Luna paced the place, unsteady and completely heartbroken. She didn't want to be with anyone, she wanted to be completely alone. Iris was with Theo and Claire, and Portia was distracted by her husband. She still didn't know anything. She didn't know what had happened to her father, she didn't know how cruelly he had been hurt.Two days had passed, two slow, agonizing days. She had gone from being the happiest woman in the world, to the most miserable. There was nothing to soothe the pain she felt at that moment.Angelica was dead, it was the only thing that comforted her. Her suicide had been the perfect proof of her irreversible state. She had no salvation. It was sad, if she thought about her whole story, who wouldn't go crazy if the love of your life was taken away from you, and you had no choice but to survive and hide for fear of being found by the same people who took him away from you?- Luna," the person behind her called, "James has woken up.Her heart began to pound. She ran
He walked through the long corridors of the hotel, checking the doors, anxious. It seemed to be a hallway with no end, and his nerves were getting louder and louder.204, 205, 206, 207. He knocked twice on the door and in less than two seconds, a slender woman with a familiar face stood in front of him.- I didn't think you were coming. - She looked at him tensely. He snorted.- I've come. May I come in?- Until you ask.The door opened further and James entered the room. The smell of cigarettes was almost visible and a table was positioned in front of the huge window.- Oh, that's your place. Sit down. - she ordered. James obeyed and sat down in front of the window.Angelica disappeared for a few seconds but then positioned herself in front of him, holding a box in her hand.- What are you planning? - he asked impatiently. She smiled.- Nothing bad, just a look around. - James looked at her doubtfully. - Let's go back in time. A young James Bexell, interested in experimenting, maybe
There was only one thing he still hated with all his life, the piano, and today, as an adult, he looks down on the beautiful instrument as his mother looks on with amusement.- Come on, Pinky, don't be a frustrated musician. - He exclaimed with amusement, quoting the movie he loved so much, Pink Floyd's The Wall.- I don't remember anything, actually.His mother snorted sarcastically.- So how are you going to play Portia's show, then? You volunteered.- I know, it's just that I actually thought I'd remember how to play, I didn't. I don't remember how to do it.Luna appeared through the door catching James and his mother's attention. She wore her hair tied up in a bun and baggy clothes. Her belly was huge and James knew how uncomfortable she could be.- Hello, Nana. - She greeted and kissed her mother-in-law's cheek. -- Hello James. - She kissed him. - Are you practicing Portia's songs?James looked at his mother cautiously and she quickly realized that her son didn't know what to say
The weather was mild, and orange light streamed in through the window of the large sky-blue room. James sat for a moment, Luna was snapping at him. He knew some pregnant women suffer mood swings but she was simply unbearable, she didn't like it when he talked to her, but when he didn't, she got angry. She also hated it when he touched her and the second he was demanding attention. They had argued 3 times in one day and James had resorted to the twins' room, which wasn't finished yet and he could give her a hand with the painting. He couldn't go with Rose as she was in the hospital taking care of Portia, it was nothing serious, but she had given them quite a scare. Three days ago Portia woke up crying as her pillow was full of blood, she had a headache and tachycardia so they had to rush to the hospital. The reason? There was a mix-up with the pills Portia was taking, the wrong bottle was given to her and for that reason her doctor received a major complaint.Portia had lost weight not
Luna watched TV while eating chocolate. She looked down at her belly and noticed that it had grown a little. She put a smile on her face and stroked it. The same thing had happened to her mother. The first five months she didn't notice it, but one day, out of nowhere, it exploded in size and became present. Luna was about to reach four months, but that day she had noticed a difference.She didn't know if she wanted two girls or two boys, she'd probably like to have a boy and a girl.The door rang. Luna stood up and quickly went to it. When she opened it, James was in front of her with a beautiful hanging on a hanger that he was holding in his left hand.- Will you put this on and come with me? - he asked with a smile. Luna looked at him and walked over to him, planted a long kiss on his lips and as she pulled away from his warmth she spoke.- Yes. What are you up to, Bexell? - she asked teasingly. James smiled.- I just want to celebrate you. - He replied and walked into the house. He
James opened his eyes slowly as he felt hands caressing his face.- Oh James...- She said in that voice he remembered perfectly.He smiled immediately as he looked at her.- Sarah, you... - He said in a whisper but was silenced by her voice.- You know I'm gone, don't you? - She asked in her totally serene voice.James nodded with a hint of sadness.- You're still there for me, Sarah...I....- No, James. What I mean is, I'm gone. You have a right to be happy. - She agreed with a peaceful smile. James stared at her. - You have to get your life together.- I have, I...- I know. - She confirmed. James looked at her in despair. - But it's hard for you to take the next step.- I'm sorry. - She replied and felt her eyes fill with tears. - I just don't know what to do.- You just have to forget. - She said with a smile on her face. She moved closer to James and placed a warm kiss on his lips. - I will always be with you, but it's time to move on.______The voices stunned James and the puls
