The tears still rolled down my face for three weeks after. Connor' s face was covered up in bandages. He was still with jasi but absolutely hated it. I walked to grave hill, where I sat with dad and Mia.
"Hey daddy. Mia." I said with effort. "How are you?"
I wasn't expecting a reply, but I always asked. I had removed Lucille and began carrying her again.
"I think jasi and Connor are not gonna last very long. Connors all cut up too. Jasi has said he shot himself." I spoke into the air. "He was full of guilt."
I headed over to mommy's grave.
"I let you down mom. I shouldn't have left."
"It was fine." She said. I wasnt too panicked as dad had once done the same to me. "But you must understand that men are strange things."
I held my arms out to feel her cold skin. She had been dead for years, yet she is standing with me.
"Is dad there?"
"Yes. He's just shooting rats." Replied mom with a chuckle.
"And everyone else?"
"Yes."
"Mom, I think I need yo-"
"Follow your heart Clodagh." She whispered as she slowly vanished.
I looked around to find Connor slowly walking to his dad's grave.
"I miss you, pa."
He caught my eye and came up to me.
"Hey." He spoke first. "I've left Jasi."
"Cool."
"Miss you too, Warren." He added looking at the grave of my dad.
"Clodagh, I need to admit something to you."
"And that is...?"
