*TAKES PLACE AFTER GOOD GIRL, BAD BLOOD*

I hummed to myself silently on the front patio of my home. It was the fourth of July and so much had happened since last years forth of July.
The fireworks popping somewhat brought back negative memories. Of Stanley.
The noise rang through my head over and over as a memory of Stanley's lifeless body flashed in my head.
A singular teardrop fell down my face.
Why him? He was trying to protect me.. so does that make it my fault?
"im so sorry Stanley."
I whispered, looking up at the stars as if he was there, watching me.
Tears formed in my eyes, and suddenly I was sobbing , listening to fireworks explode into the lonely night sky.
"Pip baby? Pippa you ok?" A familiar voice asked, shutting the front door behind them.
I turned around to see Ravi with a concerned look spread across his face.
I shook my head no, then turned back around to bury my face in my hands.
Ravi hurriedly sat down next to me.
"Hey. Hey. It's gonna be okay, ok? I know it hurts. I know it."
Ravi wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close to him, then reassuringly rubbed his thumb across my hand.
"I'm right here. Things happen."
A much louder firework went off, causing me to jump and move closer to Ravi.
"shhh. it's okay pip." he whispered, placing a kiss on the top of my head.
And just like magic, my body calmed down and I breathed in my boyfriend's scent carefully.
Everything's okay.
