The day after I found out my dad had passed away I was dismissed to go home. On the way home from the hospital me and my mum were completely silent. We were so in shock we had nothing to talk about. I could tell my mum was struggling to keep her eyes from watering, all I wanted was for this to not be real. As we pulled up in the driveway and the car engine turned off We sit there for a moment before my mum looks at me and her voice cracks a little while saying "we have to be strong for him". As I listen to her say that my face goes blank and I just felt so numb, I had nothing left to cry, my brain felt so jumbled I just didn't know what to say or feel. I reply in a nod and I keep my head low as I step out the car and slam the door behind me.
I unlock the front door of our dark quiet home to see nothing but the cat standing in front of the door waiting patiently for us. As I walk in I chuck my jacket on the ground and pick Archie (the cat) up. I cuddle him for a while. I missed him a lot and cuddling him just made me feel that little bit better. I put the cat down on the sofa and sighed. I run upstairs to my bedroom that was the same as I left it. Clothes all over the floor, messy bed, and a pile of my school study books. I refused to let myself think of school as I move all the books off my desktop chair so I could sit and log into my pc to play some games to take my mind off it.
As my pc loads the first thing I see is my pc background of me and my parents at Christmas when I was younger. I stare at it a little before slamming my head on my desk and bursting into tears. I had no other feeling but sadness and anger, I continued to blame myself for everything that had happened in the past few days.
