MY TEACHER

15

Christian's POV.

It was the day of the fenural and thanks to my father's old girlfriend who put everything together for us.

I pressed on the gas in hopes of making it to the church in time.

I got there and the there's no where for parking.

I have an idea of who all would be there but I never anticipated this much.

I finally parked and walked up to the church, there was a lot of people outside. I know most of them

The body hasn't yet to arrive. I checked the tone and it reads 10:45am.

I saw my mother and my brother sitting at the front row, vivian and her family in the  other front bench on the left side, There's family friends, family, and my niggas.

I walked to the back where they are and sit down not saying a word.

The body finally arrived and my mother and my stepmothers were all creating a scene. Who could cry the hardest I think, My mother took the cake for sure.

The ceremony proceeded and a time came where I couldn't hear anything. Memories started flooding my head of the two of us. I remembered when he used to teach me how to shoot, how he held me when I killed a man for the first time, how he always encouraged me to find a good woman and settle down. What a fucking hypocrite. I almost chuckled at the thought. I never realized I was crying till one of my boys shoulder bumped me.

"You good G" he asked and I nodded wiping my eyes.

The fenural ended and we went to the grave side and buried him. They say death is to celebrate a person's life but I think my father death is a punishment for my endless sins.

Our endless sins. This whole family is fucking cursed.

Mateo held my mother up and the thought of how she didn't even bother to comfort me through a time like this. It's no secret that she has always cared about my brother Mateo more, she didn't even spare me the slightest glance. Sometimes I wonder if she was even my biological mother and that I was lied to. Fucked up but it's true.

I checked the time and its after 5 pm.

I just need to see that one face now.

I was the last one to leave the cemetery.

I had to speak to him alone. While he was still there and not rotten away.

"Father it's me...your son Christian, I always knew you would die but I never anticipated it would be this soon, but you were a great dad, despise your flaws...you taught me infinite lessons in this life and I appreciate it...I'll always love you..you're always in my fucking heart even though most of those people have forgotten about you the moment they reach home..." I chuckled because it was true.

"But I must say...I cannot promise I will carry on your legacy anymore..Mateo will...and I'll try my best to give him as much wisdom as possible just for the sake of you.." I said in conclusion. I wish he would let go of this life and be something else..something more but the boy don't know anything else. Plus he's a mommas boy, anything she said goes.

I got back into my car and I remembered the guys were all meeting up at my father's house to have a get together. I gave them the permission. While the repast was keeping at my mom's house.

I drove away from the cemetery and I called hailey.

"Yes" her voice came out small.

"You still up to spend the night with me" I aksed and though this childish ass hide and seek game was annoying me, I have to remember she's still 18 and there's no way in hell I'mletting her go. Her birthday is next month so I'll definitely keep the date in mind.
