"It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting it's sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessons, but it is never gone."

".... Now.. What happened..? What do you mean.. They're dead..?".  I shake my head, looking straight ahead.     " You know what.? I don't even want to know, anymore. But, thank you for telling me... In front of the entire class... ". I shrug. I feel stares coming from the entire room. I stare straight ahead, gluing my eyes to the white board.

" Cedes.... Cedes.... Mercedes? ". I hear all the Brown twins saying my name.. It's like, I can't even answer them at the moment. My mind just shut down. I can't feel anything. My whole body is numb. It was like this up until the bell rang for us to leave.... But...

What will I do now?

I quickly get out my seat and rush out that God forsaken classroom. As I rush through the crowd, I finally make it outside. Thankfully, I left before anyone could stop me.

Why aren't I crying?

Why aren't I livid right now?

Why am I feeling... So... Content..?

Looking nowhere but forward,I walk. Not sure where I'm going, but at least I know I'm going to get there...

My feet finally stop in front of the last place I would want to be. But.. Nothing is there but ashes... And.. My Angel I drew on my bedroom wall years ago. Out of all this rubble, this is the only item that survives. But, now that I think about it... It's the one thing that I believe.. Actually, saved me.

I pick up my ringing phone for reasons unknown.

" Hellloooo??". I sing.

"Hey, this Breezy."

"Oh, hey Christopher. What you up to?"

"Nothing.. Just thinking about you.". I chuckle at the way he says this.

" Why? I'm fine, really. ".

" Eh. Whatever you say. But, aye. What you doing?"

"Nothing, just walking."

"Hmm.. You sure your not in front of that damn house?" Before I had a chance to answer, another voice booms out the speaker.

"Damn, nigga quit FLIRTING. ANYWAYS, hey Cedes!!" Smirking, I reply simply.

"Hey, Chris!"

"Can you hurry up and bring yo ass to this house? Mama said you can just move in with us. So, chill."   Sighing, I agree after minutes of argument goes by. But, at the same time..  I'm still confused.






I love my parents dearly.

Yet, I feel nothing when their gone for good.

I personally didn't like this chapter, honestly. I just really needed to update this. I'm like, REALLY, sleepy tired so this chapter was rushed in order for me to get that sleep in. This was @broadwaii here, and  good morning night.
