Jason sort of froze a little bit and he wasn't so easy going anymore.
"Yeah… It's been brought to my attention. It's not really for me. I did enough of that crap in the army."
I nodded, wondering if Jason had experienced some really bad shit being in the army. As we neared my home, I relaxed a bit more. I was craving solace, in the hopes that I could ease my head of some stress and worry. Although, I wasn't sure I'd ever be free from worry. Especially now that I was pregnant. Naturally, mothers were burdened with constant worry over their children, but I had a real reason to worry. I'd tasted that fear first hand on more than one occasion. The thoughts linked to that fear clouded my mind and I had to blink hard to rid myself of them as I reached for my seat-belt to unbuckle it.
"They're here," Jason said then and I looked around frantically.
"Who are?!" I asked whilst searching behind me.
"The guys watching over you, Eves, calm down."
Closing my eyes briefly I looked at him and nodded whilst trying to relax into my seat. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest.
"Are you okay?"
I nodded and said sorry for my outburst.
"Do you need me to come inside with you?"
I shook my head and gathered myself along with my bag.
"Thank you for dropping me off."
He smiled and nodded.
"Anytime."
I got out and took a deep breath of fresh air then rushed inside. Once I got to the door, I waved at Jason who gave me a small wave back. I already knew he wasn't going to leave until I shut the door so I did that and locked it before placing my bag on the hanger.
"Can you come over?"I sobbed down the phone.
"What's happened? Is it the baby? Are you okay?"
I could hear Lilly's keys clinking together as she picked them up.
"Everything's fine. I just don't wanna be alone."
I know, I didn't want to be at Kit's house, I wanted some solace. That was before I got home and realised just how alone and lost I was. My grandparents weren't here and I wouldn't be able to confide in them anyway, they didn't know anything about Delta or who Kit really was.
"I'm coming, babe." Lilly hung up before I had time to tell her to drive carefully.
Placing the phone down I looked around the kitchen and then headed into the living room. In each room, I felt as if the walls were closing in on me until I realised what was happening.
A familiar blackness was filling my head and I braced myself against the wall and sank to my knees as the buzzing in my ears got louder.

"EVES?!"
"Oh god, Eves, look at me!"
Opening my eyes as if I'd just been woken from a deep sleep I focused my eyes and stared at Lilly who had my face in her hands.
"Eves, are you okay?"
I nodded and looked at my current position and it dawned on me what had happened.
"Oh god. Did I pass out?"
