Moonlit Path

First Visit

It has been two months since dad had to send my son away somewhere safe with his uncle Scott. It has been hard on me and I felt myself slip into depression a few times but I had to pull myself out of it to help dad and Chris whenever and wherever I can. Chris and I have been so intimate at night especially when things don't go right in our quest to keep André safe.

"I'm gonna shower." I said as I got up from the bed after having sex with Chris.

"Okay." He said as he got up and opened the bedroom window to smoke. I sighed and got clothes from the closet before heading to the bathroom.

I turned the shower on and sat on the shower floor as I felt myself spiral down. I miss André so much, but I have to look strong in front of everyone. I saw a razor blade beside the shampoo bottle and grabbed it. I don't know what I was thinking and just slit my wrist in the process. I leaned on the shower wall just letting the water wash over me.

It must have been a while, but I heard Chris come into the bathroom.

"Babe, are you alright in here?" He asked but I was too weak to answer. "Babe?" he called out as he walked the corner to where our shower was. "SAGE!" I watched him run towards me to turn the shower off, he carried me out of the bathroom and laid me on the bed. "Sweetheart, keep your eyes open for me." He bit his arm and made me feed. The cut on my wrist wasn't that bad but it was enough for me to bleed. Amanda ran to my room and saw what happened, she immediately turned around and when she came back she had the first aid kit with her and handed it to Chris.

They both were silent as I sobbed while they tended to my cut. Once they were done, Chris helped me sit up while Amanda grabbed towels from the bathroom and dried me.

"Babe, what's going on?" Chris asked as he sat beside me.

"Sweetheart, talk to us." Amanda said as she got up to put the towels away and grab my clothes. She helped me get dressed and I went back to sitting in the corner of my bed against the wall. "You've been bottling it up." she said, "We're here for you, you know that right."

"I want to see my son. I want to hold him. It has been two months, please let me see him." I begged. Chris scooted over to me and held me.

"Babe, we will. Just not right now. Hold on just a little longer." Chris said.

"So you don't miss him? It's like you don't even care about your son." I snapped.

"Sweetheart, I miss him every single second we spend without him. I want him back, but we need to wait." Chris explained.

"I'll be back." Amanda suddenly said and hurriedly left the room.

Chris started kissing me, trying to distract me. "Chris, no. Please." I said as I pulled away, "I can't anymore. I..." I sighed and put my face on my hands.

"It's okay, love." He held me for what seemed like eternity until Amanda came back to the room. She looked at Chris and smiled. "Lay down," he smiled.

"Why?" I asked but laid down.

"Do you trust me?" Amanda asked, and I nodded as Chris laid beside me. "Close your eyes and hold hands." Amanda instructed. I then heard her whisper something.

"Where are we?" I asked Chris as I got up from a meadow.

"Come." He got up and helped me and we both ran towards a cottage.

"SCOTT!" Chris yelled out as we entered the house.

"Hey! You're here." Scott smiled. I watched him walk over to us with André in his arms.

"André" I whispered as I cried while I walked towards him and took him from Scott's arms. "Oh, my little one. I've missed you so much."

"I'm surprised you guys are able to come here." Scott smiled.
