"K-Keiden. " I managed to croak out through my sobbing self.

"What's wrong tell me Em." he said restlessly as I tried to calm through my sobbing self.

"Calm down bub, listen to me okay. Inhale... Exhale." he said as I followed him repeatedly until I calmed down but tears still slowly drolling down to my cheeks.

"What's wrong bub?" I heard him asked after a minute.

"I-I'm scared Kei." I sobbed out but he didn't respond so I could continue my statements.

"My p-past is triggering again, plus the accident are haunting me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys. " I said as I wiped my tears using my onesie sleeves.

"W-what? You mean... Where are your brothers bub?" he stuttered out then composing himself by asking.

"I guess they're not home, they're at the hospital. I hope your here to stay with me. " I said in my most quite voice.

"Oh Emee, I also wish to be with you right now but whenever you have a nightmare again, just call us without hesitation alright." he said as I hummed in response.

"Before you sleep, you have to think of any happy thought that can make you relax alright. You have to drink milk or water before bed. Don't stress yourself too much please. " he said as he kept reminding me of the steps I did almost two years ago. The steps and do's to get rid of my nightmares. I would normally have my parents or brothers at my side whenever I got my nightmares but I guess they're not here anymore. I still have them though but so far and I also have my brothers to help me right? Right.

"Emee you need to sleep okay, you need it so you can grow taller if you don't want to stay like a dwarf." he teased as he wanted to cheer me up.

"I'm not that short, I'm quite tall for my age if you don't know plus you guys are just abnormal giants. " I said as my demeanor somehow lifted at his antics. I'm more calm now than before as you can only hear my sniffles and a bit of hiccups.

"Yeah, yeah still a shortie. Always be a shortie. Now I want you to lay down on your bed. " he ordered as I did his instruction.

"You're gonna sing for me? Nope, never mind. " I said teasingly as I heard him snort on my phone.

"Shut up brat, now close your eyes. Put your phone first in a speaker mode and put it in your side table." he instructed me as I obediently do his order.

I position myself comfortably on my bed after I putted my phone on my side table. I signalled 'okay' to him as it come out muffled and close my eyes.

"I'm not gonna sing, don't expect me to sing you brat... Now I want you to listen to me only and relax. " he said softly as I hummed in my bed.

"I remember when your seven and you wanted to play hide-and-seek with us. We're too tired that day but you still wanted to play with us so you cried when we decline you. You snitched us with mom so we have no choice but to play with you. Enzo and you hid different places somewhere else while I'm the one who supposed to find you guys. Enzo and I planned to ditch you so we left the game without you knowing and still hiding somewhere else. After for about two hours, our parents asked us 'where is your sister? ' and that was the time we finally remembered that you're still probably hiding. We looked for you everywhere until dad found you under Daisy's dog house, sleeping peacefully as we all sighed in relief. I don't know how did you sleep peacefully there but I know your cold that time. Mom and dad punished us that time for ditching you, so we promised ourselves to protect you at all cost because we all know your stupid like all of the time." he said softly to me I'm starting to doze off to my dreamland land.

"Good night bub, I love you. " was the last time I heard about him before I finally dozed off to my dreamland.

I'm in the living room, waiting for my brothers to come since they didn't come home last night at least one of them.

Thanks to Keiden I slept well again last night without nightmares that keeps disturbing my sleep.

Being alone in this massive house feels like your suffocated and empty without someone with you, you rarely see some people roaming around in here.

I always wanted to mingle with someone I love but it's sad to think that they're not here with me. I'm always alone if it wasn't for Cyry but his not here, he's also in pain.

I felt like I'm left out in the dark, they always left me behind. They wouldn't want me to see Cyry and I kinda understand them for that.

I am out in my dazed when I heard the front door open. I quickly stood up before making my way to greet them.

"You're here." I beamed to them when they reached inside the house. They made their way to the kitchen as I followed them behind.
I already ate my lunch so I just watched them eating, I probably looked like creep so I grabbed the bag of chips and start eating them.

They ate their food quitely as I looked at them expectently. Expecting them to tell me about the situation in the hospital right now, about Cyry.

"How's Cyry?" I asked timidly, trying to form a conversation with them but they kept munching the prepared foods in the table until Ale spoke.

"He's fine. " he said shortly as I narrowed my eyes suspiciously. They seemed so tense as I kept looking at him  intently. At this, Ale sighed before eating his food again.

After eating their lunch, they went upstairs probably to freshen up as I waited for them in the living room.

After awhile, they went downstairs with bags in their hands. I looked at them confuse before standing up to face them.

"Where are you guys going? " I bemused as they diverted their gaze on me.

"We're coming back to the hospital, stay safe while we're at the hospital." Bleuky said as he ruffled my hair gently. How I love their touch and cuddles.

"B-but all of you? How about me? " I stuttered out as I don't like the idea of being alone again, like last night helplessly.

"You're staying here Emery, you're not allowed there. " Ale said intently then look at his watch on his wrist.

"I a-also wanna see Cyry, I don't want to be alone here. " I begged in my wobble lips as I try not to cry.

"Look Emery, it's fine alone in here. You're safe and beside Wilma and other staff are her to stay with you. " Bleuky said while trying to assure me which makes me shook my head vigorously.

"Is it have to be all of you leaving? I also wanna come with you guys. I also---. " I pleaded to them as I was cut off by Erman.

"Fuck it Emery! Stop being selfish and try to understanding the situation right now. When we say you don't have to come then you should not come! Besides we don't want to see you there. " Erman gritted out as my tears are etching to fall down. I quickly gaze the floor with my head down. Don't cry Emery!

How come they are like this, I'm trying to be better for them but I think they despise me so much excluding Cyry though, his always there for me.

"Erman." I heard Ale gritted out menacingly to him as I kept my head down.

"I'm sorry Emery but we have to go. Call us if you need us. " Ale said as he cupped my chin using his fingers to lift my head up.

"Would you really leave me here alone? " I asked in my quiet voice as I heard a sigh from my brothers.

"We will take you there when everything's alright okay? " Bleuky said assuredly as I looked at them hopingly.

"Stop being a pussy." I heard Erman hiss as I ignored him.

"Please don't leave me. Please, I promise I will behave all the time just please don't leave me alone in here. " I begged to them more.

Ale was about to say something when his phone rang, he excused himself before walking outside leaving both Erman and Bleuky behind.

"We'll go now Emery. " Bleuky said as they walked out to the door leaving me with my teary eyes.

I jolted awake from my bad dream as my tears started pouring down again. I massage my temple as my head aches which is no help. I looked at my phone to see it's still 4:35 in the morning.

I calmed myself before standing up to do my morning routine. I'm going to school today rather than staying in this empty mansion.

I did my routine before going to school, don't worry I have my own designated driver. I made it to school early but alone.

As soon as my friends saw me, they freaked out to see my exhausted appearance. I probably looked like a zombie right now since I didn't have so much sleep.

"Are you sure you're okay Em?" Khlai asked for the fifth times as I nodded my head while massaging my temple.

You're probably wondering where are my cousins, to tell you Tatum, Beau, Trevor and Rhett are at the other states because their grandparent died. While some of my cousins are busy preparing for their college exams or busy practicing for this coming big game so I didn't want to bother them.

"You look pale Em, like really. " Killan said worriedly as shook my head to tell them 'I'm fine'.

"I'm fine, just a little heada---. " I said as my eyesight starts blackening.

"Emery!"
