Just us

I'm Good... I Think?

Four months have passed since Buck got injured, the kids are growing fast, our routine remains the same, we wake up, the kids play, I work, and Evan trains. Tomorrow he has the test to return to work. Athena organized a party for him, I made the cakes, one in case it didn't go well and the other in case he passed. He has worked hard these months, I really hope he succeeds.

*The evening*

"Congratulations!" we all shout as Buck enters Athena's house with Maddie by his side. I immediately rush to kiss him, holding both kids in my arms, and as soon as they see their father, they want him. The evening passes quietly, the food and company were fantastic. Currently, I'm talking with Maddie and Chymney. I notice Buck looking strange for a while, paler, something's wrong. As I approach him, he starts coughing violently, blood on his hands, and everyone rushes to help him. I remain frozen, staring at his blood. I'm scared, very scared, everything seemed to be going so well...

*Few days later*

Buck is better now, he just wants to go back to work, but it's not possible. Bobby called me twenty minutes ago, Evan won't be able to return to work. I don't have the courage to tell him, I'm just waiting for Bobby to arrive and tell him himself.

Less than thirty minutes have passed since Bobby's call, and he's finally here. The first thing he does when he sees me is hug me tightly, he has taken on a paternal figure in my life, being there for me in difficult times. He lets me go slowly and goes to Buck, who's talking to a nurse. Bobby greets him, they start talking, I see Buck's face change, becoming sad and angry. Buck sends Bobby away and goes straight to his room, lying on his bed, and I lie down next to him, he's crying, the first time in a long time that I've heard him cry.

*One week later*

It's been a week since Bobby told Buck he can't return to work. He has spent every day in his bed, crying like a child every day. He played with the twins, but you could see he wasn't his old self. Today I left the kids with my parents, Eddie will bring Christopher, I hope Evan will somehow get better, we'll spend a beautiful day at the pier.

*Few hours later*

Christopher was the first person after me and the twins to make Evan laugh, I hope everything will go back to normal. Evan and Chris are sitting on a bench, I'm getting ice cream for Chris, I turn to look at the two with a small smile on my lips, I look up, the ocean is gone, all the water has disappeared. Something's happening, I'm not sure what, but we need to run, and fast. Everyone is looking at the ocean, the siren starts blaring, Evan takes Chris and starts running, he reaches me and grabs my hand, pulling me away, we hide inside a kiosk, the wave comes, all I can see is darkness, my mind is on the twins, Buck, Chris, and my whole family.
