Part 10: Just Breathe

Gradient POV
  Mama stayed with me while Pj and Dad went to school. They'll be back soon. Despite the circumstances I was actually pretty calm.
  Mama drew with me and read that book Coco gave to me.
  Pj brought me my homework. And Coco came to visit!
  He hugged me.
  "I'm glad you're ok." He said.
  "T-thanks." I stuttered, my cheeks heating up.
  Mama smiled, Pj rolled his eyes.
  During the night mama also stayed with me. Even though the doctor told her to leave. She bit him when he tried to get security.
  I laughed at that. Dad apologized and mama got to stay.
  I woke up in the middle of the night due to nightmares. I was sobbing. That woke mama. She hugged me.
  "Shh Shh. It's ok baby." She said. "It's ok. Mama's here. Just breathe. Brea—th." 
Her voice calmed me. Mama knew how to do that. Especially when I'm panicking.
  I was able to go home a few days later. I was sadly able to go to school to.
  I know I should be grateful but I hate school. There's so many people there and they're kk loud... I never tell anyone, especially Pj he'd kill them but they make fun of me.
  I never even told Coco. Or mama or dad. I can only imagine the hell that'd break loose if mama found out anyone tried to hurt me.
  And that's why I should tell her but I feel like it's only make everything worse.
  I realized my mind was wandering. I looked at Pj in the seat next to me. He looked bored. The teacher said we could go five minutes early so I don't have trouble getting to my next class. Pj helped me.
  "I can carry my backpack." I told him as we walked through the halls.
  "I dont want to risk you getting more hurt." He said.
  I smiled.
  "You care about me." I teased.
  He chuckled.
  "Duh. Your my brother. And best friend." He said.

Ink POV
  "Honey, he's fine." Error said calmly. "Here, they just walked in you can talk to them."
  I felt relieved to hear that. I was worried Gradient would have trouble today.
  "Hi mama." He said.
  "Hi Grey. How's your day been?" I asked.
  "Fine I guess. Pj's been helping me." He said.
  "Hi ma." Pj said.
  I smiled and said hello. I could hear the bell ring through the phone and they said goodbye then hung up.
  I sighed. Maybe I should keep them home for a while.
  My phone buzzed and I thought they forgot to tell me something. Nope. Mystery number.
  I took a deep breath and opened it.
  Pictures of knives and a gun. Chains, rope. I was confused. They texted something else.
  "Times ticking~ :)" it said.
