Slow fade

Presley pov:
I finally arrived at my special place and sat down. I stared at the grace in front of me.

" I'm sorry it was my fault and I'm sorry you didn't make it and I did. You were always so happy and kind. Dad was kind but the day you left he changed. He blames me but I was only 13. How could I prevent it. I stopped crying when I turned 16 I don't think I can even make tears anymore."

I sat there and looked at her grave. There was a picture of me and her on it. She was such a loving mother. She would do my hair every morning, make me special breakfasts, and take me to so many pretty places.

She was a good mother but I wish it didn't have to end the way it did. I use to have nightmares about that night. If I hadn't called her that night everything would of been fine.

" I wish I had a sign that you were still here with me."

To some it would seem creepy that I'm sitting in an old graveyard talking to a grace at night but I found it soothing. Everyone had a story of how they died and I found it kind of peaceful when I read a grace that said " loving mother" or " friend to all"

I wonder what mine will say when I die. Out of no where the wind picked up and leaves started circling around her grave.

" you're here momma. You never left me"

I don't think I've smiled a genuine smile since the day before the incident. It felt weird to smile. Eventually the wind stopped and the leaves stopped circling.

" I promise to come and see you more often momma"

I stood up and looked at my phone. I didn't know I had been out here for 2 hours but it felt nice to catch up in some kind of way. Dad would be asleep by now so I decided to head back home.

The alcohol was wearing off so the pain in my leg started to come back. I knew it was going to be a long walk home. The weather was starting to get really bad.

As I was halfway home of course it started to rain. My luck. I kept walking but my clothes were weighing me down. The pain in my leg was getting worse with every step I took.

A black car started to slow down and eventually it stopped next to me. I heard voices trying to talk to me but I've seen those shows I'm not getting in or speaking to them.

" do you need a ride home? It's raining and you don't want to get sick"

I kept walking. I'm not a charity case I don't need help especially from a stranger.

" please let us help you."

" if she doesn't want help then leave her obviously she doesn't care"

Yea listen to that guy leave me alone. As I kept walking the car would slowly drive to keep up with me.

" just leave me alone I'm fine ok! I'm almost home and I don't need your charity ok"

And then the pain in my leg became to much and my leg gave out. That's embarrassing I just fell in from of strangers. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see that bill guy looking at me.

" you're not ok please just let us help you. I'm sorry for what I said earlier I was just frustrated"

I looked at him. Of course it had to be him and I saw the guy that stared at me at the bar in the passenger seat.

" I told you I don't need friends. They disappoint. I don't need anymore of that in my life."

I stood there knowing that I can either accept their help or I can walk another 2 miles In pain. I didn't want to accept their help but it seemed like my only option. I took bills hand and he helped me I to the car.

" after you drop me off no more. I don't want to ever see any of y'all again ok?"

" fine by me" the one with dreads said.

I gave bill the directions to my house and we soon arrived. I refused to let him drive
In the driveway. I don't want them to see the dump I live in and to judge me more than they probably already do.

" alright stop here I can walk the rest of the way. Thanks."

I got out of the car and hurried as fast as I could from that car. I hope I never see them again. I walked towards the front door and unlocked the door. Unfortunately my dad was awake.

" did you have fun you slut? Did you whore around with some boys?"

" no I just went out and now I'm home."

He didn't say anything for once and I headed into my room. I headed into my bathroom and turned my shower on. I took the blade in my hand and glided it across my wrist.

I was satisfied with my work and let the hot water roll off my body. I dried off and put on my sleep clothes. Right when my head hit the pillow I was out.
