Love At First Sight

Chapter 65

Justin's POV

It had about just over two years since Joseph passed. I was coping with it quite well. I got past it. Delilah was alright about it. Demi on the other hand, wasn't so great. She's not the best at dealing with deaths. It's been over two years and she still imagines that Joseph is still here.

"So Joey, how was your day?" I heard Demi say. She was talking to thin air and I happened to witness the whole thing.

"Demi, what're you doing there?" I asked peering through the doorway, finding there's no person there that Demi could possibly be talking to.

"I'm talking to my little prince, what else does it look like, silly?" Demi replied, as if nothing was wrong with talking to "Joseph."

"But baby, your "little prince" passed away two years ago. I'm glad you still remember him and everything, but really, you're just imagining that he's still there so the coping wouldn't be as difficult." I explained once again. This wasn't the first time Demi was talking to "Joseph." But that seemed to tick Demi off.

"Justin, you think I don't know that? I love him too much, that I can't let him be forgotten, just because of some untimely death....now if you'll excuse me Mr Bieber, I'm going to get back to my great conversation with my son," Demi replied.

I didn't even have the energy to argue with her so I just nodded and left the room, still feeling sympathetic for her. I just went upstairs into our bedroom, shut the door and slid down bringing my knees up to my chest. I shut my eyes and started to talk.

"Joey, since you're up there in heaven, I wonder what's like up there....where no-one can hurt you. I miss you so much. Your mom misses you so much, as do I and your sister. Your mother still doesn't wanna believe you're really gone, but you are unfortunately. There's never a day where I don't think about you or I see something that reminds me of you. I love and miss you so much Joey."

I opened my eyes and stood up, brushing off my clothes. I flopped onto the bed, sighing and shutting my eyes again, it was just me, myself and I.

I don't think Demi's ever going to accept Joseph's death. It's like she's forever in denial. I guess I'll just have to wait. Wait until that very day comes, the day that it finally clicks into Demi's head that our son really is gone and never coming back. Demi has days where it's like she doesn't really want to talk to anyone, she goes into this really depressed state and she just shuts down, and then she has days where she acts like this. Joseph isn't just going to walk in through the front door. He's gone. Dead and gone, putting it bluntly. It's just really traumatic for all of us, but it's affecting Demi the most and it's not very healthy for her. I just hope she gets the message one day and we can be a much happier family.
