❀Doubts and Worries❀

𝚁𝚊𝚎'𝚜 𝙿𝚘𝚟:

I had no idea how many days it had been since I last saw Enderian or Orchid. I also still had no idea of how Jamie, Athena, Ghosty and I were going to get out of here.

I could tell the others were worried about me; I hadn't said a word at all since I last saw my mothers.

"Rae?" I heard Ghosty say. I could hear the worried tone present in his voice.

"Mhm" was all I simply hummed in reply.

"Are you okay? You seem stuck in thought a lot lately" Ghosty said softly.

All I replied with was another simple "mhm."

"Love, you know you can tell me anything, right?" Ghosty asked.

Again, another "mhm" was all he got in reply.

I then heard Ghosty sigh. I could tell he was watching me, but I didn't have the energy to do anything but stay sat where I was. After all, I'm just someone who thinks they're a scientist but can't even think of ways to escape the end prison.

I felt like I had let everyone down.

It was time for the daily check up at the prison. The last few days, I noticed that my son was constantly stuck in thought. I wanted to somewhat redeem myself as a mother, so I didn't read his mind. However, if he's still stuck in thought, I will read his mind. I need to make sure he's okay.

For Orchid's sake.

The first thing that I noticed when I arrived at the prison was that Rae was still sitting in the same place and same position he had been for the past couple of days.

I quickly read his mind, but it seemed to be the same two thoughts repeating themselves.

They were:
'You are a bad scientist!'
'You have let everyone down because you're a failure!'

These couldn't help but make me think that I was most likely the cause of them.

It broke my heart seeing my son like this and even more so knowing that I was most likely the main cause for it.

It had been a couple minutes, at least I think it has, since Ghosty asked me if I was alright.

It had remained silent since then. However, the silence was broken when I heard doors opening and the sound of footsteps. The footsteps sounded like they were coming towards me, but I paid no attention to them.

All of a sudden, I felt multiple pairs of arms wrap around me. I also felt a kiss on my temple.

I couldn't help but melt into the group hug. However, I mainly melted into the arms of the person who kissed my temple.

All my doubtful thoughts disappeared in an instant. When they did, I decided to acknowledge the people who were hugging me. It was Ghosty, Athena and Jamie.

After a bit, Jamie and Athena unravelled their arms from around me. Ghosty, on the other hand, still had his arms securely wrapped around my torso.

When I looked up at the cell door, I saw that it was open.

In the door frame, I saw Enderian standing there with a small smile on her face. However, I didn't understand why.

When she noticed that I was looking at her, she walked into the cell and knelt down in front of me.

"You really shouldn't doubt yourself son, you're the smartest kid I know" Enderian whispered in a weirdly comforting voice. However, what I didn't understand was how she knew I was doubting myself.

"You know, she's right Rae, you shouldn't doubt yourself, you're amazing," Ghosty then whispered in my ear, "also, why didn't you tell me that you were doubting yourself? I could have helped in some way."

"I know," I mumbled out, resting my head on Ghosty's shoulder, "I just suck at feelings though."

"I know, love, I know" Ghosty whispered, pulling me impossibly closer to him.

Meanwhile, Enderian, Jamie and Athena were just sat looking at us. I could tell that they found the way Ghosty and I were interacting with each other was extremely wholesome.

Although, Ghosty and my mother said that I shouldn't doubt myself, I still was. However, not as much as before.

It was all silent for a couple a moment until Enderian broke the silence.

"I hate to ruin the moment but, son, I need to talk to you alone" she said.

"Why?" I asked.

"You will find out, now come with me" she said before standing up and making her way out of the cell.

"Okay?" I replied with Ghosty unwrapping his arms from around me and letting me stand up.

Once up, I started to follow Enderian. She made sure that the cell door closed and was locked once I had left and then started to lead me out of the prison.
