"Bye Chleo." I shouted as I made my way to the flower shop.
"Bye Hope. See you later." She shouted back as she stepped into her brothers car.
Walking down the street, I looked around at the different kids. Some where walking in groups or alone.
I wonder if I'll ever be in a group.

Pushing open the door, I smiled as the bell rung above me.
"Ah. Look at you. Growing each time. She would have loved to watch you grow."
Looking at the ground and then back at her, I smiled. "Thank Fleur. I know she would."
Handing me the flowers, I walked out the shop. On this day, Fleur gave me the flowers for free. She knew how much this meant, and one day a year, I got them for free.

Walking on, I felt the breeze send my hair flying. Pulling up my hoody, I turned a corner and swung open the gate. Making my way over to the grave I wanted, I knelt down and placed the flowers in a pot I'd left last year.
Clara Anders
Beloved mother and wife
1963 - 2012
It's been three years since my mum died, leaving my brother and father with me. The three of us got along well. But then, there's never a day that none of us miss her.
"Oh god mum. Why'd you leave? Dad's broken and Jake's rarely happy anymore. I wish you never left. That should have been me, we all know that." Feeling tears roll down my face, I looked over at the flowers and pushed myself off the ground.
Pulling out the photo I kept of her in my wallet, I smiled before placing it back in my pocket with my wallet. Looking at the grave one last time for the year, I turned my back and made my way over to the gate.
Hearing the gate open and close behind me, I shrugged my shoulders and pulled my hood up.
It's probably the wind.

Unlocking the front door, I stepped inside and slipped my shoes off. Making my way over to the living room where I found my brother and father sitting and crying. Rushing over to them, I pulled them into a hug and let them hold me.
We had to stick together.
*Cries silently* Sad moments ;(
