I woke up to see Richie laying beside me with his mouth slightly hung open while he softly snored. I carefully got out of his bed and went to his wardrobe to grab out a shirt, I found a pink one with strawberries on it and put it on. I glanced at Richie before carefully shutting his wardrobe doors and escaping to the kitchen to make breakfast as a thank you.

"What the dick are you doing?" Richie asked me as I jumped and turned around as I plated up the last pancake on to the biggest plate I could find, "Sugar, did you steal my shirt?" Richie points and I looked around and then down innocently.

"What? No? You let me wear your clothes last night." I reminded him as I scavaged through his pantry and found maple syrup, I put it on the counter and sighed, "now, eat up, I just made those." I told him as I shut the pantry doors and started cleaning up after myself as he shrugged and sat down.

"Aren't you going to eat?" He asked me as I kept washing the dishes, "Mav, you need to eat too, I can't eat all of this by myself." Richie said, I glanced at him and sighed.

"I'll eat soon, okay?" I put on a fake smile as I dried the dishes and put them on the drying rack, "I'm not hungry right now anyway." I added on as I just kept working.

I finally went home after we ate breakfast and fear dropped into my gut, I gulped before putting my bike down and went up the stairs to my front door. I took a deep breath in before I unlocked it with shaking hands. I pushed the door open and forced myself into the household.

"Mavana?" I heard my Aunt call out, "Mavana is that you?" I saw her appear in the doorway and she started crying as she ran towards me. Me being a panicked person, I ran out of the door straight away. I turned around and she looked at me with concern, anger but sympathy, "I—Mavana? I'm so sorry for how I acted last night and where the hell did you go?" I sighed as I looked away and then back at my Aunty.

"I-I—whatever it's fine, Aunty, I went to...The Tozier Residence and stayed there the night." I answered as she rose her eyebrow at me.

"You stayed at Richie's house? That kid is your friend?" She asked me in disbelief.

"Yeah?" Why?" I asked her in confusion.

"His mother is a close friend of mine from Highschool, her kid can be a handful sometimes." She laughs and I shrugged.

"I like him, he has a good sense of humour...just like the others do," I told her with a small smile.

"Come on, I know we had a fight last night but...can we move past it at all?" she asked me.

"Yeah, I missed my own bed anyway." My aunt chuckles at me as she patted my shoulder as I walked past and we went inside.

I was laying on my bed with a small sigh escaping my lips until the sharp pain from being stabbed in my dream started to burn, I gasped as I clutched my jumper and rolled around on my bed in agony. "Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, go away." I groaned as I buried my head into my pillow and screamed in dismay until to stopped burning, I felt like someone just lit my body on fire.

"Mavana? A girl named Beverly is on the phone and wishes to talk to you?" I sat up and blew my curls out of my face.

"I—oh okay." I took the phone and put it to my ear, "h-hello?" I tilt my head slightly.

"I need you to get to my house immediately, I need your help." She hung up before I could answer and I sighed, I handed the phone back to my Aunt and rolled off my bed.
