Ashe
I woke up the next morning, and I felt sad, I am still not sure how I felt about that woman. Now I am scared that Jaxon, mommy and daddy are upset. I can't help it that I run off. I mean I am a kid, and I am having fun, I want to run, but this whole threat thing is scary. I know I need to listen; I decided to wake up daddy first I wanted to snuggle with him. I crawled into bed next to him and pushed my face into his chest. "Ashe baby, are you okay?" he asked, "I am okay daddy" I said as he hugged me tight, I lay there with him a bit longer before we both decided to get up. Mommy went to get Janna, and I headed downstairs with daddy, Jaxon made coffee and some breakfast. I didn't know if I was hungry, I didn't want eggs. "Yucky" I said pushing it away, "Eggs are good for you, they will help you grow big and strong" daddy said, "Hmmph" I said walking away, I didn't want them. I sat on the floor behind the couch and pouted. "She will come around" I heard daddy say but I wasn't going too, I didn't want eggs, and I was upset. I didn't want to do anything I just wanted to pout. Mommy came down with Janna and saw me behind the couch, "she, okay?" she asked daddy and Jaxon. "She didn't want eggs" daddy said, "hmm well that is okay when she is hungry, she will eat" she said, I was not going to eat! I was going to put my foot down on this and I was not going eat. I ran up to my room and cried I am not sure what is going on, why I am so upset but I just wanted to be alone. I heard footsteps in the room, and someone sat beside me. "Little lady, are you okay?" Jaxon asked, "No" I said and he rubbed my back, "I need to look at you okay" he said. "What why?" I asked, "I just want to make sure you are okay" he said. I nodded as he looked at every part of me, but he didn't find anything. "What are you looking for?" I asked, "I am not sure, but I remember something happening to a boy in this town and he was angry for no reason at all. I am just making sure this is not the case with you" he said. I didn't know what he was talking about, but now I was even more scared. I was angry because I didn't want eggs. "I just don't want eggs" I said, "okay what do you want?" he asked, "Waffles" I said with a smile, "done come on let's go" he said.
I loved how he was willing to make them for me even though I threw a big stink over nothing, but I had a feeling he was trying to be nice to me for some reason. He made the waffles, and they were yummy! I noticed mommy was gone and that made me sad, but daddy was still here, he was feeding Janna, "daddy, are you leaving today?" I asked, "I am so you listen to Jaxon okay" he said, "I will love you daddy" I said and I hugged him tight and he kissed the top of my head before leaving. Janna was asleep in her swing and Josh sat on the floor. I sat beside him, but he pulled me in front of him, "Ashe we need to talk about yesterday" he said, "why?" I asked, "because it is very important that you know how dangerous running off is" he said. "I know and I won't" I said. "Ashe it is not that simple, I get you don't mean to, and you are just having fun, but the threat can be literally anyone. It could be a teacher, a kid, or even a friend. You need to stay within arm's reach of me when I have your sister. I do not want anything to happen to you" he said. "Okay" I said, "I mean it Ashe, no more running off. Yesterday could have been worse, that lady is bad news, and I don't need anything bad to happen to you" I said. "Okay, I am sorry" I said as I started to cry, "I am not mad Ashe, but I need you to get it because if you get taken then we might not be able get you back" he said. I didn't want that, I didn't want to be taken, I knew I needed to listen but not running outside was going to be hard. I needed to be sure that it didn't happen though. I was going to listen and stay close to Jaxon. "Can we go outside?" I asked, "sure we can" he said with a smile as he changed me and Janna and we headed outside, the snow was melting so we didn't need all our heavy snow stuff on. I stayed close and Janna was being pushed in the stroller.
We headed to the park and Jaxon stayed close by he had Janna in a carrier thing so she was with him at all times, he caught me on the slides and helped me on the monkey bars. I did notice him scanning the park too, like he was looking for someone, or something. I bet he was looking for the threats, I didn't want them to come and get me. I wanted to feel safe, and I felt safe with Jaxon, and I know Janna was safe too. We played for hours and then headed home, I didn't run away not once, I think I understood how dangerous this was now, and we never ran into a threat. I was so scared that I was going to that I never left his side. We were at home now and things were better, and he even made me macaroni for lunch, that was my favorite. Janna slept a lot like she was always sleeping I hope she is more fun soon; I am not much a fan of being a big sister. I am sure when she is older, I will protect her like Jaxon does with me, teach her not open the door and not run away from adults we know. I feel like I will be her savior like Jaxon is mine, I know we will still have him of course but I wanted Janna to trust me like I did him. Who knows maybe she will be a bad girl though and she will get caught. I don't want that, but she is quiet, and I heard the quiet ones are the bad ones. The rest of the day was pretty chill, we just relaxed and watched a movie, he even made popcorn with m&m's and it was yummy it changed colors I liked it a lot. Daddy came home first and then mommy, we all had dinner, and I played with daddy on the floor. Jaxon was taking a break; I think he was in the shower or something. "Ashe mommy is off school tomorrow want to come shopping with me?" she asked "YES!" I said and daddy looked at her, "Jaxon goes with you" he said, "I know" mommy said and I was happy we were going to go shopping!
