Chapter Ten
I felt like I was in a dream, I felt as though I would wake up any second and be back in the warehouse with Alyssa and Samantha. She would wake up to her living nightmare, because she wasn't good enough for whatever fantasy she was currently living, or dreaming about right now. After all these years Nikki had reunited with her brother she thought she would never see again, and now she was about to be reunited with another.
I blinked my eyes, and rubbed my tears away enough so that my vision was clear again. Sure enough Sami Callihan was standing behind everyone, his hair a thick black mess just like I remembered it, the only difference is now he was older, and he had a small beard growing. "Sami, is that really you?"
"Only if you tell me that, that's you." Sami replied, a smile spread across his face. I couldn't help but smile, and run into his arms, it had been so long since I had my brothers next to me. The feeling of fear I had thinking I would never see them again was difficult to deal with, however this feeling was completely overwhelming for me. Sami was different, as kids growing up he was short, and chubby, nothing like he is now. Sami hovers over me, and his strong and in shape. I didn't want to let go of him, I didn't want to lose him, or my brother.
"How did you find us?" I asked, still clinging to Sami.
"After Jon left, him and I stuck together, Jon went back for you, just like he promised, and you were gone. We didn't know where you went. We've always been looking for you. Jon recently came to me, and let me know he found you, so here I am." Sami explained, happily hugging his little sister back.
It wasn't long before Nikki pulled away, she wiped her tears away, her thick black make up staining her eyes, and cheeks. She also noted the look on Seth's face, he was biting his lip, and the look in his eyes had grown dark. Seth's staring sent a shiver down Nikki's spine. Nikki felt safe, and content within the arms of both of her brothers. Sami and Jon on each side of her, their warms wrapped around her, as they walked her into the hotel room.
There were three rooms, each had two queen sized beds in them. No one had really known what time it was, until Nikki mentioned it. It was well past midnight, and Nikki felt drained. There was so much pent up emotion, which Nikki had let out on Sami's shoulder. Nikki hadn't realized how exhausted she truly was until she laid down in the bed. Sami, Jon and Nikki were sharing a room, and Roman, and Seth were sharing another room. As for Alyssa and Sam, they also had their own room, paid for by Jon. Alyssa and Sam had spent hours just relaxing, and eating junk food. Infact Nikki had almost forgotten her best friends were still with her.
Nikki had laid down, her body giving into her exhaustion, her eyes drifted shut when she felt the bed to her left sink down. She opened her eyes to see Jon sitting there staring at her. "Whats wrong?" She asked. Jon shook his head, and he laid down beside her. She tucked herself against her brother, and hugged him. "I never thought I'd see you again, or Sami. Honestly I thought you were dead." Nikki admitted.
"I thought the same thing about you." Jon admitted.
Their moment was ruined by Sami doing a belly flop onto the bed on the right side of Nikki. She felt tears prick her eyes, her memory returning to her childhood. How many times did she spend trying to fall asleep, when Jon and Sami would come in and protect her from her demons. They would lay just like this, and hold her hand until she fell asleep. "Don't cry." Jon said.
"Remember when we were kids, and you guys would come into my room when I was scared?" Nikki asked.
"We would hold your hand, even after you fell asleep." Jon said, reminiscing with his sister.
"Sometimes if we would move, or try to go back to our bed, you would wake up, and accuse us of leaving you." Sami said with a laugh.
"You were so small, and so fragile. I was so stupid to think I could, or would protect you. I'm just sorry I left you." Jon said.
"Don't be sorry, you did what you thought was best, and that's all that really matters, you're here, your both here, and I love you guys!" Nikki said.
"Were here now, and we are not going to leave you again." Sami said.
"We love you too." Sami, and Jon said at the same time.
Can I just say... AWWWWWWWWWEEEEE! I seriously could NOT WAIT to write this chapter! Finally it seems as though Nikki, as well as Jon and Sami have come together again, and have started to rebuild their relationships with each other. What do you guys think?
And I also have half of the next chapter written, and let me just warn you, some crazy shit is going to go down! :O
