Chapter 2

I drag my feet a little more, convincing myself that after this punishing walk home, I could sleep in my bed for as long as I liked. But, sadly this intuition thing ruins everything. I had a feeling that my ordeal wasn’t over yet. Exasperated as I was, I decided to pay no attention to it yet. Just let things happen their own way for once. I was having visions of my grandma. They were really blurry and undecipherable. I thought it must be something and not bothering what it was, I continued the walk home.

I felt like kicking myself in the butt for missing my bus again. All because of stupid Lee. She was busy punching that pervert and by the time I pulled her off him, our buses had started moving and mine was already out and away! I could have killed her but she just shrugged and told me she would accompany me home. I saw her closely and thanks to weird gift that I have, I knew she would pester me all the way. I ignored the tensed and anxious feeling I had in my chest which told me something really tragic was about to happen. I couldn’t figure out what, and I didn’t want Lee to know my distress. I know she was just looking out for me but either punching that scumbag or missing her bus wasn’t going to help. Her parents are really strict and they wouldn’t like her walking all the way home. As it is, she lived really far and I didn’t want her in more trouble.

So I plainly refused and before she could say anything, I just walked away. I am regretting it now. It Is really irritating when you have to walk home and on top of that it starts to rain! I miserably continue getting soaked while hoping that I reach home soon.

A half hour of cursing and complaining to myself like a weirdo, later I am finally home and I realize my intuition was right. I enter to see my mom waiting at the door, her face stained with tears. She tells me my grandmother had had a severe stroke and she is no more. I forget my sleep and all my distress as I realize my sweet and supportive granny was no more.

I quickly went up to my room, watching t while remembering her. My granny had designed it. It has purple walls, which was her favorite color, with a mahogany colored wardrobe at one side. A window on the opposite side of my bed had dull white curtains with black graffiti on it. The wall above my bed was adorned with my childhood pictures, spanning right from me as a toddler to now when I am fifteen. I had added some posters of Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, The Script and Secondhand Serenade.

Watching my room I longed for my grandma. I went to my wardrobe and looked through it. I decided on a plain black dress that was my granny’s gift to me on my 14th birthday. I looked in the mirror; the face beneath the tears matched my granny’s, exactly. The same whitish skin, straight raven-black hair, and chocolate brown eyes. My 5 foot frame felt like not even a foot without my grandma with me.

My mother knocked my door and I realized it was time for my grandma’s last journey.
