So sometimes life gets hard, you just have to get through it day by day. If you just woke up and all you did was breath today, sometimes that's okay. School and homework kind of make me put writing the next chapter off.

So here it is…

This was so tiring! All I could do was sit around and wait for my next meal. Fang didn't say a word at all for the next few days even though I asked him again and again. The bathroom was no problem and that was the only time I had the chance to get out of the room.

"Fang I need to go to the bathroom!" I called but I couldn't hear anyone on the other side of the door. "Fang?!" still nothing.

Great I was left alone closed off in this room. I mean what would happen if the place started burning down or something. How was I supposed to get out of here on a limp?

I stumbled around a bit and then tried the door again. It had been a few days and my ankle was still killing me but I was feeling a lot better, at least they gave me food.

To my surprise the door was unlocked. I thought for a moment, these few days I had been there no one had left it unlocked and the kids hadn't come into the room except for Fang. So why was it open? Where they letting me leave? It wasn't likely was it?

After a few moments of thinking it through I opened the door and peeked out just to make sure I was alone.

I only knew the way to the bathroom was the door to my left, but to my right there was a hallway that lead to some sort of living area. I couldn't hear anyone else in the building. But I was serious about needing to pee, so I limped to the bathroom first before I went to investigate whatever was at the other end of the hall.

It was so weird. It seemed like a penthouse but it looked kind of abandoned. There was a kitchen with a few cans and a mini fridge that seemed like it actually worked. There was also a living room area with a few mismatched couches, like someone just pulled this place together.

One of the couches was pulled against the wall and there were a few blankets there as if someone had been sleeping in on it. Books were all over the place though, medicine, technology, kid's books, math books, story books. I think I even saw a Harry Potter copy under a pile.

This place wasn't all that bad to live in. I made my way around the other areas of the penthouse. I didn't go into the rooms but I was actually right about the five people living in here. The first room probably belonged to the blond kids, Angel and her brother. There were toys all on the floor, action figures and dolls.

The room next to it was very neatly organized, there was nothing on the floor and there were barely any pieces of furniture but a mattress on the floor in a corner. But the walls were all painted different colors in a lot of places. It was a small room, probably used to be a walk in closet of some sort.

The last room must have been the master bedroom at one point, but the transformation to the room was for a completely different purpose. There was a mattress in the corner but almost every piece of furniture was pushed up against the walls leaving a big space in the middle of the room. Sheets and clothes were all over the room floor.

It also had a door that lead into a huge bathroom. It seemed like it was also functional. I tried the faucet and it did run smoothly.

"That was the bestest movie ever!" Damn it they were back and I was out of the room. I supposed the little blond one was yelling. I could hear everyone shuffling into the penthouse. How in the hell was I going to get back to the room before they saw me snooping around, the limp didn't help at all.

"Yeah I know!" a girl was talking and I almost recognized her voice. "I mean the actor was sooooo great and she was the damsel in distress but at the end she was the hero and all the action, I mean I wish I could be her!"

Someone snapped their fingers and I could barely hear it but everyone went quiet.

I figured they found out I wasn't in the room anymore. I could probably walk out or stumble out I should say and just tell them I needed a bathroom break. Or I could hide and they would probably kick me out of this place for sure and I wouldn't get food anymore.

Somehow I needed to convince them to let me stay even though I had snooped around the place. Why did everything have to be so silent? I couldn't even hear footsteps.

"Angel, did you unlock the door?" The girl was asking and I smiled, yeah she would have been the one to unlock it.

"Gotcha" someone whispered and I didn't even have the chance to turn around. Fang and the blond guy I supposed was Iggy grabbed me by my arms and legs carrying me out of the room.

"Let me go!" I shouted trying to move but the pain in my leg was killing me as they carried me. "It hurts!" I felt so vulnerable, Sam flashed into my mind and I kicked Fang in the face. He let me fall out of his grasp and Iggy also let me go.

I didn't get up, I just curled into myself and wished the memories away. No one touched me as I turned away and tried to hide my tears. How could my past haunt me so easily in moments like these?

Okay so here it is, the best I could do for now, I've told you guys it's going slow, but let's let them earn to trust each other. Bloody nose for Fang anyone? Thanks for reading! Review if you'd like. You guys bring my hopes up! This will probably be the day when I reach 1000 views on this story yeeiiii.

See you next time…
