy who was named after something you wear," I glared.
"Careful skinny, might break your bones if you keep it up," Sasha came out and got in my face.
I smiled at her and got in her face, "Do it."

Gene grabbed Sasha's shoulder and pulled her back, "Now now, no need to be hostile."
"Listen to your little boyfriend Sasha, I'll bash in your skull if you touch (Y/n)," Lyla warned.
"Why you!" Sasha charged at Lyla but I pushed her back into Gene.
"Watch it!" I glared, "I can still kick your ass like I did last time."

Sasha huffed and stood behind Gene, I looked up at him and he looked down at me. Smirking.

"You're cute," he flicked his finger under my chin.
"You're an ass," I glared.

Gene moved out of my way and let Lyla and I pass. I smirked and walked past him, but before I could walk any further, I was pushed down by someone.
I turned about ready to punch Sasha, but it wasn't her... It was Zane.

"Zane..." I glared.
"Skipping I see, how would mom and dad feel about that?" He breathed heavily.
"Why would they care?" I hissed.

I walked away with Lyla while Zane just watched... He doesn't care... He never has...
