“Hell yes!” Quinn says, pushing Gram’s front door with excitement. Excitement Alex hadn’t seen come from his rather quiet cousin. Excitement he wished he felt at this very moment. Something about his mom’s persistence rubbed him the wrong way. Why did she want me home so badly? The answer to that might come out later on. Or will it? Right now I need to know why on Earth she’s so happy.

“Why are you so pumped?” Alex asks, standing in front of the front door.

“I’d like to know too,” Gram says, not far after Alex. Quinn is pouring a pitcher of icy water into a green cup. She takes a big gulp then answers.

“Alex, I finally have a friend. Even though you’re family, you’re fun to hang out with. You’re nice to be around. You don’t think I’m crazy for wanting to dye my hair and do wild makeup. And I got to stand up for us quiet ones today.” Alex starts to smile. The only family he pretty much has are his parents. He could be himself around Quinn and it was all okay. “We got a victory today, Alex. What’s not to be happy about?”

He can’t help but continue smiling. He walks up to her and with no warning, embraces her in a much-needed hug for the both of them.

“We do need to touch up the red strip in your hair. It’s fading,” Quinn says as she moves from Alex, taking her cup of water to her room. Gram breathes a breath of relief.

“I’m going to get some of your things from your parent’s house. Anything specific you want or need?”

“Whatever clothes I have in my closet will do. I trust your judgment. Thank you.”

Alex hugs his grandma before she leaves as if he felt safe. His parents never physically abused him but there were little things that turned into big things, and they were entirely too overbearing, overprotecting, and controlling. The abuse is still abuse, physical or not. It’s like Alex had a leash around his neck. He’s surprised he’s gotten away with the things he’s done. Strict parents do raise sneaky kids. School’s tomorrow. I’ve got to prepare for that.

Later that night. Alex approaches Quinn’s bedroom door. He knocks and hears what sounds like Quinn talking on the phone. She tells the person she has to go, and then opens the door. “Yes?”

“I wanted to talk to Adam for a bit and was wondering if you wanted to join. And after, you can dye my hair, so it’ll be fresh and bright for school.” Quinn answers almost immediately.

“Yes! Awesome! In your room?” she asks.

“Yeah, I just need to ask him a couple of questions.”

Quinn sat on the floor across from Alex as he starts. “Is there anyone with us?” Little to no time passes.

“YES”

“Adam?” The planchette moves slightly away, then back.

“Okay, good. Adam, is the address you gave us a while back your old house?” The planchette, once again, moves slightly away and back to its spot. “So it is.
