The Olympic Brothers--"Weathered"

**I don't own the song "Weathered" by Creed...Gee willickers, Dre, who could then?!**

Sophie and Peter walked into the den, which had been unusually overtaken by quietness. All the Cliffhangers were spread around the fire, sleeping. Sophie knew that the girls had been so excited (for the most part) of the olympics so they had been staying up later. Peter knew that the boys, no matter how tough they acted, really missed going to the orphanage and had been staying up over that.

~I lie awake on a long, dark night I can't seem to tame my mind Slings and arrows are killing me inside Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine No I can't accept the life that's mine~

Sophie smiled and layed her head on Peter's shoulder and observed the room. All the kids had grown mentally, and some physically. She also knew that they were physically and mentally beaten at the moment.

~Simple living is my desperate cry Been trading love with indifference yeah it suits me just fine I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone Maybe that's why I feel alone Maybe that's why I feel so alone~

Since all had them had arrived, they had overcame their nightmares. Shelby was snuggled up to Scott, and he had a protective arm around her, maybe not even knowing it.

~Me.I'm rusted and weathered Barely holding together I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal~

Daisy, Ezra and David were all in their own corner. Daisy was between them, and David had obviously been forced at least three feet away, and Ezra had just snuck by with two and a half feet.

Ezra also had a strangely content look on his face as he breethed deeply, occasionally releasing a light snore. When he had came, he had been beyond angry to even where Peter was questioning himself. But now, he was better, for the most part. He had returned to his love for directing movies, and he wasn't really an outcast here.

~The sun shines and I can't avoid the light I think I'm holding on to life too tight Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Sometimes I feel like giving up Sometimes I feel like giving up~

Juliette, Kat and and Auggie were in another corner. Juliette had her head on AUggie's chest, and he, too, had a protective arm around her. Kat was sleeping on her side on the other side of Auggie. Sophie noticed that Jules was finally gaining weight. After months of observing and enforcing her meals, it was finally paying off. Auggie, too, was much better. Kat had indefinately improved. Most of the time, she no longer felt guilty for her sister's death. Now she had another "little sister" to take care of; Kristin.

~Me.I'm rusted and weathered Barely holding together I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal~

COle and Kristin. They were sleeping in front of the fireplaces. Kristin was so different now, then she had been. She no longer looked behind her, and she no longer was too little to be healthy, although she still wasn't the size of a normal thirteen-year-old. Cole still had more demons that needed to heal, because he hadn't been here as long as the others. Sophie looked at Cole's face. He wasn't as content as the others, but he wasn't as angry as he had been. That was a little better, but he was progressing so Sophie didn't have to worry.

~The day reminds me of you The night hides your truth The earth is a voice Speaking to you Take all this pride And leave it behind Because one day it ends One day we die Believe what you will That is your right But I choose to win So I choose to fight To fight ~

"They're fine, Soph," Peter said, kissing her head. "I know...For now." He smiled at her.

"Forever."

**Hope ya liked it! I'm pretty satisfied with this one..I think it's kinda symbolic. Stay tuned for "DENIAL" tonight or tomorrow!**
