leaving life for love (Clay LaBrant)

chapter 23 part 2

"Braedan what happened? Who's gone?" I asked worriedly "t-there w-was a-a b-bomb, and t-they're gone. The Watsons B-Becca a-and W-Weston." Instead of crying, i just sat there not moving or anything, i was in so much shock. Why does it always have to be the people i care about who die? Well god gained some angels this morning all from my family and friends.

"Justine are you ok?" Clay asked breaking me from my thoughts. "Huh...oh yeah, i would be crying, but i cant, my body won't let anymore tears come out." He just pulled me into a hug and rested his chin on top of my head while he brushed his fingers through my hair. Ok God will you please not take anymore of the people i love, i seriously have no one left to lose, because if i lose any of the people in this house or the ones next door, i will die.

*knock* *knock* I got up and answered the door to see a teary eyed Weston. I instantly hugged him. "I-I thought we lost you." I said crying into his chest. "I was the only one to get away, Only Landon and I are left in our family." I quickly sat up That was the worst dream ever! I quickly got up, and walked into Jersey's room, and she was safely sleeping in her bed, I walked over to her and climbed in with her. She opened her eyes, then just hugged me, knowing i had a bad dream.

"What happened this time?" she asked looking at me. "You died, and the watsons got bombed." "Aw, i promise, i'll never let god take me from you, unless it's from old age." "I love you." "i love you too, and go back to bed, we have to pick Landan up from the hospital tomorrow." "really?" I asked happily because i missed having him sleep in my bed with me. "Yeah, if his blood test say he's cancer free." I just sighed, then got up and walked back to my room.

I looked through my window once i got into my room, and saw that Clay was asleep with his head resting on the window seal. "Clay." I whispered waking him up. "Hmm..." "1. why aren't you in your bed, and 2. Landan might come home tomorrow, if his blood test come back saying he's cancer free." "I heard you screaming in your sleep, and you were crying. and yay, i miss seeing his real smile, we all know he was faking his smile." "Yeah i had a bad dream." "I'm sorry, what happened this time?" "Jersey died, and then Weston's family died except him and Landon."

"Aw baby im sorry, want to watch a movie?" "Sure." I climbed through his window, and he put on a movie. Instead of laying down on his bed, i just layed on the floor. Clay just draped a blanket on me, and kissed my forehead, then laid down in his bed and watched the movie, i ended up falling asleep, because i was really tired.

<<<Next Morning>>>

I woke up in Clay's Bed alone, ugh that was a horrible dream that i had before i came here. Right as i sat up Clay came into the room. "Morning, Braedan just left to go to the hospital. He said that he will text us if anything happens." "okay." I just laid back down, because i honestly don't feel like waking up yet. "Night." I mumbled curling up into the warm blankets and slowly drifted off to sleep.

I woke up again to see Clay sitting on the bed with Jace on his lap, Watching vines. I pretended to still be asleep, and just watched them. Clay kissed the top of Jace's head, and said "I love you baby boy." and that just melted my heart, he really does love the twins. I slowly moved my hand towards his, and intertwined our fingers. He looked at me and smiled. "Morning, again." He said chuckling "Morning." I sat up, and kissed Jaces cheek, making him smile.

"Oh, Braedan texted me saying that Landan is completely health, and he will be home in about an hour." "Okay, do you hear that buddy, Landan's coming home!!" I said lifting Jace up and sat him down on my lap so he was facing me. "Yay!!" He clapped his little hands, and hugged me. I just rubbed his back, while he started to snore softly. "so what are we going to do today?" I asked Clay "Um...want to go to the beach again, but with everyone?" "Sure."
