Pleasure Over Business

Chapter 20

I sat up from Christian's lap. My mom and dad were on the other side of the couch, and I noticed that everything was put back in the living room. I could hear Violet, Colette, and Zack in the kitchen. Everyone that was here must of left.

"Where is everyone?" I ask.

"They left a while ago. You were unconscious for a little bit." Christian whispers, rubbing my back. My mom gets up and sits beside me.

"Baby, are you ok?" She says. I rest my head on her shoulder.

"Yeah, mom. I'm fine. I just have a little headache." I mumble. I raise my head, and look around the living room.

"Christian, where are your grandparents?" 

"They went back to the hotel. They said they would stop by tomorrow evening to see how you're doing." He says, getting up from the couch, kissing my head, and walking into the kitchen.

"Would you like anything, honey?" My dad asks. 

"Yes, please. Camomile tea."

He smiles at me, and heads to the kitchen. I put my head on my mothers lap, as she strokes my hair. She sings me a song my birth mother use to sing me when I was younger.

"Thank you for staying, mom." I whisper.

"I had to make sure my baby girl was ok." She says. 

"When are you leaving?"

"Umm, I don't know. Around 8pm." She says and I smile. My father comes back with the tea. I sit up to drink it.

"Thank you, dad." 

"Your welcome, honey. So did you get a good look at the person who pushed you?" He asks.

"Jerry!" My mom yells. Everyone comes from out the kitchen. Violet sits on the other side of me, and Colette sits beside her. Zack sits beside my dad on chairs in front of us, and Christian sits beside my mother.

"Mom, it's ok. I couldn't see her face their was a black head cover over her face."

"How do you know it was a woman?" Colette asks.

"Because she had blonde curly hair."

"How did she even get in?" Violet asks.

"The window was open."

"But the window was locked." Christian says.

"It was, but when I went upstairs the window was broken open." Zack says.

The look on everyone's face is unbearable. I can tell they are worried about my safety, but they have to go. As soon as possible.

I don't want anyone here getting hurt because of me. I've lost enough people in my life; I don't need to lose anymore. They have to go before it's to late. I'd rather my life over theirs.

"Christian, dear. Can you give me the time, please." My mother says. Christian looks down at his watch.

"It is 7:30pm."

"Oh dear, Honey it's time for us to go." My mother kisses Violet, Colette, Zack, Christian, and I on the cheek. Christian gets up, and shakes my fathers hand. My dad gets up, and hugs Violet, Colette and I. Zack walks over to him, and shakes his hand.

"It was nice seeing you all!" My mom says. My dad and her walk out the door hand in hand.

Maybe that's how Christian and I will be...
