Some people are born with tragedy in their blood.

Oliver,
I shook my head, "I have far more respect for you than you would imagine Harper," I said softly. "I never recall any of that unless it's told to me." She was giving me a small gleam of hope.

Ali,
"I know," I said quietly. "and I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. You aren't psychotic." I bit my lip. "I can't take back what I said because I already said it, but I sure as hell wish I could go back."

[lauren.]

Harper.
I breathed in deeply,"Are there any other things that happened like that before you came here?"I asked chewing lightly on my lip. I can't not forgive him. I'm not that kind of person.

Gabriel.
I looked at her for a moment then sighed as I put my bowl down on the table. "Then why did you call me that?"I asked crossing my arms.

[haileyjordan]

Oliver,
I rubbed the back of my neck, "That crucial? No. But I frequently slept walked. I've left the house numerous times but that's as drastic as it got." I told her. I was curious as to why I went to the extremes. Was it because I was never really affectionate towards someone before?

Ali,
"Because well...because I don't know. I was upset, it seemed like the right thing to say at the time. I didn't realize how hurtful words were." I said. He was making me feel worse and worse. "I screwed up Gabe, okay?"

[lauren.]

Harper.
I was quiet for a moment,"Then why did that happen to me?"I asked running a hand through my hair.

Gabriel.
I ran a hand down my face and looked at her with tired eyes,"Okay,"I said breathing in deeply.

[haileyjordan]

Oliver,
I looked at her for a moment, "Because I really like you, Harper. I guess I've never really been able to form any relationships with anybody before so I think my body is trying to rebel against me. It's not used to it," I shrugged. That was the only legit logic I could think of.

Ali,
"I don't know if you really mean it. I know you're still upset with me," I said quietly. His 'okay' didn't assure me that things were really okay. He sounded like he just wanted the conversation to end.

[lauren.]

Harper.
I stretched my arms out, looking at them,"You said something last night...before everything happened,"I said biting my lip as I looked over at him.

Gabriel.
I sighed and rolled my eyes,"Ali, I mean it. I forgive you,"I said looking at her seriously. I held my arms open, raising an eyebrow.

[haileyjordan]

Oliver,
I looked over at her. Oh no. What now? "What did I say?..." I asked, not knowing if I wanted to know the answer. Talking in your sleep was almost as bad as sleep walking.

Ali,
"I'm so sorry," I said again before I met his embrace, wrapping my arms around his waist. It felt so good to be in his arms, but a small part of me still felt like everything wasn't perfectly okay.

[lauren.]

Harper.
I paused for a moment, chewing on my lip,"Well you said... that... You loved me,"I said not looking at him for a moment. I then lifte my face to take a peak at him.

Gabriel.
I smiled slightly as I held her to me. It was nice to hold her,"Are you okay though?"I asked.

[haileyjordan]

Oliver,
I looked at her, then back down. I wasn't entirely sure what to say because I felt like that might be true. I kept quiet for a moment, pondering my answer. "Is it wrong to say that might be true?" I finally spoke.

Ali,
"I will be, eventually," I assured him. "I don't think I'll ever be fully
okay, but I'm okay with that." I looked up at him, "none of us are okay."

[lauren.]

Harper.
I was shocked, my eyes had widened. He possibly loves me? Why me? I breathed in slowly taking in what he said. "You...could possibly...love me...?"I said slowly as I continued to stare at him. Holy shit this all just took a completely different turn.

Gabriel.
I let out a small chuckle,"We'll get by. We have since we've been living,"I said looking back down at her. It was different seeing her like this. She seemed somewhat relaxed, vulnerable should I say? Definitely different from when she's angry and tense.

[haileyjordan]

Oliver,
I shrugged, "The majority of me is leaning towards yes. I just can't stay away from you Harper. I've never felt so strongly about someone the way I feel about you." I hadn't planned on saying this anytime soon, but now felt like an appropriate time.

Ali,
"I have always wondered when enough is enough. I always felt that I would never feel at peace. It was always a battle and a struggle when I was younger. Gabe I've tried committing suicide three times." I never told anyone this.

[lauren.]

Harper.
All I could do was stare at him. Did I love him back? I don't know. I haven't really thought of those feelings. I know I like him a lot but love? "Oh this is a turn of events,"I said softly as I closed my eyes for a moment.

Gabriel.
I tensed slightly as I stared at her,"Because of your anger?"I asked softly. Damn, today just kept throwing curve balls didn't it? How could she even think that?

[haileyjordan]

Oliver,
I chuckled slightly, "Life always keeps you guessing," I said. I guess I wasn't too surprised she didn't say anything back. I don't blame her due to everything she just went through. It wasn't even noon yet.

Ali,
I nodded, "It still crosses my mind sometimes. I cause a lot more harm than I do good. It's just really hard." I sighed. I would have really high days, and some really low days.

[lauren.]

Harper.
I took a deep breathe in, feeling slightly lightheaded,"Um, I'm going to step outside,"I said as I pushed away from the counter and headed to the back door. I stepped outside taking gulps of fresh air in. What the hell am I supposed to do now?

Gabriel.
"Have you thought about it since you've been in this house?"I asked swallowing. I didn't like this, not one bit. I moved some hair out of her face, tucking it behind her ear.

[haileyjordan]

Oliver,
I watched her go outside as I leaned against the counter. I knew her head was filled with thoughts. It was all so fast, but I still felt what I said. She made me forget about Garrett and that I was messed up. I felt normal.

Ali,
"When I first got her it was almost everyday. When I got in that fight with Oliver I did. Yesterday...was one of the worst." I told him, looking away. "I can't help it."
