Breathless scream

       All I could think about, while the casket was lowering into the ground was how it happened, how my dad had died.

      My mom was bawling her eyes out next to me. She put a comforting arm around me as I tried to hide my emotions. My aunt and uncle said a few words and then the preacher said a prayer. By the time we made it back to car it was 8:30. It's weird how it already felt normal, how I Knew that it was going to be this way so we had to get use to it.

"Are you okay?" Mom whispered, hers never leaving the road.
"Yeah,I'm alright."
The drive home was 20 minutes of silence. It was just me and my mom now.

Me and mom lived alone in a house on wheeler street and I was in public school until the 4th grade, until I started home schooling because of my dad having to move around all the time. But it was fine because this way we could keep the family together. Right after I got pulled out of school I was playing soldier around the house and I found one of my dad's knives. He came up behind me and grabbed my arm and I thought he was going to yell at me but he gave me a smaller one and started teaching me tricks.
 

  "Kristen...Kristen.......KRISTEN!"my mom said pulling me from my thoughts .
"Sorry." I said with a blank expression.
We headed in the house and I went to my bedroom to lay down. As I lay there for a couple of minutes I was thinking of what dad had looked like, smelled like and as my deep thoughts consumed me I drifted into a involuntary sleep

Dream\flashback

"Mom can we stop and get ice-cream on the way home and also some for dad." I said in pout
" yeah okay, I will on the way home."
After about the 4th place we stopped by we headed by Wendell's ice-cream shop.
"Three chocolates please." I hear mom say through the window
I finished mine on the way home and was holding dads in my hands. We pulled in the drive way, got out of the car and heard a gunshot .
"Get in the car." mom said
But I didn't listen , I run and saw a dark figure run out the back door. I ran to the bathroom and he was in the floor motionless. I was screaming at the top of my lungs I couldn't stop. My mom came and did the same. I looked up and he was staring at me and I heard him whisper.
"You did this."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke in a sweaty panic and I jolted up as fast as I could to stare in to the blackness of my room.and I said in a breathless scream
"Dad."
