Stage 4 of grief - Depression
I slipped my black dress off the hanger and put it on. Today was the wake the day I get all the pity from people claiming they were great friends of my mother and they love and miss her dearly. Though I knew the truth my mom did have many friends , she had 3 and occasionally they would go out get a few drinks while catching up. Now there were other "friends" but they would text her , they wouldn't invite her to anything. My mom lost most of her friends after my dad died none of them wanted to invite a dad widowed lady out to eat with everyone else's husbands and wives. I wiped a tear from my eye I felt empty and sad today as If there was nothing I could do about it. I next grabbed the heels and slipped them on. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth then washed my face. I put on makeup because my face looked awful. I walked back in my room grabbed my phone then walked down stairs and left. I started the car today was a gloomy day rain dropped on my window as I turned on the wind shield. I actually loved the rain but today wasn't the day for rain. There was a rumble of thunder quickly followed by a crack of lighting in the distance. I arrived at the funeral home , stepped out of my car, walked to the building , took a deep breath before walking in , then walked in. The wake started in 20 minutes but I had to be here early since some people show up a few minutes early and they're only here to give condolences. After about 10 or 15 minutes people started swarming in everyone got in a line. I talked to so many people I didn't even notice who I was talking to ever I just gave the same reply to everyone. There was a few more people left " thank you it means a lot " I said then hugged the person. I repeated this 5 more times even the last person which was hunter who I didn't even realize was him until now . " I didn't even know that was you I'm sorry I'm just so out of it right now" I said yo hunter . " it's okay I understand" he said pulling me into a hug. " how about we go grab lunch I'm so hungry" he said to me. " sure where should we go?" I asked hunter. " noodles & company ? " he asked because he knew I loved it. "Yeah that sounds good I'll take my car and meet you there." I said. "Sounds good" hunter said. I kissed his cheek and we walked out and he put his hand on the small of my back.

We ate lunch then decided to head over to his place. I got in my car the last time I was at his house my mom died but what do I have to lose now. I thought to myself. I pulled into the driveway after him . He parked in the garage and I just parked in the driveway. I walked into the garage and met up with him. "Ladies first" he said while opening the door to his house. I plopped on the couch next to his dog and pulled him onto my lap petting him. " so what do you wanna do" hunter asked me . " movie Time" I said. " eeeee I'll go make popcorn" hunter said. I smiled but no laugh followed so it usually would have but I didn't have it in me. " what movie shall we watch" hunter asked. " hmmm the choice by Nicholas sparks" I said. " you got it" he said while putting a popcorn bag in the microwave . We pulled up the movie on amazon prime video. Beep beep beep I heard the microwave sound as the popcorn was ready. "Come to papa" hunter says as he threw popcorn in his mouth . I laughed I couldn't help it he is so weird but he's my weird . " come the movie is starting and I need to use you as a pillow" I said: " I'm coming I'm coming I'm coming" hunter said to me as he rushed over. He got on the couch and I snugged up right next to him. He looked down at me and kissed my forehead. " I love you" hunter said. It still felt so meaningful and real when he said I love you it was the simplest thing that could make me happy. " I love you more" I said with a smile on my face as I looked up at him and kissed his cheek. " not possible I love you more" hunter said. I left it at that even though it wasn't true but we could do this for hours. Spending time with him was the best thing in the world and I was thinking everything will be okay.
