Naughty and Nice

Chapter 16

Jack J's pov

Jack's and mine room was right next to Annabelle's and Hayden's.

"No please!" We heard. Jack and I sit up and look at each other. That was Annabelle. We jump out of our beds. We run into her bedroom with her crying to herself.

"Hayden, hurry home." She whispered in her sleep. Jack gets on one side and I get on the other. We snuggle.

"Shush, princess, she'll be home soon. Don't worry, we are here." She wakes up and looks at us.

"I'm sorry that I woke you." She whispers. I check the time, 5. Jack scoots in closer behind her and I lay my head on the top of hers. Jack lays his head on her cheek.

"It's fine, princess." Jack says. She snuggles deeper into my chest.

"Can you guys be my brothers? I miss Hayden."

"Yep, think of us as your brothers." She says something but falls asleep. Jack and I shared a look. Something happen when Hayden wasn't home. I feel so sorry for them. They just push us away every time we get close. Jack and I nod to each other and fall asleep with Annabelle in our arms.

I woke up at 8, like always. I notice that I have two set of arms around me. Then I remember last night. The dream, it was about that thing with my Uncle. I was so scared. I snuggle into Jack and Jack. I couldn't go back to sleep. I wanted to get up. I slip out without them knowing. I could become a spy. I got my outfit ready and was downstairs in a small amount of time. I get my paycheck today. I run downstairs and skip breakfast like always. Like lunch and dinner. I know you can see my ribs, that's why I don't wear tight shirts and half shirts anymore. I run out the door and was walking down the street. I don't know why but I feel like crying. I guess it's because Hayden and I have been through so much. It's hard to hold back the pain we feel. Losing our parents, abusive aunt and uncle, having to work, supporting each other, lying to people, trying to survive. It's so much for 14 years old to do. Working many jobs.

"Why did you have to leave us?" I whisper to our dead parents who might be watching us. "Were we not good enough? What did we do to deserve this?" I said getting louder. I look at the time 8:45. I'll be there in plenty of time. I walk to the stables. I want to cry but I can't. I find Sugarplum. I pet her. I've had Sugarplum even before we moved to our Aunt's and Uncle's. She's 3 years old. As soon as she was born, we bought her. I cared for her. That's why I told our Aunt that I could ride and if she let me keep her I would work. She let me.

"Sugarplum, I'm so confuse. I don't know what to do anymore." She nuzzles me. I chuckle.

"How have been treating ya?" She neighs.

"Good." I saddle her up and ride her around. I go to my normal training.

We woke up, Annabelle has already left. We walked downstairs. Hayden was here. We walk to her.

"Can we talk to you?" She nods. We talk her to the kitchen.

"Ok so Annabelle was crying and screaming in her sleep last night. Did something happen when you weren't there?" She shakes her head. She was in deep thought.

"I'll talk to her." We nod and leave. I really want to know.

After work I got my paycheck. It was yesterday's and today's combine. It has 450 dollars. I stuff it in my pocket and left. I was walking home at 8 and stop at the door. I stop. I went to our bedroom window and climb in it. I then climb on the roof. I watch Hayden look up here. She was looking for me. She spots me against my hiding abilities. She climbs up.

"What's wrong?" I turn away from her.

"Nothing. I just.... it's hard to talk about. I'm fine though." I smile a sad and fake smile and she shrugs. We look at the stars and start pointing out the ones our dad told us. We spot the star that was name after us. Yes our family bought us a star.

"As along as it's there, we will always be together." We recite together.

"Do you think Mom and Dad are watching us through that star?" I ask.

"Yeah, I do. One day, we'll see then again." I nod.

"I miss them."

"I do too." She sits up and turns to me. "let's head inside and go to sleep." I nod and we jump down into our window. We lay down together.

"I love you, Hayden."

"I love you, too, Annabelle." With that to mind, we both fell asleep.
