Burial

When Dan and I enter lab we see my dad sitting in the chair where he first introduced is to Trisha. He's crying into his hands. It feels nice to see him suffer after what he did to me and mom. But there is a urge deep down in my body to comfort him and tell him everything is okay. I'm not going to do that thought because he deserves the guilt.

Then the though hits my mind: What are they going to do with her body? I want to bury her under the willow tree. My mom was a surgeon but she always loved the earth she always yelled at me whenever I put a pop can in the garbage and not the recycling, another thing we argued over. What's a better spot to give he body back to the earth then a big, beautiful willow tree.

I look over to the hospital bed where my mom was, a man in a lab coat was carrying her body. What's he going to do with her? "Hey you!" I scream at the man. He didn't move a muscle. He looks around the lab then at me. "Don't touch her!" He looks bewildered then doesn't touch her again and walks away. As I run to get my moms body I see a glimpse of my dad. He raises his head to look at me. His eyes are red and puffy and it looks like he hasn't slept in months. I have no pity for him. He deserves every ounce of guilt he's feeling.

On the bed is my moms body lifeless and still. When I pick her up her skin is cold.

I turn around to notice that Dan didn't follow me he's sitting across from my Dad talking probably trying to comfort him. I walk over to him. "What are you doing?" I growl at him. He doesn't say anything he just gives my dad a comforting look.

My eyes shift my eyes from Dan and focus on my dad. "We're burying her underneath the willow tree in a hours. You can come if you want to."

There's a tool shed in the garden. I guess someone has to take care of the garden. I find a shovel and put my mom on the ground and start digging a hole five feet and twice the width of my mom we dig it on the other side of the
willow tree not where the bench is.

************************************

"It's been a hour," I say to Dan who is still wearing the blood stained shirt that shows through the unzipped red hoodie. I'm to mad at my Dad to ask him for clothes. As for me I'm still wearing my camouflage pants with a black shirt, hoodie and my hair is up as usual. I haven't changed since the beginning of this whole trip. "He's too much of a coward."

"Let's not be to hasty now. He's probably just running late." His voice stutters trying to think of a good excuse.

"Stop trying to defend him. I give him half a hour and if he doesn't come we're burying her. She doesn't deserve his shit."

"Fine. But if he does you have to apologize for such a asshole you've been." That's the first time he has insulted me the whole trip. It's nice to see his angry side.

"Fine. I will but we all know he isn't gonna show up."

**********************************

"It's been half an hour." I say looking at Dan. He nods she head slightly.

I place her in the hole as slowly as I can. I want to save the moment because this is the last time I will ever see her face. After I put her down I kiss my fingers and put them to her forehead she used to do this to me before I went to school. Tears start pouring down face. I need to bury her quick before my eyes go completely dry.

I take the shovel and cover her with the pile of dirt beside the whole. I put the dirt over her body and save her face for last. "I love you mom." I put the last of the dirt over her face. There is a rose bush not to far away. I grab a rose ignoring the pain the thorns give my hand and I place it on my moms makeshift grave.

I take Dan's hand and squeeze as hard as I can and we walk away together.
