While I'm lonely

Life's not over

Brokenhearted

It's a hurting

Thing to get over

Rose weakly took the blue ink pen and the notebook into her hands. Her time was nearing and she had to write a letter to her baby.

After the letter was written, she laid against her soft pillow and invited God's angels to reclaim her soul.

She could now rest with her husband in eternal peace.

Jehari and Romeo woke up the next morning and went to check on their beloved Rose, only to find her dead.

Jehari didn't want to believe that her lifeline was gone as the funeral home came to take her body.

"No! Please come back Mommy!" Jehari cried out in agony.

Romeo shed tears for her as he cradled her body in his muscular arms.

"She's at peace now princess. She's at peace."

"No! I want my mother back!"

Romeo could only hold her as she tried desperately to fight him. He took each hit like it was nothing and let her wear herself out.

Once she'd fallen back to sleep, he placed her in their bed and called his parents to inform them of the loss.

Romeo

I sat with Jehari at the funeral home as we discussed plans. Her mother was gone and if I could, I would've traded places with Mama.

Jehari gave the man pictures that would go in Mama's obituary and ran her fingers through her hair.

I saw her dying on the inside and just prayed that I would be able to save her.

After making plans, Jehari and I headed back home. Since they didn't have much family, the funeral would be in two days.

I sat in the living room watching the game when my brother texted me.

BigBroMello: Tell Hari that I love her and she in my prayers. Keep ya head up lil brother. I love you.

I didn't respond, instead I just went on Instagram. I didn't really post a lot, but I decided to dedicate something to Mama.

Montana_Romeo: Today the world lost an amazing person but Heaven gained a wonderful angel. I just talked to her yesterday, and I woke up this morning to find her gone. My baby going through it, but I'll be there for her. RIH Mama Rose. We love you. #FxckCancer

I wiped my face and turned off my phone before going to lay down with Jehari. I kissed her forehead and held her close.

Jehari

I couldn't even look at my mother's body. It hurt too much to know that I had to bury her.

I know she's at peace and doesn't have to suffer anymore, but what about me? I need her.

Why did God have to take my mother?

She did no wrong and she raised me right. So why? Why?

I know it's not good to question Him. I just want to know why my mama was taken from me.

Now I'm lonely as ever with no one. Cause who's to say that Romeo won't up and leave me? Exactly. I'm alone.

Brokenhearted.

I really hate writing funeral scenes so this is what I came up with. One more chapter for the night after this.
