Me and Melly pulled up to the graveyard. My breaths were getting heavier.
"You sure you wanna do it today?" Melly asked rubbing over my hand.
"Yes." I said.
He parked the car.
"I'm coming witchu or staying?" He asked.
"Stay. Just point me to where it is." I said unbuckling my seatbeat.
"See the long one with the blue flowers along each side?" He said pointing.
"Yeah. Okay I'll be back." I said.
"Ight. Lemme know if you need me." He said.
I nodded and he reached over me to open my door.
"Really Melly?" I asked laughing.
"My grandma would beat my ass if i didn't." He said laughing.
I rolled my eyes and got out the car. I closed the door and walked towards the grave.
I approached it and it felt surreal.
I stood here staring at his grave as the wind brushed against my face.
"Tremani Mekhi Harris. Loving son, brother, and friend." I read aloud.
All of a sudden i dropped to my knees and broke down.
It wasn't always just me and Melly. It was me, Melly, and tremani. It was always just us 3.
We met in 3rd grade and was inseparable from then on. You never saw one of us without the other.
We were so close, my mama and grandma even used to let them spend the night with us. They was my family. They loved me and i loved them.
When i first got locked up, i talked to both Mani and Melly everyday. They kept me sane for 2 years.
That was until October 22, two years ago. My grandma called me. She told me Mani was dead. Killed. That's why Melly got locked up. He was with mani when he died.
Melly killed the dudes who did it but he got out from claiming self defense.
He was locked up for 8 months. I lost Mani and Melly at the same time.
I was so lost and hurt.
I actually stopped talking and accepting visitations from my grandma for a while. I had blamed her for telling me. She told me the news that broke my heart and i blamed her.
I eventually let it go and had to heal, especially since it wasn't fair to her.
I never got to say goodbye to mani tho and it fuck with me everyday.
"Mani I'm sorry i wasn't here! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry mani! I love you so much! You didn't deserve this! I should've been here!" I said sobbing loudly.
