From the day we arrive on the planet and blinking, step into the sunNights have become sleepless. My little girl screams throughout the night, and for the most part, I can calm her down. I give her the forumla. I make sure she's burped and changed and everything a parent does for their child, but without Lexi life has become a challenge. It's hard staring down at my baby knowing that her mom died so she could live leaving me a single father to raise a child in the harsh world. But I give it my all. One hundred and ten percent. All the time because that's what every parent should do. Raise their child right because only ripred knows what would happen if a parent doesn't take care of the innocent being as they go through life.
Thankfully, Apollo, of all people, volunteered to watch little Lexi while I take a nap. It's been such a long day. My body dragging on throughout the day while my mind falls asleep with every single movement I make. It hasn't been much, but she really needs to learn to sleep through the nights. She needs to learn that night time is not for crying and keeping a sleep man awake, but she's my enitre life. She's perfect. I wouldn't change anything at all about her because she's precious.
Resting my head on the arm of the couch I slowly drift off to sleep not thinking about anything that could possibly go wrong.
About two hours later, I wake up to a house that's too quiet. Stretching my arms and legs, I get on my feet and start roaming around. No sign of Apollo or Lexi. Panic runs throughout my veins. My heart races inside my chest going as fast as it possibly can. My eyes scan the area as I look for any sign of them, but there's nothing to be found.
"Apollo!" I shout at the top of my lungs as I search through the house. Opening and closing doors. Slamming the ones that remain in my way. "Apollo Birch!" But it remains silent. An eerie feeling floods through my veins as all the possible ideas sprint through my mind. I just hope Lexi is okay.
Finally it dawns on me where Apollo might've gone. I quickly put my shoes on and dart out of the house heading straight for the training center. It's the only place I've ever seen my brother when he's not home, and I pray that he's there. I don't want to think about what happens if he's not. I don't want to think about him not being there, but it runs across my mind so many times. I just hope he's there. I hope I can find him because it's wrong to run away with your own brother's baby.
