[Vic's POV]

Its been a challenge, but Rosie is doing okay now.

She eats a little bit more now, and has been 5 weeks clean so far.

Right now, we were having a day off and me and Danielle were on a date, since she insisted.

"You've been worrying about Rosie nonstop lately," she said.

"Well, why shouldn't I?" I asked. "She's my sister."

"I know, but you really should give her some space," she said. "Not in a bad way. Just, you know, let her breathe for a bit. She could feel pressured and nervous if you're constantly on her."

I thought about it.

"I guess you could be right, but, I don't know," I said, feeling a little doubt in what she was saying.

"Just give her some time to herself, Vic. Even a little," she suggested.

"Let me think about it," I said.

She nodded and sighed as we kept walking.

[Mike's POV]

"Got any 3's?" I asked, looking at my deck.

"Nope," Rosie said, making me reach into the deck.

"I don't even know how to play this, dude," she frowned.

"Yeah, I know," I said with a sigh. "Wanna just watch a movie?"

She tossed the cards up in the air with a flick of her wrist. "Definitely."

I tossed mine as well and we went to the lounge room and I popped in Coraline.

Alysha was already there and I cuddled with her while Rosie laid her head on my lap cuddled with her Spiderman blankie that Jaime got her.

As we watched the movie, I noticed she was rubbing her bandaged arms and looking bothered.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Me esta picando...." She said, looking bothered. (Its itching....)

I knew what she meant, since it happened to Vic. She's getting her urges.

"It'll be okay. Just find something to distract yourself from it, like the movie, or draw or something," I said.

She nodded and decided to get up and go to her bunks, coming back with her sketchbook and pencils and back to her spot and started to doodle.

Jaime, Tony, Jessica and Erin soon joined us to watch the movie before Vic and Danielle came back from their walk, then joining us.

At least it was a day off, so not much to do today.

[Rosie's POV]

The urge was getting strong, but I had to hold it in.

I don't want to slip again.

I decided to draw something of how I felt at the moment. I had a pretty bad nightmare, so I went with that.

I just drew while everyone watched a movie and saw the urge to grab my blades was fading.

Once I finished and signed, Mike looked over and frowned, pulling me into a hug as I sniffled softly and curled into his side, then falling asleep with my notebook close to my chest, hoping for a good dream this time.

[Mike's POV]

Rosie soon fell asleep next to me.

I got her sketchbook, frowning at the drawing, and closing her book.

I set it aside with her pencil and eraser before scooping her up and deciding to put her in her bunk.

I pulled the covers over her as she slept and then went to see everyone asleep, then got Alysha, and laid her down before climbing into our bunk, and we curled up to sleep.
