FAITHFUL BOND ♡

20.SUMMER

Cry - Mandy Moore

I'll always remember,
It was late afternoon.
It lasted forever
And ended so soon.
You were all by yourself.
Staring up at a dark gray sky.
I was changed.

In places no one will find,
All your feelings so deep inside.
It was there that I realized,
That forever was in your eyes,
The moment I saw you cry.

It was late in September
And I've seen you before .
You were always the cold one.
But I was never that sure.

I wanted to hold you.
I wanted to make it go away.
I wanted to know you.
I wanted to make your everything
all right..

Chapter 20 : SUMMER

ISABELLA'S POV

"Let me rephrase it for you,
What are you doing here ?" He says after taking a deep breath .

" To do what I should have done a long ago " I say and run into his unwelcoming arms .

"Go away Izzy " he whispers , while trying to push me away .

" I'm not going anywhere "

" You hate me , remember?"

" If by hate you mean love , I do"

I hug him even tighter and he finally processes my words and stops pushing me away .

I feel him stiffen before his arms wraps around me and he lowers his head and rests it on my shoulder .

"Izzy I miss her " he mumbles

"I know you do "I say and my left hand roams around his back , trying to sooth him .

He starts crying and I start to feel how vulnerable he actually is .

I don't know for how long we actually stayed that way , but after he was almost done crying , I made him sit on his bad and wiped his tears .

Looking at his state , I almost cried but controlled myself .

I have to be strong for him. I have to help him get through this .

"Why did she had to leave so early !"

"Look at me Ro " I say and he obeys

"She never left us . She's your mother Ro and nothing can separate a mother from her child , not even death "

I point my finger at his heart ,
"She's there " .

He was controlling his tears and
all I wanted to do was to somehow bring Aunt Sumner back to life !

"Come with me " I say

"Where ?"

"Just come "I say and drag him out of his room .

We proceeded towards the terrace .

Luckily the door was unlocked and we stood near the edge .

I point towards the night sky ,
"She's also watching us from up there Ro . You have to believe it"

"I know but it hurts a lot "

"I know . Ro , you have to understand that you are not the only one suffering .
Have you ever thought of your father , he lost his wife ?
Your sister , imagine her situation .
I still remember the way Aunt and your sis used to blicker , it was fun and games until Aunt Summer's death , Riley blames herself for all of it and you are the only one she talks to "
