Chasing my Dream

Chapter 51

"I'm here Raven and I'm not going anywhere" I said.

"No your bloody not love. I never want to feel that kind of panic again" I turned to see Axel stood in the doorway his face laced with pain. I reached out my hand as he walked in sat on the opposite side of the bed and sat next to me.

He held my hand in both of his. "How are you feeling?" he asked.

I smiled. "So much better since seeing you all" I said. "Where is Corey?" I asked.

"He is on his way. We are all staying here whilst you recover. Do you want to phone your Dad's now and we'll sort some food?" he said.

"Yes please. Axel?" I asked as I motioned him closer. I leaned and pressed my lips to his. As we parted I whispered "Your mine" I said.

"Damn right love" he replied.

"And me" I heard a muffled voice below. As Raven looked up to me I saw the mirth in his eyes.

"You are all mine. I will fight for everyone of you" I said. He smiled widely. 

"Can I phone my Dad's please and Corey if he hasn't arrived by the time I've finished" I asked. 

"Of course sweetie.  I'll take over from Brandon he's cooking.  Marc is taking a shower and then will be in.  Raven could you please do a perimeter check" Axel asked as he raised off the bed and made his way towards the door. 

"Da" Raven said as he stood kissed me hard and walked out.  I smiled.  I'm just enjoying this for now and we can talk further when I feel better. 

Brandon came rushing in I patted the bed beside me.  He came around sat and gently pulled me to his side kissing my temple.  "Never again.  You are staying close to me forever" he said.  He passed me a mobile and I took it from him.

He released his hold but kept his arm loosely around my shoulders.  I rang my Dad's, I think I spent most of the time crying.   Gerry was doing well and would be released in the next couple of days.  Derek was feeling much better but wanted an overhaul of security on the house before anyone returned.  Jacob was at his friends, he knew I was safe and I said I would speak with him tomorrow. 

It wasn't easy the emotions of speaking to them and my crying was wearing on my energy levels.  I promised to call them tomorrow and they said that the guys have been on constant contact also.  They made me promise to video call them soon.  I didn't want them to see the state of me currently. 

As I finished the call I heard noises and the Corey exploded into the room.  Brandon kissed my head saying he was going to check on the food and Corey filled his space on the bed. 

"Pria I'm so sorry" he said as soon as he sat and burst into tears. 

"Hey it wasn't your fault and you helped find me.  I knew your technical abilities would help me and I chose to phone you as you would keep me calm and listen without panicking.  You were my anchor in the storm" he turned his tear stained face to me.

"I need to say a few things first" he explained.  Looking directly at me he took my hands.  "When we saw Kaylie in the shop asking for forgiveness I was afraid to tell her to take a walk without talking to my brothers.  We always make decisions together.  I was sure we didn't want her back but I wanted us all to commit 100% to you.   What happened with Brandon wasn't fair to you or him.  I didn't want to repeat that.  I was being overly careful and made you feel that we weren't committed to being with you.  We were.  I was just scared and unsure if you would have an issue with Raven and I.   I wanted to have that conversation with you before opening my heart.  When you were taken I was devastated.  Kaylie never quite took my heart.  Sure she was fun but when she left I wasn't upset.  I was confused at first, then I met you.  You accepted us as we were, complimented us and never showed any favourites, even though you had history with Brandon and had spent time with the others you made me feel special.  I want to say I love you but if I'm honest I think I'm on my way to loving you and want you with us.  A family together with you at our centre" my tears were finally happy ones.  He looked like he was pleading with me to understand.

"You are all so special and I want to be with you all.  Once I am better I will be spending more one on one time with you all to strengthen those bonds.  Please don't feel guilty I wanted you all to be sure things were over with Kaylie and I'm so glad they age" I pulled his face towards me and placed a kiss to his warm sweet lips.

He mirrored my movements as the kiss increased and his tongue tickled my lower lip for entrance.  His tongue clashed with mine as the sweep of emotions took away everything else. 

I heard a cough and as we separated I saw a smiling Raven with a tray.  "When little лисаis ready I want to watch more" Raven winked as he approached with the tray. 

Axel came in and passed Raven a tray as Marc passed one to Corey.  Brandon sat on the floor as everyone found a space and we started eating.   I had some soup, melon and a coffee.  I missed Marc's coffee.  I smiled being the happiest I have been for a while.
