"Sorry his late traffic was too much" I apologise to Damien's teacher. She just nods her head and takes Damien with her. I turn and go to where the audience are seated.
Today is the final day where only three competitors are going to win this great opportunity. Not just because Damien is my younger brother I know for sure he'll win this.
Finally finding the perfect spot I sit down and listen to the woman talking. Playing with my phone due to the boredom I stare at it. Honestly I'm actually waiting for him to call. I'm waiting for him to maybe send a text message or even anything for as long as Its from him.
I haven't been myself and it gets difficult everyday. Concentrating is the biggest problem cause everything around me reminds me of him. Its like my whole body is here yet my soul is somewhere else.
Its grieving but on its own. Damien keeps on asking about his whereabouts that sometimes I have to scold at him which I feel bad for. "Hey. Sorry I'm late. What did I miss" Kevin comes and distracts my thoughts.
I wipe my tear and look at him. "Nothing it just started" I say smiling. We sit in silence just with the people behind and in front of us greeting Kevin. Nothing has changed about him. But once a famous man always a famous one.
"We present to you our young artists and they paintings" the MC says and we give them a round of applause as they make they way onto the stage.
"Now going on to the 3rd position....." she starts after talking for half an hour things non of us care about.
"Oh please God let this be true" I say softly. Kevin hears me and holds my hand.
"I know he'll make it. Trust me" he says giving my hand a light kiss. I just nod and look at Damien. I'm sure he is nervous just by the look on his face. This is every child's dream.
"Richard Riverdale" she says and everyone starts clapping. I can feel my intestines turn by the moment. The young boy goes and gets his award and takes a picture with the owner of the company.
He then starts explaining what his painting is all about.
"The second position goes to....." she says after the young boy takes a seat.
"Damien Morth" she says and I stand up clapping my hands with tears in my eyes. I knew it. He deserves everything that's coming his way.
This is the best news I heard this week. He goes there and gets his award and the picture.
"My art was inspired by my sister. She said that in life the ones we think are good are the bad ones and the ones that we think are bad are good for us" he says and I clap one more time for him as he goes and sits down with the other kids.
I can't believe he remember what I had said that day. I never even knew what I was saying but he did. He made sure to understand every bit of information I told him.
"See I told you" Kevin says wiping the tears and I just smile. They announce the first position and it's a girl. It doesn't matter to me as long as he got something I'm more then proud.
Finally the whole thing ends and we walking out to the parking lot. "I need the bathroom" Damien says and I take his award and certificate while he runs to the bathroom.
"Your little brother is really talented you know" Kevin says when we stop by my car. I just shrug my shoulders and we laugh.
"I guess so" I say putting the things inside the car.
"So what you going to do now? For the winter break I mean" He asks me putting his hands in his pocket and rocking back and forth on his shoe heel.
