(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I shivered heavily as I stood in front of the door, knocking on it with whatever energy I had left since I couldn't feel my fingers at this point. I held my arms and looked around the pitch-black farm in fear of the dark until the door soon opened to reveal Vanya, her looking at me in shock as I stood in front of her.

"Vanya..." I stutter as my voice cracked, gulping back the tears that were slowly forming in my eyes. She quickly brought me inside and I sighed in relief from the warmth of the house compared to the bitter cold I had been walking through the whole night. I was drenched head to toe from the pelting rain but I was glad that it wiped away the blood on me but I still felt disgusting, needing to scrub my skin clean.

"(y/n)! What happened!? Why did you walk through the rain!?" She hugged me tightly and everything finally hits me at once, unable to hold back anymore as I burst out into tears. Vanya held me tightly as I cried in her arms, her trying to calm my shaking but I just sobbed. She ignored the fact that her clothes were getting wet from my rain-soaked ones and it made me feel bad that I cried even more.

"I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't know w-where else to g-go." she pulls back from the hug as she wiped my eyes but the tears didn't stop. "I-I couldn't g-go back home cause of F-Five."

"What!?" Vanya seethes softly and that's when I notice Carl, Sissy and Harlan looking at me from in the background.

"I-I'm sorry for i-intruding. I'm s-sorry, I-I'm so sorry..." I got out of Vanya's arms, opening the front door to leave.

"Dear, you're shivering like a baby lamb!" Sissy ran up to me, wrapping me up in a towel she must've gotten from the bathroom. "Please, stay until you're warm again."

"I-I can't-"

"-(y/n)!" Vanya catches me when my legs give out under me, just so cold that they had gone numb. I had run as far and as fast as I could, asking people the direction to Sissy's farm and just didn't stop running.

"Dear!" Sissy pulls me to sit down at the dining table next to Harlan as I shook violently, wrapping the towel around me tighter.

"You don't even have the energy to walk!" Vanya kneeled in front of me, wiping my tears away. "What happened (Y/n)? Please tell me." I cried softly as she hugged me again.

"I had a fight with Five. He hates me." I stutter out, my body feeling extremely cold.

"I'm sure he doesn't hate you. He cares about you (y/n)." I shake my head.

"He told me that he never wants to see me again-don't make me go back." I cry out and she purses her lips when she saw how scared I was, rubbing my arms and brushing my wet hair away from my face.

"Vanya... her neck..." Sissy gasps and she breathes in sharply, making me instinctively hide the fingerprints around my neck in shame.

"Did he do this to you!?" Vanya fumes. "Did Five hurt you!? Where else did he hurt you!?" she suddenly looks over me, finding a few scrapes around my jaw and the nick on my neck but nothing more. "I'm going to kill him-"

"-Vanya, she's gonna get hypothermia." Sissy quickly butts in.

"Who is this Vanya?" I turn around to face Carl when he suddenly speaks up as he glared at me, standing next to his wife and I realised this was still the night after the dinner with Reggie where he find out his wife and Vanya together.

"This is (y/n), my best friend and sister." Vanya smiles at me and I see Sissy smile brightly at me.

"It's nice to meet everyone. I'm sorry for arriving without warning." I breathe out, rubbing my arms.

"It's all fine dear! A friend of Vanya's is a friend of mine!" Sissy smiles at me and I look at Harlan, waving at him as he smiles at me.

"Sissy, let's get the bath ready. She's getting really cold." Vanya says and she nods her head.

"I'll just go run the bath for you and get you some warm clothes!"

"Thank you so much, Sissy." the violinist helps me up on my feet and leads me to the bathroom.

"I'll be in the living room if you need anything ok. I'll grab those clothes Sissy set out for you." she smiles at me before closing the bathroom door. I struggled to strip out of my heavy wet clothes before quickly slipping into the shower first, grabbing soap and scrubbing my skin raw from the blood that wasn't even there anymore. I still felt dirty and sticky no matter how much I scrubbed, biting down on my tongue to stop my pained yells when I slipped into the boiling hot bath after, sitting down in the water. I was completely submerged in the hot water and I finally got feeling back slowly. I held my knees to my chest as I closed my eyes, hearing Five's words stabbing me over and over again and the stinging pain in my neck.

I don't know how long it's been since I've sat in the bath but my fingertips were slowly becoming wrinkly. "I never meant to hurt you..." I mumbled softly, feeling a sudden weight on my shoulders. I sigh out, slipping my body under the water.

I'm a burden to everyone.

I hurt everyone around me.

I need to leave.

I need to go home without letting anyone know.

But Reggie said I couldn't-

I jolt out of the water, gasping for air when I hear someone knock on the bathroom door. "(y/n) dear, it's Sissy. I brought you some clothes for you." I get up slowly, feeling exhausted all of a sudden and wrap the towel around me to cover myself before Sissy entered the bathroom. She smiled at me, looking away and placing the clothes on the sink before grabbing my clothes.

"You don't have to-"

"-nonsense! I'll get these cleaned and dry in no time for you." she beamed at me, walking out and I stood there for a moment. I felt so out of place, like I wasn't actually here and just so tired. I slowly put the clothes on, layers and layers of warm clothing to heat me up before I waddled out of the bathroom.

"(y/n)! You can have my room. I'll sleep on the couch. Sissy made hot food for you and high-energy stuff so you can sleep and warm up." Vanya guides me to her bedroom but I try to stop her.

"Wait, but it's your bed I can't just take it-"

"-i'll be perfectly fine. It's you who needs to get better quickly." she smiles at me as she guides me inside her room by my shoulders, making me settled beneath the blankets.

"Now I better see all of this eaten in no time. Need to keep your body filled with hot food." Sissry smiles at me as she wraps more blankets around me to a point that I was almost buried beneath them.

"I don't know what to say..." I look at the girls and they just smile at me, making my heart feel heavy.

"It's no problem!" Sissy says.

"We'll check up on you again in the morning. Of if you need anything, just wake me up." Vanya says, the girls walking off to leave the bedroom not without saying goodnight to me. I blink in surprise as the door shuts closed, looking down at the food and I try to figure out how to finish it all. I took my time with the food, feeling warmer which resulted in me feeling more sleepy. I put the stuff down on the floor before nestling back in the blankets, closing my eyes to just rest and I finally let myself fall asleep after so long.

What time is it...?

I groan softly as I wake up, blinking against the light that was blinding me and I rub my eyes before slowly sitting up. I sat there and looked around, trying to process who, what, where and when I was until I remembered last time.

I sigh softly and just lay my head in my hands, brushing my hair back in frustration before unravelling myself from the layers of blankets.

Huh, I'm not sick. Whatever was in Sissy's chicken soup has magic.

I sniffle but I felt fine, turning to the bedside table to find a glass with a toothbrush and toothpaste in it, some folded clothes and a plate of breakfast with grilled cheese and tomato soup and tea. I freshened up first and brushed my teeth, eating my breakfast before I took the clothes to realise it was a dress.

It was a soft ivory white and red polka dot midi swing dress, the sleeves just stopping above my elbows and it was quite loose and trailed down to the floor.

This dress is beautiful and so soft.

I changed into it, peeking out of the bedroom with the empty dishes and crept into the kitchen to put them away on the sink. I almost jumped out of my skin when I saw Carl sitting on the couch by himself and I head outside, not wanting to talk to him. I walk around to the back of the house, relishing in the feeling of the grass against my feet as I walked towards Sissy who was putting clothes up on the clothesline.

She turns to me, her eyes going wide and a big smile on her face. "Well look at you, aren't you a pretty little dame. That dress is gorgeous on you."

"Thank you so much for the clothes Sissy." She pats my head, shaking her head.

"No, thank you for giving this dress a second chance. It's an old dress I used to own but I outgrew it." Sissy puts a towel out on the clothesline before turning back to me. "It's a little long since you're a small and cute little thing, but it's perfect for you." I blush, looking down at myself. "You can keep it!"

"Thank you..."

"(y/n)!" I turn around and hear Vanya call for me to see her playing with Harlan. "Come join us!" I smile at Sissy before picking up the dress and running over to her as Harlan played with a kite. "Well look at you, don't you look amazing." Vanya laughs, winking at me.

"Oh shush. Sissy said I could keep the dress." Harlan waved at me, passing me his kite but I shook my head. "I don't know how to play with it. Why don't you show me, you seem like a master at it." Harlan beams, nodding before showing me tricks he could do. I cheer him on for a while until Sissy comes back to me with my clothes all folded nicely in a bag.

"Here they are. All clean."

"Thank you so much. I should actually start heading back home now." I lie through my teeth as Vanya narrows her eyes at me.

"What a shame. You could stay for lunch. You slept through breakfast." I shake my head, putting my shoes on that were finally dry from being out in the sun. 

"Someone is expecting me home but thank you so much for your hospitality Sissy. You all are so sweet. Especially you Harlan." The boy smiles at me as I wave at him goodbye before he runs inside the house.

"(y/n)..." Vanya mumbles but I shake my head.

"I'll see you later Vanya!" I turn around, waving goodbye to everyone and I run down the side of the road away from the house and away from Dallas.
