Echo of cognition(Book 3 of Forgotten Series)

Chapter 25

Drakes Perspective

Silly Idiot.

Watching the midget run from the kitchen without eating had me almost breaking the counter. She was in the kitchen. How the hell could she forget to eat again?

I made a plate and stalked from the kitchen just about ready to punch her in the face. She was in fetile position on the floor crying loud. I rolled my eyes and stopped advancing on her.

She kept mumbling Korys name meaning she was going against what everyone had told her. Why am I not surprised?

Watching her made me remember when Kory would leave her when she was younger and the devastation she would be showing. It was hard not to see how much him leaving for any amount of time effected her.

Im not going to punch her.

Keep her busy for me. Your really good at cheering her up when she gets like this. Ill be back in a few days. She'll be sleeping in about 2 hours.

Of course she'll cry herself to sleep. I sat next to her and saw her look up at me with those eyes of hers. I put my elbow on her head and tried to find something to say that wasnt to nice but wasnt harsh either.

" How could you forget to eat again? Im starting to think your trying to diet or something."

I waited for her to say something but when she didnt I decided to move my arm causing her head to shake around as well. I loved doing this because it was fun. She usually just sat there and let me do not even getting angry. Normal people would get irritated.

She choked out at last."Why is he always doing this to me?"

I smiled at that but fixed my face." Hes coming right back now eat the food."

"No!" She yelled.

I jumped a bit by her volume then I growled but fixed my anger."Eat the food."

"I want Kory!"

Like I dont know that. Shes only done this a million times. Now im baby sitting her."Eat the damn food. Im losing my patience. " I moved my elbow and she stared at me with her wet eyes and snotty nose. Egh. Fine...."I know how you feel when ever Carmen goes I feel like my life is ending."

She sniffed wiped her eyes."Right?!"

I almost laughed at how quickly she was feeling better simply because I agreed with this little brat."Come on eat with me. Eat the pain away."

She started eating sniffing I talked about my heart break over Carmen having her hug me and no longer cry. She fell asleep and I chuckled."Little brat. He said two hours." I have not been here for two whole hours already. Then again when I talk about Carmen I lose track of time. I picked up the sleeping crazy child and headed towards her room. I ran into the love of my life. Seeing her face had me feelin refreshed it was like something was on my shoulders and seeing her it was lifted. "Hey."

"She fell asleep on you? Thats something im going to tell her."

"You had better not. Hows the kids?"

"Theyre fine. Vanessa is with Grandmom/aunty."

I see."Im going to lay this thing down then ill be with you."

"Okay. Ill be in the room."

I hurried to her and Korys old room sitting her in the bed and tucking her in. Her body no longer glowed."Weirdo."

I rushed out running to Carmen. She sat on the bed wearing one of my shirts as usual. Her damp hair fell around her shoulders. I exhaled feeling my body want to be near her but....I have to shower first. I quickly showered making sure I smelled fresh. I walked out of the bathroom and slid in bed next to her. She faced me her eyes wide watching me. I smiled."What?"
