AN: So...after coming back down from my music-and-television induced high on Monday night...I hate to say that things took a turn for the worst. I am currently with my cousins, and they have (thankfully, though I'd never admit it to them) taken any and all sharp objects and put them well out of my reach. I will be forever grateful for this. However..the damage has been done. Luke and Dani aren't happy with me or the rest of the family at the moment. Me because I was an idiot, them because...well, they wanted to be dicks, putting it lightly.

One of my friends from church, who is also a cutter, seemed to notice something off about me tonight because he searched for the new cuts. I've learned something. Unless it's another cutter looking, they never check your legs, only your wrists and shoulders and stuff. And well..yeah, it was another cutter, and it was bad. He informed by 'older sister', and she made sure to question me before I got to leave.

But, the good news is I'm working on getting better with it, and this story is really like therapy for me. So...thank you guys, because I write it for you.

Also, another little spiel before I continue on with this...Aidrian sent me a message earlier...said he had a surprise for me. I'm worried. He's going to drag my ass out of bed in the morning, I already know it...but still...I'm worried...

Anyways.

To those who reviewed:
Spamano4ever: Indeed it is. The awkward thing about it is my boyfriend actually...we fought once a while back and well..that scene was based off what Dani told me while trying not to laugh at my confusion. Blame Aidrian. His fault that scene even exists, it's so cute...gah, I don't do cute like that often, you should enjoy it!

ThatRandomReview: It's fine! I'm glad you haven't bailed out like a sane person would have! And yeah, insomnia does suck, huh?

Enjoy!

The following morning, Lovino blinked his eyes open only to flinch at the brightness of the room and close his eyes again, curling in on himself.

He was the last one awake of everyone, so his movements caught everyone's attention.

Gilbert dimmed the lights in the room and spoke softly. "It's safe to open your eyes and uncurl."

Lovino peeked out before he shook his head and went back to hiding.

Antonio rolled his eyes and spoke softly. "You feeling okay?"

Lovino nodded.

Feliciano half smiled. "He gets like this sometimes..he'll be alright."

Lovino shifted slightly, allowing himself to drift back to sleep.

Antonio shook his head. "It's not normal for people to sleep so much.."he mused.

Feliciano sighed ."It's understandable, though. Lovino never really got caught up on rest after working himself so hard a while back, remember?"

Antonio nodded. Still, Lovino's behaviour was worrying him.

The group stayed inside that day. Nobody seemed to be too bothered by that.

The next time Lovino woke, it was to see Gilbert and Alfred playing some video game that was full of gore. His expression changed within that second and he got up, disappearing from the room.

Antonio shared a look with the others before going after Lovino.

The two came back not long after. "...not feeling well?"Antonio was asking.

Lovino shrugged. "'m alright."he grumbled. Still, he allowed Antonio to pull him down beside him and curled up against him, not daring to look at the screen.

Feliciano seemed to understand what was going on and half smiled, digging a book from his own bookbag and handing it to Lovino, who glanced at it and smiled at his brother before taking it.

Gilbert noticed and groaned. "Oh, god, you aren't actually going back to being a book nerd are you, Lovino?"he asked, his eyes returning to the screen.

"Shut up and go back to your gore."Lovino said.

Gilbert winced. "Right, forgot. Weak stomach...yeah, sorry."he said.

Lovino rolled his eyes and turned his focus to the book in silence.

The day was a normal one for the group, if a bit more laid back. Nobody was complaining. It was a nice change from running around all over the place constantly. It let them relax.

GUYS! I'm actually going to try talking my family into letting me get my lip pierced! I've been wanting to do that for ages now..well, get it repierced, anyways. I had it pierced my freshman year...and I had to take it out because of cosplay..and yeah, it grew up...so...but, oh my gods, I'll be so happy if I get to get my lip pierced!

Anywho...yeah, here's the new chapter. Sorry it's short.
