•Leah's POV

"Mom... Mommy... I miss you, so much. Why did you leave me? Sometimes, I get mad at you for leaving me, but I know you did it because you thought it would be better for me. I'm sorry to say, but you were wrong. It got bad, really bad. He... He touched me mommy. Why did you let him do that? That week when he was gone, you said that he would never hurt me again. You said that you would protect me." I traced the letters on the granite.

"I forgive you, mommy." I felt the tears rushing down my cheeks. They were hot and boiling at my lips. I reached up and wiped them away harshly. I sat there for a good fifteen minutes, talking to my mother. I talked about everything that's happened in the past ten years, that's a lot for fifteen minutes. I was startled to see a large shadow cast over me.

"May I?" I turned around to find Harry gesturing to take a seat. I just nodded and watched him sit next to me. He looked at me, then the gravestone.

"Do you remember her?" He asked after a few minutes. I looked at him again and nodded.

"She seems lovely." His tone was getting increasingly quieter. I bit my lip and looked back at the black and white photo of my mother carved into the stone.

"She was." I pulled my knees to my chest and sighed deeply. My eyes shut and all I could imagine was my mother holding me when I would cry.

"She sang this song whenever I was sad. She wrote it herself just for me. She always planned that if she had another baby, she would make it a brand new song and my song would stay my song. She had to sing it almost everyday. I love that song." I wiped the water from my cheeks. I could feel his eyes searching my face.

"How did it go? The song, I mean." He scooted a little closer and waited for me to answer. I glanced at him and bit my lip.

"You're my little angel

And you save me everyday.

You're my little angel

Please don't ever go away.

I love you, little angel.

With all my tiny heart

I love you, little angel.

We'll never be apart.

Honey, sweetie, angel,

Close your eyes tonight.

Baby, lovely, angel,

Ill see you with morning light."

Harry draped his arm around me.

"That's a beautiful song." He whispered into my hair. I nuzzled my nose into his chest and took a deep breath. He smelled good, like expensive cologne but also the banana he ate earlier. It wafted through the air and engulfed my senses like a poison. I succumb to my fate and wrapped my arms around him tightly.

"I'm ready to go now, Harry." I spoke into his tee. He rubbed his thumb slightly and nodded.

"Alright, lets go." As we were walking towards the boys on the road, I stopped.

"I'll be right there, go ahead to the bus." I told Harry. He just obeyed and of course the rest of the boys followed him. I ran back to the grave and kissed the top lightly.

"I love you mommy." I whispered into the wind. She's out there, somewhere, and I know she loves me too.
