Burdens

Lonely

Kate's POV
I wake up every morning, knowing that I have to go to school. I never want to, but I do. I do the same routine everyday. I wish I had someone to change that.

(School)

"Hey Merissa, I've been texting you all all night last night. Where were you I was in serious danger."

"Wait what. What happened!"

"I was babysitting my annoying neighbor and we were getting robbed when we were in the house. But then I found a vase in the pantry(weird) and I went out of the pantry and smashed the burglar in the head. Then we just called the cops and went over to my house until her mom got home."

"Wow. That's, interesting. Did you see the person who did it?"

"No it happend to fast but I don't want to. Let's get to our locker I have a great feeling about today."
I wonder if he's here today. Why am I crushing on him, he's older than me so it would never work. Oh dang it, he's not here.

"Hello class I'll be your substitute today", (I dont think you want to know about school so I'm just going to skip when she comes home from school).

(At home)

"Mom I'm home,"said Kate," hello mom!"

"Yes honey. What is it Kate?"

"What's wrong mom you look like you've been crying."

"Kate, I don't know how to tell you this but you grandfather had a heart attack while you were in school and he didnt make it. Hes dead."

I stood there, frozen. I didnt really know my grandfather or even had a special connection with him but I still loved him. I really only met him once.

"Ok."

I didnt know what to say. I couldn't comfort my mom because it wouldn't help.

---------------------------------------------
She past aunt crystal on the way to her bedroom exchanging sad looks to eachother. She couldn't help her aunt to even though she did have a special connection with her; but she left her and her mom to deal with it.

My grandfather is dead

Oh Kate I'm so sorry what happened?

Well he had a heart attack and didnt make it in the hospital. I know I didn't know him really but you still get that feeling. Do you know what I'm talking about Merissa?

Yea, but probably not as much as you.

I'm going to go take a walk.

Ok. I'm sorry again.

She got her jacket and headed out the door leaving her phone behind. She needed to be a lone without any distractions.

Is this how the rest of my family is going to die? By the end of my 20's I'm going to be lonely. All alone with no one to help me with my life. I know I have people that would never leave me if they had a choice, but they don't. That's the problem, they never do.

"Oops I'm sorry,"said Kate," oh hi Matt."

"Hey Kate I didn't know that you lived on this street."

"I don't I've just been walking for a really long time(lie)I saw that you weren't in class today are you ok."

"Yea just a stomach ache but I decided to walk it off and I think it's working."

They stood there for about 2 minutes with an awkward silence.

"Well I guess I should be heading home it's getting late."

"Yea well you should text me sometime, you know talk more."

He handed her his number while she was trying to hide that she was blushing.

"Ok see yea."

They walked off in seperate directions.

I've been waiting so long for that😃☺️.
