CHAPTER 38 - OOPS


    To crazy people.


    I go bad to Christian''s bedroom and see him exactly the way I left him, over the bed. He cries have


    subsided giving way to sniffles.


    Seeing Ana has had a calming effect on me too.


    I touch Jay''s shoulders and he flinches.


    I pull his boxers out of his legs and he starts groaning and sobbing again.


    "Will you just listen to me once, please?" He sobs.


    I pick him up in my arms, and get under the covers with him, snuggling.


    "Talk."


    "That was not drugs." He is holding my tee like his life depends on it. I know he is notfortable at all


    because of his bottom.


    "If you''re lying to get out of trouble, I can assure you, all its going to do isnd you in more." I tell him


    sternly.


    "I couldn''t sleep, haven''t slept, at all, after you.... So, I called Mr. G and asked for something.... that


    would help me sleep. You can.... ask him. " He sniffles.

    "Why not pills then? Why shots?" I ask him, incredulously. I rub his back.


    "Ana.... She''s going into a littler headspace. I was scared that she might pop some.... When I am not


    around or distracted. It''s been difficult to keep track of... Everything she does all day long.... When I


    don''t have help. Or money." He adds.


    I hug him tighter. Thank you to the mercies of the Universe. Chris was not on drugs! I heave a sigh of


    relief.


    "Why not tell me straightaway? Why give me the lip?" I ask him.


    "I tried, you moron!"


    smack!


    He calms back down.


    "Not when I first asked you. You said it was none of my business."


    I hug him. He hugs me back, holding onto me like his life depended on it or something. I love him so


    much. I feelplete, finally.


    "You know, even though you weren''t on drugs thankfully, I don''t regret the episode." I mummer inside


    his hair.


    "Neither do I. Only my butt does." he whispers andughs feebly.


    "Sleep, darling. I got you. Now and forever." I kiss him.


    "No gel? No cream?" He asks making a face, once I pull back.


    "Nope. Let that be a reminder to never ever even think about doing drugs."


    "But I never thought about doing drugs in the first ce!"


    "Shh, go to sleep. You need rest. You have been looking so exhausted and ill." I kiss him again and five


    secondster he falls asleep.


    I go back to my ce to bring Carol. I put her on the bed beside Ana. Thankfully she stays asleep.


    I go the bathroom and pick up the aloe gel for Grey''s bottom. I massage the gel on his butt, he is so


    deep in sleep that he doesn''t even flinch or wince or anything.


    Later, I strip to my boxers and slip in beside Christian. My world is whole again.
