Destined

Gone

Kobe's POV

I let the hot water run over my face, trying to wash away the memories that were in my head.

I stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my waist. I walked to the sink and brushed my teeth. I got dressed and exited the bathroom without looking up once.

"Hey, I gave him a bath and washed his hair." Leilani said brushing Xavier's hair.
He sat in the chair patiently.

"Ow" He said softly.

"Sorry." She told him. I shook my head and walked over there.

I reach out my hand and she gave me the brush.

I brushed his hair through and made sure he had no naps. He didn't move once.

"Hm. I thought I was good with hair." She says with a light laugh. I shrug and give her the brush. Xavier hops down and looks up at me.

I smiled faintly and he did also.

He held my hand and we all went downstairs.

"Good morning y'all" Ms. Alana say to us.
I hate when people say that.

"Morning" I say back. I sit by Leilani and she gives me a reassuring smile.

(Later 5pm)

Leilani's POV

We are sitting in my room and I'm laying in my bed facing the tv while Kobe is sitting on the floor right in front of me.

He was on his phone and I was on mine.
He locked his phone then he got a notification and I looked at the lock screen. It was me and him. I remember that day.

"Kobe take the picture!" I say pulling him.
He groaned and sat on the steps.

"Smile" I say pinching his cheeks. He pushed my hands away and frowned.
I laughed and messed with his hair. He smiled and then the kid took the picture.

"Thank you" I say to the girl she smiled and walked away. I looked at my phone and squealed.

"This is the cutest picture ever!"

"It's still the cutest picture ever." I say to Kobe he moved the notification to look at the whole picture.

"Yeah, it is." He muttered. I smiled and hugged him because he finally said something.

"How you feeling? Hungry?" I asked him. He shrugged.

I got off the bed and sat beside him on the floor.

"I still see you're shadows in my room, can't take back the love that I gave you." My loud ringtone sang. That's Luke's ringtone.
I picked up my phone and it was FaceTime.

I answered it and he appeared on the screen.

"Hey." He said simply.
