Today is mom's birthday and she's not even here with me.Walking through the graveyard,images of our happy moments flash through my mind.
"Happy birthday mom.I love you so much"I try not to cry.
Sitting on the floor,I stare at them.
"Mom,Dad,Angel,I have a lot to tell you.I'm sorry for not talking to you since I left.I just didn't have the strength to face you.I hope you understand"I manage to say.
"Life has been so tough without you with me.I feel...''I try to find the write word to use
"empty"
I proceed to tell them everything
"i don't know how you'll feel about all this but it's just what is really happening here. I know you're with me at every point of my life and I'll sail through this"I pull myself to my feet.
"i'm sorry I couldn't save you that night"I frown as tears well up in my eyes again.I can feel a hand touch me gently,immediately sending a wave of comfort through me.
"thank you for understanding me.I have to go now"
Walking away,I feel some kind of happiness I can't explain.I'll be doing this more often.I never thought a one sided conversation could make me feel this good.
I walk along the street leading to my new house.At least I'll have Elsa and Andy to talk to.Although they pretend to hate me in the presence of their mother,they come to talk to me in my room.I feel beer,knowing they have my back.
Immediately i enter my house,I'm surprised to see the house surrounded with policemen.Did something happen?I try to walk closer and I sight a man in handcuffs.Immediately, I notice that very familiar spider tattoo on his arm and I finally recognise him.He held me that night.The night of the murder.A wave of fright blows through me and I shiver as I try to draw a little closer.
"they're dead sir"A man in uniform says and I gasp
''W-who is d-dead?"I run into the house and four dead bodies await me.I drop to my knees,take Elsa's hand in mine and drop it.She's really dead?
"She-she's not dead is she?"I turn to the man beside me
"Talk to me!"I yell
"i'm so sorry"he shakes his head
"sorry?No!Y'all lying to me aren't you?NO!They can't be dead"I shake my head unable to comprehend anything.''Elsa,wake up,it's one of your games right?Just get up please!"I sob
Two months on...
