Calla's POV

A loud noise rang in my head as tears began to fall from my eyes. My legs were weak making my body heavy to carry,I collapsed on the floor beside the bed. The room was spinning and all I could think of was what had happened to my mother. I wanted to be with her. The rain splattered hard on the window steel and the sound of thunder echoes tremendous. My blurry vision could only amplify James running towards me as I began to cry profusely.

He wrapped his arms around me and sat on the floor with me.

"It's okay.. it's okay..." He mutters as he used his fingers to softly brush through my hair. A few minutes later,my bitter tears was replaced with silence and the pouring rain was replaced with cool breeze slightly hitting the windows. I sat up and I could feel James hands releasing me.

He had a towel tied around his waist. He got up and began to wear his pants back. I tried to stifled the flush of adrenaline rush that consumed me. One moment,I was worshipping his body and the

    Calla's POV "Finally home!" Ginny said as she tossed the bags on the floor. We had spent the day shopping and Ginny needed to stack up for Thanksgiving tomorrow so we ended by walking around the mall longer than expected."I can't believe that guy tried to rub his guacamole hands on us." I said in disbelief. I walked in and helped her place the turkey in the fridge before heading back to collapse beside her on the living room carpet."I swear,the mall is full of weirdos." Ginny said."Uh-uhn..." I agreed.She got up abruptly and began to search through one of the bags for the dress she picked out in the mall. "OMG...I can't wait to try my dress on." She giggled and dashed to her bedroom.I followed behind her, leaving the remaining bags scattered around in the living room. Right before I entered Ginny's room. I stopped to stare at Asher's room door that was locked. He has been a scarce sight since the night of their birthday party.Disappointment washed over Ginny's face as she stood

    James' POV "Woah-- I missed a lot." Vinora said. I had just finished lunch when my sister called to check up on me. It was Halloween and everywhere was filled with creepy decorations and party preparation. Gus and I didn't go to work,so it was a very slow day until Vinora's call came in. We spoke for long and I ended up telling her about everything dad did when we were in Boston. Even more vulnerable,I opened up to her about Calla. "Yeah".My therapist says it would be easy to regulate my nervous system if I spoke to people I'm close to about my struggles. So far,Calla and Gus were the only two people who knew about what I was going through. Now,Vinora knows. I felt free telling her because we always shared a bond since we were little. Sometimes we'd joke about it being so because we were bonded by our childhood trauma. Regardless,she was my sister and my first true friend and I loved her. And like my therapist said 'talk to someone,you just need one true friend in your corner.'

    Calla's POV The next few weeks since Asher and Ginny's birthday party had been very busy for me. It was the lunch of our first Halloween line and even though we weren't officially open here in New York,we were still creating lines before the official opening. Our autumn and Halloween line were ready before our official lunch by New Year's.After work,I went back home. I almost had an heart attack as a figure jumped in front of me the moment I stepped inside my apartment. I tried to catch my breath when Ginny removed the head of the chicken costume she was dressed in."Oh my God!" I screamed as I tried to recover from the shock I was experiencing."Happy Halloween!" She yelled with a big and fulfilled smile on her face."Ginny,I gave you an emergency key ,not a give-me-a-heart-attack-key."Her laughter got louder as she ran around me making a chicken noise. I chuckled and walked further into my apartment. I dropped my bag on the couch."woah, you're really having fun with this?" I sai

    James' POV "Welcome back James." My therapist said. I was back on the large sofa covered in pillows in the small room that looked like nature's paradise. I took a quick glance at the large frame of bird behind her ears and then,back at her."Hi." I said awkwardly. "I'm really sorry about storming off the other day." She smiled generously. "It's okay, most first interactions are with a little bit of... resistance."I sighed and picked up one of the pillows and held it in my hands. It was knitted with soft yarn and I felt a calming sensation as I held it. I couldn't put it down,it reminded of the kittened sweaters grandma use to gift us during the holidays."So let's start. Are you ready?" The asked. Her glasses rested low on her nose as she bent her head and looked at me thoroughly from above her lens. She had a dark brown eyes with gray spots that looked like little maps in her eyes. "Yeah...yes." I said.She smiles at me like she always does and opens her notepad. She crossed her

    Calla's POV"Happy birthday!" I yelled as Ginny opened the door of her apartment. September ended like a blink of an eye and I realized I had spent a month in New York. Soon,it was October and somewhere, someone was already getting ready to pull up their Christmas decorations. The 8th of October was different,in the Jonas House, because it was the twins birthday. From the moment I woke up,the bumming sound of music from apartment 4D vibrated in my apartment. Mostly, because it was directly underneath it. While Ginny had marked the entire first week of October to be her birth week, I haven't seen Asher anywhere.I walked into the apartment with the cake and a big smile on my face.She pretends to wipe tears from her eyes before she collected it from me. "Aww...thank's Calla!""You're welcome." I said as I walked in.She placed the box of cake on the kitchen counter top and opened it. She used her index finger to take a scoop of the frosting into her mouth and smiled brightly at me,it

    James' POV "Hello James." A middle age woman with a thick framed glasses sat opposite me with a notepad in her hands.I smiled and adjusted my back in order to be comfortable on the chair. "Hello."I finally decided to give a call to the number on the therapist card Gus gave me. I booked an appointment and it was my first session. The room was very nature themed. It had wooden decorations,plants and fresh flowers displayed around. There were pictures of birds. So many birds. Different types,painted,printed and some were hand sketched. They were all framed and hung in the wall.The women had a very distinct smile,it wasn't too wide because it will feel forced but it also wasn't narrow. It was a perfect measure of warmth that a smile can produce. "Are you comfortable?" She asked.I nodded."Why don't you go ahead and tell me about yourself?" She smiled.She had a perfectly done veneer and her glass rested on the tip of her nose. She a thick locks for hair and her skin was brown like le
