"She needs time , its not been easy for her for the past 2 years she's been battling with her demons "
"I know doctor Florence but what I really want to know is when will she be her normal self again ?"
"I'm afraid n---"
I zoned out the rest of the conversation from there . I didn't need to know that I'll never be normal again
Its been 2 years since the death of Jack and a year since the death of them .To say I've been all right that's a lie. I've been hell . I barely eat hell I barely breath . No one knows what to do with me anymore , even aunt Heather . I still remember when she came four months back , its like ,I never knew her anymore .
"So how's college mh?"
"I stopped going ."
"Oh, well how was it then , made friends?."
"Apparently."
"So do you guys still talk"
"No"
She sigh's
"Rebecca I know you're going through a hard time but you should communicate with your friends . Your mother wouldn't have appreciated what yo---"
"Their all dead!!!!" I shout frustrated "They left me ,j--" my voice breaks "just like she did."
I look up
Pity is written all over her face
She's sorry?
I know that look
She's sorry!
"Honey I'm so s---"
I cut her off right there
"Save it , I've had enough of your sorry shit .Dad left but he cane back , she left she never came , she never calls. Do I even know if she's alive? Does she care even if she is? No because all of you think I'm an 20 year old capable of doing my own things ."
Silence
Dead silence
Even if a pin drops you can hear it loud and clearly
"Your mother was a loving ca--"
"Was! You know what? Leave and close the door on your way out."
I still remember the way her face fell , the look of defeat.
"I won't be calling anymore." She continues when she gets no response from me "I'm dying "
Well, those are my everyday words now
For all I care
"Greet her in heaven or hell where ever the roads leads you ."
This time I dont wait for her reaction or any response I just walk away

"So I have news I've been meaning to share with you."
Dad starts his conversation during dinner its just the three of us including including Miss Dennis , Kara. I put my cutlery down ,giving him my whole attention .
He looks nervous and she's fidgeting a lot .It really doesn't take a genius to guess where this conversation is going .
"I think I've been alone for a long time now and I think its time for me to move on , you know . On not getting any younger and I dont want to feel lonely my whole life . So--." He looks at me hesitantly
