Not Dead

Chapter Forty-Three - Time To Think

Your P.O.V.

—-------------

After our reunion, we all sit around the living room the anxieties of the day's event still present. Tom stands up abruptly. I turn to him watching him from my spot on Gustav's lap.

"We have to kill Jason, I mean he took you! In broad daylight! That asshole wants a fight so why don't we give him one." Tom's words are laced with venom, anger present in every syllable. Bill stands up and places his hand on Tom's shoulder.

"Tom, we're all angry but we should focus on (Name) right now. She's the one who's been through the most. Plus I think we all need time to calm down." Bill's voice is gentle but I can feel that he's just as angry but he's keeping calm so that I feel better. Tom sighs sitting on the floor and placing his head on my lap.

"I just don't want to lose you." His voice is shaky and filled with worry. I lean down and place a kiss on top of his head.

"I know hun, but I think it's best we rest for now. We need to figure out a plan before we rush in. Also, I need a bath." I chuckle a little trying to lighten the mood. Tom moves his head off my lap and I feel someone lift me up. I turn my head to see who picked me up, it's Gustav. He carries me to the bathroom and places me down starting a bath. I remove my clothes behind him and he turns his face flushing when he sees me.

"Do you want to join me?" I smile at him as I get into the tub. He nods his head and starts removing his clothes getting in the tub behind me. I smile leaning back into him. He wraps his arms around my waist burying his face in my shoulder.

"I'm so glad I found you, I was so worried." He holds me a little closer.

"I'm alright now, you don't need to worry as much." I feel him nod on my shoulder.

"Can I wash your hair?"

"Of course." I lean my head back and I feel him run his fingers through my hair and I sigh contently. I lean back slightly relaxing as he washes my hair. When he's finished washing my hair we sit there for a moment enjoying each other's company. After a few more minutes he lifts me up and grabs towels for both of us wrapping me in mine and picking me up. I smile wrapping my arms around his neck and placing a kiss on his cheek. He carries me to my room and places me on my bed. I get up changing into pajamas. He leaves to go change and while I wait for him Bill comes into my room wrapping me in his arms.

"I'm so glad I gave you that knife. At first, I was worried that maybe it was dangerous to give to you, that maybe you've been pretending to love us but when you disappeared all I could do was hope you still had it. I kept telling Tom that you'd be okay that we gave you the knife. I kept telling him to reassure myself that you'd be okay." Bill buries his face in my chest. I rub his back hoping it'll help calm him down. Gustav comes back in and Bill pulls away. We all lie down and Gustav pulls me into his chest burying his face into the back of my neck. Bill holds my waist burying his face in my chest, holding me as if I'll disappear. I place a kiss on Bill's head before falling asleep in his arms.
