You were all in the house and Kate made the suggestion to go buy a new fish for the Koi pond, but Flora didn't look so sure.

"What if I ask my special friend? Want me to try?" Mikes asked her. She nodded.

Miles turned to a mirror beside him and said to it, "Will you keep me and Flora safe? You will?" Nothing was heard or seen.

"Kate and Y/N too?" Flora asked him.

"Kate and Y/N too?" Miles asked the mirror. There was a pause and Miles turned to Flora.

"He says there's nothing to worry about" he told his little sister.

She ran off to get her coat when Kate said, "Nice job Miles". She was impressed with his tactic to help his sister.

"He also thinks your tattoo is sexy" he told her.

Kate froze and you looked at her. She touched the back of her neck where her tattoo was.

"Come on" Miles grabbed your hand and took you to the front of the house.

"He also said you have a neat scar" he whispered in your ear.

You stopped. You had a large scar on the back of your neck that stretched down to your shoulder and back. From the car crash. You never wanted anyone to see it, how would Miles know about it?

"What?" he asked confused.

This house just kept reminding you of those horrid memories of the glass shattering and the screams ringing in your ears as the car flipped multiple times.

"Nothing" you whispered. You tried to shake it off but all those memories you tried to forget came back to you.

You both grabbed your coats and went into the car. Miles sat upfront with Kate and you sat behind with Flora. Flora was getting nervous and she started to panic as Kate drove up to the gate. It was the place where she saw her parents killed.

"Please stop, I don't want to go" she said scared.

"Oh, no honey we're almost at the gate, we'll be fine" Kate reassured her.

"Stop! I don't want to go!" she yelled.

She unbuckled herself and tried to open the doors but it was locked. She climbed over you to try to open the other door but it was also locked.

"I want to get out, let me out!" she yelled. She grasped you tightly and you held her on your lap, not letting her go.

"Kate, stop the car" you told her. You started to take your seat belt off.

"No, leave your seat belt on" she said. You were getting nervous, the car seemed to shrink and you panicked.

"Kate, open the damn car!" you yelled at her.

"Stop the car" Miles told Kate.

"Miles I don't wanna die" Flora cried.

Your seatbelt strapped you tight to the car as the car tumbled multiple times. Your mother's screams echoed in your ears as your heart kept racing. Glass pierced across your skin and you felt your ankle twist. I don't want to die, you thought, I don't want to die.

"Son of a bitch Kate! Stop the car!" you yelled.

Kate was surprised and frightened for what was happening but she kept driving. You usually didn't get like this when you got in a car, but Flora was only little and she reminded you of that one night. You had to get out, your breathing was getting heavy, and you felt the space around you getting smaller.

"Stop the car or I'll fucking kill you!" Miles yelled.

Kate then stopped the car. Miles unlocked the doors and you pushed yours open, carrying Flora tightly in your arms. You started to walk fast to the house but waited for Miles.

He slammed the door shut on Kate and said, "I know what your afraid of, keeping the lights on won't keep you safe"

Miles walked towards you and Flora and you all walked to the house.

"You okay?" he asked, putting his hand on the small of your back. You nodded as your jaw was clenched in fear.

Flora was still shaking in your arms and you took her to the living room and sat her down on the couch.

"You alright?" you asked her, putting a hand on her cheek. She nodded.

"Flora? Flora?" You both heard Kate coming through the house to the living room.

"Leave her alone" Miles warned her, but Kate went up to his sister.

"Flora, can you look at me?" she asked. You moved and stood beside Miles in front of them.

"She doesn't want to talk to you, you terrified her" Miles told her. "Where'd they find you anyways?"

"You know you need to stop talking to me like that" Kate looked at him.

"You're not our mother, you're not our family. Stop pretending to be" he told her.

Kate looked hurt but a bit mad. She looked at you to defend her but you only shook your head slightly.

"Alright, I'll .. I'm leaving" she stood up.

"Yeah, just leave. Leave like everyone else" Miles told her.

Before she left the room, she stood beside you and waited for you to come with her, but you didn't look at her. Miles glared at her beside you and his cold stare made Kate leave you alone and she left the room.

You and Miles took Flora to her bed and told her goodnight. Miles really liked the fact that you were kind to his sister, you respected her unlike Kate. You respected him as well, that's what he liked most about you.

"Come with me" Miles took your hand in his and led you throughout the dark house. You were still shaken up from the incident but the feeling of Miles' hand in yours made you feel calm.

He took you to his room. He had a set of drums and guitars. His room was awesome. You were looking at all his albums and records.

"I like your-"

But you got cut off when Miles crashed his lips on yours. You were surprised but you kissed him back. He put a soft hand on your cheek and the other on your waist as you put yours behind his neck and on his chest. His lips were so soft but needy to yours. He pulled you against his body and was possessive on your lips, and you let him be. He pushed you against the wall and you raised your thigh up on his waist as his lips kept giving pleasure to yours. He had to pull back when he heard steps creaking on the floor coming to his room.

Kate knocked on his door and entered, she saw Miles at the drum set and you were on his bed. She looked confused at why you were in his room but didn't ask.

"I uh, got you something in town. It's, um ... it's just this great album" she showed him an album and put it on his desk.

"Thanks" he said.

"So, I know how close you and Quint were" Kate started to say. You sat up against the pillow on the bed as you listened.

"Yeah. He was my friend" he told her.

"That must've been really tough" she said but Miles didn't say anything. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really" he said.

"Well, you know, something kind of similar happened to me when I was your age" she started to say but Miles banged his drumsticks on the drums.

"... and I'd wished I had someone to talk to" she said. Miles banged the drums again.

"Okay, look, I'm not trying to replace Quint" but Miles banged his drums louder. He clearly did not want to talk about that specific topic and Kate was getting annoyed.

"Can you stop?" Kate asked him annoyed, but Miles continued.

"Miles"

He banged it again and louder, he looked distressed.

"Can you please stop?" Kate said loudly. He continued to beat the drums.

Kate turned and started to head out the door but she gave you a cold look before she left. Miles put his sticks down and laid beside you on the bed.

"Finally, now... " he said looking in your eyes. You smirked.

"Where were we?" he teased.

You laughed and you both continued to kiss. That night became unforgettable because all that kissing turned into something more .. steamy.
