ログインSienna's POV
The auto went slow between lines of woods dropping their leaves. I looked out the glass, seeing Noah by the school door, waving his small hand at us before rushing in with his pals. His face was so bright, pure, full of joy as usual and seeing him like that I couldn’t help but feel some warmth in my chest.I stayed looking until his tiny shape vanished behind the door then let out a quiet breath and leaned back on the chair. Liam got into his seat, shutting the carSienna's POV"It's true."I looked down at our hands. The weight of those words felt heavy in my chest.Liam had been taking care of me. "Because I want to take care of you."Liam did not wait to answer. That made my chest hurt more.I closed my eyes away. My heart felt warm. It hurt at the same time.Now Liam was still thinking about me. He was trying to be the person I could lean on.He was doing this even though he was struggling to stay standing himself. He was carrying the loss.I remembered the nights over the last few weeks. I woke up crying.I called Noah's name over and over. I barely ate anything.Liam was always there. He never complained.He never left me alone. Not even when I pushed everyone away.I touched his cheek. For a moment Liam looked surprised.I did something. Maybe it had been a time since
Sienna's POVI opened my eyes slowly. The white ceiling was staring back at me.I blinked a few times but I did not move. It was hard to lift a finger.I just lay there staring blankly at the ceiling. I did not feel anything.No sadness, no anger, not even the urge to cry. There was emptiness.A huge emptiness that felt like a part of my life was gone, leaving a hole that could never be filled.I took a breath and turned my head to the other side of the bed. It was empty.My mind started thinking about Noah. My chest felt tight. No tears came.Maybe I had cried a lot already. Maybe my heart was just too tired.I closed my eyes and memories of Noah came back to me. One by one they filled my mind.I remembered when I first held Noah in my arms. I remembered his hand holding my finger and his loud cries.I remembered when he learned to walk and
Liam's POV I could hear soft noises from a police station behind him.A door opening. People talking.Footsteps moving back and forth.At the same time, I stayed stuck in a space full of thoughts about my child."Any other developments?"My voice sounded exhausted.Tomy did not answer immediately."There are still some things the investigators are looking over."I frowned slightly."What do you mean?""They're trying to make a more full time line."I stared out the bedroom window.The morning sun was starting to peek through the curtains.That light did not make anything feel better."They wanna know if Emily had been watching your family’s moves before this."My chest tightened immediately.Tracking us?I gripped the phone more firmly.
Liam's POVI sat on the side of the bed, looking at Sienna's face when she was sleeping. She had been asleep since yesterday but she still has not really woken up.I softly moved the bits of hair hiding part of her face. She seemed way more calm than she had in the last few weeks.There was no weeping. No empty looks. No more wild shouts for Noah's name in the night time.Yet, I realized this did not say Sienna was fine. She was just very tired.Her body was making itself to rest. It was trying to fix hurts that could not be seen.I let out a deep sigh. Then I took her chilly hand softly."I know you're still hurting."My sound was gentle. Maybe even more gloomy than I wished it to be.Since Noah was born Sienna has given her whole life to him.I ͏still recall how she freaked out when Noah had a small fever. I remember how she could not rest before his fi
Emily's POV I immediately shook my head. "No." My voice trembled. "I don't want to." The guard didn't care. He gently pushed me inside. I turned around at once. "Wait!" "I'm innocent!" My voice rose. "I didn't kill Noah!" The iron door slammed shut in front of me. Bang! The sound made me freeze. I immediately ran to the bars and gripped them tightly. "Please!" "I didn't mean to do it!" "Please let me out!" I cried and screamed. Yet the corridor remained silent. No one answered. No one cared. Slowly, I sank onto the floor. My sobs grew louder. I wrapped my arms around my knees. I was truly alone. Robert had left me. Rachel hated me. Now, I couldn't even forgive myself anymore. I covered my face with both hands. Yet the harder I tried to forget everything, the clearer Noah's image became. His face. His smile. Then Sienna's vo
Emily’s POV The smell of metal and damp air hit me the moment I stepped inside that place. A prison. A place I had only ever seen on television. Now, I was standing inside it. "No." I shook my head over and over again. This couldn't be happening. I wasn't a criminal. I wasn't a murderer. I had simply lost control that day. I immediately turned toward the officer walking beside me. My voice echoed through the long corridor. "You arrested the wrong person!" "I didn't mean to do it!" The officer kept walking without even looking at me. Panic immediately began to rise inside me. "I'm innocent!" Tears streamed down my face. My voice cracked as I pleaded. "Please listen to me!" Still, there was no response. The handcuffs
Sienna's POV We began assembling the blocks one by one. Noah burst into loud laughter every time Liam put a wall piece the wrong way. “Daddy, that’s upside down! The house will fall over!”Liam pretended to grumble. “Your dad has been an architect for three whole minutes, don’t dist
Liam's POV Emily's contact caused me to tense up.In the past at some point I could have eased up. That’s not the case now. Not anymore.“I will ensure you are properly looked after," I stated calmly. “I cannot remain here.”“Why?" Emily begged. "Is
Sienna's POV Noah spoke those words naively, but the effect hit me like a bolt of lightning right in the middle of my chest. I looked at him, my lips parted a bit, then swiftly glanced at Liam. Liam, who had been breathing heavily from playing with the ball, stopped
Sienna's POV I feigned being occupied with checking crumbs on the floor, so I wouldn’t have to meet his eyes. But I did hear that tone the haughty one that sent heat to my cheeks.We continued joking and laughing. And Noah never stopped talking, about the dinosaurs, about his friend who
