Lyric P.O.V I can feel some one eyes on me but my fear of whom it is made me keep mine closed. I tried to stop the panic attack so that whoever is watching me won’t know I’m awake. I felt something move on my bed making let out a small whimper knowing that only one person would be in here. [i]“Shh it just me don’t fight me I promise you will love it.” [/i] I sat up quickly hopping to make a run for it but big blue eyes stopped me, wait what blue? I looked around the room I am in confusion, and then it comes to me, my mother not believing me so she sent me to my dad’s. I let out a breath that I didn’t even know I was holding. I slowly looked back at the little girl sitting on my bed Indian style with a big smile on her face. “Morning.” I gave her a smile and small wave wondering how I’m going to talk to her seeing that I’m sure she can’t read. “Mommy said to come and get you for breakfast oh and to tell you to get dress cause we going shopping.” She told me pushing her blonde curls out of her eyes. I giggled lightly at her bad grammar but nodded to let her know I understand. She got off my bed only to stand there to study me, her blue eyes held so much innocents, that I just wanted to protect her from all the harshness of the world. She looked so pretty in her light blue summer dress and white sandals, she also had a white headband in her hair but it wasn’t working right, because she had keep pushing her hair out of her eyes. “Gwen did you ge- oh hey sweetie did you have a good night sleep?” Gena asked when she seen me up and kicking, I nodded even though I didn’t. “Oh alright then how about you get dress then come down for some food maybe you would like to go shopping with me and the girls today?” I nodded to let know I wanted to go when she seen that I did want to go a heart stopping smile spread across her face. I watched as they left me room talking about things the needed to get while we were shopping. I hoped out of bed shivering as the cool air hit my skin as I raced to get some clothes and headed to the bathroom for a shower. I took a quick shower, and then got dressed in a blue tee shirt with the words ‘u mad bro?’ on, with a pair of dark skinny jeans. I bushed my teeth and hair before throwing my clothes in the hamper. I walked out of my bathroom to have mini heart attack. Gwen is sitting on my bed in the same place as earlier with a big smile on her face. “I scared you!” she clapped happily as I tried to slow my racing heart. “I nwver scared someone before but Uncle Jim Jim and Uncle Johnny do it to me all the time.” She told me with a little pout making her look extra cute. I smiled at her cuteness; she jumped up and ran over to me with a smile of her own. “Come on we going shopping.” She grabbed my hand and dragged me down stairs where everyone was waiting. “Look who here have a good night sleep lil grape?” I raised my eyebrow at the new nickname uncle jimmy gave me. ‘Why grape? And yeah I did.’ I asked writing on my board. “Because your hair is purple and you’re little.” He told me with a duh tone, everyone laughed while I just rolled my eyes. “Can we go now?” I looked down at Gwen who was whining like any kid would. “Sure but let Lyric get something to eat first.” Gena said sitting a plate of fruits in front of me. I munched in my breakfast while watching the guys joke around and the girls start talking about baby stuff they are going to buy for Michelle. When I finished eating all the girls lead us to two SUV’s. In one was Gina, Gwen, Lacy, and me. In the other is Val, Michelle, and Leanna. As soon as the car was parked the woman set to work we stopped at so many stores that we had to go back to the car to drop bags so we can get more. It a little past two in the afternoon, Val and I volunteered to take Gwen to the toy store while the other women went to Victoria secret. I smiled as I watched her little face light up in happiness when she sees all the toys. “I wish I could have that.” I looked over at Val who is watching all the kids run around giggling. We stay silent for a moment before she broke it with a sigh. “I found out a week ago that I can’t have kids. The one thing that I really want I can’t have.” I nodded to let her know I hear her, she wipes her face. “I’m sorry I shouldn’t be telling you this, but I just had to tell someone I still haven’t told matt yet.” She choked out between sobs; I just wrap my arms around her and let her cry it out. “What wrong auntie Val?” Gwen little voice broke Val out of her depressed state. “Nothing baby did you find anything you wanted?” I laughed as my little sister pointed to her cart that was small enough for her to push and was filled to the rim with Barbies. “That a lot of toys are you sure that all?” Val asked in a playful tone. “Yup this all.” We went to go pay Val broken moment forgotten. “What do you say we go eat?” my sister nodded before dragging me off to the food court to a table in the middle. I sat down next to as she played with one of the Barbies she brought. “What do you girls want to eat?” I jumped lightly as Gena caught me off guard. “Pizza!” Gwen shouted with excitement I nodded in agreement. “Okay than pizza it is the girls will be back in a second.” We watched as Gena went to get the food and for the other girls to come back. “hey girls are we waiting for Gena?” I nodded to let Lacy know that what we’re doing. Before long we had all ate and on our way home with more bags then we feel like counting. The guys were waiting for us when we got there I smirked as their jaws dropped when they seen how much their women spent. “Have fun carrying the bags guys.” Aunt Michelle said while walking in the house with the others fallowing her. I let out a little giggle and started to grab bags to help the guys out. “What are you doing lil grape?” Uncle Johnny asked with a confused face. I grabbed my new I touch that Gena said I had to get, before texting him. ‘I’m helping and you can’t call me little cause you aren’t that much taller shirt shit.’ I smirked as I hit send. The guys looked at me confused until Johnny pulled out his phone. Johnny faced skewed up slightly while the guys laughed. “Whatever I’m still taller then you so ha.” I laughed for the first time in almost five years. “You don’t have to help Lyric we can handle it on our own. Did you have fun with the girls?” Zack asked with a smile on his face, I just nodded before walking in the house.
