p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-family: Calibri;"The African American women went inside with the baby after a short while. El decided to sleep and hope this was a bad dream. Didn't we all. I felt as if I was out of my body like I was watching this from someone else/spanspan style="font-family: Calibri;"'s/spanspan style="font-family: Calibri;" mind and soul like non of this was real. My tummy grumbled, the hunger was real. I picked up a roasted chicken and bit into it. The meat was salty and nicely spiced I could taste it. It tasted good. It tasted real. I then was offered only one glass of… what ever it was. It was sweet and sour and tasted oddly like wine. I swished it around my tongue I could almost taste the sir the grapes grew from. Smell the lake and hear the birds squawking above attracted to the ripe smells of the fruit. I shook my head. That felt like a weed trip. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-family: Calibri;"I looked around me. We all looked like robots taking in everything slowly. We smiled when need be and when the sun started to set that's when we wanted to go in. The twins teased us about being afraid of the dark. The boys rose to the bait and stayed longer. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-family: Calibri;"Me well I was taking El/spanspan style="font-family: Calibri;"'s plan sleep and hope this was all a dream. I remember kissing bear man on the cheek and saying goodnight my body stiff the wine was stronger than most and my muscles were pulling slightly. Emma wasn't to far from me I looked up the stairs and paused "Fuck" I whispered I don't remember where my room was. Emma walked ahead of me. "Come on we sleeping together anyway" she also seemed exhausted slightly pale./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-family: Calibri;" Yes sleeping together seems like a good idea right now. I followed her up the stairs my muscles coiling tighter and tighter. My mind working over time. What if this isn't a dream what if we are stuck here what are we going to do? My face felt wet. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-family: Calibri;"Tears were streaming down my face the situation finally dawning on me. I began to pray inside my head tears streaming down my face at a faster pace. Emma seemed dazed herself the celebration outside drowning the pitiful sounds of my sniffling. /spanemspan style="font-family: Calibri;" /span/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"emspan style="font-family: Calibri;"Please god please I will donate whatever money I make il adopt a kid anything please let this all be a dream I'm begging you. /span/emspan style="font-family: Calibri;" Soon a soft sound reached my ears I never heard anything like it in my whole life it was like a hug one of those hugs you desperately needed that cover you in safety and understanding. It was the feeling of silk on your skin smooth constant I never heard anything like it in my life./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-family: Calibri;" I saw Emma also following the voice as if we were moths to flame. Soon we turned the corridor and heard the words they were in a different language but it did not matter. It didn't diminish the beauty of her voice in any way in fact it seemed to enhance it./span/p

I felt a soft hand wipe what was left of my tears. Emma was beside me the other hand also wiping her tears. So she also was crying was it the music or the situation. The women our step mother ( I mean come on obviously shes not our real mother) Aaliyah. Was smiling softly at us then pulled us into an embrace. I never felt so warm so safe , so weak. I broke down again I was scared who was I kidding if I had a bowel problems id be shitting my self silly. My mind knew this was real as real as my previous life and it scared me. My heart wanted to hold on to hope but it was futile. Hopelessness. I never knew the feeling properly till now. It was consuming my whole body and I knew I wasn't holding back. It wasn't just me Emma was convulsing herself also giving into the same void of hopelessness I was in. We were squeezing tighter on each other and Aaliyah. She didn't say anything except hold us tighter pat our hair comfortingly and began rocking back and forth with a whispered love yous and hushes. When it seemed it wasn't helping she began humming and singing again her voice offering security hope I closed my eyes even though I didn't understand a word the song sounded soothing./span/p
