California (book 3)

Chapter 61

Grayson's POV

Lilly says that she's fine, but she's not acting like herself, she doesn't sleep in the bed with me anymore instead she sleeps in the guest bedroom

She's doesn't let Bailey, sleep in his crib so he sleeps with her, and she doesn't like eat a full meal since she's puking so she has to eat small servings

She can't stand up for too long or she'll get dizzy, I tried to get her to go to the hospital but I like said she says she's fine

I'm just finishing up cleaning some dirty dishes, when the door bell rings

I dry my hands before opening the door to see Jessica, Alex, Ethan and Emily, with the triplets

"Hey Guys" I say

"I brought the pizza" Jessica says pointing to Ethan who's holding the pizza

"And I got the bread sticks for Lilly" Alex says

"And I have the movies" Emily says

"Alright, come in" I say inviting them in, I closed the door behind them

"So what movie our we watching first?" I asked getting a pizza slice

"I wanna watch Jumanji first" Emily says

"I don't really care" Alex and Jessica says

"So I guess Jumanji it is" I say

"Where's Lilly?" Ethan asked eating his slice of pizza

"She's in the room I'll go get her" I say

"I'm going to go make the popcorn" Jessica says

"The popcorn is on top of the fridge" I say before walking into the guest bedroom

I open the door and Lilly's sitting on the bed with Bailey on her lap

"They're here" I say

"Okay" she says standing up and walking towards me

"Why do Bailey have a hoodie on?" I asked

"He was cold" she says walking into the living room

We all got our spots, and Emily started the movie

••••
(In the middle of the movie)

"I'm only pausing the movie because, we're out of popcorn" Jessica says getting up to make more popcorn

"I'm gonna go use the bathroom" Alex says getting up

"Eww Grant needs his diaper changed" Emily says getting up walking away with Grant in her arms

"Yeah, Gabriel is asleep" I say

"Yeah, Gabrielle too" Ethan says

Ethan and I get up with Gabriel and Gabrielle, we put them in Bailey's crib

"We're about to click play!" Alex says

Ethan and I rushed back to the living room and we sat back in our spots, Jessica clicked play on the movie

I started to have a weird feeling, like something was missing, I look at everyone getting lost in the movie when I notice something wrong

"Where's Lilly?" I asked

They all looked around "she's not here" Emily says

I got up and check the guest bedroom, she's not there, I checked our bedroom she's not there, I even looked in the hallway closet

"Guys I can't find her" I say walking back into the living room

"Was the front door already open?" Ethan asked

I look to see the front door can't fully close

I walk out of our apartment, and down the hall, I didn't know where I was just walking around

It was raining hard outside, I can hear the rain drops hitting the windows, I looked out the window to see a lady wearing a tee shirt and pajama pants

And she holding something, it looked like she was holding a baby, I quickly realize that she was Lilly and I sprinted to the nearest stairs

I ran down the stairs and out the door, I ran almost around the building before I spotted her

"Lilly!" I call her name

She doesn't response she just kept walking. I started to get closer to her

"Lilly!" I call her again

I finally caught up to her, I grabbed her by her arm, making her turn around 

She looked scared and lost "Lilly?" I call her

She looked up at me, a sign of relief covers her face

"Grayson" she faintly says hugging me

I hold onto her "oh god I thought I got lost" she says with scared in her voice

"Come on let's go inside" I say taking her hand and walking back to the building
