Something Is Wrong

Sam POV

I woke up early today I don't know why? but something felt wrong I am feeling like someone needs me but who? I don't know.

I looked beside me but Sierra wasn't beside me I slept with her in her bed because I wanted to be the first to talk to her when she wakes up I looked around the room but she was no where in sight not even in the bathroom.

The sun is rising but I cant find Sierra anywhere in the house I have looked in every corner of the house but she is no where.

Where could she be? Did she really found the last culprit. I was going to wake up uncle but as I was going to enter uncles room my gaze fell on someone across the hallway Sierra.

I rushed towards her as soon as I spotted her as I was rushing towards her but I came to an abrupt stop as I saw her face it was blank there was not even an ounce of expressions it was blank and her color was pale, her eyes which was once filled with fire is now blank seeing this I know one thing that something is definitely wrong and I can feel that there is a storm coming.

I just hugged her because seeing her face I know she needs someone's embrace and comfort. She must have been startled by my sudden action but she hugged me back as she must have realized its me she hugged and I felt her sobbing and I know for sure because my shirt from chest was getting wet.

Its been ten minutes and we are still in the same spot while she is hugging me tight and crying she must have been tired so I picked her up in bridal style as I picked her up she still kept her face hidden by pressing it to my chest and her arms around my neck. I took her to her room and laid her on her bed she still didn't leave me so I laid beside her.

"Its okay Sierra its okay every thing is going to be fine stop crying baby girl", I kept saying soothing words to her as her tears were breaking my heart I cant see her tears I don't know why she is crying I want to know but I decided to keep quiet and not ask her right now I will ask her but later as I want her to calm down after half an hour her sobbing's stopped and I heard her even breathing it meant she slept and her hold on me loosened I came out of her hold and set the quilt on her giving her a kiss on her forehead I left her room after some taking a small nap with her.

Its almost the time for school Sierra and I was supposed to rejoin our school today but after seeing her in that condition I decided that its best for her if she joins from tomorrow I took a leave from school for Sierra I wanted to be with her all the time when she was in the hospital.

As I entered the kitchen Mom, Dad, Julie, Brian and Uncle sitting there I greeted them all and sat beside my mother. I saw really wide smiles on everyone's faces except for uncles and I think I know what is coming next for me he looks angry I have to give him an explanation.

"We need to talk Samuel", Uncle told me sternly and looks like he is seriously angry at me because I have never heard him take my full name I nodded my head for him to know that we will talk soon.

"Sam where is Sierra you were sleeping in her room you should have woke her up", Mom asked but before I could start I was interrupted.

"She must be on her way she wakes up before everyone", Uncle said.

"No she is sleeping and I think she should keep sleeping after what I saw in the morning", I mumbled the last part but I think it came out loud as everyone on the table has stopped eating and is looking at me with wary expressions.

"What happened in the morning?", Uncle asked me I was not going to say anything but that one glare from uncle and I know if I don't say anything I did be doomed.

"Actually what happened is when I woke up extremely early in the morning she was no where in the house I was coming to wake you up but before I could she came back but something is seriously wrong her face was blank her eyes were empty and when I hugged her she kept on crying for an hour and she slept while crying", I told uncle and I saw as there was now worry in his eyes all of us were.

"Did you ask her what happened? why was she crying?", Mom asked but I shook my head.

"And I think she needs time if she wants she would tell herself about it", I told them what I felt and saw as they nod.

"Let her sleep I think every thing is taking a toll on her and Sam come to my room after breakfast", Uncle said and left the dining table even before I could reply to him. A fake cough took my attention it was coming from Julie and I can see from her mischievous smile that she is going to tease me.

"Sam aren't you being too much sleeping constantly in her room with her you are literally going to be in the wrong foot if you keep sleeping with her when she is unconscious", she said grinning foolishly but what she said seriously makes sense.

"Umm um I was I was not taking advantage of her I just wanted to be with her and there for her and and I swear I didn't do anything perverted to her in her sleep except cuddling", I don't know why I was stuttering but I am literally nervous that she will misunderstand me.

" Cuddling huh?", here came the teasing voice of my annoying friend I know they are doing this deliberately to tease me and they are getting completely successful I blushed and turned my face not wanting to give them another reason to tease me.

"Stop it kids don't tease Sam or  ", hearing mom say this gave me a hope that she is taking my side but that small hope was crushed instantly.

"else he will continue blushing", said mom pinching my cheek.

Through out the breakfast they kept on teasing and mom was taking full part in it and I saw as my father would laugh when they would make jokes on me and Sierra when breakfast was finished I went towards uncles room I knew there was no escape I had to confront him sooner or later I had to confess to him about my feelings for Sierra gathering up all my courage I went to his room when I entered his room I saw him standing near the window with his hands folded in front of his chest.

"Come sit Sam you need to explain", saying this uncle motioned me with his head to sit on his bed and I did while he sat on a chair turning it to face me.

"Spill now what have you been doing with my daughter?", uncle said.

"It was about time for me to men up and confess", I muttered to myself and took a deep breathe for me to start.
