The Niece of the Raptor Man

seventeen

I wake to the sound of people being attended to. Thousands of families crying as they latch onto their children, telling them they'll never let them go. Funny, I don't remember falling asleep in here. I look up and see Zach staring down at me.

"Morning, beautiful," he says with that sexy morning voice.

I smile up at him when Gray comes over. "Ok, enough of this." He means "us" and I laugh. "Zach! Gray!" A middle aged woman, whom I'm guessing is their mother, rushes over and pulls them into a hug. After hugging the boys, a man, about the same age, grabs onto
them while their mother latches onto Claire.

"I'm so sorry..." Claire says between sobs.

Their mother turns to me.

"And who's this?"

"Oh, mom, this is Emma. My...girlfriend," Zach lies. A little shocked, sure, but I play along with it.

I extend my hand and she shakes it. "It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Mitchell," I say politely. She smiles, impressed, but her smile soom fades when the girl from that picture on Zach's phone runs up to him and, forcefully, kisses him. It feels as if I was punched in the stomach several times.

"Oh, Kelly, can we talk?" He pulls her to where we can't hear.

She slaps him across the face and runs off, crying.

"I thought you said you broke up with her." I narrow my eyes at him. "I did, she just didn't get the memo," he sighs and I smirk.

"So, I'm your girlfriend, huh?" I ask, pushing his arm slightly.

"Will you, Emmaline Middle Name Last Name, be my girlfriend?" He laughs as he says 'Middle Name' and 'Last Name.' I laugh, tears filling my eyes, and kindly accept.

"Jane Baxter."

"What?" He asks, confused.

"My middle name and last name. Jane Baxter."

"Oh," he laughs and pulls me into another passionate kiss.
