Chapter 6
-----------------------------------------
Last night I hugged my pillow and
dreamt of you. I wish that someday
I'd dream bout my pillow and I'd be
hugging you.

"Come on Logan put your hat on."
"Mom, can I just stay home with you today?" He says sticking his bottom lip out.
"No sweetie, you have to go to school and learn." I answer walking over to him and zipping his coat up.
"Tomorrow we go to our new school right?" Jeremy asked stuffing his books in his back pack.
"Yes. We are going to go take a look at the new school." I respond, while I button the triplets up to take them out into the fierce cold. I have to take the kids to school today, usually the bus picks them up at 7:45, but we had a very late night last night and managed to sleep through the alarm clock. Carter was still at work, he worked the night shift and would be home any minute. "Okay guys, its 8:05, we have 25 minutes to get Logan and Jeremy to school." I pick up Mason's back pack and put it on his back, throwing my coat over my shoulders and grabbing my purse. I open the door and there stands Carter, looking shocked. "Are you guys just heading out now?" He asks puzzled.
"We slept through the alarm." Jeremy answers, putting his hat on his head.
"Oh, I can drive them if you want." He tries to get me to look him in the eye, but his out of his bloody mind if he thinks that is going to happen.
"No, I am capable of taking my kids to school thanks." I snap, pushing by him and ushering the kids out. "BYE DADDY!" Alexis says, running to him and wrapping her arms around his leg. I bite my bottom lip, I loathe this man and everything he stands for right now. "Let's go Lexie." She runs up and grabs my hand. Jeremy high fives his dad on the way out, Carter laughs and leans down planting a kiss on his forehead. "See yah later pal." Jeremy grins. Logan runs to catch up with Jeremy so they can race, to the corner of the street but not before giving Carter a running hug. Zachary tries to catch up and join the race, but he is so little he ends up falling down Carter picks him up, brushes him off and sends him out into the world. "Bye Dad!" Mason says, patting his fathers leg and reaching for my hand, before Carter can say anything to me, I shut the door and walk away with MY children. I held on tightly to Mason and Lexies hands, and watch closely as the other three ran ahead. Zachary trying desperately to catch up with his two big brothers. I watched closely, noticing that they were getting a little to far for my liking. "HEY GUYS STOP NOW!" I shout, I don't like them running to close to the street. I know we are on a quiet residental street, and that cars never come by, but I worry as does every parent. Logan stops to catch his breath, his hands placed on his bent knees. Zachary notices this, and since he looks up to Logan he mimics this exact position. Jeremy on the other hand runs until he makes it to the end of the street and we have to cross. I pick the pace up a little bit and the three of us meet up to Logan and Zachary. "Mommy, can we get a muffin on the way to school?" Zachary smiles.
"Maybe, I'll see." He shrugs, walking with Logan, Lexie and Mason argue about their school, books or something along those lines. I lean down to stop their arguing we are only a few feet away from Jeremy now, I hear screeching of tires and suddenly a car whips up onto the sidewalk "JEREMY" I screech. It seems like time has stopped as we watch him fly into the air, and his little body his the grass. I scream, I am frozen I don't know what to do, I see the driver fly off I force my self to look at him to get his licence plate as quickly as possible, I see it, AJDF 6Y9...I look over and see Logan at Jeremy's side calling his name, and people coming out of their houses, I make my way over to my son, and hold his hand, I can hear someone saying they are going to call the police. I feel my eyes blur with tears and I don't know what to do. I suddenly realize that my son is their dying and I am not doing anything to help him. I can see people taking Lexie, Mason and Zac away Logan is screaming and refuses to leave his brothers side. I put my head near his mouth and feel for a pulse on his neck, he has one a faint one, but its there, he is taking short quick breaths, I hear the ambulance and I can only pray he will be okay.
