Take me Home

Chapter 6

She found her thoughts drifting away with her and the men picked up on it when her body began to shake as her mind went to the dark places she tried to keep out of.

Jade felt her body tense up as sweat rolled down her forehead as she tried to repress the memories she struggled so hard to forget. She felt when her mind shut down and she let herself be taken over to the darkness knowing there was nothing else she could do.

Marcus watched as Jade fainted and caught her before she fell out of her seat. He looked at his team who was already getting into action, paying the bill and making their way out of the fast-food joint.

None of them knew what happened. One-minute Jade was fine and the next her body shook, as sweat rolled down her face before her eyes went blank and she passed out. Marcus carried Jade out to the car where he sat her in his lap in the back seat as they drove back to their place in silence.

"We will get Jade some food later on." His twin stated, and he nodded his head as his attention was focused on Jade who was resting peacefully in his lap. Marcus reached forward and brushed her brown hair off her face running his fingers along her smooth cheek wondering what was troubling her so much.

Marco watched his brothers softer side come out wishing he could be like that all the time. When they pulled up at their apartments. Marco and Marcus said goodbye to the guys and took Jade up to her apartment where they put her to bed before they made their way to her lounge room where they both collapsed onto the couch.

"Marcus," Marco said and Marcus gave his brother a look before standing up again.

"Don't start brother. I am not in the mood for another lecture. If you want to find me I am at the gym." Marco sighed and watched as his brother walked away leaving him alone to his own thoughts.

It was some hours later when Jade got up confused about why she was in her bedroom. The last thing she remembered was eating at the restaurant and from there everything was blank. Deciding that she would need to talk to the brothers she got out of bed and was surprised when she walked into her kitchen to see Marco at her stove cooking food.

"Um, what are you doing here?" She cleared her throat and Marco turned around with a bright smile before turning his attention back to the food he was preparing. Jade walked to her kitchen counter and sat down while Marco continued to cook the food while humming softly to himself.

"You should eat Jade," Marco said when he finished and placed a plate of food in front of Jade. Jade ate a few mouthfuls and groaned in delight at how amazing the food tasted considering she hadn't eaten in a few days.

"This is superb," Jade said as she stuffed more food in her mouth knowing if she continued at this rate she would give herself a stomach ache.

"You should slow down. The food isn't going anywhere." Jade nodded and slowed down her chewing and started to eat like a normal person.

"So, what happened?" Jade asked when she was almost finished and she saw Marco shift uncomfortably.

"You fainted at the fast-food joint. One minute you were fine and the next you passed out." Jade frowned wondering what caused her to faint. She used to have blackouts frequently during the first few weeks of recovery, but they told her that had passed.

"Do you remember what caused you to faint?" Jade shrugged her shoulders as the harder she tried to think the more her brain hurt trying to think.

"No, I can't." Jade finished up her food and offered Marco coffee who politely declined.

"No, I better head home." Jade walked Marco to the door and for some reason felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders when he left her place. Looking at the time Jade realised she had an appointment with the psychologist in half an hour. Sighing Jade got dressed before wandering out of her apartment to the appointment that she really wasn't in the mood to go to.
