Real Life - Sequel To GroupChat

XVII

Echo's POV

"Wow, I- I don't know what to say." Daniel stutters, not quite sure what to do with what I just told him.

The rest of the boys look dazed and confused to say the least.

"Don't say anything then. I know it's probably a lot at once, especially when it's about your friends." I smile a convincingly real smile.

I don't think I've completely healed from loosing the baby and everything else that happened but it definitely felt amazing getting it off my chest.

"I'm so sorry." Jack speaks up, his eyes full of remorse - he kinda looks like a sad puppy.

His voice though, it was enough to break my barricade and I feel a tear slip down my cheek.

"Hey, don't cry." Jonah trys to soothe, giving me a hug.

"No, no, it's okay. I've kept all of it inside for so long and finally being able to let it all out just, I don't know, feels like a breath of freah air." I explain.

"I understand that, but I don't really get why you're crying still." He says is a weary voice; as if he doesn't want to say the wrong things.

"I never really got to mourn the loss of my baby because not many people knew; to everyone else I was the same old Echo. I finally get to mourn and let go of all these emotions I've had to keep inside." I try my best to explain.

"If you ever need someone to talk to, hold your hand, or just sit with you, you know you can always call or text one of us and we'll try and be there." Daniel says in a comforting way with a smile on his face that just says "we are here for you".

"I know, thank you." I smile back; one of the realist smiles I've done in a while.

Jack stands up and gives me a hug. "I'll always be there for you, no matter what." He whispers in my ear so only I could hear.

"I know." I whisper back. We pull away and I feel a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach when he smiles at me.

I shake it off and I head off to my room after saying my goodnights.

Corbyn and Zach told me they'll talk to me tomorrow, even though they don't have to.

I didn't tell them this so they could feel sorry for me, I told them because I needed to tell someone and I knew they expected me to tell them at some point.

I sigh and lay down on the bed of their guest bedroom; that I foumd out they had the morning after I fell asleep in Zach's room.

I curl under the covers and turn off the lamp on the side table. I shift around until I find a comfortable spot and start falling fast into a deep sleep but before I'm fully asleep I hear a quite voice.

"I wish you knew how much I love you." The person says before kissing the top of my head and before I could stop myself, I was asleep.
