Jane's POV Morning sunlight was now spilling through the curtains that were half drawn. Kennedy was sitting on the end of the bed as he was buttoning his shirt quietly.He looked as if he was in my memory. His sleeves were rolled up, his hair was a bit messy, his eyes were calm as if they were carrying a weight I could not understand l.I stood by the door as I crossed my arms just watching him. There was something intimate about seeing him like this, vulnerable but composed and his guard lowered for once.“You are leaving really early.” I said in a soft way.He looked up as a smile was on his lips. “I did not want to wake you up.”“Well, you failed.” I teased as I was now walking over to him. The scent from his perfume was warm and familiar and it filled the air. “You could have at least stayed back from breakfast.”He chuckled. “If I had done that, I probably would have not left.” My heart skipped.I came closer, leaning in as I was brushing my fingers on his collar to straighten

Jane's POV I heard the sound of quiet sobbing the moment I opened the door.It was Hannah who sat on the couch as she sobbed burying her face in her hands. Her shoulders were trembling as if the world had collapsed on them.“Hannah?” I asked gently as I tightened my hands on her. “Oh my God, what happened?”She looked up at me with swollen eyes and her mascara that was now rolling down her cheeks mixed with tears. She tried to speak but her voice started cracking but instead of words more tears started coming out. I held her tightly as I wrapped my arms around her. “Hey, it is okay. Just breathe okay.” It took her about a minute or two before the words finally came out from her mouth with a trembling whisper.“It is him, it's Kelvin.” Kelvin was her boyfriend, they have been together for a long time. Hannah turned down mady guys just because of him. “I went to see him,” she said as she was sniffing. “I just wanted to surprise him… before our trip.” I felt my chest become tight.

Jane's POVMorning came in a slow way, as if the world itself was not ready to wake up.The sun entered from the blinds as it was pouring on my bed and spilling onto the floor. I blinked as I looked at it and I was still half caught between sleep and memories until my eyes went to my phone that was on the nightstand.The call that came from last night was replaying in my head as if it was an echo that has refused to fade away. “Come home Jane.” Those words….For some seconds I just sat down there, quiet. The city outside was alive, distant.I used my hand to touch my hair as I was looking blankly at the wall. I had not gone home for many years.I was always sending money, called it every once in a while, and promised to visit soon. But that soon had ended up into years.And now… now I did not even know what I should be expecting.I stood up from my bed and I walked barefoot and opened the curtains wider. The light from the morning now completely filled the room.My chest started to f

Jane's POV Someone tapped me softly on my shoulder as it now drew me out of my sleep.“Jane, dear…” My mother's voice now came as it was sounding low and tired but it was having the same gentleness as always even when I am deeply exhausted.My eyes came open. I had fallen asleep as I was leaning on my father's bed, my hand still resting over his frail fingers.“Mum?” My voice came out as it cracked and I sat up, my neck was paining me from the position that I slept off in.“You should go and have your bath sweetheart,” she whispered as her hand was now brushing one hair from my face. “You were awake almost all night.”I nodded my head slowly as I started getting up. The air that was in the room was now feeling very thick and it had the smell of antiseptic and the tick of the clock that was on the wall was the only thing that filled the silence that was between us. My father was still asleep and his thin figure barely took up space in the mattress. I swallowed as I now forced myself

Jane's POV Morning was coming in in a soft way from the light curtains. I was barely able to sleep. My mind was restless throughout the night.The faint sound of plates that came from the kitchen told me that my mum was already awake. I sat up in a slow way as I was now rubbing my tires eyes than I looked at my Dad. He was still sleeping, his breathing was shallow but it was steady. I stretched out my hand and held his hand as I was tracing lines on his palm with my thumb in a gentle way.“Just hang in there for me Dad,” I whispered. I am going to make everything right. I promise.”After I had my bath and got dressed, I packed my small bag. When I stepped out, the scent that came from fried eggs and tea filled the house. Lisa was sitting at the dining table as she was scrolling through her phone while Ethan was lazily resting on the frame of the door.“You are up very early,” he muttered. “I was not really able to sleep,” I replied as I forced a smile.Mom now turned from the cooker
