Crazy Love

Chapter 43

Jerome's POV

"We're hommeeee!" Mitch says as we open the door. In the most calm way, Lilac fast-walks up to Mitch and he slams his stuff on the floor, immediately swinging Lilac around in hug at the front door.

"Hey," Jenny says as she walks towards me, slowly, holding Lily. Her hand is draped over her eye like she's tired.

"Hey," I say, enclosing her in a one-handed hug. Lily reaches out for me, fisting and un-fisting her hands over and over. I set my stuff down and take Lily.

"I'll take your stuff," Jenny mumbles quietly."Then I'll get more caffeine..."

"Caffeine? Why caffeine?" I ask.

"No reason," she says, not-so-innocently.

"Fooooood?!" Lily says.

"Lily, calm your little butt down! I just gave you food! What is up with this child?!" Jenny says.

"Come on."

We go upstairs and unpack all my stuff. We keep Lily on our bed while we unpack.

"So, how was PAX?" Jenny asks me.

"Fun, how was your 'girl time'?"

"It was okay. As you can probably tell, we cleaned the house and I taught Lilac some stuff."

"I watched all your YouTube videos that you uploaded."

"You did?" she asks.

"Yeah."

"What did you think?"

"Lots of single player videos. Why didn't you record with Lilac or anyone?"

"Um... Because?"

"What was the reason?" I ask, expectant.

"I couldn't..." she whispers the last word,"sleep..."

"Did you sleep at all?" I ask, concerned of why she wouldn't sleep.

"I recorded a ton of videos every night, though!"

"You didn't sleep?!" I ask.

"No, I couldn't fall asleep..."

"I'm surprised you haven't passed out! People need sleep!"

"I know. I'm just used to having my husband,"she pokes me,"right next to me, to help me sleep..."

"You can't expect me to always be there, you there's gonna be Mincon, PAX, etc."

"I know..."

"FOOODD!!" Lily screams.

"Calm down! We'll get you food! I swear, she only knows how to say 'food' and 'more'." Jenny says.

We take Lily downstairs. Jenny gets some caffeine in her while I feed Lily some Creeps (creeper peeps) that Tiffany made.
