*River*
"Thank you for helping me with it". Kira looks up at me through her lashes as she closer the math book.

I send her a warm smile. "No problem, it's kind of an easy subject for me".

The last week we have spend time together almost every day. At first I just wanted to get close to her to find out why she lied about Zac.. But to be honest I like her, both as a friend and, well maybe a little bit more than that.

"Everything is easy for you". She kind of breathes out saying it. "You are good at school, and music, even at arcade games. And people like you, no one like me".

"I like you". I say softly, feeling my cheeks flush. "But I am sure others like you too, your family".

She shakes her head. "My father left us 4 years ago and my mother drink to much, she is always.. angry or sad. My brother has moved out, but he never likes me either and in school they tease me. I only have my aunt, she is nice to me".

"I am sorry that your family is like that, everyone deserves a good family". I reach out to gently touch her arm. "But I am happy to hear that you have your aunt at least".

"Yeah, even though.. well she kind of make me do stuff for her I don't like so much". She bites her lip, then she look at me. "What about your family ? Your mom seems great".

I have to grab this straw, hoping she likes and trust me enough. "My mom is great, really the sweetest.. but.. I feel so bad for her".

"Why ? Did something happen ?" She looks at me curiously.

I sigh. "Well, she Met this great guy, one of my teachers actually. They were so happy and so in love".

"Sounds like you likes him too.. what happened ?" She is hanging at my every word.

"I do like him, for the first time I felt I might be getting a father". I shake my head. "Now he is in jail.. they say he was using his power as a teacher to sleep with students. Most turned out to be fake and misunderstandings. But.. there is still one girl claiming he slept with her.. I know he didn't".

She suddenly look pale, fiddling with her hands and then years start spilling down her cheeks. "Oh.. I am so sorry River, so sorry".

"You are sorry ? Why are you sorry ?" I hold my breath looking at her.

"It was me.. I am the one saying he.. I am that girl". She hides her face in her hands. "My aunt asked me to do it, she said he had cheated on her, used her and hit her, that he deserves it".

I shake my head slowly, rubbing my hand up and down her back. "I am sorry to tell you, but it was the other way around. And you aunt want to destroy him for not wanting her back, for choosing my mom instead".

"I am sorry I listened to her". A sob shakes her shoulders. "I wish I could undo it and I totally understand if you hate me now".

"I don't hate you, you were used and I think you are learning your lesson from your mistakes right now". I pull her into a hug. "But Kira.. you can undo this, it takes courage, but it can be done".

She looks up, her eyes red and puffy. "It can ? How ?"

"We go down to the police station and you explain everything, the real truth". I look at her, my voice slightly begging.

*Zac*
An annoyed looking guard is dragging me out of my cell. "Hey relax man, what is going on ?"

"You are getting released, apparently your little girlfriend regretted telling on you and as the only proof is her testimony, well we have to let out your child raping ass". He spits at me.

I know I should be happy, but this.. his attitude, I know I will meet it again and again in the future. Being accused of this is enough to mess up your life, no matter if you are cleared, some people will always go by the saying, no smoke without a fire.

So I just stand there, as I am taken through the procedures, handed my things and walk to the gate. Sorry we ruined your life, goodbye.

"Zac !" I hear Harmony's voice as soon as I step out into the sunshine, then River's as an echo and two second later I am almost tackled as Harmony throws herself around my neck.

She shower my face with kisses, tears streaming down her face. And without thinking I grab her, pulling her into me. "You are here, you.. you are really here".

"Of course Zac, I would have come to the ends of the earth for you". She answers. I don't say anything, but just kiss her like my life depends on it.

River clears his throat. "Guys I know you are happy to see each other, but could you wait with the rest til we get home. Minor present and stuff".

"Come here you rascal". I let Harmony go and pull River into a hug, planting a kiss on his forehead, making him make a disgusted sound, but I can see he is smiling happily.

"What about we go home ? I am sure you could use a good dinner, a long warm bath and a massage". Harmony say softly, placing her hand on my upper arm. "Tell me did you spend every second those three weeks working out ?".

I flex my bicep. "Well, not much else to do. But yeah all of that sounds.. Amazing darling".

I slip an arm around Harmony's waist and one around River's shoulders, leading them both to the car. Whatever else may happen, at least I have my family.
