Naturally Connected

Chapter 2

Monday went on with much excitement. Amara could not stop screaming out of excitement. The unbelievable part of tomorrow was that Sam and Amara were born the exact same minuet, in the exact same hospital.

Amara and Sam's rooms were right next to each other. The doctors and nurses continued to go from room to room, trying to bring the children into the world.

Amara's parents were there on a vacation from their home in Kansas. They were at the hospital in Florida, and immediately when the baby was born they drove back to Kansas, because an airplane would be too dangerous.

Then Sam's parents decided that they wanted a new start when Sam was 15, they moved to Kansas.

   Sam's parents could not believe the luck. They had moved to the same town that Amara's parents moved to! The mothers and fathers hit it off, and are the best of friends now.  Sam and Amara also hit it off when they learned that they were born at the same time, and bonded over getting their lights together.

   It was now Tuesday. It was the day.  Sam would get her light. Sam and her friends were currently sitting in her room.

   Sam and Jayden were both laying on the bed in their backs while Amara paced back and forth around the room.

"Amar, please stop pacing... Your making me dizzy..." Jayden commented while making a face of discomfort.

"Well excuse me, you already got your light, and your parents didn't expect you to get married as soon as you meet the person. My parents have been nagging me all day! Telling me about how excited they are..." Amara began her rant. That's always what she did when she was nervous. She let her mouth go crazy.

"Ok, ok. Just sit down. I'm sure this whole thing will be fine." Jayden tried to reassure her, but she continued to ramble under her breath.

Jayden turned to Sam. "Sam, I hope you don't mind but I invited one of my buddies from school. He wanted an excuse to skip. His name is Carson. He already has a light. He got it almost a year ago."

"The more the merrier!" Sam said. She didn't really care who was here. She just really wanted to get this over with. She could tell that Amara was still overly nervous. All of their family was downstairs right now, setting up for the event. It would be at exactly 4:51. It was already noon though. The event being prepared for just downstairs made her heart start to beat faster.

Oh no, she though. Not right now. This can't happen now. I can't have a panic attack NOW. I'm about the have a life changing experience.

Breath in. Breath out.

Mentioning to herself that this was a life changing experience triggered it. She suddenly couldn't get enough air into her lungs. Jayden and Amara must have heard the gasping and immediately got into action. Jayden ran downstairs to get the shot. Amara was by her side and telling her to breath deeply. No matter how hard she tried, Sam couldn't do it. The air just wouldn't come in.

Jayden bursts through the door, and injected Sam with the shot right in her arm. Her heart calmed down almost the second the shot went in. Her breathing slowed and she could focus on things. She looked away from Amara and saw that all of her family was there. To support her. That's all she needed to know. They were all there for her. Sam's parents came up to her and hugged her tight, whispering little things into her ear about how it will all be fine. Suddenly, someone she didn't know came into the room.

It was a brown haired boy. He had a white light shining in his chest, showing her that he hadn't found his mate yet. All of her family left the rom after checking that she was indeed, fine. When they were gone, the boy came into the room, and sat down on Sam's desk chair. Jayden sat down next to Sam and began rubbing her back. Sam leaned into his touch. She loved that Jayden would always be there for her. She closed her eyes and leaned on Jayden's chest. He hugged her from the side, and slowly laid her down on his lap. He pushed his back to the headboard of her bed, and crisscrosses his legs before re-situating her so that she had her legs wrapped around his torso, and her arms wrapped around his neck. He snuggled his head into her neck before looking at the boy. Jayden hadn't even noticed that Carson had arrived until now.
