Chapter Two
I walked down the stairs with Charlotte wrapped under my arm. Heading into the kitchen, Rob was sat down at the table, feeding Marcus his bottle. I smiled at them as Charlotte went over to coo over the baby. I had made it clear to Charlotte that I’d greatly appreciate it if she and Rob could have Marcus today. I was already going to be emotional enough.
‘Right, Are you guy all ready to go?’ I asked them, noticing the time. They all mumbled a sad ‘’yes’’ and we headed out side to the cars.
Waiting out side the church, I looked at every one that was there for Gina. it was weird, Most of these people I’d never seen before in my life, but they clearly meant a lot to Gina.
‘Mum, Dad’. Charlotte pushed away from Rob and ran over to a couple that was walking towards us. They all shared a hug and cried together. It was quite upsetting really. ‘Come and Meet Brian’.
I haven’t meant her parents yet, this didn’t seem like the nicest situation to be meeting, but I was the father of their grand child so I didn’t have a choice. They all approached us, Rob quickily passed Marcus over to me.
I couldn’t help but smile sadly at how cute he looked in his tiny black suit.
‘Mum, Dad, This is Brian and His and Gina’s son, Marcus’. Her mum was crying, clearly a broken woman, her dad looked… empty.
Clearly, a couple who had lost so much and struggling to function.
‘Mr and Mrs Morrison, I’m so sorry we’re meeting under these circumstances’. I told them whole heartedly. They nodded. ‘This is Marcus’.
‘Oh, He’s so perfect’. Charlotte's mum stepped forward and asked to hold him, I instantly agreed and passed him over.
‘Your sister couldn’t face coming’. Charlotte's dad told her. She nodded, understandingly. Peyton had been in contact with the family for the past few months.
How cruel, They got one daughter back and lost another. What kind of god would allow some thing like that to happen?
Sat down at the front of the church, Listening to peoples readings and the poems and hymns every one was singing, I just couldn’t take my eyes off her coffin.
Her beautiful, white, coffin, that she was currently inside of. I couldn’t handle it. The idea of her in there, all alone, it broke my heart. The longer I stared, the more upset I got. I tried to deal with it as best as I could, but… I just couldn’t.
I stood up quickily and ran out of the church. Charlotte and Rob calling my name didn’t stop me., People mumbled as I ran past, but I didn’t care.
I couldn’t stand to see her like that.
I got out of the church and doubled over, not being able to breathe, feeling so over whelmed with emotion, I had honestly never felt pain like it. When I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder, I jumped and shrugged it off, but then I saw it was only Robert.
‘Man, are you ok?’ I shook my head. Not even able to talk. ‘Come on dude’. Putting an arm around me, he surprised me until we reached a bench and we were able to sit down.
‘I just can’t get over it, Rob. I cant. I can’t accept this’. He just looked at me. ‘I don’t want to be here with out her, I dont want to live without her!’.
‘Bri, You need to, you have a son-’
‘Yeah, A son I can’t even to stand to look at Rob! What kind of father am I?’
‘You’re not a bad dad because you’re struggling to deal with losing some one you love Bri, it makes you human’. I shook my head and dropped my head into my hands.
‘I’m not human. I never was. I’m pure evil in human skin’.
‘Don’t be stupid. If that were true, you’d never have loved Gina as much as you did’.
‘I don’t want to say good bye’. I started crying again. Rob just placed his hand and just let me get my feelings out.
It was about half an hour later and people started coming out of the church. I watched as they hung around for a little while and then slowly started to leave. Charlotte had Marcus, she had her parents were the last ones to come out.
Charl looked around, obviously trying to find us before her eyes did and she said some thing to her mum and dad, they nodded and left.
‘Now every one's gone, I’ll give you what ever time and space you need ok?’ I nodded. He patted me on the back and headed over to Charlotte and then they left too, leaving me here. I sat for a while, actually trying to get the will power to just walk into that building and say good bye.
If I didn’t do it now, I’d regret it. I know I would.
But I couldn’t.
Instead, I stood up and headed the other way, towards town.
I went into one of the bars and looked around before I found what I was looking for. A lonely girl, sat at the bar, as soon as I saw her, I knew she was the one. From the back, she looked like Gina. Same body shape, same hair colour…
Would I f**k her or kill her?
I went and sat down next to her, and the second she looked at me and smiled, I knew exactly what I’d do…
