*3 months later*

Mark's POV

These past 3 months have been a crazy whirlwind of emotions. Today is September 19, 2020, marking 3 months since we lost our baby. It's also been 3 months since Jennifer last spoke. It's been super tough on her, but she's slowly getting back into things. Her job has excused her from work until she feels ready to come back, which was really sweet of them to do. She's been doing things around the house, as well as making trips to the grocery store. But other than that, she just stays home and doesn't do anything.

*Later in the evening*

I wanted to do something special for Jennifer, to try and see if there's anything I can do to make her talk again. I miss the old Jennifer. I miss hearing her sweet, humble voice. I miss seeing her being her happy self. So I want to think of something that will, hopefully, make her talk again. She stayed in the room while I sat on the couch watching TV and writing a possible future song. When all of a sudden, a lightbulb lit in my head! Her best friend in the whole entire world, is SB19's Stell. Jennifer has told me stories about when she lived in the Philippines (with her mom) from when she was 3 years old, up until she was 9 years old. She had this neighbor who her mom was really good friends with, and she had a son who Jennifer grew super close to & treated him like a big brother. She's also an only child, so having an older brother figure in her life meant so much. Jennifer would talk to him for hours & hours, almost every single day. I remembered that I follow him on Instagram, and he happens to follow me back, which is a plus! I immediately went to my Instagram & quickly messaged him.

*When referring to Mark & Stell's conversation = (M - Mark; S - Stell)*

M: Hello Stell. My name is Mark, and I am Jennifer's boyfriend & partner. I'm reaching out to you right now because I am in desperate need of your help. If you haven't seen yet, Jennifer & I found out we were expecting our first child, but unfortunately, she had a miscarriage back in June, and she hasn't spoke any word to me or anyone in 3 months. I'm truly worried about her, and I know you guys talk all the time, so I was hoping you would help me out.

S: Hello Mark, thank you very much for reaching out to me. First off, I just want to say that I am so sorry for your guys' loss. I don't have kids myself, but I know it's not easy. Please, let me know what I can do to help out. I love Jennifer very much, she was like a little sister to me. She meant so much.

M: Thank you Stell, very much. Before she stopped talking completely, she would always talk about you, and about how much she misses seeing you. I know this is going to sound like a long shot, but I thought I'd try. Would you be willing to come out here to Washington, D.C. to come see her? I am more than willing to pay for your ticket. I'm not going to lie, I'm willing to do anything, just to have my girl back.

S: Ohh Mark, I feel the same way. I would be willing to do anything to help, just to make Jennifer feel better. I truly appreciate your offer, but I can take care of everything. I can fly out as soon as Monday the 21st.

M: That is truly amazing, thank you very much Stell for helping me out! This truly means a lot to me, and I know Jennifer will be happy by the end of this. Don't worry, I'll take care of your transportation & place to stay for you. Whenever you have your flight details, just email them to me! Thanks again, so much!!

S: Like I said, I'm more than willing to do anything to make my little sister happy. I literally just booked my flight there, I will be arriving in the afternoon on the 22nd. I'll send you my itinerary right now! See you soon!
