Ouroboros (being rewritten)

You're Still Awake ?

We were all squeezed up in Roman's car and I had no idea where he was taking us. When he finally parked, I stepped out of the vehicle and looked around to see the front of an old church surrounded by a cemetery and Norman Godfrey, Letha's father, standing in front of it waiting for us. Obviously, it belongs to them ...

"Well, it's a relief to see you're up and about Roman. But you" He said pointing to his daughter, "Or you" pointing back to his nephew, " Should have told me."

"Sorry dad, things have been a little crazy."

Norman nodded and then looked at Peter. I was expecting him to say something about his daughter and their ongoing relationship but he was actually fine with it. "Glad to see you're alright. Letha told me what that mob did to you. And what they did was a disgrace."

After that, we all went inside and it was absolutely stunning. Under all the dust and the large plastic you could distinguish each piece of furniture and I couldn't help but imagine what the place looked like back in the day. Apparently, I was the only one caring about that as Peter took his cat in his arms while Roman stroked its head.

"We closed this when we opened the new sanctuary three years ago," Norman explained to us. "Didn't get a chance to clean it up. Anyway, won't have to worry about anyone checking the ashtrays." he stopped in front of a empty bathtub and Peter put his things in it. Roman and I were looking around the place when his uncle asked to join him outside. Roman followed him out and I was left alone with the two lovers. As soon as I heard some kissing sounds I quickly, but quietly ran after Roman and Norman. They were near the cars, talking about something when Roman turned around.

"I'm getting some stuff for Peter," he said gesturing to Hemlock Acres, the rehabilitation centre across the cemetery. "Wanna come ?"

"I think I'll stay here and call my aunt. Telling her I'm fine and that I'll be home tonight."

He nodded and left with Norman.

I tried to call Donna's phone but got directly to voicemail. Weird .. I tried to call my sister and after the fourth ring she finally picked up.

"What do you want ?"

"Well, hello to you too Tessa. I'm fine, thanks for asking. Do you know where Donna is ?"

"She was tired and went to bed. But you would've known that if you had called or came by the house during those last two days."

"It's ... complicated. Can you just tell her I'll be home tonight ?"

"yeah, whatever."

And with that, she hung up. My sister and I never had a close relationship.

After a while, Roman came back with some blankets and a pillow and told Peter will see him tomorrow. Letha left with her father and Godfrey was giving me a lift home.

"You sure you don't want to stay at my house ?" He asked when he parked his car in front of my house. " I mean, with all that is happening it might be better if we stay all together you know ..."

"It's been a while I haven't spend a night with my family and you with yours. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." And with that, I kissed him on the cheek. Him being in a coma and Peter being chased by half the town, I understood how much we had to appreciate every minute we spend in each other company. At least that's what I told myself.

Dinner time was rather weird. I mean my sister put a lot of effort into making me uncomfortable and oh boy, did it work.

"So Rose, you finally decided to bless us with your company? Is everything fine with the "cool kids squad" ?" Tessa said.

Donna almost choked on her water and tried to start another topic.

"How's school sweetheart ?" she asked.

Before I had the time to answer Tessa replied.

" Well, she hasn't been there in a while."

"Alright what is your problem with me ?"

Donna and Finn tried to talk about something else but I needed to know why she was acting this way.

"My problem with you is that you can do whatever you want and nobody tells you anything. We don't even know where you're spending your days, or your nights for that matter. But it's certainly not at school and in your bed! " She yelled. She didn't even let me say something before carrying on. " Donna has to pick you up from the police station but no, you're the perfect niece, the role model of this family !"

I didn't know she had that much hatred towards me and I didn't want to fight tonight.

"Thanks, Donna, it was really good but I'm not hungry anymore." Finn tried to stop me but I was really tired. "I'm going to sleep, I'll see you in the morning."

I went up in my bedroom and lay down on my bed.    A wave of exhaustion suddenly came over me and I had trouble keeping my eyes open. I was about to fall asleep when I heard a noise coming from my phone. I reached to get it and managed to read it but fall asleep before having the time to answer it.

You're still up? coming from Roman Godfrey.
