I haven't been home for 15years and my mom has been on my neck to come home and I finally accepted not only because Nana died.

Nana is my grandmother, she raised me and she finally died, my mom says am part of the reasons Nana died but nahh that lady just got too old.
My plane landed and by the time I got my stuffs together I see a cardboard with my name on it and I walk straight to the person who helped with my bag and drove me to the house. When we got to the house memories flashes of how I and dad use to play around until he passed and I had to travel cause it was so dramatic to me cause I was closer to my dad and now am back for nana's burial too so it only going to remain mom and I.
I drop from the car and make my way to my childhood house and memories floods but am a big girl now and it's been 15years am already dressed for the burial with my black Victoria Secret gown and a black heel and a dark shade glassed with black hand bag and I push the door open and I don't see anyone and my heels is hitting the floor softly but the sound echos and I walk towards the living room and I see a maid who takes my hand bag and dashed up the stairs while I kept looking around and nothing has changed Mom left it has it always been 15years ago and I smile and the family pictures still hanging and I see a new photo my myself and I laugh my mom has been doing a good job stocking me.
Bad child, I hear my nana's voice and I turn to see her and I scream
But Nana you are dead I say
No am not we only said that so u could come home, she says with a smile and hits me with a stick and I shout from the pain and she draws me in a sweet hug, I have missed those.
I see Mrs Jones walking down the stairs looking young beautiful and elegant as always and she gives a sweet smile before she pulled me to a sweet hug and I rest my head in her shoulder
Mummy, I say
My baby,she says and holds me tightly
Can you imagine she dressed up for my funeral, Nana says and laugh and hug them both
But the joke isn't funny, I left alot of work and came here because I thought Nana left us too I say
U so stupid, so u weren't going to come if I didn't die right,she says and hit my head
But it made you come home and that was the aim,my mummy says
Am starving, I say
I made your favorite, my Nana says and I laugh
Nana am a vegetarian now, I say
What, no wonder u look so weak and sick, she says and I laugh
I will wake something else, my mom said as she heads to the kitchen and I go upstairs to my old room.
