Let me help. (A Siva Kaneswaran story)

Chapter 27

Nyx's pov:

I woke up that morning pretty early. Siva was still asleep. I laid there and looked up at the ceiling. There was no way in the world that I was going back to sleep. I got out of bed and walked down the hallway. I heard Jay snoring. I walked into the living room and turned on the tv. I surfed the channels, but there was nothing that caught my attention.

"What are you doing up this early?" Nathan asked as he walked in. He surprised me.

"I could ask you the same question." I replied. He just stood there and rubbed his eyes.

"I woke up because I had a bad dream." He said. He looked like a little kid standing there.

"Oh, why don't you tell me about it." I told him. He then walked to his room. Was he sleep walking? Because if he is, then that is creepy. I followed him to his room. He laid down in his bed and I sat at the end of it.

"Are you going to tell me about your dream?" I ask him. He holds up a finger and mouths 'one second'. He pulled out a little book from his nightstand drawer. He opened it. All that I could see was a drawing.

"I dreamt that you and Siva were getting married. Then someone came along and killed you. Siva was heart broken and I was standing there holding you. I brought you back to life and the man that killed you took you away from us. We tried to get you back, but he was too fast." He told me. I saw that he had tears streaming down his face, but his voice never broke.

"Nathan, I plan on staying here with you guys." I told him. He sat up and looked right at me.

"Is it okay if I hug you? I really need one and I can see that you need a friend." He said. I thought for a moment.

"Yes, you can hug me." I told him. He leaned in and gave me a hug. He was like the little brother that I have always wanted. I pulled away when I heard foot steps rushing to the living room.

"What was that?" I asked Nathan. He just shrugged. He and I became more alert. He got off of the bed and stood in front of me as the frantic foot steps passed again. He walked to the door and opened it. I got off of the bed and followed him. We walked down the hallway. I saw that Siva was awake and he had his head in his hands.

"Siva, did someone walk by here?" I ask him. He looks up at me as if I was everything that was important.

"Nyx! I thought that you were a dream!" He said as he picked me up in a hug. I didn't flinch. I hugged him back. He placed me back on the ground.

"What was that for?" I said as I looked at Nathan.

"I thought that you were gone. Like you never even existed. I don't want that to happen. I want you to be with me for the rest of my life." He said. He then walked over to the dresser. He opened the bottom drawer and pulled out a little box.

"Will you stay with me for the rest of my life?" Siva said as he got down on one knee. I saw that Nathan had his camera recording this.

"Siva, I think that the real question here is, will you put up with all of my craziness?" I explained to him.

"I will if you will put up with me." He bargained. I couldn't stop smiling.

"Yes, Siva! I will marry you!" He stood up and put the ring on my finger. It was beautiful. It had one diamond in the middle and 5 around it.

15 years later:

Siva and I have 4 kids now, a 14 year old, a 12 year old, a 6 year old, and a 3 year old. Today Lorcan turns 14. He looks like Siva in every way, but he has my stubborn 'I will do it myself attitude'. He is like me. He can see ghosts. I tell him that there is nothing to worry about. His siblings don't see them, but they know that he and I see them. Marcy, who is 12, beat up a boy at school for calling him weird. Siva was proud of her. I was too, secretly of course.She looks like me, exactly like me. There is Jayne, who is 6. She looks like a combination between the both of us. She has my face, but Siva's dark hair. Finally, there is little Marvin. He is only three years old, but he is fiesty. He has to be to keep up with his siblings.

Siva has his own Irish talk show. He enjoys meeting all the new people. He doesn't sing unless it is for comedy.

The kids have grown up with the rest of "The Wanted Kids". Jay and his wife have 3 kids, Tom and Kelsey have 4, Max and his wife have 7 (they adopted 5 and had 2), and Nathan and his wife have 2.

"Mom! Where are you?" Lorcan yells. He is my oldest.

"Lorcan! I am in my room! What do you need?" I asked him.

"Marcy and Dad are waiting for you!" He hollers through the door.

"You mean, everyone is waiting for me to leave!" I corrected him.

"Yeah, something like that." I opened the door and we walked to the rest of them.

"Come on! We got to go! We told the guys that we would meet them in London at noon and it is 11:45!" Siva stressed. I rounded the kids into the car. As I was buckling Marvin in his seat, I felt siva touch my shoulder.

"Let me help." He said as he took over buckling him.
