The Sexton House - Harry Styles * COMPLETED*

32.

After standing in the kitchen with my thoughts lingering on, Anna an I head outside to meet Charlie. I spot the old man by the shed. He is messing with what looks to be a cell phone.

"Harry, there you are! I need your help." He says, motioning me over.

"What do you need help with?" He looks down at the phone then back up to me, "well I just got this new phone thing and I'm not really sure how to use it." He laughs, handing me over the device. It seems he has bought an iPhone 6 plus I laugh to myself at the size of the phone and why a man his age would want such a nice phone.

"What type of phone did you have before this?"

"Some little flip phone, nothing fancy, but it got the job done." I nod my head, realizing he is probably clueless as how to work his new phone. I showed him how to call and text, (he didn't know what texting was.) After explaining how he could check the weather and date I handed the phone back to him and said, "now do you want to download any apps?" He looked at me like I was crazy.

"What the hell is an 'app'?" He ask while looking between his new phone and I. I laugh yet again before trying to explain this foreign thing to him.

After what seems like hours of explaining we finally get to work. He sends me off to take the dead/colorless arrangements off of the tombstones. I start at the front of the cemetery where I begin to throw the old ones away. It takes me about a hour to make it near the back of the graveyard. I pass by Daniel's stone. I stop by it and dust the dead grass off of it.

After staring at the stone I turn towards the woods away from the house. I leave the bag of arrangements sitting beside Daniels grave. I walk to the edge of the tree line and squint into the dark forest, attempting to see inside. I proceed into the woods, not afraid of what might be lurking ahead of me. Branches snap underneath my feet as I make my way through the wooden area. My thoughts seem to find their way back to Anna and how she said she knew someone buried in the cemetery. The only other person with the last name 'Sexton' buried in the graveyard is, Daniel. Maybe he is her cousin, I'm not really sure.

I continue maneuvering through the woods, not really  sure what I'm looking for, hoping to fine something interesting, After awhile of walking and pushing back branches the thought hits me that I might not be able to find my way back out of here. I brush off the thought and continue my journey in the woods. Within just a few minutes of walking longer I begin to hear the sound of running water. I speed up my walking pace and jog in the direction of the sound of water. I break through the heavy trees and end up in a open area. the area is in the shape of a circle with trees lining the circle. In the middle of the clearing sits a small Crystal clear pool with a small waterfall coming off of the side of a rocky area behind the pool of water. i walk towards the water and stand near the edge, looking down at what looks to be endless amount of water. I dip my feet into the water to be surprised with a lukewarm substance. After checking out the place I go over to the waterfall and climb the rock in hopes of seeing which way home is. Thankfully when I reach the top I spot which way I need to be heading in.

After walking for what seemed like miles, ( but was only like twenty minutes.) I make it back to the back of the cemetery. I grab the bag of dead flowers and start making my way back to the house. On the way to the shed, I toss the bag into the garbage can and bid Charlie goodbye.

once in the house I wait for Anna, excited to tell her about my new discovery.

I KNOW ITS BEEN FOREVER SINCE I UPDATED, BUT IVE HAD A LOT GOING ON. I promise I will try to update more often, it's just I am currently moving and my computer is on the floor unplugged and my desk is at the other house, so it's really hard to write but I promise I will start writing more I just need to get back into the routine of writing again. I also have a couple ideas for more stories (don't count on me posting them anytime soon lol) but I will try to do better and write more!
