In the second period, Anna and I got to our new class where we saw Mia, Lizzie, and Lena cuddling up on one of the desks. We smiled at them as we took our seats in the back. "I think it's adorable Lizzie has two saviors with her at all times. Like I am definitely more the monogamous person. But if they are happy one day, I will not stand in their way. If they just wanna be friends, I will support this too."

I stared at her for a little longer until I responded. "I think so too. As long as they are happy, I am happy for them as well. It doesn't matter what we would do, it matters how they feel." We grinned at each other and laughed for literally no reason at each other until our beloved teacher came in.

Class was boring as well as the other classes until lunch where Anna and I went to the cafeteria to our table. It was the biggest one as we were the biggest and most famous group. We held each other's hands as we got seated and Lizzie looked at me. She whispered: "I want to tell them why I reacted this way, can you support me and tell them?" I nodded.

"Hey gays, listen up. There is something important Lizzie wants to say but I will speak for her." I got everyone's attention quickly and I took a long breath to speak up. "Lizzie not only has PTSD but whenever she has a panic attack, her mind plays a scenario which hasn't happened but she thinks it has due to her memories replaying this event in her brain. This is why she needs someone with her 24/7. I now know she needs more protection that I can't give her and this is why I want Lena and Mia to be her protectors during school and if you hang out together."

Everyone came to Lizzie and hugged her tightly, wishing they could take the pain away from her. Then I felt a tight hug from behind. The person whispered in my ear: "I am proud of you for being so tough for your sister. You should be proud of yourself but you can let your walls down around me." Anna. It was Anna. I might or might not be freaking out in my head. I tried to enjoy the hug while it lasted. I turned around and smiled at her. "Thank you, Anna. Thank you for everything your family has done for my family. We are forever thankful and if there is anything we can do, let us know." We stared at each other for way too long and suddenly we were torn apart by our friends as the bell rang already.

After school was over, I got to my car and waited for Mia and Lizzie to come out when I saw the lovely and cute/adorable trio getting out of the school building. I knew for that moment, they were the happiest people. Enjoying each other's present, knowing they belong together and just living life.

"Hey sisss" "Hey McMamas" "Hey Ag". I smiled at them and waved. "You wanna come with us Lena?" She nodded. "I already told Anna I would ask you due to what you said. We need to protect her whenever we can." We all got in the car. "Girls, you do know I only made you her protections as you all have a crush on each other, right?" I giggled as I drove to the Shumate house while the backseat was full of red faces.

As we entered the house, we heard loud screams which definitely were Brandon and Tommy. When we got to the living room, I saw Brandon on top of Tommy, tickling him to death. I smiled. "Hey boys, where's Anna?" They pointed upstairs. I quickly got upstairs and knocked on Annas door. "Come innn."

I got in and smiled through the door. "Hey Booonnnn, whatchaaa doinnnn?" She giggled at me and stood up. "Nothing important, just homework and waiting for you and Lucas. You brought him, right?" Fuck... "Totallyyyyyyy, I definitely didn't forget that boy." She hit me slightly thinking it could hurt me, ahh she's such a bottom you can't imagine.
