Tebow and the Girl

Dr. Kiloton

I open my eyes and roll over to look at the time. It was after seven and Jax should be up already. I hurry out of bed and slip on the jeans I had on the night before. I hurry to the room he slept in. he wasn't there so I hurried down the stairs and found Jax and Alan playing in the living room.

"Alan do you know where your daddy is?"

"No." He continues to play.

"Jax, do you know where Uncle Henry is?"

"Nope." The two play with their cars. I go to the kitchen and pour myself a cup of coffee. I head for the living room, but the door behind me slams shut causing me to drop my cup and it shatters everywhere. 

"Hey what's going on in here?" Zach says. You can here the little feet pattering against the floor and Jax and Alan stop in the doorway.

"Mommy! Mommy! Are you okay?" Jax screeches. 

"Yes I'm fine Jax. Uncle Henry and Zach just scared me. I'm fine. You two go play." The two boys run back to the living room. I sigh and turn to Zach and Henry. "Now you two boys have explaining to do."

"What?"

"Two kids. Under age six. Not supervised. Really how stupid are you two? Really? Henry I give you a little leaning room because you don't have a kid, but learn from this. And Zach you should know better! They could have gotten hurt! Gotten into something they shouldn't have gotten into! You two should be ashamed!"

"W-we...uh" Zach starts.

"No you don't have an excuse. They are only three. They need supervision guys. Really." I start to pick up the pieces of the cup. 

"Hey don't clean that up. You could get up. Get one of the maids to do it." I look to Henry who look like he was serious. "Really you don't want to get cut." Henry go to a phone that looks like it was a land line. "Hey Layla I need to have one of you in the kitchen. A cup was dropped.. It had coffee in it. Yup. Okay. Thank you. Yup. Okay. " He puts the phone back on the wall and looks to me. "Ella get off the floor. Layla is coming up to clean the mess up."

"Henry, I can do this, it's fine." I pick up a piece of the cup.

"Get up." He says in an over-powering voice. I drop the piece making it cut me and I stand up. Then I go to the living room with the boys. I sit on the couch and watch the two play.

I look at my hand and there is a cut down the palm. It's pretty deep. I run my finger next to the cut and wince in pain. It's bad. I look down at the blood that dripped down to the shirt and I realized it was Louis's shirt. I sank into the couch and pulled the shirt closer around me. I lean my head against the back of the couch. 

"Mommy are you okay?" Jax looks to me.

"I'm fine baby." A hand is put on my shoulder. I look up and Henry is there. I jump up from the couch and look to him. "Henry, I-I.."

"Ella we need to talk please." He scratches his head and looks to me. "Please Ella." He walks towards the kitchen and I watch him leave. I stand there and think.. do I go or not? I decided it's best to go. I walk to the kitchen and the mess is cleaned up.

"Okay what do you what to talk about?" I put my hand on my hip and wince slightly.

"Are you okay?" Zach says from the other side of the counter. Henry comes over to me and moves my hand so he can see it. I wince in pain again.

"This is why I didn't want you to be messing with it in the first place!" Henry lets go and slams his hand in the counter. "Goddammit Ella! Why the hell did you have to disobey me!?" He rubs his temples and crosses his arms against his chest.
