Hope
It dies at last.
I always hoped I'd see them again. To have my father read me stories before bed or my mother singing while we tend to the garden. I never lost hope.
But it won't happen.
It hurts, knowing I won't see them again. They're gone.
I trusted them, they left me with people who would take care of me. But that same people is the one that keep the truth for so long.
The one that hurt me.
I've stayed in bed since I woke up. My body feels heavy, I don't have the strength to do anything.
I hand gently rubs my shoulder, I opened my eyes to see my love.
He looks at me worried. " Tesoro...." His voice gentle " I prepared a bath..." my love. I tried to sit up by myself but failed, "here" with that he picks me up and carried me to the bathroom.
He sets me down on the edge on the tub. He waits for a moment, I nod, giving him permission to undress me.
Once I was in the tub, he turns away " no" I rushed out, yet my voice barely a whisper " stay" I look up to see him nodding, he quickly takes off his clothes and joins me in the bath.
He sits behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me to his chest. I let myself melt onto his embrace.
After a moment of silence I decided to speak. "Who else knew?" He stiffened immidietly "amore.." his tone held a warning, I know he didn't want me to hurt, but I have to now. "Please...I - I need to know" my voice shaky, tears started to fall.
He hugged me tighter " tutti" (everyone) A sob scape my lips.
How? How can they be so cruel....why, why would they keep it for so long.
I tilt my head back, he places a soft kiss on my forehead, I close my eyes.
Everyone.

After the bath, he helped me into some comfortable clothes and then stayed in bed in each others arms.
I cried for a while, but then the tears stopped coming out.
Truth is, I've cried before for their absence. Countless nights crying myself to sleep, thinking they didn't loved me anymore. Making me feel like I was never enough for them to care. But it's because they were gone.
I asked them so many times, the answers always the same.
We don't know. They must have a reason for no contact. Give them time.
And so on....
Time for what? Come back from the dead?
Arsenio must have felt my inner tumbroil. His hand hold my chin " tell me what you need" his words held so much sincerity, I know this man would burn the world for me, his words. I'm so lucky to have him on my life, and I know he'd do anything from me.
So I asked him " remember that time you said you'd do anything for me?" He narrow his eyes "Si amore" "Did you mean it" he kisses me softly and says "si, I'll do anything for you amore never doubt it" that was just the confirmation I needed.
"I want to leave" this took him by surprise " I want us to go far from here, just the two of us" I said climbing to sit on his lap, he sits up and rests back on the headboard.
" we can live on a little apartment, just us an then, when it's not only us two, then we move to a house" I started to ramble.
" and I Can get a job and then..." he shuts me up with a kiss.
"We will leave, I'm getting us a house but you are not getting a job" a smile appears on my face. Wrapping my arms around his neck I kiss him with so much love.
