over the course of the next two days, cecelia only got out of bed a handful of times. jake lay with her for the most part, and josh periodically checked on her.

she tried putting on a brave face, but what happened definitely stuck with her. she couldn't stand to look at herself in the mirror, her long hair a crazy mess- even though jake had brushed it morning and night for her. her eyes stayed empty.

she kept thinking about what could have happened if josh hadn't checked on her after hearing wheelchair crash.

currently, the girl was asleep. it was around four in the afternoon. the twins, sam and danny were in the living room, having a drink while watching a movie. they had invited cecelia to come and watch it with them, but she declined their offer.

the way she pushed herself away from her boyfriend, his brothers and daniel- even her larents- chewed away at jacob's heart. he felt so guilty. they all did.

cecelia tossed and turned in her sleep, whimpering and mumbling. daniel was passing by the room to get to the bathroom when he heard her, and slowly opened the door. he inched forwards, placing his hand on her shoulder. no sooner than he could mutter out her name, the girl shot up with a scream.

"stop—!" she shrieked out, her chest rising and falling at a quick place. her wide eyes scanned the room.

"it's just me.." the taller guy smiled, sitting down beside her. he watched as her lower lip quivered. "is everything okay?" he asked looking deep into her eyes.

cecelia shook her head, tears spilling over the edge, running down her cheeks. "it felt so real.." she cried, her voice almost incoherent.

"i'm sorry.." he pulled the girl into a hug, rubbing at her back. "it'll get better." he rested his head on hers, letting out a sigh. "do you want me to get jake?"

she shook her head.

"josh?"

she nodded.

"okay, i'll go get him." he pressed his lips against the top of her head in a brotherly manner, before helping her get all comfy again. he quietly left the room, and whispered in josh's ear. he sent him to the girl.

he opened the door and peeked his head in. "cecelia?" he stepped fully in, and made his way towards the bed. "is everything okay?"

she shook her head.

"can you tell me?" he sat beside her, smoothing his hand over ger back in a calming manner. cecelia moved to where her head lay in his lap, he played with her hair.
