Only Two Can End Up Happy [ book 2 ]

Olivia~

I need help. I don't know what to do anymore, and I'm hurting everyone around me.

My heart pounds as I go to the place I've found myself a lot recently; my parents graves. Its still hard knowing they're both not here anymore, but I've found comfort in knowing that they're together again.

I sit between the two headstones, and just think for a minute.

"Hey kiddo," A woman's voice says. I vaguely recognize it. "I thought I'd find you here."

I look up at her, tears in my eyes, trying so hard to not break down.

"Steph,"

"Aw honey," She reaches an arm out to me, helping me up, and pulling me into a hug.

"I thought you were in Montana." I confess, taking a long look at my aunt. I haven't seen her since my mother died.

"I still am. I had a feeling you needed some help."

"Oh god you have no idea." I say, tears running down my cheeks. I quickly wipe them away.

She pulls me in tighter; the warm embrace of the hug, is my breaking point.

I cant stop crying no matter how hard I try, and my stomach hurts from how hard I'm crying. She holds me in her arms, for what feels like ten minutes. The familiar yet foreign smell of her perfume reminds me of my mother. I wish so desperately she could be here right now. She'd know what to do.

"Tell you what sweetheart," She wipes a tear away, "Why don't you come to Montana with me for a bit? Help get your mind off of things, and get you back on track?" And it must be a miracle from God himself, because I am 99% sure that I am hearing violins playing sweet music.

"That sounds amazing; it sounds freeing." I confess, as we walk back to her car, and head to my apartment.
