      Sleeping has never been so difficult before especially because I keep thinking about what everyone's telling me about Jaden. I'm getting pretty overwhelmed.

I don't wanna put him through all that therapy at his age if nothing's really wrong with him. I have to be completely sure there's nothing wrong before I take action

And I feel like I'll cause more trouble if I tell Michael. I don't know how he'd react.

While Michael's hanging with friends, I took the moment to have a one-on-one conversation with Jaden.

"Jaden!" I called out, sitting down on the couch, curling my legs to my chest comfortably and tapping my fingers against it.

I heard his footsteps coming my way so I know he's coming and he runs over to me almost running into me roughly and I laughed to myself at how rough he is

I told him to sit across from me on the couch knowing he'd want to sit in my lap but I have to get him serious. He sat down and looked me in the eyes curiously. "Jaden..you know how you said you're hearing voices?" I asked, fidgeting with my fingers a little

He nods his head and softly hums. "Mmh."

"Do you still hear something?" I asked him, hoping he'd say no. Hoping it was just a misunderstanding.

He looked down at his small hands for a second and he reaches his hand to his neck scratching it a little just like Michael used to do. "Um...no." He says looking back up at me shaking his head. I tilted my head a little skeptically

"Are you sure? Don't lie to me Jay." I told him, once again giving him "the mom look"

He nods his head while closing his eyes and then looks at me with a sincere look. If he can look me in the eye, I know he's telling the truth. Same thing with Michael

A few seconds of silence passed by before my lips curved into a small smile and I nodded. "Okay." I said, reaching my hands to touch his head of curly hair and he laughs a little smiling, making me smile again.

"You're so cute!" I squealed bringing him into a tight hug of kisses which he hates and always wipes my kisses away which offends me but whatever.

I told him to go play and he runs back to his room almost tripping

I got off the couch, walking to the kitchen to look for something to eat. I keep telling people he's fine and it must've been nightmares like I suspected.

But this feeling in my gut telling me otherwise. I looked through my pantry for food considering I'm hungry to the core but I had no luck. I decided to go out later and get something to eat. I don't eat fast food that much but every once in a while I will.

But getting sidetracked, I started to think about how weird Michael's been acting. I thought he was completely healed from the Asylum, but now I'm having second thoughts.

Everything is so out of place.

I ignored the feeling in my gut, so I wouldn't stress myself out because I do that a lot and I just walked to the closet, getting my jacket and shoes ready to go out as I call Jaden to come put on his stuff

He ran to me and I suspiciously smiled at him, tilting my head to the side again. "What are you always doing in your room huh?" I questioned him as I zipped up his red jacket, successfully putting on his hat which he hates

"Nothing." He hummed smiling with his tongue out just being silly and I laughed at him shaking my head as we finally leave the apartment

No more uneasy thoughts for now.
