Babysitting Skylynn Grier

Chapter Fourteen

*Nash's POV*

I wake up to an empty bed.

My heart beats faster and I scramble to get out of bed, rushing for the door, not bothering to put on shoes or a jacket of any sort.

Where is she, where is she...

I look left and right after I close the motel door. I squint at a figure sitting at the curb with luggage in tow.

I walk up cautiously noticing that it's Sarah.

Did what I said last night really hurt her this much? Am I the cause of this? God, I must be the worst person ever. I should've known. She's too perfect for me. Too fragile. And I'm crushing her like a ton of bricks. But I can't lose her. I-I just can't.

My inner concerns that were playing out halt when Sarah's phone starts to vibrate.

It only takes seconds before her hands start to shake uncontrollably.

What in the world...

She ends the call with a firm press of her small thumb.

I crouch down behind her, unsure of what it do or say. I want to apologize for being such an ass and cornering her.

"Sarah-" she jumps to her feet, and faces me before hugging me tightly. She starts to sob and all I can think of is what did I do wrong? or how can I fix it?

"He knows, he-Izzy, the car, and-and, dead." Was the jumble, or part, of the words that kept coming from her mouth.

"Sarah, baby, what's wrong?" I ask, pulling away from the hug to look into her watery green eyes. "What happened? Are you-"

She grabs my face, planting kisses all over me, apologizing for who knows what.

"Nash, I'm so sorry. I am so, so sorry. I'm so selfish. I'm sorry. Please, please, please forgive me." She begs me.

"Sh, it's okay. Shh, you'll be alright princess. I'm here." I put my hands on the back of her head and step closer to her so her head is placed on my chest. "Let's get back inside okay?"

She nods her head and I take her cases that she had left on the curb and roll them down the cement paved sidewalk to our room.

Izzy was tossing in her sleep when we walked in, I rushed to her and kissed her forehead.

"Sh, sweetheart. We're back. We're both here. We love you. I love you." I sigh.

Climbing back into bed I see Sarah come back out of the bathroom wearing one of my shirts. I don't think she even realized that she had. Her red eyes looked tired, scared, yet there was love and a lot of it. Whether it be for me, Izzy, or whatever else, I'm just happy that she has it in her. "Come on sleepy head lets get some more sleep." I pat the open space next to me and wait as she crawls up onto the bed and under the sheets. "Sweet dreams beautiful." I kiss her slowly, wanting to make sure that she truly is here and not some sort of hallucination. Her breathing slowed and I hear her slight snoring and I grin.

Damn. I can't believe I'm dating her.

And honestly I can't. You know when you find the special someone, and you think that it's perfect and then it falls apart? That's happened to me, multiple times. In secret of course. But with Sarah... things are just different. And I love it. I close my eyes and wake up three hours later to a full on snore and I can't help but laugh.

"Whats so funny?" Sarah grumbles and I just roll my eyes.

"Nothing babe. Don't worry about it." I kiss her softly and she eagerly kisses me back. I can feel my hormones rising and I have to pull away, leaving Sarah with a pouting lip. "You make me horny. Relax babe." She giggles and kisses my cheek before getting up to go to the bathroom. Izzy comes out of nowhere jumping from the other bed to ours. "Gooooood morning to you too princess."

"Where're we going to today?" She asks as she cocks her head to the side.

"I'm not sure, but it can be an adventure okay?" She eagerly bites her lip in excitement.

"Get dressed you two, we're going on a trip--" Sarah begins before I interject.

"IN OUR FAVORITE ROCKET SHIP." I yell and Izzy bursts out laughing. "Flying through the sky..." I sit up raising my eyebrows at Sarah.

"... Little Einsteins." I fist pump the air before getting out of bed to find something to wear.
