My six amazing brothers

Chapter 26

I was shaken awake by familiar warm hands. "Sweetie, wake up!" I groaned a little.

"You need to wake up!"

"What?" I slightly opened my eyes and let the dim light enter my eyes as I looked around.

The hands that was holding me belonged to no other than my mother.

Wait what Mom?

"M-Mom" I froze and I felt my whole body beting harder and my head spinning more and more. My ears heated up and I felt dizzy.

"Hey Baby" she gently stroke my head. Her kind smile and sweet voice. Now I realized how much I missed her. The warmth I felt when she carefully creased my cheek. Her voice sounded like harmony when she spoke.

I opened my eyes fully now and she smiled, but there were a glimt of something else in her eyes. Sadness? Guilt? Concern?

"What?" I breathed out unsteady air as I spoke.

"I know Baby, I didn't mean any of this to happen" she teared up.

Out of nowhere her eyes turned cold and serious "Don't believe him, he's lying Baby" Mom looked directly at me.

Her voice was stern and harsh, but it didn't frighten me at all. "What are you talking about? Who's lying Mom?"

"Your father"

My stomach turned and I felt dizziness overtaking me.

"D-Dad?" I stuttered.

"Whatever he told you, he's lying!" Tears streamed down her face "I-I found out, now he's mad" Her face sank "He's scared that you will do the same"

My heart pounded so hard that I could hear every single beat in my chest.

"Find out what Mom?" My voice broke due to the lump in my throat and I felt tears forming in the corner of my eyes.

She sat down beside me on the bed. "I didn't leave you that day, he made me"

That hit me like a brick. I shook my head "N-No mom? What did h-he d-do?"

She looked at me with a smile of sadness "I love you Baby, and your brothers. I love all of you so so much I could never imagine doing that, I want you to know that. Please take care of yourself Baby and stick to your brothers. But whatever you do, don't be alone with your him, ever!" She took my hand.

"You have to promise me that Babylynn"

"Yeah-yeah I promise" My voice was shaking. I understood that she meant dad and that freaked me out.

Mom smiled sweetly at me "My baby" she kissed my forehead.

I felt her warm hand gently holding mine and then it suddenly felt cold. I furrowed my brows in confusion.

Her hand felt sticky and I looked down.

My breath hitched and my heart stopped. Her wrist was sliced open, a deep cut was shown and the blood was flushing out of her.

"Mom! No no no no!" I panicked. I tried my best to stop the bleeding but nothing helped. My eyes snapped up at her face, she was pale but she was still smiling while tears streamed down her face.

"It's okay" her voice was unsteady "I love you so much"

She disappeared.
