Shawn.

And him.

"Mommy cry?"A soft voice spoke from behind me.

I jolted slightly, I touched my face with my palms to realize I had been crying all along.

I wiped my face with a swipe of my sleeves before turning around to face her.

I couldn't even manage a smile at her innocent present, not when I felt as if I just lost a part of my soul.

"What is wrong?You're hurt mommy ?" her expression turned sad , and at the same time serious as she gazed up at me.

Hurt.

It couldn't in anyway describe the agonizing pain I felt right now.

I stared at the closed door, even though it was a mere inches away, I felt like we've been separated by a whole universe.

"Then shall we go out?You always feel better after a walk "

A tiny smile formed at the corners of my lips, I was slightly surprised she still remembered that, it's been so long since I've done that and it had been when it was just the both of us.

" That's good " I said quietly.

It would be a quick way to clear my head, maybe it would help my pain subside a little.

"Then I'll go tell daddy, he'll accompanying us!"

My heart seared in renewed pain at her words.

"No.Not today Hazel, we'll ask him next time " her face fell a little but she didn't insist further.

We were half way outside when we bumped into Sebastian.

His gaze slowly traveled from me to Hazel...

"What's wrong with you , your eyes are swollen "

I was surprised by the apparent concern in his tone.

This would be the first time I've ever seen him being so concerned about me.I had thought that he just couldn't care less about anything.

I guess I was wrong.

"It's nothing, I'm just taking Hazel out for a little walk that's it "

He stared at both of us for a moment, this time I couldn't read his gaze.

"It's quite late are you sure?" his voice sounded uncertain.

He didn't mention for Hayden to go with us, I guess he somehow understood he was the reason why I needed this walk.

I stared up at the sky then back at him.

"It isn't quite late, besides its only about a five minute walk, I won't go far " I replied.

"Would you like to come with us?" Hazel spoke, staring up at him with an expectant look.
