False Alarm//Lynn Gunn

Chapter Eight

Time of death: 12:39

I could only repeat that sentence in my head as I stood at my fathers grave.

My mom and grandma were crying and my grandpa tried to comfort them.

I didn't cry at all. Her deserved all of this. He wasn't a bad person. Not before I got into prison. I guess he changed because of me. It was all my fault.

I felt a hand grab mine and looked beside me, seeing Blair smile weakly at me. I smiled back slightly and turned my attention back to my fathers grave.

"William will always be in our hearts. He was a good man. We will miss you William." the priest said. Some other people lowered the coffin in the hole that they dug.

One single tears dropped down my cheek. I didn't even realize it until I saw it fell and hit the ground.

I'm sorry dad. I didn't mean to but you left me no choice. You completely ignored me when I needed the most help and you beat mom for gods sake. I would never let anyone do that to my fucking mom. Not even my own dad. I guess that was very clear now.

It was awful to be sitting in the same room as your dead father who was laying on the ground. When we all calmed down a little we quickly got dad in the car and drove to the hospital. Dad died there. He was losing a lot of blood and his heart was very weak.

We told the doctors that he got beat up by someone when he was walking in an alley. He came home like this and we brought him to the hospital. They believed it. They believed all the bullshit lies we were telling them.

It would be weird to tell them that his own daughter killed him, right? My mom didn't want me to get back in prison and neither did Blair. I didn't care at all anymore. I wouldn't mind if I died.

"Hey, Lynn? Come on. Lets go home."

I hadn't noticed that everybody was gone already and that Blair and I were the only people standing at the grave.

I slightly nodded and started walking alongside Blair. She put her head on my shoulder and linked our arms together.

I know she told me why she cared about me and all but I still didn't get how a total stranger cared. I pushed that thought away and decided it would be for the best if I just became friends with Blair. She was a really nice girl and she helped me through a lot already.

"You know, you're a stranger to me and you've helped me a lot more than any of my best friends have ever done. Thank you for that, Blair. I really appreciate it."

"It's no problem. I told you why I do this. I also really want to get to know you. You seems really cool, Lynds!"

Aww she called me Lynds. Thats so adorable.

"Thanks." Blair smiled at me.

Wait did I just say that out loud?

"Yes, you did."

"Oh fuck."

"It's okay. You're adorable too."

We stood at the gates of the funeral, just under a tree out of the sun.

When I was a kid I used to think that the world knew when someone was getting buried so the world made it rain but now I know that's not true at all. What a stupid thought.

"Lynn?"

I turned back to Blair.

"Yeah?"

"Can I kiss you?"

I just stared at Blair in shock. Did she just ask if she could kiss me? OMG SHITTYFLYINGUNICORNS ON A STICK. WHAT THE HELL DO I SAY?

Blair looked down and began to take a step backwards but I stopped her by lifting up her chin and pressing my lips to hers.

Kissing someone at my dad his funeral. I guess I could cross that out on my bucket list.
