A/N: So what do you guys think of the prequel idea? Thanks for reading! Have a great day! :)

Bree's P.O.V.

"Alright. How are you doing with the whole walking thing?" I ask.

"Okay, I guess. It will get better soon, you said?" she replies.

"Yes, it should be all better within a day or two. Do you want me to help you today, though?" I ask, offering her assistance.

"No, when I go in there, I have to look strong for the guys. I don't want them to worry." she says.

"They are already worried. Take it easy today. We can be strong tomorrow." I say.

"I still want to walk on my own, but I'll be sure to be careful." She says as we enter the kitchen.

The boys all turn to look at us as soon as we walk in. Skylar waves at them, but they don't stop staring. Finally, Chase steps in and pulls out a seat for her to sit in. "So, how are you feeling, Skylar?" he asks, breaking the silence.

The boys' faces return to normal and she replies. "I'm alright, I think. I'm really hungry, though."

Oliver jumps up to get her some pancakes and juice. He is such a hurry that he drops the glass, causing it to shatter on the floor. She just stares at it as if it's the most interesting and sad thing in the world. "I'm so sorry, Skylar! Here I'll get you another one and clean up this mess. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" he exclaims, reaching down to clean up the broken glass.

She stops him by placing her hand on his shoulder. She bends down and picks up a large piece from off the floor. She stares at it for a long time. Her hand is still on Oliver's shoulder and he places his own hand on top of hers. This wakes her up and she whips her head around to face him. "It's broken." she states simply.

"I-I can fix it. Just let me-" he begins before she cuts him off.

"No, you can't, Oliver. You can't fix this. But it's okay, because I can. It wasn't your fault that it broke. It's not your fault." she says, looking him straight in the eye.

He looks at her and I can almost see something inside him break. A wall. A barrier. Because he breaks down then. He sits down on the floor among the shards of broken glass. "It's not." he says, looking at the glass around him.

She shakes her head, making him look up at her again. "It's not." she repeats.

One tear. Two. Three and four and all the rest. It's like a flood. Like a river that has pushed through the barrier. Like a dam that has overflowed. They are both crying now, hands clasped together. She pulls him up and then uses his strength to pull herself up as well so that they are both standing. "It's not your fault either. You didn't break it either, Skylar." he says.

"No, I didn't. But I will fix it anyway. It is still mine to fix. And It will be alright. I have lots of helpers to help me fix it too. I won't be alone." she replies.

"You're right. We will help you. You are so amazing. And I know I tell you this a lot, but I really mean it. You are incredible. I may have super strength, but you are the strongest person I know." he says, looking at her as if she were the whole world.

I guess she is his. "Thank you, Oliver. And the rest of you. I wouldn't be here without you guys and I definitely couldn't do this without you. I love you guys." she says.

"We love you too." I reply, giving my brother a side hug as she holds Oliver's hands.

He lets go and practically runs over to Kaz. "She said she loves me! Did you hear that? She loves me!"

Kaz laughs and shakes his head. "She said she loves all of us, Buddy. Not just you."

Oliver just shrugs. "I'll take what I can get."

He skips back to Skylar who is wiping her tears away. "Hey! I was supposed to be the one to do that!" he exclaims, taking her face in one hand while wiping away a tear with the other.

She laughs a little at his adoration of her. Before anyone can say anything, though, we hear footsteps coming from the living room. We all turn toward the sound, and Kaz walks over to see who it is. Oliver holds Skylar tighter and Chase stands in front of me. We don't know who it might be and we don't want to be hurt by an intruder. My breathing picks up. What if it's Roman and Riker again? What if they hurt the others? Or Skylar again? Or me? I don't have to worry for long. Soon I hear laughter coming from the living room and Kaz reappears in the kitchen. "Guys, it's okay. It's only Mr. Davenport!" he says, smiling.

I smile and look at Chase who is smiling as well. We run into the living room, anxious to tell our 'dad' everything that has happened. Oliver stays behind with Skylar as she hobbles toward the rest of us. He really does love her. I smile to myself. We all sit down and explain everything to Mr. Davenport. He seems concerned, but also relieved that we are all okay. He said Skylar would be alright. And he's right. She will be alright. All of us will. We have each other and that is all we really need. "Hey, guys," says Skylar, standing up, "I think what we need is a good old-fashioned group hug. You guys up for it?"

We smile and throw our arms around each other. It may not be easy going forward, but we will go forward; Together.
