MEANT TO BE 3 (Forever's Not Enough - GirlxGirl)

THE POWER OF LOVE

MUSIC: I Will Be Here

It was still dawn and Sunny's already up from bed. She's just standing in the center of her room, looking around, not knowing what to do. She felt tears on her cheeks while thinking of only one person.

"Angel... " she breathed deeply. Her heart ached.

She didn't have much sleep last night. She was endlessly trying to recollect how it all started-- the first time she met Angel in school when they were just so young and innocent. She thought of the beautiful friendship they have shared over the years, until to the time Angel needed to move to New York. She remembered crying so hard that day when Angel left and so, her Mumsy took her to the park and together they ate Milkshake and fries. It made her feel better.

Sunny forced a smile, but only to shed more tears after... No amount of Milkshake and fries could make her feel better knowing Angel is lying there in the hospital, fighting for her life. Sunny closed her eyes... "PLEASE STAY WITH ME... DON'T LEAVE ME, PLEASE..." she cried even more.

Aom's wide awake and was staring at the ceiling... Just like Sunny, she didn't have much sleep last night. She was thinking of Angel, still feeling guilty. God knows how sorry she is right now. If she could only turn back the time, she would never allow herself hurting the people around her because of her selfishness.

" But it's too late... It's too late and I'm sorry... God, I'm so sorry..." Aom wiped the tears from her eyes.

Tina must have heard her sobbing. She turned to face Aom... " Mommy? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" She lightly touched her face and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Aom burst out in tears.

"I'm scared and i'll never forgive myself if..." Tina hugged Aom so tight. She had to cut her short.

"Shhh... Don't say that. It's nobody's fault. It was an accident and no one is to blame. Don't be so hard on yourself, Aom..." Tina kissed her wife on the forehead. " I love you so much..." there was a crack in her voice. " You know I'm just here and you don't have to go through this alone. Remember our vows? For better or for worse? We're in this together and we'll survive this, Aom. I'll be here for you, and for Sunny..."

Aom hugged Tina back. " I love you, Tina... and I'm sorry for all the pains I've caused you. I never meant to hurt both you and Sunny. God, I can't even remember how many times I apologized to you, but it seems I wasn't learning my lessons well, I kept on hurting you both. I'm so sorry..." she can't stop crying. Tina let out a little smile. Even they're in the worst of a situation, somehow those sincere words made her feel things would still turn out good in the end. She felt so light hearing that from Aom. She held her wife's face... " I love you more, and we'll be okay..." she kissed Aom on the lips then she hugged her again.

Aom must have felt relieved after that talk, few minutes and she finally was able to fall asleep. It made Tina feel relieved as well because Aom really needed to rest. What happened last night was physically and emotionally exhausting for her having to witness what happened with Angel. It was traumatic.

" Sunny? Why are you up so early? You should get some sleep if you want to stay with Angel at the hospital. It'll be a long day for sure..." Tina gently touched her daughter's shoulder. Sunny didn't even turn her back to look at her. She was just staring outside through the window.

" I'm waiting for sunrise, Mumsy ... I don't wanna miss it, so I'm staying just right here..." there was a crack in Sunny's voice.

Tina looked puzzled. "Why?" She asked.
