Jill Malik P.O.V

"Ethan..." I sobbed as I held my phone close to my ear. My hands were shaking and I felt a headache coming up. "I'm so confused, I yelled at him and he walked out on me. I still love him, but at the same time....I'm so lost."

"Hush, Calm now. It's already late at night over there. You should be in bed right now." Ethan said in a soothing voice. "You were not harsh to him. Maybe a little. But you are broken Jill, don't expect everything to go perfect and smooth."

I wiped away my tears and sniffed. "But Ethan. I'm so confused, I don't know what to do. I thought it would be easy , but it's not."

I could feel my heart crumble when Flynn angrily walked out of my apartment. I wanted him to hug me, soothe me, convince me that he changed. But I don't feel like he's doing enough. Or do I just have high expectations?8

I heard Ethan sigh on the other side of the line. "He will come around, okay? Flynn will come around. He loves you, he's not going to stay mad at you."

"But I was so mean to him." I sobbed again, more tears flowing on my cheeks. "I can't stay like this. It's too painful."

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow is a new day, everything is going to be alright. Goodnight, Jill."1

"Goodnight, E."

I put my phone down and looked at the sleeping Amari. She was sleeping so peacefully, her hair covering half of her face. I should have braided her hair before she fell asleep. I carried Amari inside the bedroom and layed down next to her. My eyes were puffy from crying and my heart was aching, but I managed to fall asleep.

Under the covers I cuddled with Amari to keep the nightmares away. Amari was my peace, when she was close to me I slept peacefully. No nightmares, but a very restful sleep.
