Elenas Pov
I watch as Pedri and Gavi leave and head down to the basement. I look away and watch something on Netflix for a while. Eventually, I get up and head upstairs, and I get one of Pedri's hoodies, and I put it on a long with some leggings.
I walk downstairs and head out the door, not telling him where I'm going.....
I just started walking, and I arrived at the local park, and I sat down on the bench. I looked around, and there aren't many people since it's pretty late.
I look up at the sky and look at the stars.
"Baby boy......I miss you so much....." I said, and tears strolled down my cheek. "I wish we could have had longer with you......Mummy and Daddy loved you so much. We still do....." I wiped my tears and started walking away from the bench heading towards the lake.

Meanwhile, with Pedri, he heads upstairs to the living room and sees I'm not there. "Elena??" He shouts and goes and checks upstairs. I'm not there either. He checks the whole house and then panics. "Pablo!! She's gone!!" He shouts and runs out the door. Pablo follows him, and they both go looking for me.

I arrive at the lake, and I sit down and put my feet in. "Maybe I could be with you again....." I said, looking up at the sky. "All I have to do is jump in, and everything will be alright......I'd be with my baby boy again...." I said and looked at the water. I sit there for a while, contemplating what to do. I stand up and start to take off my shoes. I keep on the rest of my clothes. I look around to make sure no one is watching, and I jump in. "Elena!!!" I hear screaming as I start to fall under. The person jumps in and picks me up, and pulls me out. I start coughing, and I open my eyes. I looked into those beautiful eyes I fell in love with all those months ago.
"Elena....." He said and stroked my face. "Please don't ever do that again.....I can't lose you too...." He whispers with tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry......I just want all this pain to go away." I
cried. "I know, princess." He cups my cheeks and kisses me softly. "I need you in my life....I promise we will get through this together...." He whispers, and I nod, and he pulls me into a tight hug. I hug him back and cry into his chest. He just strokes my head and keeps kissing it. He's just so glad he got there just on time. He doesn't know what he'd do if he didn't. He wouldn't be able to live if he lost you as well.....
He picks me up and carries me back to the house. He walks in, and Pablo eyes widen as he is just back himself. "What happened??" He asks as he sees us both soaked. Pedri shakes his head and carries me upstairs. Pablo doesn't ask anymore and just rings everyone to tell them I'm back.
Pedri places me down on the sink and takes off my wet clothes. I watch him as he goes and turns on the water in the bath.
"Pepi......I'm so sorry....." I whisper, and he comes over and cups my cheeks. "You're okay.....you're still here, that's all that matters....." He whispers and kisses me softly. "Please, next time you feel that way, just talk to me, okay! We can get through this.....together." He said, and I nodded. I pecked his lips and hugged him tight. He strokes my bare back and kisses my forehead.
Once the water is hot enough, he adds some bubbles to it and then helps me get in. He takes off his own clothes and climbs in behind me. I sit in between his legs and lean back onto his chest. He leaves small little kisses on my shoulder.
"Thank you for saving me...." I whisper, and he looked at me. "You know I always will...." He pecks my lips, and then he starts to wash my hair for me.
He wets it first with a jug of hot water and then starts to shampoo it. I relax as he massages my head. He rinses it out and then puts some conditioner in it and then brushes through my hair. I smile a little as he kisses my shoulder again. "I love you, Elena...." He whispers, and I turn around, and I cup his cheeks. "I love you too, Pepi! So much!" I whisper, and I kiss him softly. He kisses me back and plays with the ends of my hair. I smile and pull away and then look at him. "You're perfect.....and don't you ever think anything different." He said, smiling at me. "Gracias Pepi...." I said, and he pecked my lips and turned me back around so he could rinse my hair.
When he's done, we just sit in the bat, and he lays his head on my shoulder as I lean against him. He left kisses every now and then and just strokes my hair.
I close my eyes and just relax in the moment. "Cmon baby, let's get you dried up and into bed...." He said, and I nodded. He got out first and put a towel around his waist. He helps me out and then wraps a towel around me, too. I peck his lips, and he smiles. He brings me into the room. He gives me one of his shirts to wear, and I put it on. He then comes over and brushes through my hair again and dries it for me. I smile as I watch him just take care of me......I feel guilty now for what I put him through....
He plaits my hair and then helps me into bed. "I'll be back....I'm just gonna go talk to Pablo..." He said, and I nodded. I lay down and pulled the blanket up, and he kissed my head. "Goodnight, mi princesa." He whispers, and I smile "goodnight pepi..." He kissed my lips and left the room. I cuddle into the blanket and fall asleep.
