"Oh my god, my babies have grown up so much. Just look at you guys"my dad gushes... maybe a little too girly."Dad we'll always be your babies"
Today was the last day of our entire highschool life. Soon we'll all be starting a new chapter in out lives.
Brett slipped his fingers into my own. I gripped onto them and turn to look up at him with a smile. He returned the gesture with a kiss on my forehead. With Brett by my side I couldn't ask for anything else.
The last few months were tough. Very tough. When Zoe's parents heard of the tragic death of their only child, they were torn, and I even felt it. I cried with them too.
My own mother's funeral took place five months ago, and Zoe's funeral the fourth month.
I looked down at myself in my gown and I felt a tear slip down my cheek. I'm still glad to have my other bestfriend beside me. Tracey.
She'd probably been right by my side, smiling as brightly as the day. She always wanted to be an artist although she never told me until I found out the day of her funeral. I cried the entire day with Brett being my shoulder.
"Dad I'm ready"I interrupted him from his talk with Joey. He raised his eyebrows together in confusion before realization hit his features.
"Okay"he turned back to Joey to inform him. I had made a vow on the day of my mother's burial that anything I achieve in my life, she'll never miss out, and today's is the first.
We all climbed into dad's car but not before Mrs Dailey stopped us.
"I'm so proud of all of you. You guys made it! Even though you all went through a terrible time and loss'"
Yes the whole school knows about Zoe's death,and everyone including Chelsea which was surprising was devastated.
Oh, breaking news, Chelsea is pregnant. I couldn't believe when I heard the day I returned back to school. The gossip was so wild. I heard it was a college but that knocked her up. Well she never keeps her legs closed now does she?
"You all were amazing students and I definitely miss my students and god bless you in the future. Take care of yourselves"she shakes all our hands with a smile then walked away.
"Thank you!"I shouted after her which she replied back with a wave of goodbye.
We drove to the cemetery where both my mother and Zoe lay to rest. I went the path that led to my mother with my achievements in my palm. I didn't bother waiting for anyone as I made my way over to her grave.
I sat beside it. "Hi mom. How's everything going on up their?"I joked lightly. I can already feel the tears forming in my eyes.
"Look mom-"I swallowed the lump that lodged itself in my throat before continuing...
"I did it-"someone touched my shoulder making my sentence cut short and also making me jump.
"No. We did it"I looked up to see Brett and Joey with my dad behind them.
"Yeah mom... we - we did it f-for you"I couldn't control now. I let my tears flow freely at any speed they wanted.
Stupid cancer had to take my mom away from me. She would be right by my side, hugging me so much and crying about how 'her babies made it' just like dad and then we all go celebrate but instead she's not here.
But I'm glad that she's some place better. Better than here.
"I miss you"I sob, placing my achievements on the grave. I looked up to see her name written in a beautiful font. Edina Roberts. Mother, wife and an important woman laid to rest. R.I.P.
As if she heard what I just said, the wind blew softly, caressing my face.
"I love you too mom"I breathe with one last year from my eyes before I got up and ran as fast away from her grave and away from everyone.
I ran and ran until I was slumped down infront of my best friends' grave.
"Zoe"I cried, laying my head on the cold concrete.
Maybe everyone thought I ran back to the car as I felt a cold wet feeling slip down my neck followed by another until I realized that it was actually raining.
I didn't know how long I had spent crying on this grave but when I finally looked up it was pitch darkness with the rain and wind being the only noise.
Other people would be scared to death to be out at a cemetery. In the night alone in the rain but right now I just don't care.
I'm so drenched in the rain, my fingers becoming numb by the sudden coldness the air provided. My lips started to quiver and I definitely knew that I should get going. I'm probably going to be sick tomorrow or tonight.
I stand, taking one last glance at the tomb before kneeling down, placing a kiss on my fingers then placing it on the grave saying "you did it babe. You did it."
I turned on my heels with my tears not on display since I'm in the rain. I started to walk, but something caught my eyes. Another body approaching me.
I make a turn back around walking as fast as I could cause I wasn't planning to run, something like falling a hitting my head then die could be worse than the person that is right behind me.
I scream as warm hand came around my waist pulling me into a hard chest and a familiar scent that belonged to one person.
"It's okay. I got you"Brett whispered in my ear. I turned around so fast I wondered how I didn't slip and grabbed unto his shoulder pulling him to me.
His heat radiated off him and unto me. Glad for the heat he provided I pulled him closer.
"Why'd you run off like that?"he asked. I looked up at his beautiful features to see worry spread across it.
"I wanted to see Zoe before we go"I shrugged hugging him again for more warmth.
"Your so cold. Let's go back to the car. Everyone especially your dad was worried sick about you"he murmured into my wet hair. I pulled away from him narrowing my eyes up at him.
"So what, you weren't worried about me too?"I joked. I know Brett from the couple months we've been together and he's gotten very protective. Even of my own brother.
"You don't know how insane I was going without you"he breathes, his warm breath fanning my cold face before he made the move and claimed my lips as his own. As always.
My fingers found its way in his wet but still soft hair, entwining them in his hair.
He groaned into my mouth as he couldn't get enough of me, pulling me closer to him.
This is my dream. Okay maybe not really. Kissing Brett Martin in the rain.
This is so cliché but I love it.
