    When I finally woke up Jason still held me. During the long hours of agony I had passed out from the pain. He stayed. I think my arms circling around his torso. Tears start to stream down my blood streaked cheeks. I observe Jason's face with the bags under his eyes and the worried expression chiseled into his features. My voice it's sore from screaming so I do the only thing a mourning wolf can do.

    Howling at the top of my lungs I pull Jason's face into my chest. For those fifteen minutes that I let loose I don't think about the fact that I'm naked or the fact that I'm covered in my own blood. I think about the betrayal of Rider, the fact that I loved him and he didn't care. He played me like a instrument out of tune. Turning just the right dials to get me to sing.

    The dirt on the floor digs into my bare skin and the smell of the musky stout chokes me but I don't care. Broken from the Punisher goes through my head. Shifting halfway I open my eyes and let all the agony out. Jason wakes up startled he stares up at me. His green eyes carry many emotions as I choke on my own tears and try to bury the hole that's ripped through my chest.

    Looking down at Jason I let the tears that flow out of my eyes fall into his face. In that moment I allow him to see my agony. My white hair covers both of us and my ears are flattened against my head. In response to my agony he just wraps his arms around me until all of the pain is out. What I want prepared for was the all to familiar numb feeling. I don't feel hurt, or love, I don't even feel the pain of my limbs as he picks me up and leads me up the stares.

    Mom screams when she sees the blood and quickly comes to get me clothes and wash all the blood of. Through this whole transition I space out lost in my own world. Honestly I don't give a damn what they do to me. When I finally resurface I'm in bed with Jason. He's currently stroking my hair with an angry expression on his face.

     "I promise you this Jem. My brother will pay ten fold for what's he's done to you. That sick bastard is getting what he deserves." He says cuddling closer to me.

    But I don't understand because I'm numb.
