Dead,but...alive (Raura) ON HOLD

Sleepover!

We were walking slowly towards my house. It was pretty far from Laura's ,so I get they were tired. I looked back at the girls and saw Laura carrying Anica.

"What happened angel?"I asked Anica.

"My fleets hurt."she whined.I chuckled.

"How about Mr. Austin gives you a ride?" I said with a huge smile.

Then her eyes opened big and nodded in my direction,smiling also. I laughed and grabbed her. She is so small. She wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my torso.

"Thank you Mr.Austin."she mumbled in my shoulder. I laughed. It was ticklish.

"No problem sweetheart."I said and continued walking.

"Are you sure you want to carry her Austin? I mean.... I am her mother,I'm used to carry her."she said,playing with her fingers.I smiled sympathetic. I mean Anica was small,but as a normal human being,she was pretty heavy and Laura was small too. A guy should do that. Where is that husband of hers?

"It's ok Laur. I got her."I winked in her direction and she blushed. Why do girls blush when guys wink at them? I mean... I really don't get it honestly,but I made Laura blush,so I'm not complaining at all. ;)

"Thank you."she whispered and the rest of the walk was silent.But like...it wasn't award or something. It was actually really comfortable. I would steal glances from time to time at Laura and I caught her starring at me a few times too. Ugh! I should stop. She is married. We will never be more than strangers. I sighed. I guess I came too late,but I don't remember living a day before this one,so it's weird because I actually know everything around...

Soon we got home and I realised that Anica was asleep in my arms. My little angel. I kissed her head. Wait! She's not my angel! She's her parent's angel. Not mine! Nu-uh. I just want a kid,that's all,but I don't want to steal someone else's of course. Thought... I wouldn't mind if Anica was my kid for sure.

"Make yourself comfortable Laura. I will just put Anica in bed." I said and walked upstairs in the guest room,where I decided that Laura and Anica will sleep. I mean I have plenty of rooms here,but I thought it'd be better if they would sleep together.

I then rushed downstairs and saw Laura on the couch almost crying. I ran up to her and sat on the couch too. Not too close thought. Maybe she wants her personal space. I mean we're basically strangers. I wouldn't want a guy who is a stranger this close to me...if I was a girl I mean.

"Hey. What happened?" I asked and touched her hand. I didn't feel it,but I felt the sparks. Then suddenly she just hugged me out of nowhere. I was in shock at first. I could swear I heard my heart beating. I slowly hugged her back and she started crying on my chest. I brought her closer and squeezed her tight.

"Hey! I'm here. It's ok... You know you can tell me anything." I said,while rubbing her back. She just buried her head in my chest and continued crying. Is it weird that it turned me on? Ah! Yes. Forget it!

"Laur,I'm here. Come tell me.I wanna help you." I said pulling out a bit to look at her face.

Not that I was looking at something else until now. You have no proof to accuse me for that!

(Wow dude! Don't get all defensive XD)

"It's just that... I've never seen Anica so happy before!"she sobbed.

"And why is that a bad thing?"I asked confused.

"Because it reminds me of my husband."she cried.

"I still can't see your point..."

"My husband is dead." Laura said.

"Oh Laur! I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed, but I wasn't actually. Rude, I know but hey! That means I have a chance! Yessss! Now I have to comfort her thought.

"It's just that...I miss him so much!"she started crying again.

"Please calm down." I said,playing with her hair.

"After he died, Anica has been crying everyday, but when you came,she just smiled,she didn't push you away. She wanted you close. What makes you so special? My baby never wanted a guy around her,but she wanted you..."she spoke looking straight in my eyes as if she was looking for answers. She won't find any. I don't have any.

I just stared back at her,no emotion playing on my face because I honestly don't know what's going on. Who am I and what am I doing here... Hah! I don't even know my own age. Or my name,but something is telling me that I'm not this Austin Moon I'm saying I am. What am I doing here !? I do not belong here! Then why am I here?

Questions without answers...Why did I agree about this sleepover. Oh yeah. For the angel who's sleeping peacefully upstairs.

I just stood up and walked in my room. First time I feel how's like to sleep here. I don't like it. Tomorrow I'm gonna figure out everything. But right now I need to rest....

It was past by midnight and I couldn't sleep. I heard a scream and ran towards the guest room. I saw a shadow and Anica crying. Laura was trying to comfort her.

"Shhhh baby! Please don't cry! Momma's here." Laura spoke softly.

"Mr.Austin!"she jumped in my arms. I caught her and sat down.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" I asked worried.

"It was so scary! Please don't leave us!" Anica cried.

"Hey,hey,hey! It's ok.." I tried to convince her.

"Please stay with us."she said. I'm guessing her father loss affected her. I think she feels abandoned.

"It's ok princess. I'm here. I won't leave you."I said and she hugged me tighter. I layed in the bed,next to Anica,with her between Laura and I.

I heard a quiet 'thank you Austin'from Laura. What's going on here!?

All because of this sleepover.
