Last Chances

How could people do this?

I know this is a mega short chapter but I have a few ideas for the next chapter....

I don't usually let other people see that I am angry, annoyed or even upset. I usually just block out my emotions, and hide them deep inside. But for some reason Peter can see through my hard exterior to see that I am not very happy. As a result he is at the Graveyard with me. His body was still and he never said anything to me in the car. 

We get out of the car. Ms Clarke is there to tell me what happened. 

"I was going round the graveyard to see if everything was okay and I noticed that one in particular was looking rather empty with dead leaves around the stone and I then realised that someone had come down and completely upturned everything that was round about and also put graffiti on the headstone. I am so sorry. I have tried phoning you all day but couldn't get through to you. 

"I honestly can't believe someone would be so heartless and do something like that to someone. That was my one and only sister and now she's gone. I never got to spend ant time at all with her. I don't even remember her I never got to see her in the flesh not even in pictures and some person thinks that it is okay to come along and destroy everything else I have of her. Some people just have no sympathy whatsoever. - Does it make them feel proud? Do they get a sense of happiness from it? Do they think they deserve a medal?"

Peter

A few days later.....

"Peter your mother wants to see you" Emily says with a faint smile 

"Okay thanks for telling me" 

I go down the large staircase into the dining room where my mum is sitting across the table with dad to the right of her. 

"Listen to me Peter, Emily is not like other girls you have been out with. She is different she has a strong exterior but deep inside she does have emotions and she comes from a family that has strict rules, do you understand?"

A few seconds later 

"And if you force her to do anything that she doesn't want to do, I will make sure that you won't ever be able to walk again."

"Yeah of course I do but its not like that with me and her mum."

"I am just saying that for your own benefit son, She is a lovely girl and she deserves the best."

"Yes I know mum."

I can't believe that my mum is actually encouraging me to be with Emily. I mean, she knows what kind go guy I am, and she knows how I treat girls. She must really like her too. Least we have done the whole 'meet the parents' thing already.

Later that night

Emily and I are on the sofa watching Dirty Dancing.

"Are you going to Alastown?"

"No my dad would never let me go away with friends at this age, You have spoke to my dad before right, he is so stubborn."

"I was hoping you would be coming."

"When is it?" Emily questions

"Next weekend!" I say with a smile. 

"Well that is a definite no no. My dad wouldn't let me go in a million years. Sorry" She says with a squint. 

She then got up and went to bed.
