I've Created the Sound of Maddness wrote the book on pain but I'm still here to Explain....

Reese: "Oh," I ran a hand through my hair and nodded "now I get it."

Ember: "Could you see why i would be slightly mad at him? And now, according to him, My dad...never mind." I sighed. "Its not that important." Well, it actually was. But Reese didnt need to know.

Reese: "You can tell me...but only if you want to."

Ember: "He has my little siblings now. I was able to get them away from him a couple years ago...and now he has them again. I cant let him do to them what he did to me. Once they were safe i ran away."

Reese: I nodded. "So you're saying they are or are not safe currently?"

Ember: "Probalby not." I sighed. Why couldnt life be easy?

Reese: I was silent, then I sat on my bed and thought for a few minutes. "That's not good," I concluded, even though it was obvious.

EMber: "I know." I sighed, standing up. "Trust me. I know."

Reese: "You need a hug?" I cracked a half smile, and stood up with my arms open wide to her.

Ember: I nodded and embraced the hug, pressing my head into his shoulder.

Reese: "Eventually, we could go back and get them," I whispered.

Ember: "Would you do that? Would the group do that?" I asked softly.

Reese: "I can only speak for myself, but I would."

Ember: "Thank you." I dont think he understood how much that meant to me that he said that.

Reese: "Your welcome," I squueezed her one last time then pulled out of the hug.

Ember: "I should probably get changed." I muttered, noticing that i was still in my black tank top and shorts. They had dried long ago, but I didnt feel like having the shoulder exposing tank top on right now.

Reese: "Right...I have to go get lunch, anyway," I said and went downstairs.

Ember: "Meet you down there." I sighed, walking into my room and changing into my one of my other pairs of black shorts and a white t-shirt with a purple zip up hoodie with white trimming. I went into the bathroom and washed my face before going downstairs.

Myra: I walked downstairs, into the kitchen. "You only have one more meal before you're free not to cook again, Dima!"

Reese: I chuckled from where I was sitting at the table.

Dima: "I'm comin." I laughed, running down into the kitchen. "Who here wants grilled cheese?" I asked them, already warming up the pans and tomato soup.

Myra: "I'm actually not eating lunch today..." I said, and realized how odd that sounded once the words came out of my mouth.

Reese: "What, did you decide to go anorexic on us?"

Myra: I rolled my eyes. "No, I'm going for a run in about half an hour, and I hate running on a full stomach."

Dima: "Kay then. What about you Reese?" I asked, melting some butter in the pan.
"I'll take one." Ember said, coming in and sitting down.

Reese: "Sure," I smiled at Ember when she sat down beside me. I said under my breath to her "Feel better?"

Ember: "Loads." I lied, a smile on my face. I didnt want to lie to them, but i didnt want the worrying about me anymore. plus after all the years, i had gotten better at hiding my emotions.

Reese: I frowned, no one said 'loads' if they were legit better. I nodded, but gave her a stern look. "Good."
