Autumn

It’s been a few months since I came to stay with Dad, I finally feel more settled in and I’m more healed, my thoughts aren’t any better, and I feel like by the day they are only getting darker. The guys have all been a massive help though, staying by my side constantly, I swear I always have a shadow, normally it’s Dominic, he’s like a stray dog that I brought home, he’s constantly there, watching, but also ready to be the guy I need to make me laugh when I feel the dark thoughts dragging me down.

Sebastian continues to watch movies with me, he’s not much of a talker normally, but oh boy, if you ask him about a movie fact, he can talk through the whole duration of it. He’s always researching my mom, Jane has been missing since the fire, and there’s still no sign of her, which is super frustrating, but there’s nothing more we can do until he finds a sighting of her.

Zander has been my mother hen, constantly plotting with Mrs McKay about what to feed me, what contains the highest carbs, proteins, etc. They’ve both been on a mission to get me back to a normal weight, and as of my last check in with Doc yesterday, they succeeded, which means hopefully they’ll back off a bit.

Tobias has been my best friend, we’ve bonded over our shared trauma and he’s always there for me when a panic attack sets in, ready to talk me through it. I don’t think I would have been able to get through the last few months without any of them, but Tobias always seems to know what I need the most.

And Atlas, I can’t forget him, he’s been my rock. Sitting with me in my appointments, helping me with physio since the nerves were ruined in my feet the night of the fire. His ma and da have come over weekly to see me again which I loved, Mrs Moore enveloped me in the best hug, I may have shed a few tears in the process, but she just wiped my tears away and pulled me into the kitchen, to make me the hot cocoa she was famous for. Me and Atlas are closer than ever, the crush I had on him as a young girl, has returned with a vengeance, but I also have thoughts about the others. Shaking my head away from those thoughts again, I know they’d never be interested in someone as broken as I am, which I totally understand but every time I think of it, my heart hurts, these boys have been the glue that’s held me together these last few months, and the idea of losing them or watching them with another girl makes bile rise in my throat.

Deciding to distract myself from those thoughts, I make my way outside to the lake. It’s February now so still warm but compared to what we’re used to, it’s a little chilly.
