She had been right.
I was wrong.
So wrong.
I hadn't been responsible.
I shouldn't have went driving that night.
Let alone with her in the backseat.
It's my fault.
I'm so stupid!
She was only 4.
She don't even get a chance to live.
My parents hate me.
They miss her.
*****
I was drunk.
An I drove.
With her.

The funeral is here.
The coffin so tiny.
Fragile.
Heavy.
So heavy.
My hands sweat carrying the handles along the aisles filled with scowls and judgemental stares.
Who are they pointed to?
Me.
Because it's my fault.

"Big bro it's a red light you should stop".

BANG

Flames

Her cries

Ava's cries.

My fault.

All my fault.
