(I walk in to the room)
Me: Yes she's not here! She's not here!
Carlos: Who's not here?
Me: Your sister.
Carlos: Which one?
Me: Chloe.
Carlos: Oh yeah now I remember.
Me: So I guess you're my muse for now.
Carlos: And what does the muse do exactly?
Me: Just says the next chapter.
Carlos: Oh ok. Here's chapter 13
Rai quickly slammed the door to his house waking his baby sister. He locked the door then slump down in front of it and let out a deep breath, lifting his eyes off the ground he saw his mother with Sophie in her arms down stairs. She the baby down in a playpen that was in the living room and walked over to Raimundo's aid asking him why he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"So why were you screaming home?" his mother asked him putting her hands on her hips.
"It's…It's nothing….Really nothing." He said panting.
"Oh really. Well then answer me this why could I hear you screaming outside?" she paused giving him a some what annoyed look. "You were screaming so loud that you woke up your baby sister, Sophie."
"Sorry but I got scared." He said slightly shy and embarrassed Raimundo.
"Of what? Your one of the least afraid child I've met, you hardly ever get scared." She said as she gently draping her arm around her son then gesturing him to the couch in the living room.
"Raimundo you know that if anything you think may happen to you, or your friends or whatever. Remember your father and I will always be here for you no matter what. Your girlfriend Kimiko and your friends will be here for you. You must remember this; there is only one Raimundo Pedrosa like you in this family, and this world." His mother finished.
His mother's speech started to put tears in his eyes. He had never heard anything so touching from his parents. He scooted a bit more closely to his mother and began to give her a very tight hug, full of love.
"I know mum." He whispered to her. Then he gently eased away from her. "I would never forget all of these people that want to help me. But…" He began to turn away.
"Sometimes I just think that I can fix all of my problems myself. And that I don't need any help."
"But dear, no one in this world can solve every problem that they have, it's not possible. If they can then they would be considered perfect but no one is perfect." His mother began to state to her son.
"But hey I've tried it." He smirked to his mother.
"Raimundo." She said in a voice that parents say when they want to act serious but also want to fun with their kids.
"I know. I know, stop trying to be perfect and act a rebel when I'm not." He said.
His mother laughed and placed her hand in his messy hair; then began to mess it up even more, and then she stopped and slid her hand down his face. Just until above his chin and rested it there.
"Hmmm……Oh look at the time. You should have been asleep almost an hour ago." She said glancing at the clock.
"Can I at least get some food?" He said poking his growling stomach.
"OK, but then it's straight to bed mister. Remember you have to get back to the temple tomorrow." She said giving him a kiss on his forehead.
"Boa noite Rai." His mother said as she picked up Sophie and walked up the stairs.
"Good night to you too mum." He said as he went to the kitchen.
He flipped the light switch to the kitchen. Then started to make him self a sandwich and poured himself a glass of milk to wash it down. He had just begun to sit down and eat when he got interrupted by two visitors.
"Hey Chloe, Carlos." Rai said before taking another bite.
" We heard you scream and talk to mum." Chloe said softly.
"Yeah so." He said putting his plate and glass in the sink.
"Well we heard Kimiko crying saying something about you getting scared after she said something to you." Carlos said sitting down near his brother.
"Oh yeah well it's kinda personal. I might tell you someday…..when your older." He said smirking to his younger brother and sister.
"Awww." The twins moaned.
"Well I think it's time for me to go to bed." Rai yawned. "Don't forget to turn off the light before you leave."
He rushed up to his room. The light was already turned off meaning Kimiko was already asleep. He had to explain every thing to her.
"Kim….Kim…Kimko wake up." He said jerking her.
"Huh? What?" she said rubbing her eyes. " Oh it's you what in the hell do you want?"
"Look I need to explain this whole thing to you." He said begging.
"There's nothing to explain." She said to him in a cold tone of voice.
"No Kim listen to me. I still love you. It's just that-" he was interrupted.
"It's just that what? Is it just that you hate me for some reason that you can't admit and you still say you love me but you don't. Is that, Rai?" She yelled at him.
"No, it would never be that. Look Kim I love you with all my heart and I'll never stop promise. But when you said 'I can give you anything you want' It reminded me of my nightmare."
"You know you never did tell me about that nightmare either." She started to think back to that night and all of those other nights he woke up screaming.
"Are you really sure you want to know?" He paused and looked at her with a worried face. "It's kinda scary and graphic."
"Oh please can you tell me a little bit of it, please?" She begged with big puppy dog eyes that no one could say know too, well except maybe your meanest teacher.
"Very well if that is what you want, then I'll tell you." He started to give in. See the puppy dog eyes never fail.
" It always starts like this. I'm walking in this old abandon town." He began.
Rai sat down in the bed and put his arm around Kimiko. She slowly wrapped the blanket around him and nuzzled her head on his chest.
A/n awww how sweet they got back together. Any who sorry about not updating for like a week, I didn't have a computer, only a lone notebook. But I had a fun trip to Washington D.C. and New York. It was a nice vacation away from my computer.
