Chapter 63

"Mr. Brock, I have my boys clearing the news feed so everything will be deleted out soon. It's up to you all completely but people are gonna want to know the truth. They won't stop bothering until they know" he said.

"It will be announced to the public after the funeral that I need to start planning. So do you have any suggestions as to what I can do?" I asked.

"I'll have the funeral home call you in a couple hours. Funds aren't too bad and the service is excellent" he said and I nodded.

"Thank you Sheriff" I said.

"No, thank you. I'll let them know your number" he said as he handed me his phone.

I typed in my number and put my name down before handing it back.

"And thank you for answering those questions for me. I know this is going to be really tough on you all but I promise it will get a little better with time and patience" he told Gunnar before speaking to all of the kids.

He left the house and I looked at them all.

"You guys want breakfast?" I asked.

"Yeah" they all said besides Gunnar who just went upstairs.

"I'll make breakfast, go talk to him" Sam grabbed my shoulder and I nodded.

I went upstairs to Gunnar's bedroom door that was now shut and knocked.

"Can I come in?" I asked.

With no answer, I opened the door.

Gunnar had his back turned to me and I could tell he was crying by his body movement.

I shut the door behind me and walked over, sitting on his bed.

"Come here" I said. He turned over and squeezed me as he cried on me.

"I miss mom" he said.

"I know, I do too, we all do. I don't know why she did what she did, help was available. But I know you saw a lot" I said.

"It was so scary. She was just lifeless" he said.

"And twitching a little bit" he added.

He cried harder and I just laid my hand on his head, staring straight forward.

"You weren't supposed to see that, your 13. You shouldn't have had found her" I said, full of guilt.

"Dad, it's not your fault. Everything just became a little too much" he said.

"But I should have went up there to ask about the damn food, not you" I said.

"You were taking care of her, I'll be okay. It's not easy but ill figure it out" he said.

"We can go visit someone, talk to them to try and help you out" I said and he nodded.

"Are you sure you don't want anything?" I asked.

"Let's go, I need to eat" he said and I nodded before kissing his head.

"I'll be down in a sec" I said and we both walked out of his room but I went to ours instead.

I went to the closet and grabbed a hoodie when I saw the last Xplr hoodie we designed in the closet.

Y/n helped design it and she still had it, after these last 7 or 8 years. It was still in good shape and I remembered she got it bigger so it was comfy for her.

Putting my hoodie back, I grabbed it and put it on.

I went downstairs and when Sam saw me, he smiled.
