11:45pm

I walked out of the bathroom filled with steam and clenched my hand around the pink, fluffy towel and headed towards the bedroom with a trail of wet footprints leaving a trail behind me.

"They're all finally asleep." I sat down in front of the white vanity stand with bright lights surrounded around the mirror and pulled the towel off of my damp, wet hair and tossed it in the dirty clothes basket on the side of the dresser.

"Hmm." He hummed and kept his eyes locked on his phone screen, scrolling through messages—emails, without taking his attention off of the bright screen in front of him.

"I'm glad they're all okay." I chuckled softly. "Sometimes, it feels like I'm the older sibling, always taking care of them." I opened the top drawer and reached for the black comb and a few hair ties.

"Sometimes the roles can reverse."

Staring at him through the mirror, I nodded my head in agreement and began to part my hair in small sections. My hair knotted fast, the sections helped make it easier to brush and detangle it all without causing a lot of hair loss.

I started at the bottom of my hair with the comb and worked my way to the top. Lightly running the comb through my hair without tugging or pulling.

"How is Alec feeling?"

"He's fine, better than I had expected. But I want to stay up for a while to make sure. He hit his head pretty hard on the concrete."

Saying those words out loud made them sound more real. Alec was hurt, and when he hurt, it gutted me deeply more than any knife wound.

Dad paid for a private doctor in the next town over to come to the house and take a look at Alec. He left two hours ago after stating Alec was fine and just needed rest.

But he did warn us to look out for small signs such as dizziness, headaches, impaired speech or if he just acted off in any kind of way.

But, being the overprotective--over paranoid person I was. I peeked my head through the crack of Alec's bedroom door every hour or so.

"The doctor checked him over twice after your father's request.  I'm sure he's going to bed just fine with you and all of us looming over him. Try not to stress yourself out, it's not good for the baby."

"I know." I set the comb down and reached for the hairbrush. "It's just so hard not to worry." It's not like I could flip off the emotions or the worries I had felt in the flick of a finger. But, how easy everything would be if I could.

"Come here." He commanded in a soft tone.

Instead of running the brush through my messy, wet hair dripping water on the vanity stand I stood up and walked over to the bed.

My feet moved on their own. I couldn't say no to him. There was something about his voice, the harshness in his tone without meaning too that had turned me into a wet mess.

He set the phone down on the nightstand and pulled me on his lap. I placed my hands against his bare chest and adjusted myself on his lap with my eyes meeting his dark gaze.

"I love you." He stroked my hip bone softly through the towel. "I'm here, everything is going to be fine." He nuzzled his face against my stomach.

Words.

His words were short yet they were filled with heavy meaning behind them that had calmed me and eased my worries.

I had no doubt everything would be okay, because in the end Zade would make sure it was all okay no matter what. That was the kind of person he was.

I lifted his face and cupped his jaw in the palm of my hands and leaned down with water droplets dripping from the ends of my hairs and landing on his collar bone.

"You always looked out for me and lessened my worries. You took my problems as if they were yours and carried them on your back. I love you, more than you would ever know."

He was my rock.

"Me and blueberry, we both love you so much."
