kate***

We're halfway to Six Flags, and the song that reminds me of my grandpa came on shuffle. He passed away a few months back, and we were extremely close. he used to love this song. a tear runs down my cheek as i think about him. i still cant believe that he lost the battle to cancer. all of a sudden, i feel a presence next to me. i look over to see Tanner sitting next to me.

"whats wrong?" he asks me with a concerned look spread over his face.

"oh," i answer, my voice cracking, "it's nothing."

"don't lie," he whispers to me, "there's a reason you're crying, and you can be honest with me." he chuckles humorlessly.

"well, this s-song reminds me of my grandpa who passed a few months back. we were really close." i hold back a sob. he puts a hand on my shoulder. i feel butterflies.

"well i don't think he'd want you to be crying over him." he tells me truthfully. i sniff, realizing his statement is true.

Flashback***

I'm at the hospital in my grandpas room. We could all tell that he was on his last few days.

"hey kate, could you *cough* come over here?" he asked. i walked over to the side of his bed. "i think you know that soon, i wont be here. i want you to be strong. don't cry too much. don't cry over me. hear me?"

"yes." i give a short response.

"promise?"

"I promise."

End of flashback***

"you're right."

"remember that for next time." he told me. we continued to tell each other about ourselves until we arrived at the park.

A/N-sorry this was really shitty. and short.
Okay I wrote this like a year ago and ohmygod this is bad. This chapter is really cringey I want to Die.
