Filed To Story: Secret with Betas Daughter: Skylar Story Series
It’s like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, Kaley just doesn’t fit with our group and either she doesn’t get that or doesn’t care.
“We didn’t have any plans tonight and since we do have Sky training in the morning we need to head up and get some sleep, clearly the girls’ mission has taken its toll.”
Kota said somewhere near me.
We started moving and the swaying was so nice and he was so warm, I just snuggled into his chest. I could care less where I sleep at this point, I’m so tired and so comfortable.
“We’re all going up to the third floor. I’m not dealing with Kaley tonight or in the morning.”
I don’t who said it, as I’m in and out of consciousness. The next thing I know is I’m laying on a pillow soft bed, I take a deep breath in and feel my body just drift off.
“SKYLAR!” I shoot up from a dead sleep. I have no idea where I am, but I look around for Jena. “SKY, HELP! Please!” She cries. I try to move but the blankets around me are holding me down. I can hear her panic and I can’t move to get to her, making me panic..
My heart starts to race as I scramble to try and get my legs free.
“SKY! HELP ME!”
“HOLD ON JENA, I’M HERE, I’M COMING!” I fight harder.
“What the hell?” I hear groggily next to me. I turn quickly and see Cam looking around. “Tiny, what’s wrong?”
“Smalls?”
“It’s Jena, I have to get to her, she needs me, get me out of here.
“SKYLAR!?”
This time she’s crying and I shove, I don’t know who, off the bed and take off running. I’m a little disoriented as I run out into the hallway. “Jena, I’m coming, where are you?”
“Here.”
She cries again.
I ran towards her voice. She’s in my room, I run in the door, straight to her on my bed and wrap her up in my arms.
“I’m here, you’re safe. You’re in my pack. You’re in my room. You’re safe, I’m here.”
She just grips my t-shirt tighter and buries her face in my neck and cries as I repeat my words over and over. It’s like this any time we change locations. She just doesn’t transition well. Most of the time if we share a room she can calm the panic pretty quickly because she can find me. But if the dreams are too real or vivid then it takes a little bit to get her to hear me, like now.
“What can we do?” I’m startled. I can smell all the guys here now, but I was so focused on Jena, I didn’t know they followed me in here.
Lil walks over and sits on her other side. “Nothing right now, she just needs a minute, then she should be alright.”
I say to all of them.
Lil and I just rock her until she is calm enough to pull away herself.
“I’m sorry, I should be okay now. You can go back to sleep.”
“That was a bad one though, are you sure?” I ask.
“Yeah, I’m good. I think it was just the unfamiliar scents in here, that’s all. I know I’m safe, go back to bed, it’s okay.”
“Do you want one of us to stay with you?” Lil asks. I have no idea where she was sleeping, but if it wasn’t in here, It must have been Dakota’s room. They would have given my friends their own bed up here and shared the couch in the media room. But I don’t know why the thought of her in Dakota’s bed sends a shard of ice down my spine. He was with me and Cam in Cam’s bed, so it shouldn’t matter.
“No, no. I’m good, go back to sleep, we have to get up early.”
“You two go back to sleep, I’ll stay with her.”
My brother volunteers. When Jena doesn’t argue, I nod my head and get up. I walk to Cam and Kota, who has his hand out.
“Let us know if you need us.”
She nods and lays back down.
We all go back to our beds and I look at the twins, “Don’t ask. Not my story.”
