Hope In Their Eyes: book 2

Chapter 26: Caring

It was morning now and after my little incident, I started to get so very hungry. Perks of being pregnant with two babies to feed. I was so tired as well and the morning sickness was so bad. I tried to cook for Sam but every once in awhile all that comes up is puke. So Sam told me to rest and that he would cook for me, as much as I didn't want him too. I was in no condition to cook.
      He sat a plate of French toast in front of me and chocolate milk. I felt stars form on my eyes, I thought he'd forgotten my favorite by now. I took a bite in it and felt the  sweet savory food, fulfill my taste buds. "I see you still love french toast, I didn't doubt it." Sam smiled and kissed my cheek. "I'm going to go grocery shopping, but no I'm not leaving you alone again, not ever like I said so I invited your friends to come," Sam said. I kinda just looked at him and I nodded.
    "You alright?" He asked. I smiled, " yes, I'm good with that." The door bell rang, that's them he grabbed his keys then opened the door. "Thanks again." He kissed my cheek then went past them. There they all were, Josh, Crystal, and Zack. I felt like I had babysitters which in this case I did. "Heyyy girl, we are totally having a great night!" Crystal exclaims and pulls me into a hug. I smiled and tapped her gently, hugging her awkwardly. She didn't seem to bothered by it though. "Where's Kye?" I asked Josh.
     "Oh my sexy man, he is working," Josh responded.  I nodded and Josh hugged me to which I responded with a gentle tap. Zack took in my reactions and decided against the hugging. "Hey, you plan on coming back to work, everyone is worried about you?" Zack asked. Crystal gave him a stern look as to not ask that. "Actually yes, it'd be the best option for me, maybe I can adjust again?" I said.
     "What does Sam think about this?" Crystal asked. I haven't asked him of course, Josh responded for me. "She doesn't need his permission, and it will be good for her, if anyone knows Skits best, it's me and that's just what she needs to get out there more," Josh responded. Crystal nodded I'm understanding. "Yes, but she needs to talk to Sam about it." Crystal glared at Josh. To which Zack stepped between and grabbed my hand dragging me to the living room. "Okay, okay but that is between them, let's not stress her out over it." Zack dragged me to the movie screen and looked for a movie to play.

    "What should we watch, what genre?" Zack questioned. I shrugged not paying attention to what was placed in the dvd, I was more distracted by the fact I wanted to return to work. I just want everything to go back to normal and I was focused on making that happen. "I'll make kettle corn," crystal suggested and headed into the kitchen. While the boys sat on the couch on either side of me. "Are you caring for my god child's," Josh asked. I nodded and smiled some, snapping out of my thoughts. "I actually can't believe your having twins, and after everything you been through, you kept them protected and got out of it," Zack said. You call this lucky? Traumatized by the past and worried about your children turning out bad because of that.

"If you call that getting out of it, because I call it surviving barely," I said. And the guys both looked at me. Josh hugged me tightly, " pish posh, skits you got out of that and many people wouldn't make it through, don't put yourself lower." Zack nodded in agreement. "Kettle corn is done," Crystal came back in the room and placed the kettle corn on my lap. " your in the middle so we should place it there." She said and smiled. I just nodded and held the popcorn as everyone dug in. Put I wasn't enjoying it when I realized what movie we were watching.

We was watching one of the Saw movies and I started having an inner breakdown. But I just told myself to remain calm, it's just a movie and that I shouldn't ruin this. So I tried and I was on the limit of my scale, once the torture started and the held hostage situation I was already done. I dropped the popcorn on the floor and ran in the room and locked it so I wouldn't be bothered. "Sky!" Zack and crystal shouted up the stairs. "What's going on Skits?" Josh was by the door remaining calm asking me. There was no way in the room besides the door and the windows which was to high up outside to reach me.
"Sweetie let us in so we can be there for you,"Josh said. I shook my head and went into the bathroom locking that door too, " I huddled in the corner holding my head, with my legs out because my belly was huge and I couldn't do the knee thing. Every torture scheme ran through my head over and over, I felt like I was back there again and I panicked so much that I felt my consciousness fading.
