Alex and Tracy

Tracy III

Tracy woke up and went to the kitchen. She looked through the fridge and found some eggs. She was making eggs, bacon, and fresh squeezed juice. Alex woke up to the smell of bacon. She worked her way to the kitchen and sneaked behind Tracy. She asked for a sample of bacon, and Tracy told her that she had to wait. So Alex stole a piece and ran off. Tracy snickered and shook her head. Alex came back and looked innocent. Tracy laughed and Alex took the chance to steal a kiss too. Tracy gladly returned the kiss. A few hours after, Alex had to go meet her brother, Daniel. She kissed Tracy goodbye and walked out. She got to the cemetery and knelt by her brother's grave and dusted it off. The letters were starting to fade.
Daniel Rivers
Died 2015, November 2
"He lost his battle, but his struggle will live on with us."
Alex pulled out the weeds and cleaned up his grave. After she had done that, she sat by the tombstone and started talking to him. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop you.." Her eyes started welling up with tears and she furiously wiped them away. "I think about it every day..how I was just a few hours late..and..and.." At this point, Alex started choking and she broke down, crying her eyes out. "I'm sorry Daniel. I'm so so sorry.." Alex got up and went to her car. She drove home, and acted like everything was okay.
