My head hammered as I woke up to the booming light in my bedroom. I don't know what being dead feels like but I would definitely imagine it to be like this. I just hope that I am going to get through school today. I could nearly not recognise myself in the mirror. In just a month my whole body has changed. My cheeks have all swallowed in and all my ribs are in view. I could now count them all. I shook the depressing thoughts away and just chucked some random clothes on. My clothes pretty much represented on how I felt as I dressed in a baggy hoodie and tracksuit pants. Sometimes I wish I could just spend the day in bed and hollow in my self-pity. But that would be suspicious...

I tried smiling as my great grandfather and family greeted me. But I was not only suffering from a killer hangover but as well as dark bruised ribs thanks to a fucker called Tony. "good morning my flower." I smiled the best I could while serving myself up a small portion. I didn't want to worry my family but the thought of food just made me nauseous. How could I eat possibly when there is Boss who could be plotting my family death right in this minute. How could I eat when I know this is all my fault? "are you ok honey?" My thoughts were cut as John placed a hand over my head. I looked at them with a confused expression as they all looked worried. "what's wrong?" I asked looking around me. "you zoned out again... you don't look, good sis." I shook it away and took a forced mouthful of my porridge.

"Diego is right princess you do not look well. You should go back to bed after breakfast and I shall call the doctor." I clutched my fork in my hand. "no, I am ok I just needed some food... I feel fine now." I said irritated. I knew I didn't look my best but surely I wasn't looking that bad.

Papa sighed in defeat from my pleading look. "Fine you can go to school but if you feel bad during the day call your mother or one of your brothers." I shoved the rest of the mouthfuls in before running out greeting Henry and starting my pitiful day at school.

It is always the same at school... my twin cousins making everyone's life miserable as they flirted with every male. Ben was still hanging out with that group so I only hope he is not taking drugs. I chucked my bag in my locker and grabbed my books for the day. "Well hello their babe, Must I say that ass is the juiciest peach I had ever seen." I spun around with my fist in mid-air only for it to be caught.

"Jace?" I choked in bewilderment. "missed mye short stack?" He grinned leaning against my locker. "what the hell are you doing here?" I hissed slapping him across the head making sure none of my family can see us. "Ouch, that hurt like a mother-."

"Jace!" I suppressed facepalming. "Why are you here." He sucked in his breath before finally answering me. "I thought it would be safer if we stayed closer together. So, I joined the school." I grabbed his arm dragging him along with me before shoving us both in the janitor's locker. "never thought I would be locked in here." He chuckled making me deadpan even more. "Jace explain this?! What happened you just vanished for days, I didn't know where you were.. or if you were ok or if he had hurt you." Tears threatened to spill which made Jace immediately intervene.
