Mist Falls

Chapter 14: Hearing the Night

I wake up warm, to warm and sore I can hear the TV, I wiggle a little to loosen the sore muscles, I stretch my legs out and there a grunt as my eyes spring open to find an amused looking Zeek, as someone wraps a hand around my ankle, my eyes wonder down to find Jax's tired sad puppy eyes smiling softly at me.

"I'm sorry, why I'm I on your knee?" I whisper looking back up at Zeek, while trying to keep very still.

"You needed cuddle, so we cuddle," he smiles and I can smell his motor oil smell and a hint of after shave god he smells good, it mixed with something else, fresh cut grass that must be Jax.

"Where is everyone?" I ask looking toward the windows where the sun is setting I must have slept a long time I feel stiff, and oh god I told Mike about the baby, I need to be alone I only hurt everyone around me.

"No stop, they are fine, Mike is fine, he went out for a little while with Phoenix and Fox they will be fine, you will be fine," he says in a deep voice you wouldnt think it would be calming but it is.

"Where is Jett?" I ask looking around at the empty seats, my heart burns in my chest lettting me know the pain is always there, no matter what lie I tell myself.

"Working in the basement," Jax smiles as I sit up they both help me to stand and stand with me making sure I don't fall, could I be any more of a burden to these guys.

"Sorry I'm gonna go clean up and lay down for a while thank you for helping me," I smile as best as I can and turn to leave when Zeek grabs my arm turning me softly.

"We like helping you, you don't have to go," Zeek smiles, yes I do, I don't need to drag anyone down with me, I already draged Mike into my hell.

"No really I want to get rid of this pool smell and go to sleep," I smile and leave the room I can hear them whispering behind me but I don't even try to listen I just need to be alone.

Once in my room I take a very quick shower change into some PJ's before climing into bed, I leave the star lights on low as I drift into a light sleep.

Footsepts wake me, loud passing up and down the hall outisde my door and wonder if Mike home and he pissed but I have never even seen Mike pass I wonder if its one of the other guys, gaurding my door but why would they be out there.

I try to go back to sleep as I turn over and peer at the clock midnight, I groan as I turn back toward the door wishing who ever it was would pace quietly and let me sleep, I sigh after anouther few moments and get up walking slowly to the door.

I open reach for the handle and the pacing seems to come to a stop right outside the door, I wait and all is dead the night seems so still like the world is taking a breath as it waits for me to open the door my heart starts beating fast in my chest and sweat coats my hands.

I reach and turn the handle before swinging the door open expecting to see someone standing right there I'm greeted with the empty hallway, this is so not funny, I pair out in the darkness only the glow of the moon lighting the hall funny I have never seen the light off before.

I use my left hand to find the light swich and the hallway is bathed in the soft glow of the lights, again I search and still find nothing and no one, have I finally lost my mind I think I may have because there is no one hear.

The door across from mine is open a crack and I frown I have never seen any of the other rooms up here and I wonder has one of the guys taken to staying across from me in order to keep an eye onme great someone had to change rooms because of me.

I walk out into the icy hallway, god did someone turn the air-con on out hear I shiver as I make my way to the door, I reach out and place my hand on the door knob, all of the hair on the back of my neck seems to stand on end.
