' I'm sorry, I'm too busy wallowing in self pity ... '

^^^^^

Eden lay curled up in Billy's bed, staring across at the wall as she sun filtered in through the curtains. She'd been awake from hours, but couldn't bring herself to move from Billy's scent that stained the pillows. He hadn't came home like she'd hoped, making the anger boil in her stomach. She jumped when the door swung open, rolling back slightly to look over her shoulder.

'We need to go,' Max urged.

'What?' She cocked a brow.

'Mike called a code Red. We need to go.'

'I'm sorry, I'm too busy wallowing in self pity because my boyfriend doesn't care.'

'He does care, so get your arse up. Come on.'

She groaned, rolling over to sit before she stood. She sent the girl a bored look, Max rolling her eyes as she reached forward and pulled her up to stand. She trudged after her, tying her hair back into a bun in an attempt to tame it. She snatched an apple off the kitchen bench when she passed it, heading outside with much reluctance. Eleven was already by the car, pulling the door open when she saw her sister; Max close behind.

'So, where am I going?' She asked once she was inside the car.

'Mike's,' Eleven answered with a firm nod.

'Right. Why?'

'Something's happened,' Max chimed.

Eden turned to the key to start the engine, swearing when it wouldn't turn over.

'Fuck, fuck, fuck,' She hit the steering wheel.

'What is it?' Max asked.

'I forgot to put the new fuel filter in. Was supposed to do it yesterday. Fuck.'

She climbed out of the car, popping the hood to look inside. She swore, leaning forward to look into the engine.

'You got a spare bike, kid?' She looked to Max as she let the hood fall shut; 'Because this isn't going anywhere any time soon.'

The red head nodded, running to the garage to pull out two bikes. Eden let out an annoyed sigh, sling her leg over the bike before she started up the street; Eleven riding on the handle bars of Max's. Sweat lined her skin when they finally arrived at the Wheeler house hold, the Lawson girl letting out a string of curses when the girls raced inside as she caught her breath.

'After all those long nights will Billy, you think I'd be fitter,' She muttered to herself as she headed inside.

The teens were all in the basement, sitting around with their eyes on Will. They all glanced at her as she made her way down the stairs, she sent them a tight smile and a small wave. None of them questioned her being there, all of them looking back to Will.
