My Sister Bot

The Funeral

It was a 3 weeks after Lucy died and her funeral is in 2 weeks. All my friends were trying to comfort me but they couldn't. My family was wrecked. My mom even went to therapy because she thinks she is going crazy. Life is not fun anymore. I use to wake up in the morning looking forward to a fun day with her but now I just wake up and walk through the day blind almost. What I mean is that mostly if you ask me to do something I'd do it, but as I do it I won't care and when I'm done I'll just leave. Worst of all in a week it's Lucy's funeral in a week. I all ready suffered through the pain of the grief I have and me saying no I don't need to see you Mrs.Homer(the school counsel ) Now I got to go see it happen again. When will it end?

I was in the hall at school getting my books out of my locker. I was pretty popular, which came in handy because I had half the school comforting me. My best friend Olivia came over. She was known for knowing all the gossip in the school.

"You coming tomorrow." I asked.

"Yah and someone else is coming to. Kyle! But also Jessica Robe."

"NO" I yelled. "Last time we were together she made a fool out of me." I still find chocolate chips in my hair from Easter party. But the funeral is about Lucy not my enemy and crush. I got to go, bye."

The funeral came fast and I was sitting in the crowd crying in the arms of Olivia. They were saying speeches and I was asked to say one, but I rejected. I knew I couldn't go up there without making a fool out of myself. Not only will I cry I will drool and snot will squirt out of my nose and who knows if I faint.

After I went to the food table when Kyle came up to me. "Sorry about your sister. I bet you feel wrecked." he said.

"You won't know how it feels." I said.

"Actually I do. 2 years ago my 20 old brother died in a car accident."

"I am so sorry, I didn't know that."

"No, It's fine, in fact I came over to ask you something" then his phone rung. "I'll be right back.

I knew he was gonna ask me out.

"Oh hi Ashley" Tommy said. Tommy is my friend. He helps me a lot like when Olivia and I goes shopping he holds the bags or when I forgot my wallet he payed lunch. He was very shy and I admit we take advantage of him but if we didn't he would have no friends. People say he has a crush on Me but I doubt it. "I made you cookies."

I was gonna say thanks but Kyle came. " Anyway would you like to go see a movie with me tomorrow."

"Oh well I better go then" Tommy said with a sad expression.

And of course I said "YES."

I couldn't wait for the movie. I waited for this for so long and its happening. I feel like Lucy made this happen. Yep she still lives in my heart just like I hoped. Then Jessica came over just as things got better.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I was just wanted to say I was looking forward hearing your speech. So bummed you didn't say it. I wanted to get the melt down on tape." holding up her cellphone. "Well since you didn't I have no reason to be here, so bye."

I hate every part of that girl. She almost has no feelings, like a robot. Well worst than a robot because I know my robot will never be like her. Then I saw Kyle come over. " I will pick you up at 6. Got to go, bye. Oh and sorry for your lost, don't worry though. It will get better though." He is so sweet.

Olivia came over and asked "Want to go shopping tomorrow?"

"Sorry already got plans."

"But yesterday you said you were free all weekend." Then she saw my smile "Oh, I know. Got to go."

I went home thinking about Lucy and started thinking about moving on. Then thinking about the name of the robot. Lucy, I thought. Naaa I don't want to replace totally. I figure it out tomorrow.
