Chapter Twenty-Five

Alex’s pov

I sit down next to Brandon and put the little gift down.

"Sorry I didn't visit two weeks ago, I've been sick for a while" I start off, "But I'm fine now. I hope dad visited though"

I look around. It still hasn't changed here. It’s still has this lovely peace full atmosphere; it has since the very first day he’s been here.

"I miss you, so much" I confess towards my brother, "Since you're here, dad has been acting really off, and things are just not what they used to be. As for dad, he acts like both of his kids are off, although Francis always reminds him of my existence. And about everything else, I can't even go to the shop like I used to. I think that if I got a penny every time you are the reason people walk up to me, I'd be a millionaire. Not that I mind though, I'm glad people still haven't forgotten about you. I'm still proud to call you my brother"

I look around and notice some people. I guess they're here for the same reason as I am. Its good people still visit, it makes me happy no one forgot about all these guys, and girls, over here. No one should ever forget about them, no one.

"Hi Alex" miss Franklin says walking by.

"Hi Miss Franklin"

"How are you?"

"I'm good, thank you. Came to visit Joyce?"

"And Oliver of course" she answers, "Well I should go, my grandkids won't feed themselves"

"Have a good day"

"You too, say hi to your brother from me" she says before she leaves.

Miss Franklin is someone who I met a long time ago, she comes here every week, to see her two kids: Joyce and Oliver. We often have a little conversation and she kind of though me it would be good if I talked to Brandon. I followed her advice and look at me now...

"Miss Franklin said hi" I tell Brandon as I look at the time, "Oh damn, It's already six o'clock, Brandon I have to go"

I get up and grab all my stuff together. I grab the old flowers and replace them with some beautiful new ones.

"Brother, I love you" I say and place my lips on the cold stone that will represent my brother forever, "I will never forget you. See you in two weeks"

I arrive at my ants place, park the car and get out. Walking over to her front door I notice my cousin Lucy sitting in front if the window waving at me.

"Hey Alex, come in" my ant Linda says as she lets me in.

She looks quite horrible if I may say. It looks like she's having a bad fever.

"Are you okay? You look quite sick" I say as we walk into the living room where Lucy is.
