Sunstreaker parked in front of the house. 'Thank you for dropping me off.' I unbuckled. 'You're not going to ask me to come in?' He asked. I glanced at him. 'I'll be fine, okay? Just... go back to base.' I hopped out,— tripping over my own feet and collapsed on the ground. 'Yeah, right. How am I going to be sure you're okay when I leave?' He asked, walking over to the other side and hoisted me up. 'You're woozy and I am not leaving. Come on.' I wanted to protest, but nothing came out of my mouth. He grabbed the key from my pocket and opened the door. 'Sunstreaker...' he slammed the door shut.' yeah?'

I sighed. I can't argue with him. I tried. I tried a lot of times and it never worked. Sunny is too stubborn and arrogant. He always gets what he wants and I hate it deeply. I just felt so tired. I could probably sleep all day but I didn't want to have nightmares and wake up screaming again,— not with Sunstreaker around. He sat me down in a chair and crouched down in front of me. 'I am your boss. I make the decisions and I am not leaving. I won't let you tell me what to do.'

I groaned, 'I never asked for it, damn it!' I snapped. 'Not impressed.' He got up on his feet. 'Sunstreaker...!' He didn't listen and marched into the kitchen. The place I didn't want him to go. 'That's a lot of blood.' He picked up the knife. 'What we're trying to cut last night? I don't see any vegetables or meat,' he said. I didn't reply nor looked at him. 'I get it. You're just trying to get over your mental pain by cutting yourself. Did it help?' He asked. I got up. 'Leave me alone.' I walked up the stairs. 'Yeah, walk away. You're good at walking away from your problems.' I snorted. 'I am trying to help you here but you don't seem to understand.'

'I never asked for your damn help. I can handle it myself.'

'Sure you do. I see you're doing great and perfectly fine. You're telling everyone that but I am not stupid. You're hurt, grieving and sad and this is not an way out. Do you think this is what your brother would've wanted? To hurt yourself,' he asked. 'It's not any of your damn business. Aren't you my boss? Because if you are, you keep professional distance and piss off.' He snorted and shook his head. 'Damn, you truly are trying to get yourself killed, huh?' He snapped. 'I am not. You are the one who's not listening. You do things behind my back, you don't listen to me. All you do is what you want. You're egotistic. I just want you to leave me alone!'

'Then why did you call me last night, huh? Why?!' He shouted. I clenched my jaws. 'Why did you call me last night if you don't want me?' He snapped. 'I don't know!' I shouted back. 'It was a mistake and it won't happen again!' I snapped. 'Sure it was...' he sulked and crossed his arms. 'Can you just leave me alone?'

'I want to but I can't because you're going to hurt yourself again.' I waved him off. 'You're an ass, Sunstreaker! You're unbelievable and I can't stand you! You're egotistic and arrogant. Why don't you just disappear?!' A silence fell. 'I might be selfish and arrogant, but you're still alive because of me. I see potential in you and you're wasting it. For what? Grief? Is this what your brother would've wanted? To turn into a mess of pathetic flesh and blood?'

'Get out, Sunstreaker! You don't know anything about my life or my brother. You're the one causing me stress and frustration. Just get out, leave!' I pushed him. I barely moved an inch. As if he knew I would try to throw him out.  'Just go! Piss off and bother someone else.' I hit his chest with my fist. I just didn't had the strength to punch him hard. 'Yeah, still not impressed. Go to bed,' he ordered. 'No. I am not going anywhere. Not until I am sure you pissed off and just for the record, I don't take orders from you. You just decided one day you wanted to be my boss. Doesn't really work out that well.'

'You can keep scowling at me but I don't care. Go ahead, if it makes you feel better, but I am still not leaving.' I yanked my arm from his grip. 'Fine, then I'll go.' I marched over to the front door. 'And go where?' He mocked. 'I don't care. As long as I am far away from you!' I shouted. I slammed the door shut. Not a smart move. I wasn't wearing a coat or shoes and I was tired. Nevertheless, I was trying to make a statement and walked off to my unknown designation.

Sunstreaker probably thinks I am going to return, but I am not. I can't look at him. I sighed and slowed down my pace a little bit. I returned to the base. I was passing by anyway. 'What on earth are you doing here! I send you home.' Ratchet yanked on my arm and I nearly fell. 'I just want peace. I want to be alone and if Sunstreaker doesn't leave, I will.'

'Damn it, femme! Why on earth are you so stubborn?! I just gave you a blood transfusion because you decided to cut yourself! Don't tell me you're fine because you're not! You're not fine and Sunstreaker will keep an eye on you rather you like it or not,' he snapped. I yanked my arm back. 'I am not staying in the same house as him. He doesn't necessarily need his holoform so if he wants to stay, he stays outside, parked on the streets where I don't have to talk to him or see him.'

Ratchets sucked in a breath. 'You're ruining yourself. This is what will get yourself killed.' I ignored. 'Leave me alone, Ratchet.' I passed him and strolled over to one of the one-call rooms where I climbed in the upper bed. I don't even care where I am, as long as I can just lay down.
