If Not You, Then Who?

"I Love You, So Much"

My brother and I were sleeping upstairs after playing old-school Mario on the SNES for old times sake during the summer at my dad's and step-mother, Dee's, home. We were woken up by her screaming and came downstairs and saw my dad dying from a long fight with cancer, I walk over to him crying and held his hand.
He smiled at me and opened his mouth to speak. "I love you, so much." he said before he closed his eyes for the last time.

I opened my eyes and saw my brother Thomas sitting on the edge of my bed next to me, he reached over and wiped a tear that ran freely off my cheek. He gave my a reassuring, apologetic smile and I returned it with my own. But my smiled turned to a frown as I curled up and sobbed into my pillow. "Hey, shhhh. Shhhh." Tom hushed as he gently pulled me towards him, laying my head on his shoulder as I cried. "Shhhh. It's ok Mark. Everything is ok." He rubbed circles on my back to sooth me. "I-I miss h-him s-so much." I sobbed trying to keep my words together. He stopped rubbing my back to stroke my hair. "I do too sis. I miss him too."

I had to rewatch Mark's "Draw My Life" to make this chapter. I told myself I would never watch it again but I love going back to old videos to see how far they've come. For those who haven't seen it I recommend watching it, it's really good and you'll get a few laugh from his jokes and tears from his stories.
Thanks for reading
