*one year later*
I lay in bed thinking about that night. It replays over and over In my head. Like a constant reminder that she's gone....forever.
I turn in my covers laying in my side looking out the window. The outside showing its quality's as the red and orange leaves make piles along the yards of the homes.
A tear leaves my eye as I remember that my moms favorite season was autumn. And that she would always go all out with pumpkins, turkeys, and the color orange.
A small smile comes on my lips as I remember the day she told me that she had everyone coming over and how she was stressed that food wasn't good enough.
A knock on my door gets me out of my thoughts.
"Come in"
My aunt, Jane, walks through the door holding a glass of water and a piece of toast. "Morning, are you okay?"
The words have no meaning to me anymore. It's been a year and people are still asking me if I'm 'okay' and honestly I'm not. But I put on a fake smile and tell them otherwise.
"School starts soon, get ready and meet me downstairs in ten" she says while placing a gentle kiss on my forehead. She rubs my temple then leaves the room while shutting the door.
I take a deep sigh and get ready for the day ahead.
