Only a Secret | Sequel to Only a Memory

I'm Here

Arizona's p.o.v ;-

" He's passed on...the job he was doing was very dangerous and he knew this but he was helping us because he wanted the world to be a safer place, especially for you. His last words were ' Keep a smile on that beautiful face of yours darling. Even though I'm not here I'll be that star that'll be shining, I will always love you ' I am sorry to have to bring you this news to you. We are thinking of you " the voice says then hangs up.

I stand there, frozen.

I drop the phone and stumble backwards.

He was the only family I had left that actually cared about me, us.

I wanted to cry but I couldn't.

I needed to tell someone but I don't think the words would come out.

I just didn't know what to do.

After a few minutes of standing completely bewildered I managed to unglue my feet from the floor and walk upstairs to my bed.

I just needed a goodnight sleep and I'd be able to react in the morning.

Yeah, that'll work.

-----

7am and I still haven't fell asleep.

I'm knackered but all I have been thinking about is our memories.

We were in the park, my mum was there too.

We were at the pond feeding the ducks when a swan starting chasing after my dad.

His reaction was the best but I still couldn't find a smile.

I tried to smile but the emotion on my face was blank.

I didn't know if I wanted to be isolated away from the world or be with the people that mean the world to me.

----

3pm and my phone had been ringing.

It was Parker.

I answered it.

" Hey beautiful, do you want to do something today " he chirped.

Not even his voice could make me me smile.

I try to answer him but nothing came out.

" Ari? Are you okay? " his voice had deep concern in it.

I still couldn't answer.

" I'll be here in 10 minutes " he said quickly and hung up.

I put my phone down and stood up.

I stumbled over to my closet and pulled out some leggings and a jumper.

I got changed and walked downstairs and looked at the photos of my Dad and I.

My heart broke a little when I looked at them.

A knock in the door and I knew it was Parker.

I open it and he wraps his arms around me.

My eyes go watery but nothing.

" Ari, I'm worried about you, what's wrong? You are never this upset " he questions.

I look up at him and then take his hand and drag him to the house phone.

I hit the replay button and the message plays.

I sit on the couch and Parker joins me.

" Ari...I..I am so sorry " he takes my hand.

Just then everything catches up and I break down.

" It's okay Ari, we are all here for you, just remember we all love you " Parker says to me and pulls me into a hug.

' I..I'm sorry ' I say wearily.

" For what? " he replies.

' Crying on your shoulder ' I say.

" That's what it's there for "

' I love you ' I say pulling away from the hug.

" I love you too, now, you look shattered, go to bed and get some rest " he says.

' I don't want to be by myself tho ' I frown.

" Who said I was going to leave you " he smiles.

We walk upstairs into my room and I lay on the bed.

As soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm out like a light.
