Twins for Life

Hi, I'm Ryder Louis Hughes. I'm 8 years old. I am the son of Jesy Nelson and Chris Hughes.
🥺This one made me cry🥺

Ryder's POV: I arrive at the place I most definitely don't wanna be right now. Everyday my pa takes me here. We open the gate and head towards a particular stone that reads:

Rhett Logan Hughes
2012-2018
Died from a gunshot wound to the head, trying to save his twin brother.

"Hey, Rhett. I learnt how to do my 4 times tables. We're having your favourite dinner tonight, I know that curry will always your favourite food. I miss you every single day, big bro. We all miss you." I say towards the grave before breaking down into tears. "I know that you can't  be here in spirit but I hope you'll always be watching me. I've lost my best friend!" My dad breaks down in tears. 2 years ago, I lost my best friend, my partner in crime but more importantly, my older twin brother.
"Come on, son. Let's go and see mum." Dad tells me before we head on home.

Later that night: I'm putting on my pyjamas when I hear the disembodied voice of Rhett, I've been able to talk to him since he passed away, every night I tell him about the day I've had, what I had for dinner etc.
"Ryder, how was school today?" Rhetts voice echoes in my head. I smile and respond to him "It was good, Rhett. You would've loved today's P.E lesson, we played football against the Year 5s." I tell the voice in my head.
"Does everybody still miss me?" He asks me.
"Of course, every day, Adam in the year above asks "Where's Rhett gone?" " I respond to him.
"I always liked Adam, he was cool!" He exclaims. "What did we have for dinner tonight?"
"We had your favourite, Rhett! Curry!" I tell him and I hear him chuckle. "Rhett?" I ask him and I hear "Yeah?"
"What's heaven like?" I ask.
"Imagine what a world would be like without all the nasty people out there, that's what heaven is like, little bro." He explains.
"I can't wait to join you up there, bro." I admit and begin to tear up.
"I can't wait either, lil bro. We're gonna play tag every day, sing songs with all our friends, we'll be able to have fun again" His voice cracking at the end. "I miss you, Ryder more than anything in the whole universe."
"I miss you more, Rhett, every second of every day, of every week, of every month, of every year." I reply.

Jesy's POV: I listen to Ryder's conversation with Rhett every single night reminiscing on his day. I can see tears in his eyes when anyone mentions Rhett's name. The passing has been hard on everyone in the family but especially Chris and Ryder, Ryder for sure the worst. I couldn't imagine the feelings he got 2 years ago at the aftermath of the school shooting that occured at his old school, learning that Rhett died to save him. Chris walks up to me teary eyed, engulfing me in a massive hug. I cry into his shoulder before putting on a brave face and opening my son's bedroom door.

"Hey, sweetheart. You chatting to him?" I ask my son gently.
"Yeah, mum." He replies.
"Could you ask him if Tobias taking care of him still?" Chris asks him. Tobias was our other son whom passed away from a long battle with liver cancer 5 years ago.
"Okay!" He says before asking Rhett the question. "He said that he's watching over him all the time."
"Tell him that mummy and daddy love you no matter what" I tell Ryder who repeats to Rhett. "He says that he loves you more!".

Ryder's POV:
I hear Rhett say "I gotta go, Ryder. Tell mum and dad that I say goodnight. Speak to you lil bro."
I look over to my parents and say "Rhett says night mummy and daddy."
"And goodnight to the both of you" Mum says before kissing my cheek.

(This is emosh)
