RECAP: "Josh why are they trying to kill just me and not you?" He got up from the couch. "I need to get something to drink I'll be right back." I was freaking out. I turned around and looked at Jake, he was trying to hold back his anger and tears. I felt bad for him. No wonder he was freaking out, he had went against who knows what to get me back the other night. I crawled in his lap and rested my head on his chest. He wrapped his strong arms around me and brought me closer which was impossible. Josh walked in and looked at us, but didn't say anything. I just needed Jake's comfort. I felt really bad about the other night. He didn't know what he was up against when he followed me, and he didn't even know if he was going to be able to get me back. I loved Jake like a brother and it would hurt me just as bad to lose him as it would to lose Josh. I snuggled closer to him.
END OF RECAP!!!
When Josh sat down from getting his drink he had a sad look in his eyes. I wanted to start crying, it was really scaring me the way he looked when he looked down at me. He came and put his arm around me even though I was in Jakes lap.
"Sydney, the reason they aren't trying to kill me is because you're the baby girl. Which means that even though mom and dad love us the same it would hurt a lot if they lost their baby girl, and that's why they want to go after you. They have this crazy thing in their heads that mom and dad are the reason that their son was killed. It would make sense for them to come after me, but seeing as he was their only child they want it to hurt mom and dad the way it did them." I looked up at him stunned. How could they do that to us?
"Did mom and dad really kill their son?" Josh was shaking his head before I even got the whole question out. I knew mom and dad would never do something like that, but there was always a possibility. I had the worst feeling in my stomach. What if they couldn't find me and they killed Josh? Just thinking about that made me pure sick. I would die if I didn't have Josh, my life would be nothing without him. I wouldn't be able to function at all. Josh pulled me off of Jakes lap and onto his.
"Syd, you know that mom and dad could never do that. They might have a weird job or whatever that requires that kind of stuff, but even you know that they would never kill someone on purpose like that. They know that they have us at home and that would set a really bad example on us." He chuckled when he said that and I just had to laugh along with him when he laughed like that. I snuggled deeper into his chest, I hated the thought of never being able to be held by him again. After a couple of minutes of silence, I let out a huge yawn. Josh looked down at me and laughed.
"Looks like someone needs to go to bed...like right now." I grinned and he picked me up and took me upstairs and laid me down. Jake came in my room and told Josh that he now sleeps with me because of the incident. I was waiting for Josh to freak out, but he didn't. I didn't care if he freaked out or not because I still needed Jake again tonight. I looked at Josh with pleading eyes. I could see in his eyes him give in, he looked over at Jake and nodded his head for him to go out of the room with Josh following him.
Jake's POV
Josh nodded his head for me to go out into the hall so I did and he followed me out and we stepped into the hallway. I knew what was coming, I mean who wouldn't do it if they had a little sister?
"Okay, so I don't like the fact that my best friend now sleeps in my baby sisters bed. I can't say that I don't trust you it's just that she's my little sister and I would take a bullet for her and if you even lay one finger on her I will rip your head off. I can't even believe I'm going along with this, but I know that she needs someone with her at all times and I guess it should be you since she trusts you like that. I would, but I'm going to be keeping an eye on the first floor so you have the whole second story for yourself. I really don't know why you can't just sleep on the floor or get a sleeping bag or even an inflatable mattress or something." He was looking at me with pleading eyes. I just had to mess with him.
"Josh why in the world would I sleep on the floor when I can sleep in a warm and comfy bed with my best friends sister while he is down stairs losing sleep over it?" I busted out laughing at the look on his face, he looked like he was going to kill me right there. He was about to say something, but stopped himself and started walking down the stairs.
"Hey Josh!" He turned around and glared at me. "Just remember that while your down there I'm up here in the bed with your sis and I'm having a great time." He gave me a look that would kill me if looks could kill.
"Jake, if you want to keep all your manly parts then I suggest you stop playing and go to bed before I come up there and rip your head off your neck." I turned around and ran into Sydney's room. I took my shirt and jeans off leaving me in my boxers, I didn't think she would mind.
Sydney's POV
I felt Jake climb in the bed with me, I rolled over so that I was facing him. He instantly put his arms around my waist and pulled me as close to him as he could get as if it was a reflex reaction. I looked into his eyes and smiled at him. He close his eyes as if he were going to go to sleep.
"Hey, Jake?" He opened one of his eyes. "Hmm?" I looked up at him. "Why do you do that to Josh? You know he is going to kill you one day." He chuckled shaking the whole bed and looked back to at me.
"So you heard that did you?" I nodded my head. "Syd, if Josh was going to kill me he would have done it a really log time ago. Besides neither one of you could live without me." It was my turn to laugh then. "What's so funny Syd? You could live without me? I'll just leave right now then." I grabbed his hand and pulled him back down. I turned very serious really quick. I looked into his eyes.
"No, Jake I really don't know what I would do without you. Even though you are conceited sometimes and annoying and stupid. I still love you and I really don't think I would be able to make it without you. You're a big part of me just like Josh and if I ever lost one of you they would have to kill me too because you guys are my life. No matter what happens you will always be a huge part of me, and no one could ever take that away." I thought I caught a glimpse of hurt and anger cross his face. He pulled me closer to ho his chest.
"Syd, you are our lives not the other way around. You would not do away with yourself if something happened to one of us. You would keep on going because you know that's all we would want. Besides there is no way that you are getting rid of me that easily. I mean that dude the other night didn't even get a hit in on me. I'm pretty hard to get rid of and so is Josh, so you have nothing to worry about. So got to sleep we have school tomorrow." He muttered under his breathe 'unfortunately'. I fell asleep with a smile on my face that night. When I woke up the next morning I was alone in the bed so I started freaking out. I screamed like my life depended on it. Jake came running in the room with a angry look on his face, with his arms wide open. I ran and jumped in them and wrapped my legs around him. Weirdly every time I did this it calmed me down instantly. Josh came in my room then and looked at Jake and me. I face still had tears on it, but I wasn't crying anymore. He looked back and forth like he was reading our minds.
"God, Syd all he did was go to the bathroom. It's nice to know you have such faith in us." I was kind of hurt by that. I leaned back in Jake's arms and pointed a finger at Josh.
"Okay, Joshy. Why don't you get kidnapped and cry so hard that you fall out and then wake up in the back of that van. I wake up every morning to the same dreamlike thing and if I could get over it I would, but I haven't so I'm so sorry for being scared." He looked hurt after I said that. He walked over and took me from Jake. He looked down at me with a sad smile on his face.
"I'm sorry Syd, I didn't realize, I'm really sorry for saying that. I didn't mean to upset you." He gave me the puppy dog eyes, which I can never not forgive. I hugged him to tell him I forgave him then jumped down and ran down the stairs for a quick breakfast before I got dressed. When I finished I went upstairs and got dressed with my hair curled with a Hollister dress with blue and while squares on it with pink lines. I put on a pair of white ballet flats and ran down the stairs.
