"She's asleep. Never evne knew I left."

"She was when you left."
____

Faun was awake, after sending Noah and Rebekah to the pack to keep an eye on things. "He hates me." She whispered to her mum.

"Who hates you?" Peyton whispered, rubbing her arm gently.

----
"I failed her.. I fail everyone. I don't want to go back."

"Harrison."
____

"She needs you, don't leave her like so many others."

"Don't desrve to be breathing."

----
"Why do you think that?" Peyton frowned.

"He's not come. Back." She whispered. "He always comes to see me before a shift." She felt tears falling. "What if this has made him realise that he doesn't love me?"
______

"She can't do this without you." He told him. "If you leave her now than I promise you that Faun will not want to carry on."

"I don't want to carry on." He mumbled.

---
"That's not true," Peyton soothed softly, "Your father is with him, they're lrobably having a heart to heart."

"I know you feel like that, but you still have people to depend on you." He told him. "You have Faun, your pack, you have a chance to live a life for your son, to avenge him, so don't let what your father told you your whole life be true."
______

"Then why haven't they come back?" She asked, she sounded so sad and on the verge of tears it was a miracle she hadn't started crying. "I need my dad, I need Harrison, why have they just left me?" She asked suddenly sobbing. "Are you going to leave me too?"

"No, no I'm not going to leave you. I'm here, Faun.. I'm right here princess." She whispered, tightening her arms around her. Kissing the side of his head, "The boys will be back soon, don't worry. No one has left you."

----
Harrison just curled in on himself.

"Right, you do as you want, I'm going to see the girl we both love so she doesn't think one of us had abandoned her." He told him. "You wallow if you want, but don't forget what you feel. Right now is nothing compared to what she feels."
_________

"I need them. Now." She whispered.

"We've gone through the same thing as each other, fuck you Koby. Either you want me to grieve or you don't, I'm allowed to do it in my own way!"

---
"I know, don't worry.. They'll be back soon."

"Not when you MAKE Faun feel. Worse." He told him.
______

She started sobbing.

"I'll be there before the shift or just after.. Leave me alone! You don't know me."

---
"Sshh," Peyton soothed, rubbing her back gently as she rocked with her. "No one has left you, everyone is here. Your dad and Harrison will be home soon."

"This is all my fault." She whispered.
_____

"As you wish."

He skiled. "Thanks mum."

Harrison was quiet then watching the floor.

----
"Nothing is your fault."

"I should have protected him."
__

Koby walked to where Faun and Harrison lved, knowing that Faun would be there.

"You done all you could," Peyton soothed lightly.

"Yeah we'll be here."
_____

Faun lay back on her bed.

Peyton sighed, just watching her.

She could. Not cry anymore, she just stated blankly at the ceiling. "I feel empty."

"You will for a little while. There isn't anything wrong with that."

She looked like she wanted to cry all over again. "I keep seeing what they did to him before they slit my throat."
