"Boy, it's a good thing you drew me a picture..." The tattoo artist says sarcastically
"Hey, Scott! You sure you don't want something like this?" Stiles asks showing a creature that's looks like the Kanima
"Too soon?" He asks.

"Yeah. How did you even convince dad to allow you to have one" He asks his sister
"Unlike you he trusts me and I'm going after Scott and it's the phases of the moon." She says
"I don't know, man. Are you sure about this? I mean, these things are pretty permanent, you know?" Stiles says.

"I'm not changing my mind." Scott says
"Neither am I." Rayne says
"Okay, but why two bands?" He asks Scott.

"I just like it." He says
"But don't you think your first tattoo should have some sort of meaning? You know, or something?" Stiles asks
"Getting a tattoo means something."

"I don't think that's-" Stiles goes to say
"He's right. Tattooing goes back thousands of years. The Tahitian word tatua means 'to leave a mark,' like a rite of passage." The artist says
"Yeah, see? He gets it!" They say.

"He's covered in tattoos, literally." He says
"Okay, you ready?" The artist says
"You ain't got any problems with needles, do you?" He asks.

"Nope." Scott says
"I tend to get a little squeamish, though, so..." Stiles says and passes out
"I got him." Rayne says.

Then once Scott's done she sits in the chair slipping her strap down
"On your collarbone right?" He asks and she nods and holds Scott's hand
"Ouch." They both say.

🪐

As they get into the jeep Scott starts to groan in pain
"You okay?" Stiles asks with an ice pack on his head
"Kinda burns." He says.

"Yes, you just had your skin tabbed about one hundred thousand times with a needle." Stiles grimaces
"Yeah, but I don't think it's supposed to feel like this."
"I don't feel that much pain." Rayne says.

"Oh, God." Stiles says
"No, it's definitely not supposed to feel like this! Oh, I gotta take this thing off!" Scott says in pain
"No, no, no, no, Scott! Oh, Scott, please stop!" Stiles says and he takes it off and it starts to disappears into the skin.

"Oh, no! What? No, no, come on! It healed." Scott says disappointed
"Aw, thank God. I hated it." Stiles says and then Rayne hits him on the back of the head.

"Sorry."

🪐

"Nah, we agreed to give each other the summer-- no texts, no calls." Scott says
"So, then how do you know she won't be back at school, then?" Stiles asks
"After everything that happened, I'm not sure she's coming back at all." He says.

"I think she is." Rayne says noticing her friends
"I'd say it's pretty definite, you know... Like, one-hundred-percent." Stiles continues and then motions to the car next to them and Scott turns his head and then makes eye contact with her
"Oh, my God! Oh!" He says shrinking into the seat.

"Can we just drive, please? Stiles?" He asks
"Scott, it's a red light!" Stiles says
"When has that stopped you before?" His sister asks.

"I think we should talk to her. I just think we should say something." Stiles says
"No! No, no, Stiles! Come on! Oh, my God, dude, no!" Scott panics as Stiles turns the window down
"Hey!" He says and then the drive off.

"You know, they probably didn't see us." He says and they start to drive
"What are you doing?" Scott asks
"I'm driving...?" Stiles asks.

"We're right behind them." He says
"Well, that's how driving works." Rayne says patting him on the shoulder
."I don't want it to look like we're following them."

"Well, what do you want me to do?" Stiles asks
"I don't know-- anything?" Scott says and Stiles hits on the breaks and Lydia stops then a deer comes out of nowhere and hits Lydia's car.

Then the three of them rush out the car and run to them as they get out the car
"Are you okay?" Scott asks Allison
"It came out of nowhere!" Lydia says.

"Are you hurt?" Stiles asks
"It ran right into us!" She says
"Are you okay?" Scott asks Allison.

"I'm okay." She nods
"Well, I'm not okay! I am totally freaking out! How the hell does it just run into us? I saw it's eyes right before it hit us, and it was like it... It was like it was crazy." Lydia says and Scott turns to see Rayne looking at the deer and he walks to her
"No, it was scared." He says.

"Actually, terrified."

Rayne's outfit

🪐

"So, you're bisexual?" Allison asks at the lockers
"Yeah, I decided to give males a chance, hopefully I won't regret it. I mean Erica told me to move on and the only men I like are fictional or celebrities, so why not." Rayne says
"And you haven't talked to her?" She asks and Rayne shakes her head.

"Freshmen. Tons and tons of fresh men..." Lydia says walking to them
"You mean fresh boys. Lydia, they're fourteen." Allison says
"I know right? Cougar." Rayne coughs and Lydia hits Rayne's shoulder.

"Some are more mature than others." She says
"You know, it's okay to be single. Focus on yourself for a little while. Work on becoming a better person." Allison reassures
"Allison, I love you. So, if you need to do that thing where we talk about me and pretend like we're not actually talking about you, it's totally fine. But I don't want a boyfriend. I want a distraction." Lydia says.

Then 2 boys come down the hall in leather jackets with motorbike helmets
"Brothers?" Allison asks
"Twins." Lydia and Rayne say and they both look at Rayne.

"I- uh- need to go see Danny." She quickly says and walks away
"Wow, never thought I'd see the day." Lydia says and then turns back to Allison
"Rayne likes men." She says.

"I never thought Rayne would like men." Allison says
"Neither did she."

🪐

"Danny! Hot twins 2 o'clock." Rayne says rushing to this side
"Oh, look at you." Danny says
"You understand my world." He says and they stop to see them.

"One of them gotta be gay." He says
"Oh definitely." She agrees and they both laugh
"Okay, I need to see Melissa." She says and then kisses him on the cheek.

🪐

Rayne walked into the elevator when she saw a blind man walking her way and she held the door open for him
"Thank you, could you please hit the button for the second floor please?" His voice hits her ears as the sense of familiarity comes back
"Sure." She says and hits the button and it starts to close and then open again once they're on the second floor.

"Would you like some help?" She asks
"That would be lovely, thank you." He says and puts his hand on her shoulder
"You remind me of my daughter, very passionate and kind. Unfortunately, she had an accident when she was little and she passed." The man says.

"Well, no one is truly gone forever, not even in death, there's always little sighs of something." Rayne smiles and he smiles a bit as well.

"Thank you for the help." He says and she smiles and he walks into a room and Rayne was into another where Melissa is
"Sorry I am late but I'm here." Rayne says and sits down.

"So, how are you?"
"I'm better, I got over Erica and yeah, I still miss her. Um, I, I decided to try new things like dating guys which is weird." She laughs nervously
"I mean how are thing like sleep and your mood?" Melissa asks.

"The meds are working, so I have been sleeping more. My mood has been usual, I still get dreams of people. Dead people but that's only if I nap during the day." Rayne says
"Well, it's good that the meds are still working, maybe once a week you can spend the day at mine when I have my day off and I can monitor you." She says
"No, that's you day off. Spend it with Scott." Rayne dismisses.

"Rayne, you are like the daughter I never had, trust me, it's okay." Melissa says and Rayne nods
"Thanks."
"No problem." She says.

🪐

"Rayne! Are you going to Heather's party?" Stiles asks his sister
"Can't, I need to go to bed early since I have naps during the day my meds need to kick in so I can't. Tell her happy birthday for me. Don't do anything I would do." Rayne says as she looks on her laptop
"Easy enough, goodnight love you." He says and rushes away.

"Love you too!" She shouts and sighs and then goes into her bathroom and then takes out her meds and then swallows it with some water she had on her nightstand. Then she takes out some pain medication and swallows that as well.

The problem was that she wasn't it pain, well physically, mentally she in agony but it made her body feel numb and if her body felt numb then so did her mind, she always took the most you needed nothing more, she didn't want to have to go to hospital because she o'd on pain meds.

"You're so fucked up." She whispers to herself.

To her numb was better then feeling how she really felt.

In agony.
