A Dare To Date A Hoodie Girl

Chapter twenty six.

It was Saturday morning and I had to go to Texas. I had boarded the plane of 4:00am. I woke up very early so that I can't miss the plane and I didn't want to be late. Friday evening Kyne told me he won't be in New York and I also told him I won't be there. But no one knew who the other was going.

Dad: morning daughter.

Morning.

Dad: are you going there?

Yes. Am just preparing myself to go.

Dad: make sure You're not late and be strong. Be there for me.

It would have been good if you were here.

Dad: let me care for the sick to prevent them from dying. They don't want to join your mama and sister.

(This made me want to cry)

No prob.

Dad: remember am proud of you. Your mom and sis would be happy to see you now. Stay strong for me okay.

I just texted a yes and placed my phone in my hoodie and took a cab to the airport so that I can get to the little hell.

When I reached to my old home, no one was living there so I thought they moved since my dad told me that the house will be rent. Thanks to the spare key.
It hasn't changed. I looked at everything around until I heard my phone ringing. It was unknown number.

"Hello," a man's voice said.

"Yes, Elizabeth talking," I said.
"The ceremony has started. You can come if you're in Texas," the man said and hung up.

I then closed the house and took a cab to the avenue. I found it half started. A tall man I thought was the MC was giving a speech.

"We would like to get Mrs Garry's daughter and Isabella's twin to come here and put some flowers on their stones as a sign of respect and remembering them," the man said as I tried to pass through the crowd.

But screw the popular life. If only my mom wasn't some popular woman, I would be good coming here to visit alone, honor them alone. Why would I want to honor them with some people who treated me like shit?

When I reached in front I took the flowers they had prepared for me. And when I looked at the front seats, I saw someone I knew.

"Let me think he's not the one! Let me be dreaming or hallucinating!" I told myself but of course I wasn't dreaming.

"Elizabeth?" the man asked and I nodded. He gave me the flowers. After putting them there he then handed me the microphone and told me to say something.

"If only I was dreaming," I said and everyone looked at me. I can see pity, sadness and other emotions on their faces but I don't care. Good thing they can't see my face, how it screamed disgust.

"Am sorry that am late, but I would like to thank everyone who is here. I know many people have no hearts to loves the people they should love, many people act like they don't care, and many know how the people in their life are precious when they are gone. But I knew before they went... I just can't believe they're gone even if it had been 5 years," I was crying. A lot. I tried not to but I can't. I just can't say anymore so I gave back the microphone.

I then ran straight through the crowd. I could feel all their eyes on me. Lucky me when I got to the road there was a cab passing by so I stopped it.

"Beth," someone called behind me. I knew it was Kyne but I entered and told the man to drive. I told him the address to our house (where I was before coming to the ceremony avenue) so he drove off without asking me more questions since I was crying. I just prayed that they didn't think that I was a softie, a crybaby, I just don't want to give that same image that made me depressed, that made me wear the fucking hoodie.
