City by the Sea 2

Elijah

I copy her, smirking.

Alexis

I laugh and plant a kiss on his cheek.

Elijah

I smile at her and kiss her cheek back.

Alexis

I smile and place my hand on the side of his face, rubbing my thumb on his cheek.

Elijah

I smile and close my eyes.

Alexis

I smile as his eyes close and i move my hand away.

Elijah

I stay where I am and keep my smile, sighing.

Alexis

The phone rings and I sigh as I get up. I kiss his forehead once I am standing. I walk over to the phone and pick it up. "Hello."

"Hey honey." My mom say. I can tell she is sobbing.

"Mom, what's wrong" I ask.

"It's your grandmother, she's gone."

I am so in shock. Tears rush I to my eyes. "No, she was doing great when I left. How did this happen?'' I ask being to sob.

"She passed away in her sleep. We are holding her funeral down there tomorrow. You brother and I will be Coming down. I love you and I will see you in the morning." The phone call ends and I hang it up, dropping to the ground after. I sob into my hands.

Elijah

Alexis starts sobbing and I sit up, walking to her and dropping at her side. I wrap my arms weakly around her and put aside my own problems for a few moments, tending to hers, "What's wrong?"

Alexis

Speaking was so hard with all crying. ''My grand mother passed away."

Elijah

My heart aches at the sight of her and I tighten my grip with her words, comforting her.

Alexis

'' besides my brother, we were the the closest. We had such a good relationship, and now she's gone."

Elijah

I kiss the top of her head, "She's in a better place now, Alexis. I'm sorry."

Alexis

I lean up against him and cry. I close my eyes and try to stop my sobbing.

Elijah

I hold her close as she cries and comfort her the best I can.
