' This is for everything you've ever done to me. '

^^^^^

The hospital was overly quiet when the large group strode through the doors, Eden's eyes roaming over the empty halls. They moved silently and quickly, trying to sneak past the receptionist who was on the phone; talking loudly. But, when they were almost free and clear, the woman spotted them.

'Whoa, whoa, whoa! Excuse me!' She hollered, causing all of them to stop and turn to her; 'Where do you think you're going?'

'Oh, um I was just going to visit my grandma again,' Nancy smiled; 'And... And this this is my family.'

The woman eyed off Lucas who said, 'Extended.'

'I don't care who they are. You know the rules. Two visitors at a time,' The nurse reminded them.

'Yeah, but-'

'Two!' She turned back to her phone call; 'Girl, this child has lost her mind. She brought a whole zoo in here.'

Nancy and Jonathan shared a look before they looked back at the remainder of the group, most of which nodded. Eden rolled her eyes, turning away to sit on a plush chair in the waiting room. The rest of the younger teens moved to sit around her, all of them silent. But, she quickly grew restless, pushing herself up to stand. 

'Where are you going?' Mike asked. 

'To get my car,' She stated as she walked away; 'I'll be back.'

'What-'

'Trust me. She'll be back,' Lucas nodded.  

Mike looked at him with raised brows, only to be sent a pointed look by his friend. 

^^^^^^

'Al, you here?' Eden called as she entered the garage, a light on in the office. 

No reply came. She sighed, shaking her head as she searched the jar on the bench for her keys. A yelp left her mouth when she knocked the jar, sending it shattering to the ground. She let out a string of curses, kneeling down to pick up the keys from the floor. She piled them blindly up on the bench, brushing the glass into a heap on the floor. She stood, sighing before she turned to look at her car; a squeal leaving her mouth when she came face to face with her father. 

'W-What are you doing here? We're closed,' She spat.

'I came to see you, sweetheart,' Silas smirked; 'Pay you back for the hell you gave me.'

She took a step back, her hands hitting the bench; her body trembling. Her body was flung to the side as his hand hit her cheek, hitting the concrete with a thud. Eden scrambled backwards, stumbling over tools and metal.
