Me and Zeke are sat at the small kitchen table, tapping our fingernails.
"Grounding?" Zeke suggests.
"Doesn't work. I think Hope has suffered enough, does she really need a punishment?" I question, sighing as i drink my coke.
"Yes." He strongly replies and i laugh. Pain shoots through my chest and i wince slightly.
"You okay?" Zeke worries.
"Yep, fine." I mumble as he holds my hand over the table.
"I forgot to tell you; Pepper is back." I inform.
"That's good."
"Dad is over the moon."
"Skye, Im worried about you." Zeke whispers, a random thought. I snap my head up to look at him, his eyes full of worry.
"Why?"
"Asthma attacks, panic attacks, being shot. Lots of things."
"Zeke, Im fine. These things make me who i am. I can't change that." I explain.
"I know. I know. But, i lost you a week ago, i lost you twice. And for those few minutes, i saw what my life would be like without you. I would cry, grieve and cry lots more, the kids would stop talking to me and i would most probably kill myself." He whispers, looking at the floor. I stand up and walk over to him, placing my arms around his neck and he looks up to see me.
"I would be exactly the same if i lost you." I whisper.
"Promise me that you will try and stay out of trouble." He begs, placing his hands on my waist.
"I can't promise that. Trouble finds me."
