Best Friends

Chapter 29

"I....I....I...." she started shaking.
"Deep breathes Baby," North said as Silas turned her around so she could hide her face as well as hear his heartbeat. "Match Silas' breathing, slow deep breaths, Baby."

Once she was able to calm down, she sniffled and hiccupped. "Can you answer him now Angelos Mou?" Silas asked as she hiccupped again.

"I don't know," she whispered as she sniffled again.

"Did you feel good when Brandon kissed you?" he asked softly. "Did you like it, like you wanted him to keep kissing you?"

"I got all tingly," She barely whispered he almost didn't hear it, "The thoughts went away, my mind was quiet. It scared me."

"Why?" North asked softly.

She hiccupped again, "I didn't want you getting mad," she barely whispered again, "and I didn't know my mind could be quiet, it scared me it wasn't filled with thoughts and I didn't know what was happening with my body, everything was too much at once."

"Okay, that's okay, Baby," North nodded. "But why would you think we would get mad?"

"Because it wasn't you or someone else," She yawned and tried to nuzzle into Silas even more.

"You thought we would be jealous?" North asked and she nodded. "Oh we aren't, Baby, we know we will each have our own time with you to kiss you when you are ready."

"Promise?" She asked as she yawned again.

"I promise," They all said and she smiled as she closed her eyes.

"Will it be soon?" She asked and they chuckled.

"Maybe," Silas said softly.

"I liked feeling special," She whispered, "I sorry I got scared," she mumbled.

"It's okay Babe," Brandon smiled softly.

"You can't leave me if I fall, I won't survive if you leave me," She mumbled as she pouted and tightened her grip on Silas' shirt. "It will kill me if I manage to fall and you leave me."

"We will never leave you," Brandon said as he kissed her forehead. "We promise we won't."

She fell asleep and North sighed, "Wow," he whispered as Silas scooted back so he was leaning against the headboard while he held her.

"We will just take it slow," Owen whispered, "let's start trying to figure out ways to deal with her fear taking over. Her first response to any kind of fear is to run and hide, how can we try and combat that?"

"Fruit cup," Raven shrugged.

"She definitely isn't ready for that," Corey shook his head.

"I don't know," Luke shrugged, "it may just give her the reassurance she needs and wants."

"A collar?" Nathan asked.

"I don't know if she will feel comfortable with that," Axel shook his head.

"Promise or engagement ring?" Victor asked. "It's something everyone understands."

"I actually fucking have one for her," Gabe shrugged.

"What?" Kota asked shocked.

"I ordered it like a long ass time ago, just waiting for the right fucking time," Gabe shrugged again.

"I say go ahead and put it on her finger and see how she reacts when she wakes up," Luke smirked.

An hour later Jennifer started to slowly wake up. She snuggled into Silas even more and he chuckled, "Comfy Angelos Mou?" She nodded and moved her head to where she could hear his heartbeat. "Find what you are looking for?" She nodded again. "Are we not talking right now?" She shook her head and tightened her grip on him. "Are we little right now?" She shook her head and he started rubbing her back. "We just need a few minutes to come to terms with everything from earlier?" She nodded and he kissed the top of her head. "That's okay, take your time. I just want you to know that we are very proud of you for telling us what was going on in your head." She squeezed him to let him know she heard him and pushed her head up just a little bit. He chuckled and kissed the top of her head again and she hummed in appreciation. "You like hearing praises, don't you?" he asked and she hummed again. "That's fine because we love giving them." Her stomach growled and she hide her face. He chuckled, "Think you are ready to go downstairs and see what Luke and Marc have made to eat?" She shook her head and he chuckled. "We can't stay up here and have them bring food to us," she nodded and he burst out laughing, "That wouldn't really be fair now would it? They want to spend time with you too." She pouted, "I know I'm your favorite cuddler but they want to hold you too." She looked up at him and he looked closely as he pushed her hair out of her face. "Are you scared they will fight over who holds you Jennifer?"

"Maybe," she whispered and he smiled softly.

"I promise they will not get upset," he explained. "We know we will each get a turn and are willing to wait. You know you could always just sit with one for a little bit then move to the next until you sit with everyone if you worry about jealousy."

"That sounds perfect," she whispered as she sat up.
