AELLA'S p.o.v

My mind had no say in this. Kissing Theo was an instinct. I crave comfort and reassurance , he , can give me both. Call me selfish ,but I couldn't let those lips of his' anywhere near someone else's. He tasted of sunshine. Sunshine and happiness. Sunshine and happiness and everything that's good in this world. He was the first to pull away, not completely, his forehead on mine. I was on my tiptoes and he was leaning down due to his height.

He held me so tightly and I wasn't complaining. It felt like home.

-''Kiss me'' I murmured against his plump pink lips.

-''Please'' I continued while licking my lips

-''You're just confused.'' he said pulling away

-''Everything is happening so fast. We cant do this. Someone will end up heartbroken and humiliated.''

he continued, still holding me but looking down.

He was right.

-''You're right. But just so you know, I am not at all sorry that I kissed you Theo'' I said then proceeding to enter the hospital room where lay gramps.

I closed the door behind me leaving the green eyed boy outside.

Inhaling against the door I see him.

Tubes went in and out his seemingly limp body. An oxygen mask covered his beautiful aging freckled face. He's my angel and loosing him would mean loosing myself. I got closer to his white bed and hold his cold hand in mine.

He was no longer radiating energy and warmth. Something in me broke at the thought of not seeing him smile anymore. All those dark possibilities crowded my mind followed by my salty tears.

I slept on the ground next to him praying all night, asking mom and dad to keep me company. I lost them but I found myself along the way.

-''Aella!'' mom shouted from downstairs

Today was my 8th birthday and I was wearing my baby blue flowy dress that had cute little daisies on. I had chosen it when I went shopping with my dad last week. He even got me frozen yogurt which I was really happy about.

I went downstairs to see my mom icing the cake. I think I drooled a little at the sight.

-''Yes mommy'' I answered kissing both her cheeks leaving a stain pink lipstick

Mom was an air hostess which means she only came home for barely a couple of hours, and sometimes not at all. Not today though! She took the day off to host my birthday dinner in our home.

-''Go outside baby your friends are starting to fill up the garden '' She said fixing my space buns.

I nodded and headed outside skipping towards the backyard's green grass. I spotted daddy wearing a blue button up. It wasn't fully buttoned showing his tattoos. I want tattoos too but he says i'll have to wait. What a big meanie.

Just kidding I love him.

He lifted me up and hugged me tightly. I was so happy that a giggle escaped my mouth.

I ate so much food that night, you name it,its probably getting digested in my system at the moment. My friends and I danced to the loud music and played many games together.
