I am really depressed right now and I wrote this to relive some of the pain and by the way everyone is younger in this story
Readers POV
I'm at my best friends house who's name is Honey lemon, she greeted me with a warm smile and let me inside. After about a few hours I get a phone call from someone from California "sorry honey gotta take this" I say to her. She nods and let's me go to a different room to talk on the phone, I take a closer look at my phone and see that it's a unknown number, but I answer it anyway.
Me - hello
??? - is this ______ ________
Me - this is she, who is this
??? - this is Lucy barns, I have some bad news
Me - ok, what is it
Lucy - your older brother, Christopher got in a motorcycle accident
Me - is he alright
Lucy - I'm so sorry ma'am, but he died on impact
Me - when did this happen Lucy
Lucy - it happened just 20 minutes ago
Me - thank you for informing me
Lucy - your sister in law wants you to come for his funeral
Me - ok, when is it
Lucy - the funeral she planned will be in 2 weeks on Saturday
Me - ok I'll be there, again thanks for the info
Lucy - I'm sorry for your loss
Me - good bye
Lucy - good bye ma'am
As soon as I ended the call, I held in my sobs when I walked out of the room honey saw me and gasped "______ what's wrong" she asked me but I ignored her, got my bag and ran out her door. I ran, ran and ran even though it's raining that didn't stop me from going, I go to my house and lock the door once I'm inside. I broke down into sobs and tears by the time I was done crying it was around 10:35 pm, I got up and took a shower to try and stop myself from crying but it didn't work, I just kept bawling. After that I got dressed into my PJ's and went to bed crying myself to sleep.
(The next day at 10:35 am)
The gang's POV
"What do you mean she just ran out your house" Tadashi asked honey "that's just it, I saw her with a pained expression and she ran out the house after she got a call from someone" she tells them "maybe we should check on her" Gogo suggested "well it's about 11:00 in the morning so might as well" Fred said agreeing with her "well let's go" Hiro said everyone nods and starts to leave but Aunt Cass stopped them all "guys she might just wants to be alone" she says but they shake their heads "sorry Aunt Cass but we need to see her" Wasabi told her. They left to her house and once they got there they heard crying coming from the inside, Tadashi pulls out his key for her house and tries to unlock the door but it won't open. "Weird it always unlocks" Tadashi said to the gang, Gogo got out a hair pin from honeys hair and picked the lock this time it opened "______ are you in here" Hiro's asks her but to only get a shout "GO AWAY GUYS, SHE IS NOT IN THE MOOD" they get scared from your brothers yelling. They see you coming down the steps with blood shot eyes, and tear marks on your face.
Readers POV
I looked at my boyfriend and Hiro and saw images of Chris reflecting on their faces because they look almost exactly like him but he had Hazel eyes and they have brown. I clutch my head and whip my hand at them to get them away, but Hiro just coming closer to me. I ran up the stairs and locked my room door, I sat leaning on the door crying again "babe please what's wrong" I hear his voice say to me but I don't answer him and I just kept crying. I hear their foot steps leave my door way and I get dressed in a white tank top with some jeans and go down the stairs bare foot not caring if I get cold. Once I'm down there I get hugged by a tall person, I don't even know who it is but I just pushed them off of me to just keep walking to my brothers bedroom they were about to follow me but I gave them a glare and they sat back down.
I knocked on his door and he answered "yeah" "Dale I need to tell you something important, it has to deal with Chris" I tell him and he immediately opens the door to reveal his 17 year old self looking at my 15 year old body broken down "sis what's the matter, you came home crying last night and didn't tell me anything, are you feeling bad about something" he asks concerned "I got a call last night from California, and I found out that he died in a motorcycle accident" I tell him with tears in my eyes, I hear him gasp quietly and I feel his strong arms wrap around me then I start to cry again in his bare chest "shh shh I know it hurts shh shh your ok, it's alright I'm here little sis" he says trying to soothe me down.
He sees my friends in the living room while he's guiding me to the living room "leave right now, I don't care if you want to know if she's ok, but leave this house and I will tell you all later" I hear him tell them mad. They all leave and I break down again, he sets me down on a chair while he's cradling my small figure rocking back and forth slowly as I'm on his lap "I can't lose another person in my life big D" I tell him sadly "I know sis, but he would want us to be strong right along with mom and dad" he says to me silently crying with me "the funeral is in 2 weeks on Saturday and Jacqueline already booked us a flight" I said crying still he sighs and holds me tighter "ok and I'll be right there next to you" he tells me.
I nod and we both cry in each other's arms for a few hours then we get some ice cream so we can eat it while we're watching some good TV, I got chocolate and he got vanilla flavored as always. We try to smile but nothing is working so I suggested that we bring our boyfriend and girlfriend over to talk but neither of us has the courage to call the them. We felt so alone with out our older brother, he had Ian as his son and wanted a baby girl but when he died our sister in law found out she was pregnant on that day so that made us feel even worse.
2 weeks later
We are on the plane heading to the funeral, once we landed Dale rented a car so we can drive to their house. We arrived there and we get hugged by our older sister in law who's now 20 years old, we hug her back then we all let go to see her baby boy crawling around on the floor, I pick him up and held him to my chest as we went back to Jacqueline's SUV to drive to the memorial service at the cemetery. I saw his dead body, handed Ian to my sister and I started to cry hard in my brothers arms, he never let go of me during the entire thing. They shot 28 bullets into the air in his honor since he was in the marines, we each got to keep 7 bullets to remember him. We also each got a American flag to bring home, as we were flying home I held the flag close to me as my brother held his flag while holding me as well.
When we got back to San Francisco/Tokyo we didn't go to SFIT for 2 months and we told the professor's what happened and they let us stay home as long as we needed to. Dale called his girlfriend over and they talked in his room as she was leaving she gave me a hug and a small frown then left "Dale can we go back to school tomorrow" I asked him, he nodded but said "we have to get the same schedules though" I hug him sadly and he hugged me back "come on let's get some sleep" he tells me nicely and lead me up to my room. He left to go into his bedroom to change while I changed in mine, he came back to my room after I was done and we slept in his room together.
The next morning we woke up around 5 I got in the shower while he made breakfast, after my shower I changed in to a light green summer dress with matching flats, curled my hair a little and put it up in a ponytail and finally but on some mascara and light red lip gloss so I looked a lot better. After he showered and we ate breakfast,I got in my brothers car which is a blue truck, he turned on some music that we liked, I hummed along while he quietly sang. Once we got to school he parked the truck into the parking lot and sighed as he took out the truck's keys.
