Chapter 25: Be Kind - Marshmello ft Halsey (Part 2)

Julia's POV

She sat next to Cecilia and laughed. "I thought you do that!" Julia gave her a hot chocolate and shook her head.

"It's public area, Cecilia. Not private." She drinks her hot chocolate while watching a tree in front of her.

It's already 19 hours since rain trapped them in the middle of the woods. Julia fixes Cecilia's long hair and steals a kiss on her cheek. She took a deep breath. It's not fair, but she was ready to let her go. "Julia? What's wrong?" Julia shook her head and took a deep breath.

"No, nothing." Julia leaned her back and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and feels her lungs with petrichor. She likes it, it's calmed her a bit.

Her chest starts to heavy, and she looks at Cecilia, who leaned her head on her chest. "Julia?" Julia hummed. She straightened her body. "What if I can't love you? Will you leave me?" Julia nods.

"I let you go, but I will protect you until you find someone you love, and I will leave you." Julia's heart pounding so fast. This is the end? She shook her head and sighed. Her sweat dripping all over her body, and she gulping her saliva. Waiting for what will happen next.

"Are you feeling it's unfair?" Julia chuckles. She wants to tell her, but she's unsure of something. Julia sighed.

Cecilia's POV

Cecilia waiting for Julia's answer. "Yes," she said.

Cecilia straightened her body and hunched. Julia's short answer is a proof that it hurt her. It's unfair for her, as well. Cecilia sighed. She never treated her like an animal. Cecilia knows, she and Chester already broke up. Chester was happy with his fiance.

She should try to love the person who was sitting next to her. "Julia," Julia hummed. Cecilia took off her sweater and exposing her shoulder.

"What are you…" Cecilia put her finger and shushing her.

Julia, who saw Cecilia's shoulder, which is exposed. She helped Cecilia to take off her jacket. "I-I want to tell you something." Cecilia unbuttoned her shirt and track pants. Now Cecilia is half-naked. Julia is speechless as she looks at Cecilia's abdomen to her tights.

Julia took off her jacket and try to cover her body with her sweater. "Wh-what are you doing!? Y-you don't have to, Cecilia!" Julia dragged Cecilia to their tent, and she sighed. "Listen, if you want to tell me something, please tell me." She cupped her face.

Julia POV

Julia embraces her wife and stroked her hair. She can feel Cecilia's body was shaking. She reassuring her wife, "Who did this to you?" Her voice crack. Julia clenches her jaw and fist.

She stroke her hair and took a deep breath. "Who the monster did that to you, Cecilia? I promise I won't do a stupid decision," she wiped the tears as Cecilia sobs. It hurts her.

I know you're chokin' on your fears

Already told you I'm right here

I will stay by your side every night - Marshmello ft Halsey

Julia grabbed her hand and kissed her fingers. She waits for her wife to tell her. "It's okay, I'm here," Cecilia embracing her and cried.

Cecilia POV

Cecilia walks to Chester's house and knocked the door. She waits outside his house and took a deep breath. "Where is him?" She took a peek through the window and sighed. She knocked on the door once again, but no one came to open the door.

When Cecilia wants to leave, Chester called her. "Cecilia!" Cecilia sighed.

She gave him the box and smiled. "My family and I want to move to Texas." Chester hold her hand. "Che-" Chester slapped her on her cheek and dragged her inside.

"No, you stay with me!" She pushed Cecilia to the ground and locked the door. Cecilia touched her face and took a deep breath.

"Chester, please." Cecilia stood up and he pushed her to the ground. Chester dragged her to his room.

Cecilia covered her naked body with a blanket as she looked at Chester, walking back and forth. "I love you, Cecilia. I-I can't live without you!" Cecilia closed her eyes tight, and shiver. She feels an icy hand touch her.

"Chester, I want to go home!" Cecilia cries. "I wanted to go home…" she begged. Chester approached her and slapped her face.

"You already home, Cecilia! It's your home now!" Her eyes were closed.

"I want…" The duo become quiet as they heard someone knocked on the door. "Wait here!" Chester took his t-shirt and walked to the floor door.

"And after that, I'm wearing my clothes quickly and called my parents from the public telephone." She said. "They way he asked me, 'are you alive,' that day. I feel like…" Julia stroked her hair. "I feel like he betrayed me," she cries. Julia took a deep breath.

Julia tries to reassuring her, "You're not alone, Cecilia. I have one too," she rubs Julia's face, "she's did not abuse my physical, but my mental." Cecilia rubbed her face.

"You want to hear a story?" Cecilia nods. Julia smiled as she kissed her hand. "I'm here, babe. I will try my best to understand you." Julia holds her hand tight.

"Did your daughter didn't know who am I?" Julia took out her gun and shot Mr. Jacqueline on the leg. Evie gasp and looks at her.

"What did you do to my dad!?" Julia put her gun and raised her hand.

"Pushed me," she said. "If I died, it's self-defense." Evie did not push her. She clenched her fist and point finger at her.

"You a liar! Disgusting pig! A rat!" Julia tried not to cry. "You don't deserve to live! I don't love you, and you are the worst people I ever met. You obsessed with me. Also, you are not good at the bed! Why would I keep you? It's wasting my time!" Evie helped her dad and helping her dad.
