"We are gathered here today to remember a love one near and dear to our hearts in their most untimely unexpetant death. May this love one be at peace with the hand of guidance to protect them from anything to hurt them ever again." Speaks the preacher.

Tavius out of the whole room is the loudest griever.

"No!!! Ahhhhhhah! Wahhhhhh!!! Why!!" He sobs hysterically. A comforting hand is placed on his shoulder hugs him close.

"It's alright." Say's Chester..baring a tiny smile. "Paisley is in a better place now."

"But that was my god mother! Why did she die daddy?" He sniffles hard.

"Her heart stopped Tavy. When your heart stops you can no longer live because your oxygen is cut off you can no longer breath. Her blood no longer circulated and blood to the human body is very essential." He explains, tears drizzle down his cheeks. The only reason why she had a heart attack was from something she saw. Something that scared her so bad it took her breath away at the thought of it killing her. He can't help feeling like it's his fault that she's gone, along with the little sister he was going to surprise Tavy with.

"Hello Ms. Elle I'm calling to excuse Tavius absence from school we are just trying to cope with a recent loss we had. Thank you. Thank you for your support and understanding. He will be in school tomorrow, yes. You too..bye."  

"Dad can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Yeah son you may." Chester's P.O.V 

This house I thought would of given me a clean beginning but so far it seems worse than the last one since my best friend actually died here in the very basement. I was unconscious at the time when she arrived. I should of told her to stay outside or kept the key I gave to her. She's gone all because of me. Why didn't I wake up fast enough to protect her?!

"Dad your crying..are you okay?" Whines Tavy, hugging my torso..he's so little.

"I'm fine Tavius. I love you." I hug him back after seeing him start to cry.

"I love you daddy." He say's, wiping his tears away. "Are you gonna die too..because your head hurts?"

"No son..daddy is gonna be okay I just have a bit of a concussion is all. I'll heal up."

"Good." Smiles Tavy. "I'm gonna miss god mommy a lot."

"Me too Tavy, me too. Now she is our angel watching over us."

As soon as Tavy fell asleep..I sit on the front porch..letting my cries out. Letting it hide in the howls of many wolves in the forest. Letting every passerby know that I feel like a helpless child with no friend to talk to. That my strong romantic friendship all went into a box of isolation. My fault, my fault, my fault. I'm so sorry Paisley..I will get this house bless.
