Chapter 331: Damn entitled much
River POV
They feel different in real life. I can feel the tingling and the fire with their touch. Maybe now I'll be able to tell if they are real or not.
I missed their touch. I look around quickly. He's gone. He left me again. I look at Pickle then at Lucky my eyes filling with tears.
"Kitten what's wrong?" I shake my head "River let us help. What happened that just made you sad?"
"Denalii hasn't came back yet. I yelled at him and he won't even look at me and when he does he don't look at me the same way. I don't think he wants me anymore." I just hold him and cry.
Lucky stands, he grabs my leg and pulls me to him. I giggle trying to shake my leg free as he wipes my tears.
"Brother grab Finn's picture and the laptop." Lucky says picking me up. I wrap my legs around him.
"What are we doing brother?" Pickle asks.
"We're getting our family back." Lucky says, then he kisses me softly. He rubs my nose with his as he pulls away. I lean my head down on his shoulder.
We walk downstairs, it's getting harder and harder to stay awake.
Pickle kicks Denalii's door a little too hard trying to push it open.
"Just leave me alone. I know I fucked up!" Denalii screams. Lucky lays me down on Denalii's bed pushing me towards him. His eyes don't leave mine. He tries sliding away from me. Pickle puts Finn's picture on the headboard before he slides in behind me.
I reach for Denalii but moves over more. I start crying. Pickle pulls me in his arms as he pushes us towards Denalii.
"Quit being a bitch." Lucky says smacking Denalii in the back of his head. He quickly climbs in behind him. Lucky wraps his arms around Denalii pushing him closer to me.
"Bro back off." Denalii says trying to push Lucky off him.
"My hand will be on our girl tonight so either pull her closer or I'll move closer to you so I can reach her better." Lucky says leaning over to kiss my head.
Denalii slides his arm under my waist, curly his arm and hand up. He rests his hand against my back as he pulls me to him. I feel Lucky lift his short leg to my thigh as Lucky slides his leg threw the space left below Denalii's knee he hooks his calf around mine pulling my leg closer to him.
Pickle kisses my neck from behind "I love you Kitten."
"I love you too Luca."
Lucky squeezes my leg with his tightly. I lean up to see over Denalii to his face. He mouths "I love you."
"I love you." I mouth back to him. I lay back down by Denalii, I push my forehead to his. His breath hitches.
"Denalii please look at me." I cry as my body starts shaking.
Pickle flicks his head. He shakes his head.
"Why?" I cry "Please I love you Denalii. I know you find me disgusting now but I still need you to know I don't blame you. To me you were worth staying alive for." I pull from him pushing my head into Pickle's chest as his arms tighten around me. I sob as I wrap my arms around Pickle's arms.
"How?" He says clearly crying. I open my eyes, he keeps his wet sad eyes on me "How could you still love me? What happened to you was because of me! You loosing Finn is because of me!" Denalii says so sadly.
Lucky's arms tighten around him. I move my hand slowly to his face.
"I know your the prince but damn entitled much." I say laughing, the boys all laugh with me. He laughs wiping my tears. I press my hand to his face.
"Bear. Nothing shity in my life has happened because of you! Finn would punch you in the mouth for even thinking they would leave you behind. After they had you and Tokash's body somewhere safe, they went back and tried to save more of your unit! They would have taken you with them even if you were dead! You dying that day too wouldn't have changed how this all turned out. The only thing that would have changed is I would have lost you too!" I smack him in his chest.
"It hurts me that you weren't there when I woke up. Even if I didn't remember you right away, I would have loved you. I would have fell in love with you all over again. I dreamed of you almost every night for years. I still dream of you calling to me. I heard you tonight calling me. I love you, you big ass hole!" He slams his mouth to mine. I wrap my arms around his neck. He wraps his arms tightly around me. I feel his fingers skim across my neck and I shiver. I sigh as he pulls that stupid short piece of hair between his fingers.
I pull away needing air, my head is swimming and I'm so sleepy now.
"River I love you too. I'll always be here to call you back." Denalii whispers as my eyes close.
Three weeks later
Pickle POV
I moan as my phone rings. I look at the clock and it's only three in morning.
"It's three! Who's fucking calling so early?" Lucky groans throwing a pillow at me.
I reach to the nightstand trying to grab my phone but Denalii's fat head is in my way. He reaches over and hands me my phone.
"What!" I yell harshly.
"Luca?" A small shaking voice says.
I sit straight up breathing heavily now "River?"
"I'm scared. It's dark and I don't know where I'm at." She says crying.
Lucky and Denalii are sitting up now one at each of my sides.
"Shhhh Kitten it's okay." I say getting out of bed. I grab a tee shirt pulling it over me, grabbing some socks and my boots.
"Call Chailor to watch Annie. Move your assess." I say to the boys. I grab Denalii's leg and bring it over to him. I grab her Annie's notes and pictures.
"Kitten your in a facility. I'm not sure why your light isn't on. We'll be there in ten minutes. Just breathe my love." I say as calm as I can even though I'm a wreck. She's been 'resting' as we've been calling it since that night three weeks ago.
She woke up a few times for less then five minutes. The doctors are now thinking she might have catatonic schizophrenia. Which after research on our part is the one that's been thrown out by them that makes the most sense. They are starting her on some new medication today for it.
"I'm alone Pickle. I'm scared." She says crying.
"I know my love, just take a breath. What are you by?" I ask as I grab the keys. I look at my phone when it beeps.
CHAILOR - Go bubba. I've got Annie.
"River?"
"River can you hear me? Kitten?" I'm panicking now.
