Riley's P.O.V
Right now is a hard time for James. One week ago is father got into a car accident. Even if he was brought very quickly to the hospital it wasn't enough. He died in the following hours. Today is his funeral and I'm rejoining James for the reunion after the burial.
I was wearing a black dress that was above my knee. I did a casual makeup for the occasion. I did know why but getting ready for this occasion was kinda odd. I wasn't feeling like it.
I was right now at James's house and was making my way to James' room. James had already texted me that he would wait me in his room. When I enter his room, I see James sitting on his bed looking at the ground. He is wearing a white chemise covered by a black tuxedo. Usually, I would have found James so irresistible dressed like this... but there is something missing. His smile. Something I found so beautiful about James was this goofy smile he had that could make me feel happy no matter what. But right now, his smile is faded. And I understand why.
Losing a parent most be so hard. I don't know how I will survive when one of my parents will past away. I remember when I was young and I would cry for a week after the death of one of my animals. But I remember Emily being there for me no matter what. I really hope that when I'll lose one of my parents James will be there by my side. Trying to help me going through this. Like I'm trying to do with James right now.
Riley: Hey ...
James looks up at me and faded a smile.
Riley: Why don't you come downstairs? I saw some of your aunts looking for you.
He raises his shoulders. I don't know why but James is the type of person to withdraw on himself when he is sad. He always wants everybody to see him as this strong person that he is not really. I think that everyone in this world is vulnerable at some point in their life. But James never wanted to show his feelings to everyone. Whenever he was sad, he would go in his own bubble and don't talk to anybody. Which is really not like James. He would always talk to everyone and make some joke. That's why I like about James
Later that day
Everyone is now gone. James and I were now going back into his room to have some time alone. I decided to stay for the night to not let James alone. Nobody should be alone at a time like this.
James let himself fall on his bed.
James: Ohh... It was about time that they all went home.
Riley: I think it really help your mom to have all this people around her.
James: How could having to receive everyone could help her?
Riley: Well it's distracting her. Cooking, having all these person around help her not to think about it. And I'm pretty sure she is so exsouting right now that when she will go to bed she will fall right up to sleep and not cry by thinking about her lost.
James: If you see it that way.
Riley: You how do you feel?
James: Like someone who just lost his father.
Riley: There's some that will be happy to loose there father.
James: Nobody is happy to lose their father.
There was a silence and a really not comfortable one.
Riley: I think I know something that will help you.
I go downstairs into the kitchen. I took some cookies and a glass of milk. I don't know if this will really works but I hope that it will at least cheer him up. I go back into his room and I can tell that James is really confused why I have cookies in my arm.
James: Cookies? That's your solution?
Riley: It help me.
James : With what?
Riley: When I'm sad. Like when we broke up and think I could ate one box a day.
I could tell that remembering our break up didn't help him.
Riley: So you want one?
James: No, I don't need those. You're the only thing I need right now.
