Laura left the gym a few minutes ago. Ashton and I have just been lifting some weights. I can feel Devin staring at us and it's starting to get annoying.

Like I get it you guys were best friends, but don't be mad at me because she isn't the same person she was when you left

I admit I feel bad for the guy. I mean, finding out your childhood best friend is your current friends' long lost sister is pretty crazy. Especially because Laura was so detached from him at lunch.

She's been pretty detached ever since she came back....

I know Laura has been brushing off what is going through her head and that's making me nervous. She's always inside her head.

I mean I didn't know Laura before Devin left, but when we were younger she would always ask us if we were going to leave her. Later Ashton and I understood what she meant.

Laura is like a ticking time bomb. I love her to death, but the smallest things can completely set her off. I just worry about her.

After another 30 minutes of lifting, Ash and I decide to call it a day. Some of the guys have already dispersed including Alessandro.

He's a scary mother fucker

I doubt he could tell I think that, but he's definitely still intimidating

We exit the gym and go back upstairs to Laura's room. We knock on the door hearing a "come in."

Ash and I enter her room shutting the door behind us. "Hey guys" Laura says in a soft voice.

She's working on her computer sitting on top of the covers on her bed. Her hair is parted down the middle like usual, but it's wet so I'm assuming she followed through with her plan of taking a shower. She's wearing casual black clothes covering every inch of her body besides her neck.

The scars

Fuck she's probably worried about them finding out

I would be stressed too if I was her and my new biological family wanted to be around me 24/7

"Hey baby" We reply

I swear Ashton and I are fucking twins

"If you guys want to shower you can use my bathroom. There's extra towels under the sink. In my closet I have some of your clothes that I stole." She tells us, lightly laughing at the mention of her stealing out clothes. "When I came up here I made a little section in my closet so you can find them easier." She completes pointing to her closet door

Ash and I just laugh at her introduction. "Thank you baby. I appreciate it." I say standing next to her bed

She looks up from her laptop and sends me a soft smile. Ashton stands next to me after looking around her room a little more. "We don't have boxers" He states in realization
