                     One Month Later

   I woke up with a start. I shot up in a cold sweat. "Hey. It's okay. You're safe Raph. It's okay." I nodded and ran my hands over my face. "W-What time is it?" He checked his phone. "6." I nodded. "I'm going to go train. You can go if you want?" He shook his head. "No I need to train anyways. Wanna go box?" I smiled and nodded. "Let me change hold on." I walked over to the closet and put on a sports bra with am attaching tank-top. I slipped a pair of leggings on and pulled my hair up, since it was more of a messy pixie cut now.
        "You ready Nico!?" I shouted. "Yeah hold on!" I heard him fumbling around. "Yup! Let's go!" I walked out of the closet. I couldn't help but think something was off. Like if someone had an inside joke and you didn't know wha it meant? Sort of like that I guess. It was slightly making me anxious. I have managed to control my anxiety and asthma for the better part of the month. I haven't had an attack since the day... he left. It's still a touchy subject. He hasn't answered any of my calls the passed week. I'm starting to get worried. Hopefully he's safe and not dead in a ditch, or bleeding. Or hurt, or bruised, or any stupider than when he left.

       I walked with Nico down the hall and to training room. I have began a schedule.

        Wake up
        Train for three hours
        Eat
        Shower
        Meeting/ Go for a fly
        Read for three hours
        Dinner
        Mario Kart
        Shower
        Bed

    I raced Nico up the steps and I won-per usual. "Cheater." I rolled my eyes. "Mhmm. You're the old man here." It was his turn now. I walked into the room and grabbed the tape. I wrapped my hands in it. Nico just climbed into the ring. I finished wrapping my hands and slid into the ring. Only a couple of people were in the room so it was scarce.
     He ran I circles and held out fists in the air. I dodged a punch and through one. It hit him in the nose and I ducked them kicked him down. He hopped back up and went to punch me in the cheek, I moved and he hit my throat. I bent down and coughed violently. Or at least he thought I was. "Oh shit Raphael I'm sorry." He bent down. I kicked his leg and he fell on his side. "Never let your guard down old man." I held a hand out to help him up but he rolled on top of me. "Never expect things to go your way." I rolled my eyes. "Get off old man. I'm getting parched." He rolled off and stood up.

    I hopped out of the ring and down on the ground. I coughed a bit. My asthma was acting up but I was fine. I took a sip of the water I brought and set it back down. I hopped back up to the ring. I threw a punch at Nico, he ducked and kicked me in the shin. I cringed at the terrible noise it made. "You okay there Princess?" I rolled my eyes at Nico, the biggest pain in my ass. "Yup. Let's go." I stood up.

Damien and I decided that we were bored and needed to train. So we started to fight, per usual. We kept going for each other's throats until I managed to get him in an arm lock.
        I heard footsteps behind me. "Settle down kids." Mya warmed from behind me. Wait.... Mya?! I whipped around. "Wait! If you're here... then." She smirked. "Where. Now." I threatened. "Bedroom." I ran passed her. I ran down the stairs as fast as I could. I avoided all the looks and all the members with their bags coming back. I just smiled to myself at the thought of him being back.

    I slowed down and opened the bedroom door. He wasn't in there but the shower was on. His bags were on the bed sloppily thrown and his boots were on the floor near his side of the bed. I took my shoes off and my socks. I put  them outside of the bathroom door. I carefully opened it. He had his hair in the shower. I ran in the shower and climbed onto him. He stumbled back and tightened his grip on me. I let the silent tears fall down my face. "I-I m-missed you so much." I cried out. "I missed you more my love." He brought my face up to face him and kissed me.
His soft lips moved against mine, quickly but not to rushed. Like he wanted more but also had respect for me and my wishes. He pressed me up against the wall and continued to kiss me. Air was slowly rolling away and I needed some. I broke from the kiss, a string of spit separating us. I put my head back in his shoulder. "I would've given you some air Love." I rolled my eyes and laughed. "You have no idea how much I missed your laugh, or you in general." I nodded.
