The New Kid

I Do

"Wana go home?" Chase asked. Devouring his delicious burger. Made by the one and only Christian.

"Ya, well I'm ready" Alexa said, finishing her burger. She stood up and Marlon followed behind her.

"See you at home!!" Alexa shouted as she got in the car with Marlon. They drove off, heading back home. Leaving me there with all my friends.

"Ya, I'm ready to go home" I said. I stood up and grabbed Chase's hand and walked towards the door.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?!" Quincy shouted at me.

"What do you mean?! My ass is going home!!"

"Without us?" Christian said, walking towards me. Everyone else followed him.

"You wana come? Sure, you can help me get my life back on track" and with that, I turned around and walked right out the door. I hopped into Chase's car and we drove to my house. Christan drove the rest of them in his car.

We all met at my house. Alexa and Marlon were already there. Once we all got inside, I announced that I wanted to make a shrine for my parents.

"Your a GENIUS!!!" Diana blurted out.

"Well I wana help" Chase said, putting his hand around my waist.

"Well, while you guys do that, Marlon and I will look through some of their old stuff. See if we can find anything" Alexa said.

"Okay, well c'mon guys, help me gather the supplies to make the shrine." I lead them to the closet where Alexa and I kept all of our supplies. We each took some supplies then walked out to the deck outside, so that we would have more space.

Honestly, we had no idea what we were doing. When it was finished, it looked like a nine year old made it.

It was a white cross made out of cardboard. It had Mom and Dad written across it with stickers that were covered in glitter. We painted it design's on it and glued colorful feathers onto it.

Yes, I know, not our best work. But I know Mom and Dad would have loved it anyway. Because no matter how bad our work or drawings were, they still told us it was perfectly perfect.

FLASHBACK

"Mommie!!! Daddie!!! Look!! I drew a picture of our family!!!" I yelled, running off the bus, into Dad's arms. He picked me up and twirled me around. He kissed me on the cheek.

"Oh it's beautiful!!" Mom said.

"Let's hang it on the fridge, so everyone can see!!" Dad said.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Come on, let's stick it in the backyard, Mom and Dad loved to sit out here together" I announced. I got a shovel from the garage then carried the large shrine to the edge of the back yard.

I dug a small hole and stuck the shrine into the ground.

"Wait, what if it gets wet? It's made of cardboard, it'll fall apart if it gets wet" Will said.

"True" Diana replied.

I felt as if a light bulb appeared above my head. I ran inside and dug up Mom's favorite umbrella. It was HUGE!! It had owls all over it because Mommie LOVED owls. Daddie got it for her when they first met and they would always share the umbrella on rainy days.

I can still remember the first time I ever used it. We were just coming out of a restaurant.

FLASHBACK

"Mmmmmm, that was good" Alexa said, skipping towards the door. Daddie opened it for Alexa and I. We both ran outside, only to be shouted at by a loud clash of thunder.
