Hi I would like to start this off by saying the first 13 chapter were written over a year ago. 14 to wherever we are now have been written more recently so there may be some inconsistencies. Some of the language I used last year is "cringy" and I apologize for that.
Also if you have felt like you have read this book before, you have. I re wrote the ending so anything past 13 is new and I deleted the old ending.
Thank you!

The grass was soft on my legs as I sat next to the hunk of marble that was on the ground. Ducks quaked as they swam in the pond across from me and the smoke from my cigarette was flying up into the air, wrapping around me.
"Okay mom I gotta get going but I'll be back next week okay?" I said to the grave stone putting the white lighter back into the box of cigarettes and tucking it into the flower holder on the stone. . I rubbed my cigarette against the stone Before dropping it onto the ground and standing up.
"Uh bye Ms. Judy nice to see you again." Demetri said.
"Bye Ms. Fall." Eli said barley even above a whisper.
"Come on guys." I said throwing my arms around their shoulders as I walked back to my car.
"I never get over how you direspect your moms grave." Demetri said shaking his head. I rolled my eyes, "we've been over this. She did the same for her mom. Smoke a cigarette and put it out on the gave so she can ghost smoke it." I smiled at the boy, "your going to have to do the Same for me."
"I am not smoking a cigarette nor am I disrespecting your grave." He said.
I shrugged, "guess I'm going to have to haunt you." Demetri turned to look at me, "you wouldn't dare."
"Oh I would. Eli too." I said rubbing the kids hair. Eli looked at me for a second, "would you really?" I smiled wildly, "guess you'll have to kill me to find out." The boys face turned white and I laughed before retracting my arms fround around their shoulders and grabbing my keys out of my pocket as we started approaching my car.
Demetri grabbed the passenger door and I snapped my fingers at him and pointed to the back. "Why does Eli get the front seat every time?" He argued.
"Because Eli Dosent yell at me when I run a stop sign." I said glaring at Demetri. "He only grabs onto his seatbelt alittle harder."
"There's no airbags in the back." He said as he got into the back seat. "That's why Your back there." I said smiling in the review mirror at him. Eli got in the front seat and bucked in and I patted his shoulder as I turned around to reverse the car.
"I have to get home. I have chores." Demetri said. I nodded, "I got a CPS meeting anyways. Eli you coming with me or want me to drop you off at home?"
He shrugged lightly "I don't know sage." I smiled, "you come with me and we'll go get lunch after, sound good?" Eli smiled a tad and nodded.
"I want lunch." Demetri said.
"No." I said as I drove To the direction of Demetris house.
Me, Eli and Demetri had been friends since the beginning of highschool when I got stuck in detention with them two, I was a sophomore and they were freshman's. Demetri had talked back to some teacher, I had got caught skipping class and Eli well, I think he kinda followed Demetri into there.
They were.. weird kids I wasn't going to lie. A bunch of nerds. But honestly I wouldn't trade a second with them for anyone on this earth. I would trade Demetri for Eli though.
