Unexpected

14.

The sun was burning on my skin.

It was a hot summer day and i was at the beach with my family. It was a last minute decision from my mom, she said that it was time for family bonding.

I had happily agreed with her and helped her make sandwiches that we would eat later.

The beach was completely empty when we arrived. I thought that was rather odd but i liked that we had the beach to ourselves.

My mom and dad put the blankets down while my brother and i ran towards the water.

"Don't go to far!" My mother yelled at us.

"We won't!" I yelled cheerfully back.

I shivered when my toes hit the water. I didn't want to enter the ocean anymore, it was way to cold.

But my brother pushed me in the water.

"Asshole" i said while i tried to splash water over him.

Soon we were both splashing around, laughing.

I turned around with a big smile on my face. "Come join-" i stopped myself when i saw a big truck riding through the sand. It was coming straight towards my parents.

I quickly ran out the water. "Dad watch out!" I yelled at him.

He didn't hear me, he waved at me with a big smile on his face.

Within seconds the truck hit him. I immediately closed my eyes, not wanting to see it happen.

The truck was gone when i opened my eyes again.

My mom was now standing next to Jack with their backs faced to me.

I ran over to them. I pushed them away so that i could see what they were looking at.

My dad was laying in a hole that was dug into the sand. His eyes were closed and he was bleeding from multiple places.

"Do something." I sobbed to my mother.

"Don't worry honey, i will." She said while stepped closer to the hole.

"What are you doing?"

She closed her eyes and when she opened them again they were white.

I quickly pulled Jack away from her and stepped back.

"Mom?" I said in a panicked voice.

"It's all good, I'm better now." She spoke while blood came form her mouth.

She took a step back and fell into the hole.

I fell to my knees and wanted to hug Jack but he wasn't there anymore. All i had was a pile of sand in my hand.

"No,no,no" i mumbled.

The water kept getting closer to me. I didn't dare to move towards the hole so i stayed seated.

The water was slowly getting higher and higher. I closed my eyes and trew myself back, into the ocean.

I woke up gasping for air. Jack stood next to my bed with a empty cup in his hand.

"Time to wake up." He said grinning.

"You little shit." I said out of breath.

He gave me a big smile and walked out of the room.

I fucking hated him right now.

He had left my door open which annoyed the crap out of me.

I wanted to step out of my bed and close the door. But before i could even got out of bed i started to cough, probably because Jack had trown fucking water in my face.

My mom walked past my room. We made eye contact for a second before she closed the door without saying a word.

After i minute my lungs decided that i could breathe normal again. I wondered what made my mom react the way she did but then again i couldn't really care less.

I got out of bed and got ready for a day of doing nothing. My mom had given me and Jack a day off school to 'settle in'. Like i would be settled in in one bloody day.

I was brushing my hair when i heard the door close and a car start, somebody had left the house.

I walked downstairs and saw Ashton, Luke and Jack in the living room.

"Ah oh cruella has arrived." My brother said as soon as he saw me.

He had made that name up because i had dyed my hair half white once.

He hadn't called me that in while so i was suprised to hear it again. He was starting to have an attitude now that i wasn't in charge of him anymore.

"Suck my dick." I said to him in low voice so that he could only hear it if he was really listening.

"Come guys that's no way to talk to each other." Luke said a little shocked of the situation.

I ignored him and walked into the kitchen. He didn't need to tell me what to do.

I wasn't hungry so i just made some coffee, they had a pretty fancy coffee machine.

Ashton joined me in the kitchen while i waited for my coffee to be done.

He cleared his troat. "You need to watch your language in front of your brother." He said without a lot of confidence in his voice.

"Too late for that." I said not interested in a lecture.

He didn't try to argue with me on that one. He probably realised that i wasn't going to listen to him anyways.

"You're coming with me to the hospital today." He said, this time confidently.

"Why?" I asked while i took a sip of my coffee.

"Remember our deal?" He said with a smirk.

I sighed, if course i remembered that bloody deal. I had to have one goddamm therapy sessions with him.

"Fine, what time are we leaving?"

"In 30 minutes. Don't forget to eat something before we leave, coffee isn't breakfast. " He said while he left the kitchen

"I will." I said with my fingers crossed, i wasn't planning on eating right now.

I walked out of the kitchen and went to join my brother and Luke on the couch.

The were watching an documentary about animals in Africa. I tried to watch it but i quickly zoned out. I thought about my nightmare. I hadn't had one in a few months and i also never had a nightmare were Jack and my mom were in.

"Becky?" I suddenly heard.

I shook myself awake. "What?" I mumbled to Luke who was the one that had said my name.

"You okay? I've said your name like 4 times." He asked concerned.

"Yeah, i just didn't sleep that well."

"Nightmares?"

I didn't want him to know that i had a nightmare but i also couldn't think of another good explanation.

"I also didn't sleep well." Jack said in soft voice.

I turned to him confused. "Why?"

"I had forgotten to close my closet door so i kept thinking that something was standing in the closet. And that whatever was inside was going to come and scare me as soon as i moved."

I tried to contain my laughter. He was trying to act so tough while he was still scared of monster's in his closet.

Luke didn't laugh and put an arm around Jack. "You want me to check your closet tonight?"

Jack nodded and leaned into Luke's hold.

Seeing that made my realise how much i missed being held. I wrapped my own arms around me and leaned back into the couch.

Soon Ashton came into the living room with a big smile.

"Time to go. You ready?"

I shrugged.  "I guess so."
