"Thank you for coming"Mrs. Wilson shook the people's hands as they walk out the church in sadness. I watch as Silas was looking down with his shades on. I felt so bad for him. That man was like his best friend. His father. His grandpa did everything for Silas. While his father was gone on a business trip or just wasn't there, his grandpa was there every game and graduation. "Thank y'all so much for coming"Mrs. Wilson sniffle.

"I'm ready to go" Mr. Wilson whispered. Not loud enough.

"If you want to go, then go"Mrs. Wilson said. "I'm not stopping you"

"Fine"Mr. Wilson grab his keys and hat. He left out the church leaving Mrs. Wilson with us. The last person left out the church crying. I made my way towards Silas. I touch his shoulder so he can look up at me.

"Babe, you ready?"I ask.

"Yeah. Lemme see if mom have a ride back home"he said. I nodded my head and walk to the car.

"This is so good Mrs. Wilson"Charlotte smiled at her. I know Mrs. Wilson ain't gone say shit to her. "I haven't had a good cook meal since my mom left me"

"Your mom left you?"I ask.

"Yes. She left me for some rich white man. So I had to survive on my own"Charlotte smiled. "And when I met Silas....."

"Who wants deserts?"Mrs. Wilson ask.

"Ouuuuu. I hope it's strawberry pie"Silas cousin said. Charlotte coughed a little. "Ohhh. Charlotte allergic to strawberries"

"Well maybe she should leave since she's allergic"Mrs. Wilson said.

"Aunt. She came with me, she could stay"Silas cousin said.

"Well you can leave too"she said with an attitude.

"Listen, can I have a word with you outside Mrs. Wilson"Charlotte said.

"For what?" Mr. Wilson ask.

"You know what, I feel so disrespected by your wife Mr. Wilson. I done nothing wrong"Charlotte said.

"Charlotte you know I don't like you. For a gift, you brought me money from your job. Do you think I want your stripper money sweetie?"

"Well at least I was being kind. Daughter in law didn't bring shit"Charlotte said.

"What that have to do with me?"I ask her. What she have against me? "Me and Silas was on the rode. We didn't want to stop and get anything"I said.

"Yeah whatever. I'm gone. Jayden and Jayson, are y'all coming?"Charlotte ask them. They both stood up and followed her out the house.

"She have them trained"Mr. Wilson laugh. Silas looked at his father and shook his head.

"Magnolia you didn't have to say shit to her"Mrs. Wilson said.

"I was protecting myself"I said.

"What time y'all leaving back to California?"Mr. Wilson ask.

"In a few, we just came to say goodbye"Silas said.

"Oh god"Mrs. Wilson came and hugged Silas. "I didn't want you two to leave"

"Well we both have work momma"Silas said.

"Magnolia, remember what I told you"Mrs. Wilson hugged me.

"I remember"I smiled.

After saying goodbye to Silas parents, we took off away from the house and back on the road. I did a lot of thinking when I was at the funeral. Maybe I should go to school for something. But I don't know what to go to school for. I'm good at makeup but not hair. I love my job as a security guard. But bill was right and Silas mother. I'm too pretty and smart to be working as a security guard.
