Chapter 52
Sebastian followed close behind my father and I in silence and could feel the tension between the two men that crackled in the air. “Why are you so cold towards Sebastian? Mother told me not to interfere and to leave it to the men to handle but this is my life and my personal bodyguard who is here to keep me safe. I am just starting to trust him and that he’ll be able to protect me from whatever you are so worried about. I’ve seen his file and, know he’s very over, qualified for this job so that tells me he’s perfect for me. You should remember that since you are the one who found him and vetted him, whatever this crap is it needs to be dealt with and hashed out. If this continues to be an issue, it’s going to become a safety issue” I whispered and I could tell my father was listening and actually thinking about what I had said. “Your mother was right it’s men’s business, but you are right too and have every right to have a say in what’s going on. I trust him and am glad you are starting to as well, but there is just something nagging me. He has become fawned of you, and I guess I’m just a protective father since he’s almost my age and I get worried. I don’t want you falling for him or him falling for you since I know the type of personality you have. You draw many people into a daze, and I was in panic when you came in bleeding this morning. I wasn’t sure what exactly happened, it was all pretty vague, and I wanted a better answer” he confessed waiting for me to fill in the blanks.
I knew he probably didn’t get a clear answer from Sebastian either but had warned him about getting too friendly or to close other than needed for safety. My father carried me to my bedroom and sat me on the bench since I still needed to use the restroom before actually laying down and having a nap. “You can go back home I got it from here, and I’ll call when I need help if I need help now that I have crutches to get me from point A to B. and apologize to my friends for me. Afterall I am just leaving them to their own devices and being a bad hostess” I yawned trying to hold out a little longer. My father promised that everything would be fine and to just get some rest. “Sebastian and your friends will be downstairs along with Sharene and Haley who seem to have made a good connection with you and your friends” he whispered in my hair and kissed my forehead before leaving me on my own to take care of business.
It did not take me long to do my thing as I was in and out of the bathroom within seconds and so happy to see my bed for the first time in days it felt like. I didn’t bother to climb under the sheets as my body hit the bed and I sank into the mattress and pillow’s that seemed to swallow me and cradle me just right. I was pulled quickly into a dream state that was calm and serene relaxing me in such a way that I’d never been able to do before. It felt a little weird at first, but I couldn’t even fight it if I wanted too. I felt like I was floating, and I just went with it since it was peaceful feeling and didn’t get my back up in a bad way. I was feeling so good and then I heard Ethan’s voice and a figure starting towards me looking so young and handsome looking like my father did when he was younger and even now. “Hey…. don’t worry this is all good things not to worry no arguing just our time now that you’ve relaxed into this state and accepted it without any other pushing” he said softly.
Ethan had gotten me exactly where he had wanted me in a state of awareness that I was completely letting my guard down to him. He had decided now that I was open to him, he would trust me enough to show me what the other side was like. He was now slowly showing me around where he stayed in that space, he was at. It was also like on a whole other level but he did his best to explain the process as I wasn’t actually dead. “It looks as normal as possible and of course it’s basically just like dream state so things can change in your mind and this place to make you feel more comfortable. I just want you to see that whenever you need me or when we need to meet this is where it’ll be. That’s why I need you to be alone and relaxed like this as we continue these steps that are as necessary as breathing for you” he said doing his best to keep things light.
He walked me towards a bright room, and I did my best to relax and slowly sat at the chair that appeared to my left and it was a little trippy. It was just a thought of needing to sit and there it was nice and plush looking soft and comfortable. Ethan sat across from me on a couch that suited him of light tope colors and warm feelings as he relaxed into the cushions. While I did the same in my overstuffed chair, at my feet appeared a stool for my feet and I just went with it again loving the idea of being fully relaxed. I wasn’t sure how long I’d been in that dream state just watching my brother who was how I had pictured he might look. I figured it was how I saw him in my memories and could actually look different. “Not far off from what you are picturing I look like, so don’t worry. I think you are ready for the next step now and is meeting a couple of people who we never got the chance to meet” he said in a calm voice and with that I was calm and collective and open to the idea. “Ok…. Just take it slow one at a time maybe if that’s alright?” I asked blinking quickly at him.
Ethan nodded and called for the first person to come out “Nana come on out and join us” he said and as though on cue a tall slender woman looking like my mother, but more peaceful looking and taller like me. “Mia… meet Great Nana Amelia Rose… this is our mother’s grandmother” Ethan introduced as he took her hand in his and sat her down not wanting her to overwhelm me. I took a good deep breath and took it all in for a moment as I was in a dream state and seeing not just my dead brother now but my great grandmother. “Nice… Nice to meet you ma’am… umm grandmother…” I corrected myself and waited for what might happen next. Amelia sat up at the edge of the couch and slowly reached across turning her hand over giving me her palm side up. I knew what she was waiting for and sat up a little more and put my hand in hers letting her take it and caress it with love. “Mia, darlin’ you are so gorgeous and have the best parts of both parents. I have been watching over you since the day you were born. I even held you before you were born. It was the best thing ever for us to get that chance and of course now we have Ethan here with us” she had said in such a way I almost asked if she had something to do with it. “No, please don’t think that… things happen for a reason, and it was just his time to come back home” Amelia said reminding me that they could hear my most inner thoughts.
