Unexpected

Chapter 6.

The soft scent of marple syrup and hot cocoa woke me up as my mouth watered. I left my bed and followed the scent that drawed me to it. As per usual Jimin had beat me to the dining table, he smiled at me sheepishly as he swallowed the last of the pancakes that granny had made for us having her do some more for me. It always upset that Jimin was that selfish but granny always told me to let go and not dwell over little things. I joined Jimin as I ate my breakfast. Once we were done with breakfast and the dishes, grandma had us read books before we could go to the playground.

I returned from school pretty down, today I had had an argument with my classmates ; they called me a know-it-all for topping in all subjects and being the teachers' favorite. I found alot of letters with alot of words whose meanings I had to look in the dictionnary and it wasn't nice. Once home I did my best to hide my tears and sadness from grandma but it was grandma we were talking about, nobody could hide anything from her. She was fast to notice my state but she didn't say anything until night time when she took Jimin to bed and asked me to stay back. She scolded me for keeping such an issue from her but she equally consoled and advised me. "You are a brilliant little kid and you ought to know that people will loathe you for that", she had said. " Learn humility and stay true to yourself no matter what. Don't let them take your star down so easily. Toughen up kid."
With that she had sent me to bed and from that day, I never let anyone take me down or at least I tried.

Grandma gave me wine for the first time after my first heartbreak. His name was Damian, we had dated for a year and the bastard had cheated on me. Upon confronting him, he claimed that it was my fault for never being around, always studying and working but that's not what broke me. No matter how bad the story ends first love is something that can't be forgotten that easily, that is never entirely forgotten. Thus, when you see your first love speeding in a car after an arguement only to be crushed by a truck at the next junction, then pain is undescribable, you feel like there's something that had died within you and because it always gets worst, you will bare the pain and humiliation of his beloved taking you responsible eventhough it wasn't your fault. Grandma and mother had to accompany to his burials, they were with me the entire time and they never let me down.

Students always keep a good memory of graduation ; saying the last emotional goodbyes to their mates, taking pictures with their family members, planning for future opportunuities, forming a family ... I guess that doesn't apply to me. I wasn't very close to my classmates and father, mother and Jimin couldn't make it to my graduation from college. I stood alone for the entire ceremony until she came. I had never been this happy to see her. We didn't take many pictures that day, just a single one actually but it was the most precious picture that I ever had. Later that day, we joined Jimin, father and mother, we had a great feast but I had the impression something was off, grandma seemed pale and she had left her glass untouched. Later that night, I overheard a conversation between her and my parents. Grandma was sick, she had a cancer.

I woke up feeling like I had a hung over but I was sure that I hadn't drunk. I took a look the watch on the nightstand ; it was almost noon, I wondered why granny hadn't woken me up yet, maybe she too had lost track of time afterall she had made it a habit to stare endlessly outside from her sofa. I dizzily made my way to the leaving room and my heart dropped when I didn't see her. I toured  the house a dozen times before the sad truth downed on me. My Grand mother, Elizabeth Williams was dead.
