Chapter Twenty-five

***Effy's thoughts***

I can't believe she has just done that for me!

No one has ever done such a thing for me.

There are pictures everywhere, it's beautiful, meaningful! It's just awesome!

I'm speechless but for different reason ... she has just made me alive again!

So I'm kissing her hard cause I need to show her that me too I care a lot about her.

I want her to feel and to see how much she means to me...

I raise her by placing my hands under her buttocks, and I headed for the table at the back of the attic while keeping my lips against her body.

I'm attached to her, and it's just an awesome feeling. I gently deposed her on the table.

"I love you K. I just need something, don't go anywhere.."

"There is nowhere else I wanna be ..."

I run to take my camera. I so much want to thank her for what she has done, for what she has done to me!

When I came back she's still there, radiant as always.

She has a radiant smile, and with the candle's light it's just one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

So I take a picture of this wonderful moment.
Images mean so much more than words.

She hands me her right hand and makes me come closer.

We kiss again, but this time it's more slow, even more meaningful.

"God I've miss this, I've miss you ..."

"K. Thanks really, it means a lot to me!"

"You mean a lot to me so no need to thank me, just ... just kiss me now ... I need you!"

I start to kiss her neck, her jaw line. Then i take the time to suck and lick her pulse point.

I start to undo her shirt when a huge scream scare us.

Oh my god it's Tom.

I don't hesitate for a second, I run to the girls bedroom.

He's there on the floor crying while Naomi and Emilie are on his side trying to make him calm down.

Katie arrives only seconds later, when she notices the tears on my cheek she reaches my hand.

Almost an hour later Tom is sleeping on the bed between the girls.

The death of his mum has been a real shock to him.

He has been crying all the tears of his body.

Poor boy ...

Katie and I are spooning on the couch next to the bed.

Any of us have been able to leave the room, we can't let him.

He need us, and right now that the only thing that matters.

"Eff, you're asleep?"

"No ... I just can't ..."

"Me neither ... I can't believe that this is over ... I mean he's only five years old ..."

"Yeah I know I've been thinking the same thing ..."

"What gonna happen to him?"

"I don't know ... maybe that ... the girls ..."

"What? They're too young and ..."

"It doesn't really matters ... I mean ... well I've learn recently that being a mother isn't something easy but it definitely has nothing to do with how old you are ..."

"Yeah you're probably right ... We'll see ..."

"Yeah ... Get some rest, He'll need us tomorrow."

"You're right...Good night..."

"Good night."

"Eff... I'm glad you're back ..."

"Me too ..."

She slowly kisses my neck and then we both fall asleep in each other's arms.

Hours later when I open my eyes, I realise that Naomi isn't there.

"Ems ... Ems ..."

She looks at me.

"Where is she?"

"She has to go, they need someone for all the documents and the preparation of the funerals."

A tear is running to her cheek. She seems broken too.

I gently wake Katie up.

"Babe ... open your eyes ... babe."

"Humm ... why ..."

"Your sister needs you."

She immediately opens her eyes, and we both stand up.

I take the place of Naomi and i put my arms around Tom, I don't want him to feel alone.

Right now he need to know that we all are here for him.

Katie is now on the other side of the bed, behind Emily she's spooning her and she is whispering nice things on Emilie's ears.

She's not just great with me, she's a great person.

"MUM! ! ! NO ! ! !"

Tom is shaking he's probably having a nightmare.

The sound of his little voice so broken makes me shiver.

I envelop him with all my body.

I just wish I could make the pain go away, I don't deserve any of it!

Life's so unfair!

He slowly starts to relax but for how long ...

We stay like that in bed for almost an entire day.

At least until Naomi comes back.

Then Katie and I go downstairs to see how she's doing, and what is happening.

She's seating in the kitchen, she looks exhausted.

"You're ok?"

"Yeah fucking great ... really Katiekins ...Sorry I just can't believe it ... she's dead ... and now what?"

"It's ok I understand, it must have been really hard ... when are the funeral?"

"Tomorrow ... here ..."

"Ok we all will be there for you and Tom."

"Thanks Eff, it means a lot to me, ant to him too!"

"What about Tom?"

"I ... I don't know Eff ... She has made it pretty clear that she wanted me to take care of him ... but i don't know ... we're young, and he'll need someone strong ... and ... cause ..."

"What do you really want then?"

"I don't know ... I ..."

Then we all spot Emily in the doorway...

"Girls can you go upstairs and look after Tom?"

"Yeah of course Ems!"

"Take your time we'll look after him."

***Emilie's thoughts***

I take a seat next to Naoms and i immediately put one on my hand on her lower back and the other one on her thigh.

I try my best to make her feel better.

She has her head in her hands.

"Naoms look at me please..."

She immediately look me straight in the eyes. God i love her so much ...

I kiss her on the lips as a reminder of our love.

"Naoms I love you, I've pretty much always done and i know it's not gonna end anytime soon. And I love Tom too, and if you want him to live here with us then fine I'll be there for you both and I'll be happy with that. But if you don't wanna do that then I'll be there too. I love you but this is pretty much your decision because I'm ready no matter what is gonna happen. I know we're young and everything but I really think that we can do that. In fact, together I think that we could do pretty much everything."

"Ems, you really think so?"

"Of course I do Naoms, I'm sure ... well I've never be much sure of anything actually! But you have to think about this, it's his life we are talking about ... and please if you feel scared, talked to me ... I'm there, just by your side!"

"I know ... I love you so much Ems, you're an amazing girl! I'm so lucky to have you!"

I'm now kissing the hell out of her.

She's wrong I'm so lucky to have her, she has change my life, she's my life now ... And I'll be quiet pleased to have Tom in my life too. I already love him a lot!
