Valentino's [1]

Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in my torso. "Shit." I mumbled.


Mom, stop.

I feel it again and this time it's in my arm.

I'm serious, mom. Stop.

"What's wrong?" Jace swims closer to her.

"N-Nothing." I said looking down at my hip.

I get pulled down into the water and force myself back up.

Mom!

Suddenly It feels like someone stabbed me on my waist. I closed my eyes, almost wanting to cry.

Jace wraps his arms around her, trying to get her to tell him.

I look over at him. "My mom can make things happen to me that I can't control. Like, being pulled, I could feel a gunshot...Or anything, without it even happening-"

Then I get pushed down into the water. I swim back up, breathing heavily.

Jace takes a hold of her, tightening his grip to secure her in his arms. "Just relax. Why does she do that?"

I shrugged, "I'm trying to find that out." I get punched and I start crying.

Mom! What do you want?!

I get pulled away from Jace and pulled underwater.

A tear slips from her eye and she ducks underwater. Worried, Jace slides under as well, watching her.

I get held under too long and slip uncontious.

Jace brings Rayah out of the water and lays her on a towel, covering her with another one. He watches her, knowing that she passed out due to lack of oxygen and not of drowning, and waits for her awakening.

I wake up and Jace is over me. "J-Jace?"

Rayah wakes and Jace flashes a smile, setting a hand on the side of her face.
"I'm here." He tells her.

I look up at him and smile, "Yes you are."

Jace smiles and helps her sit up.
"You okay?"

I nodded, "Yeah." I said coughing out water.
