I crack the door open with me behind it and grab Hope's arm pulling her in the bathroom. "Don't say anything about my body or I'm kicking you out, got it?" She nods and I slide down the door so I'm on the floor again, she sits beside me.

"Um. . . Why weren't you at school today?"

"Because I keep throwing up hence the smell anyway why are you here? Also who else is here?" I ask her pulling my knees to my chest.

"So you've been sick all day?" I nod and she looks at my stomach then my face then back and I swear I will punch her.

"Ask it," She looks at me questioningly and I nod. "Ask what you want to."

"Bist du schwanger?" (Are you pregnant?) She asks me in German and I roll my eyes cause she doesn't want anyone to hear what she asks me.

"Ja und verdammt noch mal." (Yes and it fucking sucks.) I reply back not looking at her cause damn it I don't want this.

"Shit, what are you gonna do?"

"The only thing I can do is keep it and hope I don't ruin it."

"True since hybrids can't-"

"Finish that sentence and die." I snap and she glares at me.

"Winter. . " Hope starts then stops herself and trys again. "I don't know why you don't like what you are I mean it's awesome."

"Dude my body won't heal self-harm nor will it heal marks when I don't defend myself yeah awesome sure whatever you say."

"Everyone has their limits and no shifters body heals self-harm you goof ball you know that." She snaps back while checking my arm.

"I'm a hybrid Hope which means my body is supposed to heal better than anyone else! Anyway who else is here?"

"Um. . . Alec, Mac and Sarah."

I snap my head toward her and jerk my arm away from her, "What?" I scream loudly and then a bit quieter and deadlier. "What did you say?"

Before she can respond there's a knock on the door, "Winter are you okay? What happened?" Mitch and Mac asks at the same time and I glare at Hope who smiles sheepishly at me.

"Yeah I'm fine but um will someone bring me pants and a hoodie please?" I ask them cause I'm not going out there in a half top and shorts.

"Um why. . . Oh shit um yeah I'll get them." Mitch mumbles then he's gone and then Alec speaks.

"Why do you need those?"

"Cause I'm not walking out there with just shorts and a half top on." I snap back then feel sick again so I garb Hope's arm and make her stand. "Get out for a minute please!" She nods and I hide behind the door as she leaves then I lock it then throw up again.

After about five minutes there's another knock and I curse again, "Want your clothes now or. . ?" Mitch asks calmly and I nod then I realize he can't see me so I get up and unlock the door.

"Yeah um come in but only you cause I will murder anyone else who trys to come in." I tell them.

"Okay I'm coming in." Mitch said then he came in and locked the door behind him, "Um here." he hands me my pink hoodie and black pants so I glare at him because pink really? He just smiles.

I slip on my hoodie and pull on my sweat pants, "Thank you Mitch." I said to him as I unlock the door and walk out with him following me. The first person I see is Alec his jeans are ripped and his hair is messed up but his eyes are like really silver right now and their staring at me kinda freaking me out so I look away. Blade's brown eyes meet my jade panicked ones and this guy smiles at me so I look away from him as well. Sarah hugs me and damn it I feel sick again but I let her hug me.

"Are you okay I know you're sick but other than that?" She pulls back and looks me over, "You're really pale guys is it normal for her to be this pale?" Sarah asks the guys and Hope.

"Um I'm okay and I'm pale because I've been throwing up all day." I tell Sarah who is still holding my arms, "But um why are y'all here?" I ask looking over at Mac and Alec who both shrug and look at the girls that's when I get it. "Hope, Sarah please tell me y'all did not drag Mac and Alec here."

"Umm do you want us to tell you the truth. .?" Hope asks slowly and I glare at her and she nods slowly. "Yeah we did."

I whack the back of Sarah's head, "Ow! Why?" and then I whack Hope's head, "Owww! Winter why would you do that?" then I walk down the stairs they all follow me.

"You shouldn't brought them here because I'm fine!" I turn back toward them when I enter the living room. Blade goes into the kitchen while the girls and Mac sit on the couch and Alec stands near me. "And I thought you guys hated each other what happened to that?"

"You didn't come to school they were worried to so I brought then along. Well I brought Sarah and Mac, Sarah brought Alec." Hope said smiling at me.

"He's my best friend it's not like I'm gonna leave him behind!" Sarah snaps at Hope who just rolls her eyes not really caring.

"Do not fight in my house I will murder you both!" I snap then flop onto the couch next to Mac. Alec sits across from us in one of the blue and white chairs but he doesn't stop watching me and it's a bit weird on how much he watches me.

"They'll play nice no worries Winter." Alec smiles at me and I just kinda stare at him because something about him feels familiar but not at the same time and I don't know why.

"I hope so or else I'll have to kick their asses!" I smile a bit then lean into Mac who starts playing with my hair.

Blade comes back into the living room and sits in a chair beside Alec, "So are they staying or do I kick them out?" Blade asks me while I play with Hope's hand that I stole when Blade came in the room.

"They can stay as long as they don't fight." Mac flicks my head after I said that and I slap his hand making Sarah and Hope giggle while Blade rolls his eyes and leaves to go upstairs.

"I get to stay no matter what because I'm your best friend always have been always will be." Mac tugs on my hair to remind me that he isn't ever leaving.

"Yeah, yeah I know that but still I will kick you out." I glance up at him and he's glaring down at me so I smile.

"Stop it Winter or I will throw you across the room." Mac snaps still glaring so I tug on Hope's hand so she will distract him which she does by kissing him. "That was not fair."

"You asked for it." Hope mutters against Mac's chest smiling at me as I put my head on his chest too.

"I hate you both." Mac sighs and hugs us both while Alec stares at us with eyebrows raised.

"You love us." Hope and I said at the same time then she kisses his cheek while I hug him tighter.

"You guys seem really close." Sarah mummers from beside Hope.

"Yeah he's like a brother to me but at the same time it's like he's um how can I say this without it coming off really bad?" I ask Mac and Hope not sure how to explain our relationship to someone.

"I don't know um I've seen her naked but never had sex with her nor do I want to and she's seen Hope and I naked as well but she likes to act like I'm her older brother and I know everything about her and her me." Mac said very smoothly and calmly as if he didn't say he's seen me naked.

I slap his arm hard, "Fuck you why would you tell them that?" I ask him and slip out from under his arm so I can glare at him better.

"Relax so many people have seen you naked and so many people know that so it's not that big of a deal." My mouth drops open and I hit his arm again but harder this time.

"Is that your subtle way of calling me a slut?" I ask with a smirk at him.

"Why yes, yes it is." He laughs and pulls me back to his side.

"Jack ass!" I grumble as I settle in at his side and smile at Alec who is glaring at Mac, "No worries Alec I know what I am and I like it and Mac is just annoyed at what I do for fun." Alec continues to glare but now it's at me and not Mac.

"What you are?" Alec asks in such an odd tone that it makes me sit up and stare at him.

"That's what you choose to ask out of everything I said?" I ask genially shocked he choose to ask that out of everything.

"Uh yeah. . ?"

"What in the world are y'all talking about?" Sarah asks making me glance over at her but I don't respond.

"What Winter is, is what we're talking about." Alec glances over at Sarah then back at me. I feel both Mac and Hope tense up because this not a good thing to talk about.

But then I get up as fast as I can and run to the bathroom not even closing the door as I throw up for the hundredth time today. "Fucking hell!" I mutter pissed that it happened again.

"You okay?" Sarah asks from behind me.

"Fine give me a second." I sit back and glance over at her and see that their all there so I groan loudly. "I hate you all so much."

"You love us." Mac smiles at me but his eyes are worried.

"Stop worrying Mac I'm fine." I stand up and leave the bathroom only to be stopped by Hope who is glaring down at me.
