Colleen nodded, returning the hug. "G'night." Walking upstairs to her own room, Colleen closed the door with a satisfied sigh. She switched the light on, but her hand hovered above the switch for a few moments. Staring blankly at the guitar in the far corner, she stood still as stone. Shrugging, she switched the lights back off, un-packing her guitar in the dark. After setting the acoustic Epiphone guitar on the bed, she stripped down to her boxers and binder. Colleen glanced donward at the bandages over her chest, a frustrated and rather angry scowl etched upon her mouth. She closed her eyes, unwrapping the bandages and tossing them onto the nearby dresser.
Dropping down onto the bed, she pulled the guitar into her lap, shutting her eyes and beginning to play a soft, lilting tune. Soon enough she has lost herself in the music, the air heavy with emotion from the passionate playing. In due time, the music had become angrier, her hidden frustration audible. She continued like this, playing out the song of her soul, until she fell asleep on her back with her guitar lying diagonal across her torso.

Nathan followed Colleen and Mason the whole day, without saying a word. He ate his dinner in silence, got in the car in silence, followed into the house. In silence. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to them, he was just thinking. Thinking about everything that happened that day and the week before when he ran away. It took him while to get here, but he made it. When they got home, Nathan just watched the girls. He said night to both of them as the went to their rooms. Nathan grabbed his bags and went to see where he could sleep. He went to the room acrossed from Colleens. It was one of the rooms with a connected bathroom. Nathan unpacked all of his belongings and then looked at his clock. It read 2:47 A.M. It was late and Nathan had to go to sleep. He decided a quick shower would be best, first. He jumped into the shower and jumped out, just taking a quick 10 minute one. He pulled on a pair of boxer-briefs and pajama pants. He undid all his piercings and laid them in a box next to his bed on his night stand. He went back to the bathroom, turned off the lights, and locked the door. He did the same for his room as well. The only reason he locked the door is because sometimes, his friends liked to play pranks when Nathan was asleep. He wanted to make sure he could stay asleep this time.

John woke up frightened, depressed, and in tears from the nightmare that had just unfolded in his dream. He noticed he wasn't in his room. Then he remembered he had fallen asleep with Annora in her bed. He looked to his side seeing a sleeping Annora. John got up and went to their conected bathroom. He didn't bother to close the doors thinking everyone would be asleep. Once again he pulled out his pocket knife. He mumbled to himself "Why? Was i not good enough? Or did he just hate me?" Then he cut two medium sized dark red X's into his left arm. eting the blood slide and drip off his arm for a few minutes he bandaged it and washed the blood down the sink. Annora will hate me! John crept slowly back into bed and laid there for about 10 or 11 minutes before he drifted off to sleep.

I watched as the street lights glazed over while the taxi zoomed by. "Sigh, I wonder if anybody's angry at me." I sigh even more and just sink further into the leather chair. Than, my eyes start closing it's self and I nod off to La la land.
---
"Miss. Miss!" I open my eyes at the loud noise and half expect it to be my cousin but saw a complete stranger and hurriedly prop up myself. When all the haziness left and I took a closer look, I realize that I was in a taxi and not in China no more. "Miss, we've arrive at the location you had asked for. Would you like me to help you move your items?"
"No, thank you." I said a bit tired, and I handed him the cash on the meter and tip. I got out the taxi and went to the trunk and took my one suit case out. I look at the building a bit afraid and breathed in deeply. "No worries Lila, you can do this. Just knock on the door and if anyone opens the door or replies, just reply calmly and like I'd always have back than. Everything will be like it has always been!"
I heaved and puff out my chest and stroll towards the door, but I automatically placed my hand on the door knob and twist it. To my surprise, it opens and I step right in. "Sorry for the intrusion..." I whispered softly, but than it hit me, what if this was the wrong house?! What if they wake up and find a stranger in their house and call the cops. What would I say than?! I though over my options carefully, wait here 'till someone wakes up can welcome me back or kick me out. Or to wait outside in the streets like a homeless person with creepy strangers outside 'till they wake up and welcome me or shoo me away. Decisions, decisions, hmm, I think I rather risk the cops. I placed my bags down by the entrance and locked the door. I look around in the dark and saw something that resembled a couch. I slowly made my way to it and sat down. My eyes start dropping again, so I took off my shoes and laid myself down and slept.

Mason awoke slowly at four in the morning and went to flip on the light. She then glanced at the clock, and began frantically getting dressed, thinking she was late. She slid into her faded jeans and bra, then pulled on a camisole and sweater. Before she rushed out the door, she caught sight of the window, on the other side of which was pitch black. She groaned and slammed the door to her bedroom, leaving her on the other side in the hallway.
"Well, obviously no one is awake yet." She muttered, once again talking to herself. She tiptoed down the stairs carefully, though if the door slamming didn't wake anyone up, her footsteps sure wouldn't.
As she rounded the corner of the hallway leading to the living room, she almost fell down out of surprise and fear when seeing someone sleeping on the couch, but she caught herself on the wall.
"Oh my god." She said in a loud whisper. She didn't know exactly what to do. She was too afraid to approach this mystery person, so there was no way she could identify them. After much debate in her head, she finally decided to leave this person to be found by someone else when it was later in the day.
But now what do I do?
Mason approached the kitchen, carefully avoiding the couch. She stared blankly into the refridgerator, where she found only a small dish with blue jell-o in it, a half-eaten subway sandwich, a carton of milk, and a loose potato. She groaned and took out the jell-o, found a spoon and took a bite.
"Not bad." Mason snacked on her jell-o quietly, and looked at the kitchen clock, which now read 4:37am. She cursed to herself. She wasn't tired, so going back to bed was out of the question. After she finished her very early breakfast, she took care of the bowl it was in, and all the other dishes laying in the sink. After that was done, the clock read 4:58am.
Mason walked into the music room quietly avoiding the couch still, and sat at the piano, playing as quietly as possible.

Colleen awoke as the sun began to creep along the horizon. A cranky scowl was fixed upon her mouth as she sat up, groaning at the sight of her un-packed bag. She put the guitar back into it's case, then proceeded to un-zip her bag and grab the first pair of pants and shirt she could find. A ratty pair of dark navy jeans and a white wife-beater. As well, she retrieved her alarm clock from said bag and plugged it into the wall, setting it on top of the dresser. Colleen wrapped her bindings on, got dressed, slipped her switchblade and wallet into her pockets, and brushed her teeth. The usual. Probably 'bout 5 in the mornin', if my internal clock hasn't changed.
She left to the kitchen, but halted in front of the couch. Immediately, she fell into a defensive stance, switchblade now open and clutched in her left hand. Silently creeping forward to see who the intruder was, she lent over the arm of the couch to get a good look at their face. "Oh." Upon recognizing the figure, she chuckled softly. She put her weapon back, deciding not to wake the sleeping girl. Colleen quickly jogged back to her room, tore a piece of paper from a notebook, grabbed a small strip of tape, and ran back with a sharpie in hand. She scrawled Lil in large letters, taping the paper to the arm of the couch that was facing the bedrooms.
The soft sounds of a piano caught her ears. She slipped the sharpie into her pocket, having forgotten she was even hungry, and headed toward the music room. Silently making her way into the room, she lent against the door frame and watched Mason play. As talented as ever. Colleen opted to just close her eyes and listen to the music for a while.

Annora yawned and looked around. Sitting up she sighed softly. "John?" She said softly. He wasn't in her room. "Maybe he went back to his room..." She sighed and stood up. Walking through the bathroom that was theirs something caught her eye. She saw some blood on the sink that was fresh. Sighing softly she walked into John's room and sat next to him just watching him sleep. She would wait until he woke up to tell him that she knew. It has to do with his father... But he can't touch John anymore... Why won't he stop... She thought to herself as she watched john in his sleep.

John woke up around 6:00. He saw Annora holding his hand and watching him sleep. "...g..goodmorning baby." He sat up next to her and kissed her on the lips. He noticed when he kissed her she didn't kiss him back. "Annora? Is something wrong? Are you ok?" He was worried something was wrong with the baby. His face was filled with fright

Annora looked away from John. "Morning." She said with a blan voice. Looking away she took his arm and ripped off the bandage. She wasn't looking at the cuts. "You were cutting again weren't you..." She said softly stroking his wrist, still not looking at him. She wiped the tears from her eyes. Feeling him she found the pocket knife. She held it in her hand and looked at it. "John... Your father can't get you... I won't let him."

He covered his arm. "I'm sorry..i promise i'll try to stop. Please i wont do it again." Tears began to run down his face dripping on hr hand that was intertwined with his. "Please forgive me. I know he can't get me, but i keep having nightmares about him. Every night he never seems to stop the vigorous thrashings."

Annora lifted her hand to his cheek and stroked his cheek. "Next time you have a nightmare about him.. I want you to wake me up and talk to me about it. I don't want you to cut yourself okay?" She lifted his face up and stroked his cheek gently. "I don't want you bleeding one more drop of blood for that horrible man..." She said softly.

"I promise." He hugged her. "Holy s**t, your freezing. He long have you been up anyway?" He laid her down and laid next to her pulling up the blankets. "Come on, you need sleep if your so you can help this little guy grow." He patted her stomach gently. John cuddled closer to Annora to warm her up.
