She is his fire. Awakening every part of him that she touches, bur...
"Our Father who art in Heaven hallowed be thy name..." I glance around the grave yard, people I don't recognize mourning for a man I hated all my life. They were like tiny ants dressed in white and I was the thorn among the roses, dressed in full white. Nicholas is next to be sobbing his heart out and I, well can't say I knew the man. Some people were just meant to bring you into this world rather than be your parents. Why white? It was my mother's favorite color. Black symbolises mourning, there was no point wearing black because I was honestly happy that cruel man was gone for good. After Lucas found me, he insisted I stay with him and I didn't argue given the state I was in. I spent days in my room contemplating what I should do, forgive or not to forgive? When I finally got the news that he died, well did the human part in me reek with guilt and regret for not saying "It's okay, I forgive you for murdering my mother out of your drunken, jealousy state. Haha no biggie lol." Yes. But that's mostly because I knew my mother would be disappointed in the decision I had unintentionally already made when I ran out of the hospital, which was to never, ever forgive him. I just couldn't do it after he took away the most important person in my life. When I sat in that room, thinking and thinking, I was reminded of the pain and all the ugly things I had to go through. So why should I forgive him just so that he can feel better about himself and die peacefully? The regret and guilt will be something I'll have to live with and deal with but I didn't mind. I pulled down my Gucci shades as the priest came to a close and said we could view the body. I was only here because Lucas insisted that I should be to "pay my last respects" but honestly I just really wanted to make sure the man was dead. "I'll see you at home." I muttered to Nicholas. He turned to me, his eyes brazen with tears. "You're not going to tell dad one last goodbye? " I smile, "I'll be waiting, when you're done I'll get someone to drive you home. You won't go through this alone but I couldn't care less about 'last goodbyes'. In his eyes, he probably only had one child - you." I pat him on the back and walk away.

"Are you sure you didn't want to see your dad's face?" Lucas glances towards me. We're driving home aka to his mansion. "Nope." I pop the 'p'. He looks at me concerned. "You won't understand Lucas.. you can't miss something that you never had. "
