I went into the living room hoping my mum would be asleep. It was 6:00 in the morning and I couldn't sleep I hadn't been to the graveyard since me and my mum had that fight about 2 weeks ago. I've been spending all of my free time with Harry sometimes he would come over my house and sometimes I would go over to his. My mum started to like him quite a bit. I got into the living room and I saw my mum was still sleeping I had about 3 hours until school and there was no way I could go back to sleep. So I went back into my room and got on my bed to climb out the window. My room was on the second floor and there was a tree I could use to help me get out. I quickly climbed down the tree and went to the garden to pick some flowers. I grabbed the perfect red roses when I heard.

"What ya up to"? I jumped dropping the flowers then quickly picking them up and turning around to find Harry

"Hazza you can't scare me like that"!

"Sorry" he said then shrugged

"What in the world are you doing here"?

"I couldn't sleep" he replied "now what are you doing" he asked

"Well...um..getting flowers" I said I didn't tell Hazza about my dad and I kinda wanted to keep it that way but I knew I wouldn't be able to hide it forever.

"For who"? he wondered

"Um...my....um....mum"

"Nope it's for someone else you liar"!

"Hazza keep it down your going to wake my mum"

"Well if you don't tell me I'm going to scream"

"You wouldn't"

"Watch me....AHHHH-"! I covered his mouth and pulled him behind the bushes as a house light went on and a lady walked outside

"Look your gonna wake up the neighborhood"

"If you don't tell me the truth I'm going to do it again"

"Fine, there for my dad"

"Why are you doing this now why not when he's awake"?

"Because he's never gonna be awake again" my eyes started to water

"Wait, what do you mean"?

"He's dead okay, he's dead" Harry pulled me into a big hug while I was crying my heart out

"I'm so sorry I-"

"It's okay you didn't know"I said"Sorry I got your shirt all wet" I said and laughed and so did he

"It's no big deal" he said with a smile, and I smiled back

"I go to the graveyard as often as I can to leave him flowers"

"Why don't you just go with your mum"?

"It's to hard for her she always cries and says she can't take me"

"Oh I'm sorry about that"

"It's fine, hey do you want to come with me"?

"Yah sure" we started to walk when I started to wonder

"Hey, how did you know I wasn't telling the truth"?

"You chew on your lip"

"Wow" We got to the graveyard and I found my father's gravestone

Rest In Peace

I placed the roses right under his gravestone and smiled as a tear dripped down my cheek

"Jackson, Jackson"? Harry asked

"Yeah he told me that when he was younger he would get teased all the time so he insisted everyone call him jack" I said with a sniffle "gosh I miss him"
