Chapter 71: You are my sunshine
Emily's POV
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away
When I opened my eyes, Waylen was singing. It took a while to realize that he was singing to me. It was the sweetest sound I had ever heard.
I kept my eyes closed so he wouldn't stop singing and I burrowed deeper into his embrace.
I wondered how long it had been since I said goodbye to Eloise.
Four hours perhaps? or maybe more, I stopped counting a few minutes after Jon and Tara pried me out of her arms and took her.
I stopped…everything.
I just sat on the floor where they left me and I stayed down.
I stayed down because I got no more fight left in me.
None whatsoever because if the world insists on beating me down then what was the point of getting back up again.
