more than words ♡ two

Signature

Selena had decided to go back to her and Charlie's old house. It would be a good place too die, with all the pleasant memories. Also, if she kept up her current habits, she'd die pretty soon. She barely ate, never slept and just stared off into space. 

But first, Selena had to make a hard choice.

She was putting Emily up for adoption.

She couldn't take care of and raise a healthy kid in her current depressed state. And she really just wanted to be alone.

-

Selena parked the car. She stared at the building in front of her. Tears rolled down her face.

Adoption Center.

The words burned in her mind, Selena took a deep breath. She got out of the car and helped to get Emily out of her seat.

"Where are we mommy?" 

Her innocent sweet voice made Selena cry harder. "Just on a little trip." She said, as happily as she could.

"I love trips!" Emily exclaimed. "Can I take my coloring book?"

Selena could only nod. The two of the made their way to the building.

-

Selena stood at the front desk, staring down at the signature line. This is it.

Selena looked down at Emily, who had made herself comfortable on the floor, coloring in a unicorn, singing softly to herself.

A tear hit the forms. Selena started to write an S, then froze.

She could just take Emily home. Take care of her and be a good mother.

Selena set the pen down and reached for Emily's hand. "Mommy?" Emily asked, looking up. Selena bit her lip.

But she couldn't.

Selena stood back up to her full height and finished her signature.
