Losing Myself

All My Friends

As I awoke from the dream, I was breathing hard and noticed that the boys were around me. I adjusted to my surroundings and  realized Emerson was holding me by his side, and Sebastian and Remington were on my bed around me. "Finally, you're awake." Remington said in relief. They seemed to each have an equally worried expression on their faces, not that I could blame them. Sebastian was light tracing small shapes on my leg, smiling at me with his gentle smile. I could tell he was relieved and had been worried. "We came to visit and once we reached your room, you looked as if you were struggling." Emerson spoke softly, squeezing my side. "It was just a horrid dream is all, I assure you boys." I gave them a reassuring smile, I did not want to talk about the dream just yet. Sebastian gave me a skeptical look, but I suppose he shrugged it off because he smiled once more once our eyes met. "Well, then in that case the boys and I will wait downstairs while you get busy." Sebastian said, nodding softly as he and the other two stood up, leaving my room and quietly shutting the door. I sighed, running my hand through my tangled hair. I picked the covers up and moved them aside as I stood, slipping on my slippers and walked to the bathtub.

I walked downstairs once I was dressed and ready, finishing my braid as I reached the bottom of the stairs. The boys were sitting at the breakfast table with my mother and father, chatting away about the newly bloomed flowers. I sat down in my seat between Remington and my father, smiling at each of them in the process. "Goodmorning, love." My mother spoke as she got up, setting the food on the table. "Goodmorning, mother, father." I nodded at them both. They smiled and mother sat back in her seat, her and the boys beginning to eat. "So, Elizabeth, Emerson said you had a nightmare." Father said, looking over at me. I looked over at Emerson and glared slightly, him smirking his small smirk and looking down at his food as he ate. "Yes, I did father. Just a normal night terror." I said, passing it off as no big deal. "Are yoy sure about that?", Mother asked, a concerned look across her face,"You don't normally get those, Eliza." I sighed, taking a sip of my milk. "Mother, I assure you all it was nothing to fret over. Now, let's get on with this wonderful meal, please?" Everyone nodded in agreement, mother looking a little more relieved, but still had concern all over her face.

After breakfast the boys and I went out to the market, looking at little nick-nacks and fooling around. I walked up to a small stand that was run by an elderly woman, which had jewlery displayed. Each piece was beautiful in it's own way, carved from wood and stone. "These are all beautifully brilliant." I praised the woman, earning a smiled from her. "Thank you, Miss. I made them all myself, it's one of my loves." She said, looking up at me from her seat. "You defiently do an amazing job. They're just amazing." I said once again as I looked at some a bit closer. Sebastian walked up to the booth as well and smiled at the woman, "Hello, m'lady. Good morning, beautiful out isn't it?" He said with his charming smile, his hands politely placed behind his back as he bowed slightly. "Hello there, young man. Indeed it is a beautiful morning." She smiled at Sebastian and nodded in agreement. He looked down at all the jewlery and traced some of the shapes. "I remeber when you would make my brothers and I similar types of jewlery to wear around." He chuckled softly, looking back at her. Both the woman and I had a confused look on our faces. "Whatever do you mean, dear?" She asked, I looked up at him waiting for his response. "I'm Sebastian, remember me? The oldest lost boy, the boys you took care of when everyone else was afraid. You would come out to the forest and give us these, telling us stories." He smiled. The woman gasped and covered her mouth, helping herself up and over to Sebastian. She hugged him tightly as her eyes teared up. "Oh, my goodness! You boys are still around? My my, you've grown to be handsome." She exclaimed, a few passer-bys looking. Sebastian hugged her back and smiled,"Yes we are, I'm afraid." Just as they let go, Emerson and Remington walked over, lookin over at the two. "Oh my, Remmy, Emmy, you two have also grown into beautiful young men." She said and pulled them both into hugs. "Oh my goodness, Madam, I didn't know you were still here!" Emerson grinned and hugged back. Remington chuckled and hugged her back as well, patting her back gently. "You are still as beautiful as ever, Josiphine."

I watched them with a smile and crossed my arms. They all turned to face me, remembering I was there,"Josi, this is my girlfriend Elizabeth." Sebastian introduced me to her,"Lovely to meet you, ma'am." I said with a small curtsey. "An honor to meet you as well, Elizabeth." She smiled at me once again. "I missed you boys so much." She said as she looked up at them each. "Would you all care to come in and visit?" She asked hopefully. "I suppose we could. No reason to not." Remington answered, the rest of us nodding in agreement.
