Better with you

Chapter 6

Julia's POV

I didn't want to call her because I know she has something to do, but this day is just so hard. Today is my mother's 4th year death anniversary, and I can't keep myself from crying because it was me who she saved that day, she saved me from the robbers that got in the house that night, she locked me under the stairs to keep me safe, and told me to call my Dad, but they were too late, my mom was raped and killed in our house before, we decided to move out since I kept having nightmares. 

My dad is always there for me, but he doesn't want to go inside my room because it makes me feel weird, we're close, but I don't let him get inside my room, actually no guy should enter my room, but Jake is just a bull who wrecks my knob all the time, my Dad removed my knob so he doesn't need to break anything which is fine for me because my Dad's room is downstairs and my room is upstairs. 

Just a few minutes after I called Francesca, she was already downstairs as I heard my Dad told her to go to my room.

"Hey, what's wrong?" She asked as she hugs me while I was still lying down on my stomach with a pillow on my face.

"Just stay here with me, please." I said.

"Sure, your Dad went out for a while, he said he's going to check on something in the police station." She said.

I just nodded and grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I heard her ask.

"It's my mother's 4th year anniversary, I just don't want to be alone." I said.

"I'm sorry about your mother." She said.

"Would you lie down here with me?" I asked her.

"Uhm... sure." She said and removed her shoes and hugged me as she lies down with me. I can tell that's she smells so good, this is the first time that she got so close to me, firstly, I don't really like hugging and the same as her, and it just weird because I'm too small for her.

"I can't stop blaming myself, I know it's not good, but I just can't stop." I said as I cried on her shoulder while she rubs my back gently.

She didn't say anything and just kept listening to whatever I say. I've never been treated like this, she's the only one who listens to everything that I say, Jake is just sleeping on me when I tell stories, my Dad is always on call so when we're talking, there's always an emergency, he sometimes doesn't even touch his food, he'll just leave immediately.

"Thank you for coming." I said.

"No problem." She said and sighed as she sunk her head on mine.

Francesca's POV 

I'm hugging her in her bed, trying to make her feel better, but she kept on crying, I felt her breathing gets normal and saw her sleeping on my arm. I was about to remove her head from me and I heard her say. "Please don't go, just until my Dad goes home."

"Sure, I'll just stay here with you." I said. 

A few minutes later, she fell asleep and as I heard her Dad got in the house, I quietly got out of her room and talked to her Dad to say goodbye. I already got home and I was staying in my balcony looking at Julia's house while drinking a glass of whiskey and thinking if I should tell her about who I really am. 

She's just so adorable and sweet, but it's hard for me to tell her that I love her. Just a little more time, I'll tell her about my feelings, but I really have to go to bed now. Maybe tomorrow, she's going to be alright.

"Lucas, would you please get me a bouquet of Twix tomorrow morning, I'll give it to someone." I said over the phone.

"Sure, I'll leave it in your kitchen." He said.
