Songbird looked up at Sky. The bird was holding onto Sky's shoulder as Sky walked up the stairs to Ty's bedroom. Sky had found Songbird watching clouds pass in the kitchen, somewhat annoying Husky who was trying to wash the day's dishes in the sink. He had picked Songbird up and let the bird fly up to his shoulder. The two were silent as they walked up the stairs. Sky stopped at Ty's door and lifted his hand to knock on it. He hesitated and winced as the memories flooded his mind. He sighed shakily and tried to compose himself. He took a deep breath and knocked lightly on Ty's door, the door opening slightly as he did. Songbird flew off Sky's shoulder and pressed his beak to the door, effectively opening it a bit wider. The bird flew into the now open room and onto Ty's bed, curling up in its own tail like a cat. Sky gently pushed the door open and looked around the room for Ty. When he didn't see him, he walked in and sat down in Ty's desk chair. Sky smiled a little, Ty had a comfier chair then he did. Leaning back a bit to get comfortable his eyes scanned the room and caught a flicker of gold. He stared at it and got up from the chair. He walked over and knelt down, slightly chiding himself for not giving his friend some privacy. He reached out and his fingers clasped around a cool, smooth, thin and sharp object. He pulled it out and found himself looking in a piece of broken mirror. How and why Ty had this he didn't know, and although he wanted to find out he felt it best to let it go. For now, at least. He quickly replaced it and stood up when he heard the sound of approaching footsteps. He sat on the bed just as Ty entered the room with wet hair clinging to his face.

"Hey, I just came up to give you back your birdy", Sky said.

He put up a bright façade so Ty wouldn't question him.

"You know his name's Songbird", Ty piped up, sounding a little annoyed and agitated.

"Yeah I know", Sky replied, chuckling a little at Ty's tone.

"Thanks, though. I was kind of wondering where he had gone", Ty said quietly.

Sky suddenly hopped up off the bed and walked towards Ty.

"Your welcome. See you tomorrow then?", Sky questioned as he walked past Ty.

He hadn't meant it to sound like a question, but he didn't make a move to correct himself.

"Yeah. Good night, Sky", Ty said turning to look at Sky as he stopped in the doorway.

"Good night, buddy", Sky said his smile lessening, but the truest one he had worn all day.

Ty watched as Sky closed his door and then walked over to his bed. Dropping down onto the mattress and curling around Songbird, he whispered a good night to the bird before letting sleep pull him into the inky depths of his subconscious mind.

Sky slid down Ty's door as he heard his friends breathing even out. He let his head drop onto the tops of his knees. He pulled a shaky breath into his lungs and let it out as a sigh. He'd been doing a lot of that lately. He looked up from his knees and thought about the mirror shard he had found. It was clean and unscratched as if it were made to be like that. He pushed his legs out so the blocked the hallway. His thoughts carrying him away until Ian nudged his leg with his foot. He looked up at the other man who was holding out a hand. Sky smiled and gratefully took the gesture. He grabbed the hand and pulled himself up into a standing position. He said a thank you to Ian before walking to his own bedroom.

What Sky didn't see was the blood stains on the carpet. The blood stains that were both droplets and smears. As if someone had wiped something covered in blood on the carpet to get the blood off. But hey, what Sky doesn't know won't hurt him. Will it?

This is a long time coming. And I apologise for it being so short. I hope you all liked it and if you did could you please review, or comment, or message me over Tumblr. I usually don't ask for this, but only one person has reviewed this. I get it if you can't, but if you can please do.

The more reviews I get the quicker the chapters will come. It's like a motivator and I really need that right about now.

I hope you all have a good morning, afternoon, evening or other.
