꧁ Josephine's POV꧂

My salty tears get mixed to the water drops that are rolling down my face while I'm comfortably sit in the bathtub cuddled by the warm water mixed with soap.

I hug myself wrapping my arms around my legs. I place my head on my knees getting lost in my thoughts.

I can't stop thinking about him and about the actual situation.
I was so scared that he could forget me and made a new life but I wasn't ready for this.
He literally forgot about me.

He was so cold when he looked at me for the first time after an year. I had to understand in that moment what was going on.
My mind is still reproducing his careless voice tone.

Now I have to decide, what I'm going to do?
Am I going to take a fight and go back to home with the twins or am I going to stay in my charming home here just for a bit, even to check on him sometimes as much as I can, trying to  not invade his space and not having direct contact with him since he doesn't remember nothing about me.
I'm a stranger to him.
A normal brunette girl with a weird accent.

This is real strange thing.
We know each other from 3 years now and he erase 4 years. Is this a sign?
Is this a sign that our story must not to be anything? Is this an opportunity to us to take this chance and forget about what we had, what we were and what we gone through and start a new life?
Is this the destiny that he was talking about that night on our with couch?

Someone knocks to the door.
"Auntie Jo!" Elle says from the other side of the door.
"Yes baby?" I ask.
"Can I enter?" she asks.
I smile "Of course come in." I say and she opens the door with no problem since she's tall enough.

"Come, close the door." I tell her noticing her cute pjs. She has her favourite princess printed right in the centre of her chest. Frozen.
"I came here to check on you. Mom told me to." she confesses.
I smile in front of her innocence. She really don't know to tell lies.

"Well, you should tell her to not worry." I tell her placing my hands on the border of the bathtub.
"Are you okay?" she asks getting closer while she's holding the teddy bear that I sent her for her birthday.
"Yes." I say trying to keep my voice from shaking but I don't succeed.
"Why are you so sad? Uncle Hero is feeling bad?" she asks with her innocents voice that makes me even cry more.
"No." she whispers while I'm trying to stop my head doesn't gives me a break.
"Don't cry." she says getting closer to the bath and then while my tears with her hands.
"I won't." I say clearing my throat.
I see her sad eyes. Sad for me.
She gets closer and then places her lips on my cheeks.

This tender gesture makes me wanting to literally cry. The twins spoil me of attention but getting some attentions from someone this pure and little, makes me feel so lucky even in this disgrace. It's not a real disgrace, at the end of the day he still breathing, alive and healthy. That's what is important.

"Thank you." I tell her smiling at her sweet brown eyes.
"If you want, I can sleep in your bed tonight so you will not be alone." she propose.
I get fascinated by how grown she is. I can literally have a conversation with her now.
"I would love to." I tell her.

☀︎︎The next morning ☀︎︎

As Elle promised, we wake up hugged to each other. Her head is on my chest, mu left arm is under her body and wrapped around her torso. Her left arm is around my torso.

She gets up before me to go to school, so she kisses me and leaves the room with her backpack already on her back.

"Good morning hun." Selena says leaning down and kissing my hair.
"Good morning Sel." I say with my raspy morning voice.
"How you slept?" she asks standing straight again.
"Like a baby." I say smiling at her attaching my arms and legs.
"That's good. What you are going to do today?" she asks.
"I think I'll go to take my stuff at Douglas's, I'll clean a bit the house and then I'll go to do some groceries." I say trying to organizing my day.
"Alright, so I'll text you later and you can keep the keys." she says referring to her house keys since I'll be the last person to leave the house.
"Okay. Can I borrow some of your clothes?" I ask her since I have no clothes to wear.
"Of course. They will be a little big for you." she says. I open my mouth to shout that down but I remember about my weight loss.
"You know that I love baggy things." I say.
"If you look in the left side there are some clothes that I can't wear anymore." she says placing a loud kiss on my forehead and running out.
