King

We pulled up to the graveyard . Something about it increased my heart rate . I zipped my coat back up as I saw Genesis wrap her scarf back around her neck . She took a deep breath before starting to get out . I got out slowly behind her , walking up behind her . She looked up at the sign of the cemetery . The wind blew her hair as she started to walk in , leaves crackled as we stepped on them .

She stopped , making me bump into her on accident .

"What's wrong?"

She shook her head . "I don't know about this." She said turning around , looking up at me .

"We can leave if you want to but .. it may lift some sort of weight off your shoulders of visiting them especially on this day." I said .

She leaned her head on my chest , looking down at the ground . I rubbed her hair , pulling her face back up . "Okay." She mumbled , closing her eyes and turned back around , proceeding to walk . I followed behind her .

She trailed up to under a tree , stopping . I walked up , standing beside her as she looked at the lined up tombstones .

"This it?" I asked , she nodded.

I stepped back out of her way as she paced in front of them . She turned her head away for a second . She shook her leg as her chest begin to heave up and down . She burst into tears , kneeling down. I went over picked her up as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Why couldn't he listen to me? It was a gut feeling!! Why did she have to cover up for me? Why did they have to go on that business trip?" She ranted .

I wrapped my arms around her neck , rocking her as I looked down at her.

"Calm down Ge." I mumbled . She punched my chest a few times , letting it out before her hands glided across my shoulders , wrapping around my neck .

She sniffled before pressing her cheek against mine , balancing out her breathing . "I'm a good person, right? They would be proud , right? " she asked . I nodded .

"You're an amazing person and they would be overly proud of you. Each and every one of them. " She nodded , pulling me in tighter.

"Why did they have to go ?" She asked before I heard her sniffles increase again .

"Something we all wonder baby." I mumbled . I looked around , seeing the dead trees and cold winds blowing the leaves that were around . Seeing this cemetery differently started flashing into my head until the actual memory flooded back in my head .

I rocked Kassidy as I shut my eyes tightly , feeling tears at the brim of my eyes . At this point , I was starting to tune this preacher out as what he was saying at this point was bullshit to me . My mom actually came as she stood beside me , rubbing my back.

"I'll take her for a while King." She mumbled . I handed her Kassidy , sniffling .

I wiped my eyes as I looked at them lowering the casket and Kelsey's mom crying hysterically . I turned away , holding the bridge of my nose . I looked down at the ground , sniffling again as tears dripped from my nose.
