Don't Forget About Me

Chapter 36

When I wake I look around and realize that I fell asleep in the chair. Looking around the room it feels so empty here. I get up and as soon as I do notice that I have a pounding headache. “Damn it.” I say and head to the bathroom. When I get closer to the door I notice the light on from under the door and freeze for a second. Just when I'm about to back  up and run Sara opens the door and walks out. Oh that's right Sara was with me. Get your shit together Kelsey. I tell myself. “Hey Kels, I took a shower I hope that's ok. That shower is amazing by the way.” As she points back into the bathroom. I nod and smile because of course it's ok. “Morning Sara, did you sleep ok?” She was rubbing a towel in her hair. “It was ok, Have you heard from the guys?” I look at her and run back for my phone. When I pick it up I realize that I have a message. I got excited because finally I didn't have to worry, Os messaged me.  When I open it my breathing changes, It's not from Os.

Unknown- I hope you're safe somewhere no one can find you. The problem will be taken care of soon. Stay hidden. No matter what happens do not come out unless I or Osvaldo comes for you. Dad

What the fuck. I don't know if I am more mad that it was him who texted me or the fact that he thinks i'm going to call him dad. Sara is right behind me waiting for me to talk. “So? Did they send you anything?” I shut my phone off and turned to her. “No, nothing yet. So we just sit and make the best of it. We can walk out to the water if you want?” She puts her head down. I notice  that she is really worried about Octavius. I take my hand and grab hers. “They will be fine, they have to be.” As I say it I grab my growing belly and look down. They have to be, I say in my head over and over trying to believe it myself. 

“Let's make something to eat and take a walk to clear our heads.” I say and she nods and walks back to her room. I then walk to my room to change. I walk in and look around and I just get flashbacks to when I was in here last. I walk to the bed and sit and look around. I see my clothes on the dresser from the last time when I put the dress on he got me. I smile sadly because I don't know if things will be ok and I'm terrified about it but I can't come to terms with it. Not yet. I get up and change out of the clothes that I have on and put on my other clothes. 

I walk out of the room and to the kitchen and open the fridge. It's fully stocked, when did he think to do this? He must have known something that he didn't tell me. I shake away the being mad at him feeling because that's stupid.  “What are we working with in there?” Sara says coming up behind me. “Holy shit Kels, that thing is full.” I reach in and start to grab things out to make a quick  meal for us. After we indulge and start to clean up the kitchen I hear my phone go off. I pause and look at Sara but then her phone goes off too. We both take off for our phones. I grab mine and see another text.

Unknown- There have been complications with Mario. He's trying to find you. Again, stay hidden even if you hear something that you wish is real. Don't trust anyone right now. Dad.

Don't trust anyone, I chuckle a little because I don't trust him. I look for where Sara went and don't see her. I walk over to her room and she's looking at her phone and seems like she's typing something. “Who was it Sara?” She looks up with a smile. “It's Octavius,  he's asking where we are so I'm telling him.”  I rush to her and take her phone. 

“You don't know if this is actually him, it's a text Sara. I'm sorry but you can't tell him where we are. If it were him, Os would tell him where we are.” She looks pissed and reaches and grabs her phone. She is angry now. “How do you know Kelsey, maybe it is him and he got separated from Os.” I look at her because I know she doesn't believe what she is saying. She starts to delete her message and I see a tear slide down her face. I go to her and wrap my arms around her in a hug. 

“I'm scared too, Sara. I want them to be ok.” We sat there a bit longer. I let her go and turn to look at her and smile. Let's go swimming. She lets out a little laugh and nods. We start to look around to see if there is anything that we can wear to swim in. We find some of Os’s t-shirts and grab two. We then go to the bathroom and grab two towels. When we get outside we start to walk towards the water and it's breathtaking. The way that the water just sits there so calm and undisturbed  is unbelievable. 

“This is so beautiful Kels.” She looks down to the ground and I see one more tear fall down her face and I need to really keep it together now. I rub her back and push her a little with me. When we get to the edge of the water and put the towels down. We walk towards the water and put our feet in. It feels like I can wash away all the bad in my life by walking in here but I know that's not the case but I can dream. “Why does it feel so warm, Kels?” I look at her and give her a half smile and shrug because who the hell knows. By the time that I get into where I have to float all I can think about is when I was here last. I gave myself to Os. 

I gave him all of me and I didn't realize it then but he already had me. I know that now. Again I pray to whoever is listening to just bring him back to me. Sara swims around like a fish then splashes me. “Hey, what was that for?” I splash back. We start to get into a splashing fight and it feels so good to laugh and have fun with her. We pause and look at each other. “I don't know if I would have been able to go through any of  this without you Sara. Thank you.” I say and I really mean it. Sara swims over to me and gives me a shove. 

“That's what sisters are for, I would go through fire for you and I know that you would do the same for me. Its just unfortunate that both our boyfriends have a fucked up family.” I showed her back but she's not lying. I would do anything for her. She stays in the water for what feels like forever but then I hear something. I look around and see someone walking down the driveway but I can't tell who it is and I freak. “Sara!” I point. She looks to where I was looking and the person starts to come into view better. “Octavius oh my god” Sara rushes out of the water and I can see he's holding his side. I rushed after her out of the water to him. What the fuck happen and where is Os?
