Chapter 1
-In your life you're going to meet two kinds of people; Fake and Real people.
I walked into the church holding my baby brother. Tears falling down my face. I was approaching two coffins. I stopped dead in my tracks not wanting to see my parents' lifeless bodies.
Nathan stirred in my arms. This little kiddo was only 11 months. My parents tried so hard for another kid and Nathan was our little bundle of joy. Knowing that our parents weren't going to be here is hard and heartbreaking.
" Tiffany, sweetie go and take your seat alright", Kourtney told me. Kourtney is my god sister and my guardian. She has stayed by my side through all this. I walked to the front and taking my seat just staring at the coffins that held my parents inside.
"Today we have gathered here to farewell our beloved friends Joe and René. They were the kind of people who would always put a smile on your face no matter the situation. Its horrible that they have been taken away from us. May God forgive the person that killed them. We shall miss you Joe and René. May they be in our hearts forever. Amen"
"Amen" echoed everyone's voices.
Speeches were being made about my parents. I wanted to make a speech about how much I wanted my parents here with me and how much I love them, but just standing up there and saying all these things and having to wonder if they even know how i feel.
Walking up to the coffins and looking at there pale faces and lifeless bodies. I planted a kiss on their foreheads.
" I love you mummy and daddy" I whispered.
Just like that I walked away, leaving them to rest in peace. Holding the only person I could call family. The breeze caressed my face genteelly. Looking down at Nathan, he was so small and innocent. He had no idea whats going on and how his life just changed.
I've been crying ever since my parents died and it was a gloomy atmosphere every time you were around me. People came by to say their condolences and tell me that they would be here for me no matter what.
I was sitting on a bench outside the church with Nathan, when a hand popped out holding a pack of tissues. The nails were manicured and I knew exactly who it was. Vanessa Morgan my bestest friend since grade 1.
"Um, Tiff you alright?!"
"Vanessa I like what you're wearing" forcing a smile.
Vanessa sat next to me and wiping the tears from my cheeks.
"Sweetie, you don't have to go through this alone you know, I'm here and Chris as well. We both love you and being able to help you in anyway would reassure us that you're going to be alright"
"Vanessa, I know you guys love me but I need time to sort out my mind and things. I have loads of responsibilities now like taking care of this little bud. I might not be the Tiffany I've always been anymore"
"I don't care if you're going to change, I'm going to be here for you no matter what. We shall get through this together. Everyone wants you to be ok ad we'll help you with Nathan alright"
Tears were falling down my face as I gave Vanessa a slight hug.
"Promise me you won't leave?"
"I promise you Tiffany Rose Benjamin I won't leave you"
Wiping away my tears, I stood up having my hands firmly on Nathan.
"Here's to the future"
"Here's to the future Tiff", she whispered.
Today will be the start of my new life and everything feels like its going to take time to fall into the right place.
