Chapter 22 - Just What I Needed
(Flora's POV)

-2 weeks later-

I had my grandmothers funeral which was very upsetting. It took place the weekend after our sleepover. I managed to say a speech but it wasn't very good and I couldn't stop crying. Helia was with me the whole time though which I suppose made it a bit better for me. I smile a little as someone gently takes hold of my hand, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Hey." I greet Helia as I look up at him.

"You okay?" Helia asks me noticing my previous daze. I slowly nod in response to him.

"Yeah, I was just thinking." I answer.

"What about?" He asks curiously as we walk together, hand in hand. I look up at him and I know he can tell by my expression that I was thinking about my Grandmother's funeral. "Flora, you need to stop beating yourself up over her death, it wasn't your fault." Helia tells me firmly.

"Helia I'm not-" I begin to argue with him when he cuts me off.

"Yes you are Flora, you keep thinking about it all and saying it was your fault and that you could of done something." Helia says cutting me off. I frown as I look at him.

"But that's the thing Helia, I could have done something!" I reply as I begin to tear up just thinking about it. He stops walking and pulls me into an embrace.

"Flora I didn't want to have to say it like this but there's nothing you could of done, there's nothing anyone could of done. She was going to die from it no matter what anyone did they just could of given her a little more time but it would still of ended the same way." Helia explains gently to me causing me to cry a little. He gently rubs my back and whispers soothing words softly in my ear.

"But why did you tell me everything would be okay? Why did you tell me that she would be okay?" I ask him.

"Because she is and it will be." He replies gently.

"What do you mean?" I ask him confused.

"She's in a better place now where she doesn't have to suffer with her illness any longer and soon everything will get better." Helia explains as he gently wipes away my tears and dries my eyes. I slowly nod as we begin walking. Soon he stops in the middle of a random street.

"Helia why have you stopped walking?" I ask him confused. He smiles gently at me.

"I want to take you somewhere for a surprise but you're going to have to trust me to guide you there as you can't see where we're going." He tells me. I hesitantly nod as he ties something over my eyes before wrapping his arms around me a guiding me somewhere. He keeps whispering things in my ear like 'Stop', 'go', 'we're nearly there' and so on. Soon I hear a door opening and closing before he guides me up some stairs and through another door. He then stops me and takes off the blindfold. I gasp.

"Helia..." I start. He smile gently at me seeing my reaction.

"This is why you had to stay with Aisha, so we could make you a perfect room without you knowing." Helia explains. "All of your things are here from your grandmother's and from Aisha's house." He adds.

"It's amazing! Thank you." I thank him as I look around. The walls are baby pink with flower patterns painted on. The floor is still the same white carpet but now there is a fluffy pink flower rug over it. The normal bed with white sheets has been replaced with a bed in the shape of a leaf with green bed sheets and lots of flower shaped pillows. There's a walk in wardrobe full of clothes with a frame that has small flowers painted on. There's a full length mirror on the wall near the door with a cream dressing table next to it, there's then a few sets or draws and so on. Plants are placed all around the room as well as some cuddly toys.

"I thought you'd like it." Helia says obviously happy.

"I love it." I assure him when something catches my eye. "What are these?" I ask confused kneeling down next to them. Helia laughs a little.

"Look around, you'll find out." He replies amused. I do. I begin looking when suddenly something jumps on me. It's a puppy! I giggle as it licks my face but then a kitten jumps on me as well. I grin. I was wondering what the two food and two water bowls were for as well as the small cat bed and big dog bed.

"Since when?" I ask Helia happily surprised.

"I recently brought the two of them to surprise you, no one else knows not my parents, Macy or any of the others. They're yours." Helia explains s he sits down on the floor next to me. I smile as I hug him.

"Thank you." I thank him. "For everything." I add. He smile and gives me a gentle kiss.

"You're welcome my flower." He replies. I look at the small cat in my hands and smile.

"I think I'll call her Coco." I say to no one particular. "As for you, I think the name Amarok suits you quiet well." I say as I look at the puppy. Amarok licks my face happily.

"Come on my flower, my parents and Macy are putting a movie on tonight for all of us to watch." Helia tells me taking my hand. I nod as we get up and walk downstairs. Helia's parents are laying on one sofa with Macy so Helia lays on the other sofa, carefully pulling me down with him. He wrpas me in his arms and smiles as I blush a little.

"We're watching 'Lion King 2'" Macy announces happily as she gets off one sofa and walks over to us before climbing on and laying on top of Helia. I giggle a little watching Macy. The film is about to start when Amarok and Coco come running down the stairs. Everyone gasps other than me and Helia. Amarok lays down next to the sofa we're on while Coco jumps andd curls up next to Macy where there is space.

"Helia when did we get these two?" Helia's mother Aria asks motioning to Amarok and Coco.

"Yesterday, I brought them for Flora." Helia explains as the films starts.

"Just tells us next time." Jackson, Helia's father tells him before being hushed by Macy who wants to watch the film.

-That Night-

By now we've eaten and showered after we finished watching the film. I stand ready for bed with Helia. Amarok pulls his dog bed over to my bed before steeling down in it. I get into my new bed with Helia who's agreed to stay in my room with me tonight. He pulls the duvet over us before pulling me into his arms. I rest my head on his chest and smile. Coco then jumps up onto the bed and curls up on the end of the bed also ready to sleep. "Goodnight Helia." I tell him as I close my eyes.

"Goodnight my flower." He replies as he gently kisses my forehead. It's only a matter of minutes until I'm peacefully asleep in his arms. Now this is what I've been needing. A chance to start over with a new life and new friends. A chance to have a new beginning.

The End.
