Alaina Mahone

Today instead of going somewhere with Luke, I decided to stay with my dad. He's been acting really weird lately and I want to find out why.

"Hey Alaina. Shouldn't you be going somewhere with Luke." Dad asked, as he walked into the living room.

"No. I decided to stay here." I said.

"Okay well I'm going to go to the grocery store. I'll be back soon. Love you." Dad, said walking out the door.

"Love you too."

Right when dad walked out the door I ran into his room. I started searching through drawers and cupboards looking for an thing that would possibly tell me what's wrong. I finally found a journal under his bed. I looked through some of the pages then finally stopped on one that started with,

Dear Carter,

It's been a week since you've been gone and I'm miserable. I miss you so much. I just can't believe you're actually gone. The love of my life is really gone. Alaina is doing really well. She misses you a lot too. We all miss you. Alex is alright. I haven't seen him a lot though because ever since you died he's said he always wants to be alone so I've let him be alone. We all miss you so much but it was hard watching you go through all that pain. I just wish you were still in my arms. I love you so much. - Austin

By the end of the letter I was crying. Scratch that, sobbing. But I flipped the throught the pages looking for the most recent one if he wrote any more. I found one that was written just a couple days ago.

Dear Carter,

It's been a while since I've written a letter to you. Alaina is now 15 years old. She really misses you still. I miss you a ton. It's hard knowing you're not here to see Alaina grow up. I've been planning on visiting your grave with Alaina soon. It's been hitting me hard that you're gone. I think Alaina is starting to notice that I'm acting a little weird. Hopefully she can understand. I just want you to know we all miss you and love you much. And I know you told me to move on before you died but I just can't. None of the other girls are like you. You were my perfect fit. I love you.

- Austin

I heard the front door open and I quickly ran out of dad's room and gave dad a huge hug. I started crying into his chest.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Dad asked.

"I saw what you wrote t-to m-mom." I stuttered from crying.

"You did?" He asked.

"Yeah. I want to go visit her." I said.

"Right now?" Dad asked.

"Yes." I said.

Dad grabbed some flowers he just bought and we drove to the graveyard.

We got to mom's grave and dad was about to cry but tried to hold back the tears. I pulled him into a hug and said, "it's okay to cry." Then he started sobbing and so did I. We just stood there, crying into each other's arms. It felt nice to let it all out. All the feelings I've been holding in for a long time. Dad put the flowers on her grave right in front of her grave stone then we left.

When we got home I had 15 missed calls from Luke. I called him back so he wouldn't worry.

"Thank goodness you're okay. I've been calling you all day." Luke said into the phone.

"I'm alright." I said.

"Are you okay? You sound like you've been crying." Luke asked.

"I just visited my mom's grave." I said, trying to hold back the tears.

"Oh, do you want me to come over?" Luke asked.

"Hold on." I looked at dad and he already knew what I was going to ask.

"He can come." Dad said and I put my ear back to the phone.

"Yeah please come." I said.

"Okay, be there in 5." Luke said then hung up.

"I'm going to be in my room." Dad said.

"I love you, dad. Don't ever forget." I said, before he entered his room.

"I love you too." He said and shut the door.

I heard a light knock on the door and I quickly opened it. Luke stood there. He knew not to say anything and he just hugged me and I cried into his chest.
