TW - DEATH OF RELATIVES.

Lilith May Pov:

It had been a few days since the game, nothing had followed with it other than the sin bin I had received, the other girl was given a 3match ban for starting the fight.

My mum told me to ring her when I woke up, and I recently had woken up, so I took a shower and face-timed my mother.

___

Hey mum! How is everyone?

Everyone is fine baby, how are you doing?

I'm okay, hey.. when are you next free?

Well- uh i actually rang you to tell you-

Tell me what?

Your nana.. she has died.. im sorry baby..

oh- uhm.. whens the funeral..?

Next month.

I'll book a flight and come over- i- i- im gonna go.

okay.. i love you baby.

I love you too mum..

___

I can't believe it-

I wasn't there for her in her final moments, I wish she would have told me she was dying, though what use would it be. Would I have been there quick enough?

I sat on the couch in disbelief, though it hadn't fully functioned to me what had happened, my nana? dead.

I cried, my phone rang, but I just simply ignored. I was hurt and upset, it was the same as when my grandad died, the same thing all over again. But this time it was worse I wasn't there for her.

It was like a cycle.

I sat on the couch crying still, lay on the bed cuddling up to my teddy, that my nana and grandad had gotten me, a pink bear to which I named pinkie.

Now, she is the only thing I have left. Suddenly, there was a frantic knock on the door, "Lily! it's Reece, open the door." I wiped my eyes and stood up slowly.

I walked over to the door and grabbed hold of the handle, slowly opening the door, there stood Reece.

"You didn't answer the phone an- are you okay?" He began to ramble on until he noticed I was crying, and I just pathetically nodded my head at him, "Why- Why are you crying?" He asked as he walked into my house closing the door behind himself.

I looked at him with glossy eyes and he looked at me with pure confusion, I've known him for nearly a year and he has never seen me cry with sadness.

I didn't speak and instead just hugged him to which he hugged back and moved his hand up and down my back stroking it.

Whilst we were still hugging he asked, "What's wrong.. talk to me.."

"It's my nana- She's dead.." I said in between my heartbroken sobs, when my grandad died it wasn't so bad, I was with him and I was obviously still upset rightfully so. But knowing someone you loved died and you couldn't be with them hit.. different.

Reece didn't say anything and instead moved his hand to my hair playing with it as he hugged me, he soothed me by just a meaningful hug.

"I didn't even get to say goodbye.." I whispered.

Reece didn't respond again and just kissed my forehead instead and let go of me, he grabbed my hand and walked over with me to the couch as we sat down together.

I lay my head on his shoulder and sniffled as I was still upset, but it was like no more tears could escape my mouth. No more sobs or wheeps could leave my mouth.

"It's okay.." He whispered as he stroked my hair again playing with it, "How about we put something on Tv? You like The Walking Dead, want to put that on?" He asked trying to somewhat help me.

However, The Walking Dead is just full of dead, sadness, it's seen as a thriller or horror show but I see it as a Tragedy, like this moment for me,

Tragedy.

"Why don't you get changed? We can go to that field and do some kicking and catching?" He said with a weak smile towards me.

I smiled back weakly, "Okay.. let me go change.." I whisper as I slowly stand up and make my way upstairs, I used the railing to get up the stairs.

Kicking and Catching, cute little date I suppose.
