Regular POV (about Anne).
Sometimes it didn't feel right. Sometimes she felt guilty. All she could think about was her first baby Elissa, high up in the sky, all alone, when her second baby Six-Olivia was happily down on earth.
Because even though Phillip said all these philosophical things about Elissa and Six and about death and rebirth, Elissa was a fricking baby. That meant she would have been jealous of Six-Olivia, her sister, and this made Anne ever so sad.
When she woke up from her bad dream, she had the strange urge to kill Six-Olivia, and then both babies would be alone and neither would be jealous. This only lasted a second- then she would burst into tears about even thinking to kill her baby. After this moment of emotional confusion, Anne stepped out of bed and walked downstairs. She stopped on the last step and sat down on it.
There was a little bit of light streaming in from an open window. Anne looked at it and started to cry again. Why wouldn't this feeling of guilt wash over? It would just stay there and eat Anne inside out.

Regular POV (about Phillip).
When Anne woke up, and started crying, I didn't ask her if she was okay straight away to see what she would do. I knew she was thinking about Elissa- I would think about her to, but it was time to move on now, to think about Six-Olivia, to think about more children. She would always haunt me, but I was starting to accept that she would be gone forever.
I tiptoed down the stairs after Anne and watched her sit down on the last step and cry. Her expression broke my heart. I ran down the stairs and sat down next to her.
"Baby, it's ok. I'm here for you." I said, Anne smiled at me and rested her head on my shoulder.
"I'm going to be ok, soon, anyway. Right now I just feel so awful." She said. I said no more, because everyone feels awful once in a while.
"Everything is going to be ok." She says, to herself and to me.

And it was going to be okay, Anne thought, because God loved so many people but he couldn't look after every single one. So he sent them each a guardian to protect each other. And her's was Phillip.

Hi guys! This is a short chapter about Anne and her feelings on Elissa. This kind of reflected to me (when Phillip was talking), I needed a Phillip counsellor chapter to make myself feel better haha😂😂
thank you so much to everybody which wrote something nice. Your kind words have helped me feel so much better, some of them even brought me to tears (happy ones).  😘💔 I made it short cause I don't have it in me to write one long enough but I'm sure you understand. Love you guys so much 😘💔❤️xx
