Meant to be

Chapter 4

Elena took off her clothes and went into the shower as soon as she got into her room.

The sensation of the warm water on her skin made her sigh in relaxation.She closed her eyes as the water cascaded her skin and she wished she could wash away her tiredness and exhaustedness along with the water.

While her eyes were still closed, she couldn't help but remember all the happy moments she shared with her parents which made her smile sadly.

She remembered how her mom would smile while staring at her lovingly and her dad would make kites for her which they would fly together.

She subconsciously wiped her tears from her eyes before remembering she was still in the shower.

Her parents death was the worst occurrence that she ever experienced and she couldn't help but wish she had died along with them.At least they would have been together in heaven if she had died along with them she,always reasoned to herself.

Her parents death had always haunted her and and she couldn't help but think it was her fault.

She quickly washed herself and got out of the shower before she starts getting silly thoughts.

When she got into her room wrapped in a towel, she heard the continuous knocking on her room door and then glanced at the fancy wall clock on the wall in her room that bailey gifted her on her nineteenth birthday.

'Thirty five minutes'!!! she took a whole thirty five minutes in the shower and she knew she had spent a lot of time reminiscing the happy moments she had shared with her parents before they died.

Suddenly her room door bursted open revealing an anxious bailey and she mentally scolded herself for getting her all worked up and worried.

Bailey's countenance immediately changed from anxiety to relief and then realization when she saw Lena's puffy eyes.

She immediately came over and engulfed her in a tight hug which Lena really needed right now.

A long comforting, relaxing, soothing hug not minding if she was still in a towel or not.

"You got me really worried and scared.I thought maybe something terrible had happened to you.I thought maybe you had drowned or something.If you're really mad at me for my refusal to give you cookies I'm really sorry you can have it all to yourself if that's what you want and I would make more for you and please you have to promise me that you would never ever blame yourself for your parents death again Isabella because it wasn't your fault.Okay?

Lena nodded her head.Bailey only called her Isabella which was her middle name only when they were having a very serious conversation or they had a pressing issue on ground.

She couldn't help but cry on Bailey's shoulders as she was very thankful for having such an amazing, wonderful, caring, and understanding whom she loved and she knew the feeling was reciprocal.

She had met bailey at a very dire situation where she was stranded after arriving new York City for the first time, after running away from her drug addict aunt who attempted selling her to her father's so called debtors whom she knew nothing about .Hence, the reason for her unplanned trip to NYC.

Bailey was like an angel in disguise after they met at the restaurant where she worked. Her reverie was cut short when bailey drew back from the hug while staring at her and smiling at her lovingly.

"Okay enough of the sulking and moping and mourning vibes right this instant and get dressed and come right out for dinner okay?

Lena smiled at Bailey's attempt of cheering her up.

"Okay"

"Now get dressed and wipe off every evidence of what just happened from your face.I would be waiting for at the dinning so be ready in five okay?

"Yes ma'am"

Lena's reply made bailey chuckle as she was happy that Lena's cheery mood had been restored.

After bailey left, Lena immediately applied her lotion and quickly donned on a big sweatshirt and rushed downstairs for dinner.

Her eyes immediately appreciated the sight before her and she couldn't help but drool over it.

Bailey chuckled at her reaction and they talked a lot over dinner before retiring to bed that night.
