Although I don't need to sleep I feel a great comfort knowing it's Desmond's bed so I can't help myself.

06:00

I sit up and look at the sun outside the window. Turning to the bed I press my hand against where he'd be laying.

My heart is in two. I'm not whole without him.

Turning slowly I get out of our bed and walk to his wardrobe where I'd usually get his clothes out for the day.

I'd then turn around and he'd be fast asleep again.

I chuckle to myself.

"That silly man." A distant smile fades as I can't hear his heavy breathing.

Such a gentle sleeper he never snores or even thrashes around just dead silence, I've had to check if he's still with me sometimes.

The wind blows through the curtains. A odd chill runs up my body as I shake out of my daze I tidy the bed up.

When My George and Etty lived here I'd usually wake them up.. or Etty would wake them up.

The room spotless, you can only clean a room so many times before it's overkill.

Exiting the room i look down the hallway and back the other way, a haunting silence through a usually booming house.

Mornings... Etty would stomp past me and I'd have to get George out of his room. Desmond would already be downstairs.

My eyes twinkle as I look back on them memories.

I haven't been into their rooms for a while now I think of it...

Walking I get to George's room his being opposite to ours, opening his door to the dark room.

I never open the windows or blinds, it's how he liked it. Maybe I hope my baby will come back one day..

Snooping around at all his books I run my finger along the only photo he has. I pick it up and body is lifted with a sense of happiness.

Summer 24'

George was nine, it's all of us. Bella Violet, Athena, Avery and Theodore..

Theodore, a man that Desmond looks up to. I don't understand why he's a maniac and only lives for the moment! But I respect him non the less for Desmond's admiration.

Placing the photo down I turn back and check the room out as I leave, closing the door I look at Etty's room.

Making my way and entering My eyes are flashed with bright colours of China teapots and wallpaper, her room being very girly it was a delight to be in.

It would always smell of scented candles usually a pomegranate type smell.

My face creeks a smile as I look to her cups and pots.

An avid collector of antiques, a girl so spiratic like Etty you'd never expect her to have such a gentle pleasure.

Only a few years ago Desmond and her had became more like Father and Daughter, she takes a lot from Desmond more than she'd like to imagine.
