The one night alone

The awaken

"Ow, ahhhhh, stop!" Everyone gasped, you found it!
"Katie just hold still a little, its almost out." For the first time in months I could speak or cry. They had captured my uncle and had just now forced him to tell them where he had shot me. Jaxon was sitting on my stomach using a screw driver to break the bone enough he could get to the bullet. He pulled it out most of the way but it hurt so much. My brain was healing as he pulled it out. I think I just slapped him.
"Stop! Jaxon please!"
"Its almost out. Its only a little more pain. Please?"
"No!" He got off my stomach and sat on the floor starring at me. He reached forward and held my hand. His thumb stroking my palm. He pulled my hand up and kissed it. He put it in his lap and started playing with my hair. He hushed me after I continued to cry. I finally calmed down enough that he spoke.
"Can I take it out now? Please?"
"No."
"Do you just want to leave it there forever?" I waited to respond.
"No"
"So will you please let me finish." I didn't respond he sat down on my stomach again. He put his fingers in the golf ball sized hole he made and counted.
"1,2,3!" He grabbed and yanked as hard as he could. It came to the surface and I screamed. He held it in front of my face.
"Look its out now. Shhh your OK." I cried and rolled over. He fell off me. He stood up and picked me up. I wrapped my arms around him and he carried me upstairs. Laying me down on our bed. He pulled out his phone and called his father. I looked around at my old room. It WaS amazing to the changes going on around me without thinking. We had dropped the prosecutions against me and had returned home. We had captured my uncle and his house fire had destroyed every evidence he had on us. Jacob had turned seven. All the emotion from the past 9 months has caught up to me. My birthday was next week. I was turning 17. I looked at Jaxon watching him talk on his phone. Jaxon was by my side everyday. He would tell me everything going on. Everything brought more emotions through me and I continued to cry. My head has almost completely healed. I felt the bed sink a little as a pair of arms wrapped around me.
"Shhh, everything is going to be OK. Sleep love, your mind keeps racing and you aren't thinking clearly." I rolled over and layed on his chest. He ran his hand up and down my back. Sleep eventually came over me.

"Can I wake her up now?" A voice whispered beside me.
"Shhh let her sleep Jacob. Come out of there. Let's go look at the cake." Jaxon spoke.
"But its her birthday, we need to wake her up."
"No Jacob, I will wake her up later."
"But-"
"Jacob."
"No I am waking her up!" He shouted and I flinched. Suddenly the bed moved and a body landed on mine. I sat straight up and shrieked. A pair of arms wrapped me a cuddled into my chest. He was laughing and holding me. Jaxon came and sat on the bed.
"I'm so sorry Katie! I didn't know tha- he being rebellious lately." I finally caught my breath and I wrapped my arms around Jacob. I opened my eyes and let them adjust to the light. I looked down at this little boy I hadn't seen in a year.
"Your so big! And blonde!" He had to have grown 5 or 6 inches and his dirty blonde hair was now a bright blonde.
"I missed you!" I felt his tears land on my arms. I layed my head on his and rocked him back and forth.
"I missed you too."
"Can you promise me?"
"Promise you what?"
"You can't ev-er le-heave me again." His voice shaking as he sobbed. Tears started to come out of my eyes.
"I'm never leaving. Never again."
Jaxon sat behind us and held us. Eventually we stopped crying and just sat there until
"Katie you smell funny and you look really bad." Jaxon started to laugh and I pulled out.
"What?" Jacob plugged his nose and pulled out of my arms.
"You smell really bad." He ran out of the room and I looked at the hysterically laughing Jaxon. I hit him in the arm.
"What? Its true! You do smell really bad. I rolled my eyes and rolled off the bed. Naturally falling over as I walked. "Katie stop your going to hurt yourself!"
"Good!" I shouted back finally mkimg it to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and shrieked. I looked awful! There was scratched all over my face and caked blood and dirt in my hair. My clothes were ripped and filthy. My makeup was smeared all over. I was hairy, I had a unabrow. And everything looked nasty. Jaxon walked in and I was ashamed. I looked awful and he still loved me. How did I deserve him?
"The real question is how did I deserve such a brave and strong girl who takes care of me?" Crap he read my thoughts. He laughed and started the shower. Reaching down he cupped my face and kissed me.
"Let me get you ready for your party OK? Happy birthday beautiful!" He put the soap in the shower and aimed the shower head on the seat in the corner. He hung a towel on the door. He walked over to me and took off my shirt. I stopped him.
"I know, I know. You sure you can undress yourself fine?"
I nodded my head. He covered his eyes and waited til I was undressed. He held out his hand and helped me to the shower. I sat down and for the first time in a while I felt the warm water run down my back. I watched the nasty brown and red water go down the drain. I showered for a good hour And finally got all the nasty gunk off my body. I shaved then I washed my hair and body and face. I reached over and turned the water off.
"Done already?"
"Ya."
"Here is your towel." It came over and I caught it quickly. I wrapped it around myself and the door opened. He came in and picked me up and carried me to the closet. Carefully he dressed me. Then sat me in front of the mirror and brought all my makeup to me. I spent about 15 min replucking my eyebrows and started in my makeup. He brushed my hair the entire time being as gentle as possible. Then started to curl it. He and I walked downstairs and everyone cheered. I'm finally home. The Chaos is finally over.
