The Elements You Can't See

So That Happened..

>Emily's POV

"So you still mad at Jordan?"

"No why?"

"You still seem angry."

"No we're good"

"EMILY HONEY? CAN YOU COME HELP ME FOR A SECOND?"

"YES HOLD ON MOM!!"

I walked away leaving Brax to dust off the shelves. My mom decided to clean up the house today and he just happened to knock at the door when she told me the news about cleaning Sunday. I walked into my moms room and she was pushing a box across the floor.

"Can you help me move these boxes into the closet?"

"Sure."

I moved a box away from the wall and pushed it across the room to the closet. I was surprised by all the boxes against the wall. I then saw Brax out of the corner of my eye and looked at him. My mom then noticed him and stopped pushing the box.

"Um.."

"Just call me Gemma, Brax"

"There's been an incident.."

"What?"

We both followed Brax out into the hall. There was a few claw marks on the wall and one clawed up curtain. Brax even had on his jacket. Then a cat came down the stairs and stopped. My mom ran after it trying to catch it. Brax and I just stood there as she went up the stairs after the cat.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine"

"Then why do you have on your jacket?"

I gave him the I-know-already-don't-lie-to-me face. he sighed and rolled up the sleeves. He had claw marks all over his arm with blood here and there. I held his arm rubbing my fingers over his skin lightly, but he still winced.

"I was trying to get it back out, but it didn't work.. Please, we can't let your mom know.."

He was right. If she knew she would never forgive herself and freak out. She was always that way, like something so bad had happened and she still hasn't forgiven herself for it. I led Brax into my moms bedroom and to her bathroom. I turned on the water just a little so my mom wouldn't hear. He put his arm under the water as I looked for some medicine.

"GET BACK HERE YOU CAT!"

We could hear my moms footsteps thumping above us.

"Hurry Emily"

"I'm trying"

"EMILY! COME HERE!"

I tossed the medicine at Brax and ran up the stairs. My mom was in the guest room where a lot more boxes were. I could see the cat hissing and trying to claw her from a box.

"Can you help me?"

My mom had a bunch of claw marks on her already. I didn't expect her to ask it, my mom almost never asks for help. I hesitantly walked up to the box. The cat hissed and tried to claw me.

"Shhh.."

I reached up with one hand and pet it. It seemed to calm down. I finally picked it up and walked downstairs with it. Brax was sitting at the kitchen table with his sleeves now damp.

"Come on"

>Jaz's POV

"Oof!"

"Jaz!"

"Sorry!"

"Ugh"

"I told you to sleep on the other side of the room!"
