Mykayla

After I got out of the car, I walked around the corner and leaned against the wall. I stay there for a few minutes to compose myself before I keep walking to the apartment. I unlock the door to find all three of them sitting on the floor, deep into playing monopoly. I wonder how they talked Shelly into that. I refuse to play that game. It always causes a fight among families.

“Who’s winning?” I ask as all three of them jump.

“Oh hey Mykayla, honestly I am not sure,” Shelly admits.

I laugh and walk into my room to change. I pull on a pair of pyjama pants and a tank top. I look at myself in the mirror. I have thankfully been able to cover my tattoos. I have my belly button pierced. Thank god I wear a lightly padded bra, or my nipple rings would have been on full display in the car today. OH GOD, THE CAR RIDES!!! My mind was still screaming with everything that had happened. I composed myself again and went to the kitchen to fix the girl's dinner. I asked Shelly if she would like to stay, but she said that she had already made plans. I thanked her again for watching the girls and walked her to the door. After she left, I locked the door for the night and went back to cooking. After dinner, I let the girls stay up a little later so they could finish a movie.

As I lay in bed that night, my mind was still racing. I am still in shock at what happened between Dustin and me today. I am not sure how I am going to face him come Monday, but I’ll figure something out. Maybe I should transfer to a different department. I have decided to think more about this tomorrow. I fall asleep that night thinking of feather-light kisses and hands roaming all over my body.

I woke up a few hours later to a loud banging on my door. I look at the clock, and it's 2:30 am. Who the hell is at my door at this hour? I slowly get up and walk to the door unlocking the lock. I look through the peephole and see my landlord, and he looks frantic. I open the door, and he grabs my arm and drags me out of the apartment.

“John what the hell,” I asked angrily.

“Where are the girls Mykayla?” He asks as the volume of his voice increases.

That’s when I smelled it: SMOKE! I turn around to see that the building is on fire and smoke everywhere. I start to panic and shake. Not again, I think. Not another fire to take away more of my family. I suddenly feel someone shake me, and I look over to see John saying something to me, but I can’t hear anything. Then reality snaps back at me, the girls!!! FUCK WHERE ARE THE GIRLS?

“John, they are still inside. I have to go get them,” I scream and run back towards the apartment.

“No, you stay here. I will go get them,” John orders me.

I just stand there shaking, and I can feel the tears welling up. I feel so helpless as I just stand there. After what seems like forever, John comes back with the girls, and the tears start streaming down my face. I grab them and pull them into my arms. The three of us stand there and watch as the building goes up in flames. I feel Bree sob and shake in my arms. TWICE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US TWICE NOW!! My mind screams. Why is all I can ask? Suddenly I heard a familiar husky voice. I turn my head to look, but it’s hard to see through my tears.
