BELOVED [h.s.]

Chapter 66. Edited.

Today the view was perfect, the sky was cloudless and the climate wasn't cold or hot but perfect.

It was a perfect beach day, we had never gone to the beach before and it was time to do it.

"Wow, I love the place..." She removed her sandals and stepped the sand. "Thanks for bringing me here," she kissed my cheek and began to walk to the water.

I follow her as she stares at the view, I feel relief she is happy here.

We walk through the most silent place in Los Angeles city, we've been completely hushed for more than half an hour and I don't really care, she's holding my hand and thinking so much.

"Do you think they will work, is this gonna last? I mean, Julie and Danny." She asked.

"Well, I talked a lot with your brother and he really loves her so much and he's happy because he wanted her to be the mother of his children." I explained. "Why, babe?"

"I don't know... I just think, 99 percent of the relationships fuck up when they get married." She says.

I know she is asking me this because of her family; she doesn't want his brother to get divorced.

"And the ones who suffer the most are the children."

I know what she's talking about, Robin came into my life and Gemma's so we did feel what was having a dad, my parents have always had a good relationship so it wasn't so hard for us.

And I don't know what to say, I just can listen to her and understand her completely.

I know she is having a hard time, I just can be for her for the time she needs me and give her all of my support.
...

Linda's POV.

"Are you feeling better?" Kaylee asked me.

"Yup,"

"How was your day?"

"I really could forget about this situation, watching the dolphins, feeling the wind, just thinking about not sinking because you know I hate the sea... and I just forgot everything."

I don't want to be here; maybe if I shouldn't have come it won't make any difference tomorrow. It is extremely awkward the feeling I have inside my heart, I'm not just jealous that Lauren has the family I must have had but I'm sad too, my dad hasn't tried to talk to me. He has searched Danny to help him and talk to him as a father and he treats me like a stranger... like if I wasn't his child when while little I was his favorite person.

I'm sad, I have always been the last person in which my family is interested now just not my mother but my father too.

I love the way Harry tries to make me feel better, Kaylee's support and everything they've done for me.

It's awkward too the way Jacob has avoided me, he hasn't presented me his girlfriend, now is he hating me for nothing too?

"Yeah, better." I lied.

"Let's go to the pool, they are waiting for us."

"Go first, I have something to do," I said.

She nodded and walked away.

I just want to be alone, I know they want to be with me because they notice I'm weird but I just don't want company, and I just don't want to tell anyone about this.

I opened the door and I saw my dad kissing Lauren's forehead and calling her "lullaby baby."

There I broke again, that was my nickname.
