The Blind Girl With Dreams

Chapter 27

Moonlight POV

As the girls came down the stairs, very loud in fact, until hey turned into the kitchen where I turned around with my hands crossed over my head.

"Uhh, Good morning" Ava replied looking at my clothes

"Morning. How about we change because I need to leave" I asked before walking a few steps before she took my hand dragging me back up the stairs

"Sooo. While we were both sleeping, you and Ashton?.." Emma began

"No. God no. He did help me into the shower tho and put on the top."

"What?" Ava asked

"I woke him up by accident, he got me a pair of spare underwear and his shirt, he turned around while I was changing, so I covered myself, I gave him a choice; help me or turn back around. After he helped me downstairs were he brushed my hair," I paused, "Someone, please speak."

"I..I. I don't know what to say..." Ava began

"Think about it when we're in the car. I need to go" I said pulling my jumpsuit on

"Where are you going?" Emma asked

"Em, what day it is?" I asked knowing as soon as she said the date she knew

She pulled out her phone to check the date "It's the... 22nd of Octobe...." she trailed off not wanting to say anything else.

"9th Anniversary of my parent's death and being in that horrible car crash."

"You don't need t.." Ava tried

"But I do. I don't cry in front of people."

"Okay then. The quicker you get home, the quicker you cry, the quicker the day ends."

"Exactly. Now, move it" I said pushing them out of the room

Once we were on our way back to my house with me flinging out the car door to get to my place quick enough to break down. As soon as I stepped inside I jogged up the stairs into my bedroom, shutting the door behind me and sliding on it, pulling my knees up and crying my heart out.

Every year on this date, I come home, stay in my room, and cry my heart out with no one coming to get me for anything. This year was apparently different. My Aunt came knocking on the door, wanting to talk. As I picked myself up from the floor to open the door to let my Aunt in. When she did, she hugged me straight away.

"Baby, you need to stop doing this to yourself. It's not your fault," she comforted

I could only cry harder

"Shhh, you're okay. You need to forgive yourself that it's not your fault."

"But it is" I sobbed

"No, it's not. How about we go to their graves?" She asked wiping my tears while I nodded.

"Okay" I choked

"Okay. Go get changed; we will leave in a minute" she left

I changed into something more comfortable but cute as it starting to become Autumn. Grabbing my walking stick before walking out of my room, down the stairs into the kitchen where I knew my Aunt would be.

"I'm ready when you are."

We drove to the ceremony in complete quiet. Amy knew I wasn't in the best state so she stayed quiet. Once the car pulled into the parking lot of the graveyard, taking a deep breath before opening the door and undoing my walking stick. Both my Aunt and I were still quiet as we walked towards my parents grave. Once we were in front of my parents grave, again, I completely broke down.
