Somebody to You

Ch. 44.

“I let you know when anything pops up. Thanks for your time,Mr. Jonas.” the police shook my hand and headed out, I sighed as I scratched my head walking over to Nick, “They said we’re doing the right thing about taking the girls here...and they anything else bad pops up,they will give us a call..” I glanced at him,his head was in his hands.

“I called mom..I gave her an update on what was all happening..and she offered to keep Damon for the night...so I thought that would be best,since you probably don’t want to handle a child..right now.” I placed my hand on his back, “Thanks.” I sighed.

We were both tired from all the chaos. “I’m going to check up on Chloe..I’ll be back..” I got up, “Don’t worry about it.. I’m going to check up on Demi,then I’ll meet you in Chloe’s room.” Nick got up, I nodded, “Alright,brother.” I headed to Chloe’s room. “Baby!!” Chloe threw her arms to me,I pulled her close as I could without hurting the babies. “Don’t leave me,please.”

I kissed the top of her head, “I’m right here,baby. Always. I’m not leaving. Everything is good now.” I laid my chin onto of her head,closing my eyes. “I love you,Joe..I don’t want to lose you… I almost lost you.”

I climbed into bed with her,cuddling her, “You weren’t going to lose me...look,baby,you helped us,you saved us. I love you so much.” I kissed all over her face. “I had to...I didn’t want my husband and my brother in law to die...and I did what I had to do..I was tired of that shit.”

“You’re my superhero baby..” I kissed her knuckles, “The true superheroes are you and your brother,not me. I really didn’t do anything, I just pointed a gun at him.”   

“Yeah,but if you didn’t do that,maybe things would end different..if you know,didn’t come in with the gun..” I played with her fingers, “If I didn’t come in,you wouldn’t have had a gun pointed to your head.” I let go of her hand and slide it down to her bump. “Hey,when do I usually have a gun pointed to my head?” I smirked,trying to make her laugh, “It’s a one time experience.” I kissed her forehead.

“Hey.” Nick walked in, “How you doing Chloe?” I sat down, “I’m doing okay,I guess...just a little in shock..How is Demi?” she rubbed my knuckles,looking at Nick, “Well…” Nick sighed,looking at the ground, “Demi is catatonic..” I heard all of us sigh, the room filled with silence. “Whoa, dude… I’m sorry.” I got up and patted his back, “Thanks,brother. I’m glad you’re okay,are the girls okay too?” he put his hands in his pockets.

“Yeah,hopefully...the doctor hasn’t came to tell us the results.” I sat back down, “You and Joe are true heroes,Nick.” Chloe gleamed a smile, Nick shook his head smirking, “We had to save who we love. Thank you for helping,Chlo.” Nick gave her a small smile. “I didn’t do anything,but thank you.”

“Of course you did.” Nick tapped her arm, “Well,thanks I guess..” she giggled, “I should go..I think I should be with Demi. Thanks again,Chloe. See you,brother.” Nick waved, “Good luck,bro.” I leaned my arms  on my legs, looking at the ground, “What’s wrong,babe?” Chloe put her hand on my shoulder.

“Nothing.” I started yawning, “I’m just tired. Long day.” I gave her a small smile, “I forgot to ask you, how was the festival?” I chuckled a little, “It was fun. Nick killed it! Here I got it on video.” I gave her my phone to watch the video.

“He’s awesome!” Chloe smiled, “My favorite song that he perform would have to be jealous.” I nodded, “I like Push.” Chloe handed my phone back to me as the doctor came in, “Seems like everything is fine. The twins are fine, non stressful damage or anything, you’re free to go, Mrs. Jonas.” the doctor gave her papers to signed the we headed home.

We got home pretty late so we headed straight to bed, Chloe was hesitant at first,but she eased up. “Good night,beautiful.” I pecked her lips before closing my eyes.

Around 3 in the morning I woke up to an awful, unforgettable scream and cry, I sat up, “Chloe?!” I looked at her, “Chloe!! It’s okay, I’m here..it’s just a dream!” I pulled her close, she started sobbing on my chest uncontrollably. “It was so vivid..They actually killed you and Nick.” I stroke her hair, “Well,it’s not true… I’m here and okay..Nick is alive and okay.”

“I love you,Joe...please don’t leave me.” she grabbed onto my shirt, I kissed the top of her head,I came up with an idea to help her relax. I got up from the bed and scooped her off the bed, I took her to our bathroom and turned on the bath tub and filled it up with bubbles. I waited for it to fill up. I stripped Chloe’s clothes so she’s only on her under garments. I got her in the tub,then I took off my shirt and pants, and got in behind her. I started massaging her shoulders.

“It’s going to be okay,love.” I kissed her neck, “I love you too.” she laid her head back.

I moved her hair to one side, “Hey there Chloe, don't you worry about the distance. I'm right there if you get lonely,give this song another listen.Close your eyes..” I sang in her ear,making her blush, “Stop.”

I begin singing another song, “If I lay here,if I just lay here,would you lie with me and just forget the world?” I whispered in her ear.

“You can stop singing,Jonas.” she patted my cheek, “You forgot that I was into acting and singing a few years ago.” I laid my lips on her shoulder blade.  

After awhile we got out and watched tv on our bed, she finally fell back asleep and didn’t wake up again.

The next day after breakfast, I called Nick for an update, still nothing new, she hasn’t been speaking, “See ya later,bro. Bye.” I hung up, “She’s still in catatonic..” I sighed.

We headed over to my parent’s house to visit Damon, “Hey,I’m glad you guys are okay.” my mom hugged us once we got in, “Yeah,we are too...We’re all okay,but Demi is in shocked…”

“That’s terrible!” My mom covered her mouth, “Yeah, I know… She’s not talking to Nick or anyone..” I walked to the living room,finding Damon coloring, “Squirt.” I smiled, he turned his head, he dropped his crayon and ran to me, “Daddy!!!” I got on my knees and opened my arms.  I hugged him tight, “I miss you,daddy.”

I was crying,but tears were flooding out of my eyes, “I miss you too,Damon.” I sniffled, I looked up and saw Chloe covering mouth,looking like she was about to cry.  “Why you crying,daddy?” he giggled, “Well..uncle Nick and I had to take down some bad guys and I was afraid I was going to be gone..” I carried him to the couch. “You and Nick a hewo?” he stood on my lap.

“I guess you can say that.” I chuckled, his face lit up, “You can be superman because your hair and Whloe can be superwoman.” I chuckled, “And Nick can be the Hulk because he has big arms like Hulk..”

I threw my heart back laughing, “What about your mommy?”

“She can be..uh….catwoman!” I laughed, ”Good choice!” he then sat down, “ I think you need to draw your mommy a picture because she’s upset.” he hopped off my lap, “Can you help me,daddy?”

“Yeah sure.” I went and help him draw a picture for Demi.
