Romans POV:
At night I dream about her, us. In my dreams I'm happy, content...loved. Her kisses and soft sighs make my life worth living. Sometimes we're doing nothing but laying on the grass watching the stars talking other times are more...personal, prefect. Those dreams I've come to hate because as much as I crave her in my dreams , during my waking hours I loathe the sight of her. Seeing her makes me irrationally angry. There's something wrong with me -of this I'm certain. I need to find out what's causing this. I've alienated almost everyone, human and Atrains alike. But trying to talk about it brings all the rage to the surface. So I keep to myself, trying desperately not to lash out and my family and what's left of my friends.
I overheard talk on the bus back to the sector today about Emery's immunity system having a relapse, how she missing days and taking frequent trips to the hospital. My sister is seriously concerned, seems Emery had a fainting episode in gym today and cracked her head on the gym floor and Eric had carried her to the nurse. I was actually running to the nurses office to be with her until I remembered what my reaction would be once I saw her. I cringe when I think about the things I've said to her. Remembering the look on her face brings me to my knees. I need to stay away from her.
I need to find out what's happening to me...I need it fixed...I need Emery back in my life.
I overheard Sophia talking with Lucas today Emery's parents officially removed her from Name of High School. Lucas says she's being sent to a treatment facility up north. He didn't know for how long.
She needs me and I can do nothing,
EMERY'S POV
As the car pulled away from Allendale Emery sat in the passenger seat while silent tears flowed down my cheeks. Life as I knew it had ended. My hand crept across my rounded belly, taking comfort in the feeling the life growing inside me, it didn't matter what I had temporally lost, I'd adjust, baby was the only thing that did. I'd do anything to keep her safe. This wasn't how I imaged my pregnancy would be. In those dreams Roman and I were together, marveling at all the changes and experiences. Maybe one day that dream could come true but until Castor and Maia figured out what was going on with him, I was in this alone.
Hours later the driver pulled into a very nondescript home in a seeming middle class neighborhood. The drive had been silent and the ride long. The driver was hired and wasn't inclined to make conversation and nether was I. As I slowly emerged from the car I noticed the front door open and a woman perhaps a little older than my own mom came out with 3 guys that looked to be around my age-maybe a little older. The woman walked to the car and wrapped me in a hug, and spoke in a low voice. "Welcome child, I'm Anna and these are my sons. We've been expecting you." She then stepped away and spoke to the young men behind her
"Jakob, Jaxon and Dylan. Get her bags and put them in her room. Come with me child let's get you settled." As I walked beside her I couldn't help but think things might just be looking up.
