Before the Unexpected √ (Completed)

Chapter 11

Yesterday we didn't return to the dorm we stayed at the orphanage, since Lillian insisted we stay for the night. So here I was in the backyard of the orphanage with cozy closes on and listening to my playlist of Shawn Mendes since I love him and his songs, "memories" came on and suddenly a memorie of me and my parents came rushing to my mind.

^Play memories^

I was in bed still sleeping when I found someone has sneaking their arms to my stomach and then they started tickling me, I woke up laughing so hard I couldn't breath, it was dad, mom came up to us with a fake glare.
"God you're being too loud" we all looked at each other and burst out laughing, she came toward us and started tickling me 'till I had tears in my eyes from all the laughing.

After this beautiful memory, I felt tears on my cheeks, I wish they could still be with me, they were the best and I loved them so much, everyday I saw parents giving their kids rides to school, kids talking how much their parents annoyed them, but what really made me sad and depressed was the fact that I couldn't celebrate Christmas or new year with them like we used to, and when I graduated I saw parents taking pictures of their kids before they go to prom, while I had no one. I would give anything to have them back and be with me.

I was now full on crying, I wrapped my arms around my legs, and cried my eyes out, but then I heard footsteps behind me.

"Mel, I made hot chocolate for us, they're very del- Why are you crying?  What happened? Did you get hurt? " Corbyn was in seconds beside me concern clear in his eyes as he searched for any damage.
I looked at him, then wrapped my arms around him, he sat me on his lap and I wrapped my legs around his torso and then placed my head in between his neck and shoulder as I cried.

"Shhh, everything will be alright, shhh, it'll be alright I promise you, princess"

"Corbyn I miss them so much, I'd give everything and I'd do anything to have them back, why did they have to die, why? Everyday I saw parents laughing with their kids, yelling at them, grounding them, but at least they have their parents with them, why can't I have them with me? "

"Princess, I wish I could bring them back for you, but I can't they're in a better place right now, and I know for sure they wouldn't like seeing their little girl crying for them, what I know is that they would want their little girl happy and ready to see a better future, am I right? Or no? " he said as he grabbed my face in his hands and looked deeply in my eyes.

"You're right، you're right, but you know it's just hard to experience these things at such a young age" I said to him as I placed my head back on his shoulder looking at the sky behind him, at this point I didn't care how broken he saw me "and you know maybe soon i'll tell you my awful past I just need time"

"Feel free to tell me anything, even if it was at 3 a.m, I would listen to you, princess" he said as he placed a peace of my hair behind my ear.

"How about we drink that hot coco you made? " I said to lighten up the mood.

"Yeah... I don't think it's hot anymore" he said scretching the back of his head and I laughed, I saw a smile forming on his face.

"Come on, we'll put them in the microwave" I said and got off him, as we walked I stopped and hugged him "thank you Cor, for everything you've done for me so far" I love how I could hear his heartbeat since I was shorter.

"I'm always right here for you princess" he said hugging me back.

"Okay let's go inside them and taste your famous hot chocolate" I smiled as we walked inside, and of course I took my phone with me, I wouldn't leave Shawn singing alone all night right?
