A New Stark

Funreal

My Stepmom, my sister, and I walked down the path in all black dresses
I stood to the left of pepper while morgen stood on the right, pepper had his heart. we sent it down the lake

everyone, all our friends- his friends were their including the boy he'd met back when he was in Tennessee, he's older now than supposedly he met dad. I'm surprised dad actually stopped for a kid, he didn't care for kids till after Morgan

once we sent it down I couldn't bear leaving Morgan's side, she and pepper were the last thing I have of him
"hey princess why don't we go sit up by the house," I asked keeling down her height

"sure...will peter be joining us?" she asked, I looked up to see Peter talking with someone
"no...why would he be joining us, he's just a friend. and I just want it to be us" I smiled looking back at her

she snickers a little "okay. what are you gonna do with all those photos on your wall then?"

"umm I'm thinking of redecorating my room so maybe they'll come down. maybe you should help me when the time comes at least" I smiled grabbing her hand and walking

"alright" she sighed, it sounded like she didn't care anymore. to be all the way honest she probably didn't listen to half of the words I said

we sat on the bench, she laid her head on my shoulder. we just stared at the people standing around till I made eye contact with someone that's kinda hard to forget...

I stared at him for a second waiting for him to break eye contact but he didn't, I had to blink so I looked away.

when I looked back at him I saw him smirking, I roll my eyes and look over at Morgan "sis are you okay?"
"yeah...I'm just thinking of daddy" she sighed

"awe Morgan I know...Things will be different without him, we just have to adjust. like I did with my uncle when he disappeared"

she looked at me with an unsure face "yeah but he came back...daddy's not coming back"

"I know" I sighed kissing her on her head, I  had to hide my sadness, for her. "your friend is staring at us" she whispered in my ear

I looked at her confused, she tilted her head in peters direction. he was not the friend I was hoping it to be but I smiled

"how about I stay here and hang out with you instead-" she cut me off with something unexpected
"instead of facing your problems? shelly I know you don't want to leave my side...but I'll be alright here" she sighed

"no, you're one of my favorite people in the whole world. peter, well he's not my favorite favorite person"

she huffed at me "I'm trying to get rid of you Michelle, you've been hovering for a week now"

I mean I don't think I've been hovering, I have been caring for her a little more now but I don't think I been "hovering"

"I have not been hovering...I just like picking you up from school, and packing your lunch, and cleaning you're-" I stopped because I noticed that I have.

"shelly I know you think you need to baby me but I have mom, please leave me alone for two minutes," she asked, I nodded my head and got up

"fine meanie, but if you need me or need comfort I'll be over there by the water," I said pointing over to the lake,
she nodded as well as I walked away

I stood there looking out, alone. things feel different, they look different.

I always had that empty space before I met my dad, now I feel it again... I feel emptier than ever now I don't have Natasha or dad
