Lucy's P.O.V
I knocked out on David's door. His mom, Gloria answered it. "Oh, Lucy! We need you!" She said as she yanked me in the house. "David just now found out that his grandfather was dead, and he's not taking it well."

She dragged me up the stairs and knocked on David's door. "GO AWAY!" He yelled. Gloria looked at me, and told me to talk to him. I nodded.

"Davie, can I come in?" I said. He said nothing. I open the door. He was laying on his bed, which was covered in tissues. He looked at me as I closed the door. "Hey." I said. David turned to me and opened his arms. I ran over to his bed and hugged him.

He started sobbing. "It's not fair, Lucy! He was supposed to watch me get married, and graduate! And he was supposed to be the great grandfather to my children!" He shouted through his sobs.

I rubbed his back. "He still will." I said. "He's not really gone."

David leaned up and planted his face on a pillow. "That's what everyone says! They tell
Me that he's not really gone! But he is gone. Lucy he's DEAD!"

He cried louder and harder. I stood up, and walked towards his piano. I looked up some notes on my phone and began playing, Wiz Khalifa's 'See You Again'

David sat up and looked at me. "Lucy no. I'm not in the mood for a sing-along right now!"

"It's been a long day without you my friend, and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again." I paused and waited for him to join me.

"Lucy." He sighed.

He sat next to me on the piano stool. "We've come a long way, from where we began, oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again." He sang, smiling. David wiped his nose and laughed.

We sang the whole song, together. When we were finished, he hugged me. Seth, Molly, some of Molly's friends, and David's parents were standing by the door. They clapped, and Gloria wiped some tears out of her eyes. David ran over to them and hugged them.

"That was amazing. I think David should sing at grandpa's funeral." Molly said. David shook his head and sat on his bed. I stood up.

"I'd be a mess, I can't do it!" David said. I sat next to him and rubbed his shoulder.

"Yes you can!" I smiled at him. "And if you need help just look at me and I'll help you finish."

"Okay." David said, sniffing. Everyone cheered and hugged him. I joined in. Gloria ordered Chinese food and Molly rented some movies to make David feel better.

David, Molly, her friends and I went to the basement to eat and watch the movies. It was 11:32 P.M when we had finished watching all of the movies Molly had rented.

David had fallen asleep. So I decided to leave. "Bye Molly! I had fun! Oh and it was nice meeting you Lela, and Sydney!" I waved bye to Molly and her friends. I walked up the stairs only to see my moms, waiting for me. "Hey. Did you come here to pick me up?"

"He wants to talk to you." Mama Val handed me her phone. I answered it.

It was my dad. I made the conversation quick. I didn't want to talk to Link, he sounded like a complete dork! I'm not looking forward to staying with him for the summer.

As soon as I got home, my moms went to sleep but I stayed up, watching YouTube videos. I loved watching Joey Graceffa, he always made my laugh when I was sad.

It was 12:13. I should probably go to sleep...

My cat, Mr. Snugglepuff laid next to me in bed. I paused the video and sat my phone on my bedside table. I grabbed Mr. Snugglepuff and kissed his head. He was a big cat, with white fur. He was really old, but he was also one of my best friends. I don't know what I would do without him.
