TAYLORS POV:
Today is the dreadful day I wasn't prepared for, June 15. I'm sitting in my room with a dim of light coming from the window, Tyler isn't home, he's at baseball practice. It's just me and mom grieving, sure it happened years ago but I miss the man who raised me.
I miss the man who took care of me and Ty.
I miss the man who made my mom smile.
I miss having my number one supporter.
I miss my dad.
I'm hugging my pillow while scrolling through pictures of me and my dad when we went to the park, went fishing, and went to the movies. That dumb grin on my face that I miss so much.
Suddenly I feel a lump in my throat and a twisted feeling in my chest, tears run down my face into my bed sheets. I turn off my phone and sob into the pillow, my grip on it tightening with each shaking cry.
I've never felt so.. alone.
I desperately need someone right now to distract me.
Tyler is at baseball practice, Logan is with his grandparents, Ashlyn is with Aiden so that leaves..
...
"Hey Ben, are u busy rn?" I texted him, shutting off my phone expecting him to take a while to reply but almost immediately I hear a 'PING!'.
"Hi Tay :)"
"I'm not busy rn , why?"
I feel myself softly smile with his message, somehow it brings my heart to swell with love.
"Could you come over please? I js need to get my mind off of something :)" I reply back only to receive a sweet message back,
"Of course Tay, i'll be there in a few 🤍"
I sit up and wipe my tears away, I go to the bathroom and wash my face. I can hear my mothers sobs in her locked room. My heart aches but there's nothing I can do beside let her grieve for her husbands death. I wonder if Ty is okay.
I hear a knock on the door and I go to open it to see Ben holding two small baskets filled with candies and chocolates, it shows that he did this not too long ago. I smile and tilt my head,
"What's this for?" I say as I take them out his hand so he can sign.
'I saw what today was and assumed that's why you texted me, I know your mom is probably sad too so I thought about getting you two things' I can see him look away embarrassed at his sweet gesture.
"Awh Ben! You didn't have to do this, you're too kind" my smile growing bigger and I kiss him softly, his face turning a light red causing me to let out a small laugh.
'I also got Tyler something, I already handed it to him a bit ago' he signs again, but this time bringing me to tears. I set the basket down and step on my tippy toes to wrap my arms around his neck and cry.
"Ben.. you didn't have to do this" he doesn't sign anything, he just swoops me up into his arms like nothing and takes me to my room shutting the door behind us. He lays down on the bed and lays me on his side, resting my head on his chest.
I've heard his voice here and there and I love it no matter how much he hates it. I look up to meet his gaze and my eyes swell up with tears as I softly cry into his chest. He plays with my hair and hugs me tightly. Before I fell asleep, I heard his voice.
"I love you Tay" he murmurs as he kisses my forehead.
A/N: sorry if this took a while to get out 😣!
