How To Steal A Heart [ COMPLETE] ✔️

Chapter. 19

I woke up before anyone else did, and I head back to my room. On my way there Josie stepped out of her room and we awkwardly gave each other a smile.
"I didn't see anything." She says as she goes outside for a run. I get to my room, and take a nice cold shower, thinking that maybe it'll help me forget about the death of my mother but as I got out I still remembered everything.

I just stood in front of the mirror in the room. I couldn't believe that my mom was gone. I felt like crying but tears didn't even bother to come out. So I cleaned my face and went to Noah's room and fed him. I just sat there until he slept and all I wanted to do is be with him forever.

Couple of minutes later I hear footsteps coming into the room. I turned around and it was Josie. "Hey." She said quietly.
"Hey, how was um you're run?" I asked.
"Fine. How are you holding up?" I sat down in a chair next to Noah's crib.
"I don't know what to feel......... I-I-I feel sad, mad, pissed, angry. All of the above I guess."
"Hey it's okay to feel like that and it's not gonna go away quickly, but you have to find your peace with her and her death."
"And how exactly do you find that?" A tear rolls down my face. She comes close to me and sits down next to me on another chair.
"Now that's for you to figure out. It's definitely gonna be tough and difficult, but you'll get there. And you're not alone on this ride. You have all of us here." I hugged her. I knew what I wanted to do for my first step in finding my peace. I got up and thanked her for her words.

"She'd like to be cremated." I said to my aunt. My mother only had a sister, and both of her parents died when they were younger. My aunt Cecilia came down here for mama's funeral. "Do you want to bury her ashes?" My aunt asked. "yeah.....yeah, we'll bury her where Pops and grandma were buried, right next to them."

Everyone was at Charles house and it was a little gathering around before the funeral started. I wanted to be alone for a bit so I went up to my baby's room. A couple of minutes later Charles comes in. "Hey, luv." I turned to see him standing by the door way. "Hey. Um..... can we talk?" I said weakly. "Yeah sure what's up?" We went out to the balcony and I stood there with him looking down at everyone sitting down and chatting with one another.

"Look ummm Charles, what happened last night........ it can't happen again. I was upset and I needed someone and you were there. I might sound like a bitch right now but I would be an even bigger one if I was to just play with your feelings. I know that we have a kid between us but I'd like for us to just be parents and nothing else. That's it. I hope you understand me." I didn't want to hear his reply so I just left.
