The Pain
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I couldn't help but smile while I watched Ludo as she slept. My baby was home… I got her home without any extra injuries or hospital visits. But she now has heavy mental scars that will take a long time to heal from… I just wish I could have protected her from it better.
Thinking back on the entire 24 hours made my nose burn. It was so stressful and scary…
Why? Why her?
Hot tears threatened to fall out of my eyes and I decided to let them free… I've been fighting this feeling all day… I'm done fighting it. I just want to get it out of my system because I feel overwhelmed…
And like a failure.
My quiet stream of tears started

I lifted my face from her chest and chuckled a bit… “Fine, what do you want to make?” “Eggs, bacon, and grits,” I smirked at this without really meaning to. “What, no sausage?” She just scrunched her eyebrows and stared at me. “What do you mean?” “Nothing.” I stifled a smile while I stood up and started making my way to the kitchen to find out if there was anything to use to make breakfast as well as if there were any ingredients to cook. The answer was no. Which means we need to go out for breakfast. “Oh… I forgot this is the temporary apartment.”

My body had a terrible aching pain all over. So much so that I woke up in tears. I would have looked for some pills and gone back to bed but when I looked where I last saw Grey he wasn't there… I took a second to look around before standing and found him in the fetal position beside my side of the bed. So of course I got up and consoled him. Standing up from the bed hurt a lot… I couldn't quite remember why my hips hurt so bad. I ignored the pain in my legs and wrapped my arms around him which also stung… I was becoming slightly distracted by all the pain so I absentmindedly reassured him while I tried to wrap my brain around what was going on with my body… When I noticed it wasn't working I focused on him and made sure he felt okay… He started to cry harder but it felt different, it didn't feel like he was crying because he was sad anymore but just in case I stayed close and rubbed his bac

I was barely able to get out of the scene coming to catch my breath in an open alleyway. The cop cars came rushing past, and I could swear that I saw Malikai in the back seat of one of the cruisers when I looked over my shoulder… But that can't be right… Right? Panic set in and I started pacing around. Wait! Why am I so worried? He’s always an asshole to me and he never listens… I straightened my back and composed myself turning to continue walking out the other side of the alleyway trying to act as naturally as I could muster but something in me just couldn't calm down… And not in a good way. He doesn’t matter. He doesn’t matter. Forget it, you’re free. In

My eyes fluttered open and then squinted due to the bright white hospital lights. The nurse awkwardly smiled at me as I turned to stare at her, watching as she switched my iv-drip bag. She then silently left asking me if I wanted the light on. “No thank you, please turn the light off.” She just nodded and politely left… But I wasn’t alone… I could feel it. “...” Gray was staring at me angrily, his jaw twitching while he carefully thought of the words he wanted to say. I knew I was in trouble; he’s never looked at me like that before. “Are you… Are you alright?” I could hear him swallowing his anger while he spoke. “Um… I, I guess.” He rolled his eyes and nodded, taking the moment to break eye contact.

It was late, about eleven at night… and I was thirsty, so I rolled out of bed and noticed Gray wasn’t beside me. I strolled out of the bedroom and tiptoed to the kitchen, got some chocolate milk, and then tiptoed into the living room in an effort to find him and felt the breeze before I noticed where he was. The living room and the kitchen are connected and open. Basically, everything on the second floor is open, with no hallways, no walls, just a few well-placed pillars, three closed-off bedrooms, and a wall of windows normally covered by a curtain that hides the balcony. But now it was pulled to the side and the curtains were billowing in the refreshing nighttime breeze. The breeze made my oversized shirt billow as well, raising goosebumps on my bare legs, my sleep shorts not doing much to protect me from the breezes' brisk bite.He was st

What will I wear?Julian stepped out all dressed up with a black suit, red button up, and gold tie with a gold with red trim lapel. I smiled because that meant that he was matching Gray’s tieWell, that solves color. Now to look for style.“Look at you. You look really official. You both do.”

I went out to get her a phone now that it was safe for her to be left somewhere alone, but not before helping tend to her foot. I returned and helped her set it up and ran to get her sim card that I had saved until now. Her apps would be gone but the phone numbers saved on it would be on there, and that was good enough for her. Ludo's ankle was fine within hours, but I still decided to have her elevated and ice it before getting some sleep and seeing if it was still okay in the morning. I put her in the guest bedroom just so she can sleep without worrying about her ankle getting kicked or reinjured. Of course, this didn’t last long. I expected it wouldn't. Somewhere about midnight, she came knocking on my bedroom door and I welcomed her in with a warm smile. “My ankle feels fine…” “That’s good… but why are you here?” I knew damn well why. “I was just lonely… is it okay if I sleep with you for the rest of the night?” She seemed so innocent and shy about it. “Sure, I don-” “I’m so

The cuffs were uncomfortable, but I had no choice but to sit and endure it seeing how I tried to run away earlier. They droned on about something up in the front but if it was aimed at me, I wasn't paying much attention or listening to them I needed to think of a good way out of this but no matter how I looked at it I didn't see a good or easy way out of this. So, I just gave in. We reached the heavy-duty police station connected to the back of the prison and I was processed and put into an interrogation cell where they questioned me. I gave as little as possible, but I guess I brought something up that they didn't know, and all hell broke loose. “Wait! Did you say you would sell the girls?” “I heard that too.” Fuck.
