Beautiful End

Pain

Elvis's POV,

It's been months now, in fact six months now and her death was still fresh in my mind. The hurt was too much for me, I couldn't even go to work because it reminded me of her, my office had been changed as a result of that but still I just couldn't let her go.

I know I needed to let her go in order to move on but I just couldn't, one part of me still hoped that she would come back to me.
I had cried and cried for days, weeks, in fact months, all to no avail.

In the end I had resulted to being by myself which didn't also help and so here I am, still finding solutions to how I could forget my loss.
I looked at the pictures of her in her younger days that I was holding in my hands.

She was so innocent and pure and I wish I could touch her through the picture, if that was possible. I was interrupted when mom cleared her throat signifying her presence, she listened to me talk about Sandra and offered encouraging words here and there to calm me down, which I was grateful for because it helped me to cope with the pain a little.

She gave me her special milkshake and I drank it greedily. Trust me, my mom can make the best milkshake in the whole of Ghana and beyond, maybe am exaggerating a little but then I hope you get me?.

I hugged her as she comforted me, telling me everything would be alright.
Later, after she had left, I took a shower and headed outside for a walk.
I took my mom's dog pinky for a walk in the park and I must say, it did me a whole lot of good.

I got home to meet Ellen in the kitchen preparing dinner, so I sat beside her as she prepared it. Dinner that evening was a chicken salad and even though I was in a foul mood, I looked forward to the meal. Ellen and I made little conversations as she tried her best not to talk about Sandra, it was frustrating watching her choose her words carefully.

It was like these days, ever since I lost Sandra, everyone is always on edge around me, they say what they don't mean in order not to hurt me and that rather hurts me more than anything.
Thirty minutes later, the whole family sat at the dinning table as Ellen scooped out foods to everyone.

Dinner wasn't as quiet and peaceful as I expected it to be but I must say I did enjoy it. I mean it has been a while since I allowed such company around me and I was grateful I had such a family who understood me.

After dinner,I was heading up to my room after wishing everyone a goodnight when Annabelle asked if I wanted to go with her to Freddie's place, Freddie's place was a store that sold all sort of delights including Ice creams, chocolate puddings and cupcakes that will melt in your mouth when eaten.

I couldn't resist since that has been my favorite store since I moved here and so I went up to change into something modest and followed her, after all a few chocolate chips and Ice creams won't harm will it?.

The drive to the delight shop was interesting, Annabelle and I spoke of what we would order when we get there and so when we eventually parked into the store's parking lot, we both jumped out at the same time racing to the place like two school children.

Annabelle ordered a large vanilla ice cream with sprinkles on it whiles I ordered three cupcakes and an ice cream.
Now before you go saying I am a glutton, the cupcakes were for my two siblings and my mom you see . And hey, girls weren't the only ones who could eat their sorrows away with chocolate or ice cream, guys can do it too you know.

After we had finished our ice creams, we drove back home and after giving the cupcakes out, I went up to my room.
Sleep was fast in coming and after hitting the showers, I drifted of to dreamland.

I saw her. She was running along a tunnel, at the end of the tunnel, there  was a bright light which seemed to suck everything in, I called out to her but she continued her walk towards the tunnel not even looking back once.

I began running in a haste to catch up with her but  as I got closer to her and pulled her hand to turn her around, the light suddenly sucked her in, leaving an empty space where she stood not long ago. I broke down on my knees in tears, then I woke up.

The tears were still visible on my face as I tried to wipe them off. I stood up and went to take a shower then I went back to sleep.
