Griefing Process

AN: I've decided to change Sophia's character from Lea Michele to Vanessa Hudgens, explaining the new cover. Wanted to cover that up. And I've been able to update faster because school isn't piling up and I'm taking time to write so expect more updates. Okay hope you enjoy💋❤️.

I actually slept through the night. I'm surprised. My head hurts and my eyes itch.
Probably from all the crying.
I try to sit up, but my back aches, I feel totally sore. Like if every bone is broken.
I stand up, groaning. I put on my slippers and just for a second forget what had happen, and then it came back to me.
Anne.
I started to tear up, and then wiped my face.
I opened the door and headed downstairs.
Brian was there making pancakes.
"Hey. Good morning kiddo, you okay?"
He said bringing me pancakes, while I sat down at the kitchen table.
"I'm fine. Just a little soar." I said rubbing my back.
"We'll eat up, it'll be good for you to eat." He said patting me on the back and going upstairs.
I ate bit by bit, every bit, a thought pops up.
Why? Why did this have to happen? Did I deserve this? Did Anne deserve this. Did her family deserve this?
No. They didn't. No one deserves something this cruel.
My phone flashes a message.
Luke: Hey you. Wanna hang out today?
Me: Ummm, not today I'm not in the mood...
Luke: oh what's wrong??
Me: Nothing, just family stuff..
Luke: you can tell me...
Me: well my best friend from home died in an accident yesterday, and I'm a wreck to be honest.
I typed this almost crying.
Luke: oh my god, if u need anyone to talk to know I'm here... Okay?
Me: ya I know. Thx.
Luke: do u want me to come over for comfort?
Me: well I guess I could use comfort cause my brother has to go to some school thing. I don't know why since its sunday.
Luke: I'll be there. What's your address?
I typed my address.
Luke: see you later, stay strong❤️
Me: I will, see u later.
I closed my phone and Brian came downstairs.
"Look I really don't wanna leave you, but I have to bec-" I cut Brian off.
"It's okay. I have a friend coming over to come be with me while I grief." I said fake, half smiling.
"Oh. Is it that Luke dude?" He said getting all manly.
"Ya. He won't do anything, trust me."
I said chuckling.
"I can be late to my seminar, and wait for this Luke dude." He said getting all buff and trying to act like the big brother he is.
"No go. It's okay. I'll be fine. Don't worry. Now go." I said standing up from the table and pushing him out.
He hugged me goodbye.
I shut the door and went upstairs.
I got a fluffy blanket, and went downstairs to the living room.
I turned in the TV, and crumbled up in a little ball on the couch, and watched Netflix.
Waiting for Luke to arrive, I watched a few episodes of South Park, that cheered me up, and then the door bell rang.
I opened it, and there was Luke standing with flowers and lots of snacks.
"Hey." He said coming in for a hug. I hugged him back, something I really needed was a big hug.
"So, care to explain the sweets?" I said letting him in.
He put the sweets down on the table, and handed me the flowers.
"Well the flowers are for you. I know how much you love them, and I was hoping they would make you happy. And the sweets, well we can eat till we are full, and eat the pain away." He said all this looking into my eyes and smiling.
"Wow. You went all out for me, thanks." I said going in for a hug.
"Anything for you." He said hugging me back.
We then watched a bunch of awesome movies, ate a lot and laughed a lot.
He cheered me up and made me smile.
Then after eating almost everything and watching over a dozen movies, I found myself on him, cuddling in his arms.
He was watching "The Amazing Spider Man 2" with me.
"You feel a little better?" He said basically in my ear. It was already 4pm.
4 hours had pass.
"Ya I guess you made it better."
I said then asking him if I could sit up.
"Wow thanks. I just want to make you happy." He said sitting closer to me.
"Well you did." I said looking into my eyes.
We were looking into our eyes in silence for about 2 seconds, before we kissed.

We kissed for a about 10 seconds before letting go.
"You're a good kisser." Luke said stroking my cheek, and smirking.

"Thanks" I said being cut off my him, kissing me again.
We kissed for about 1 minute, laying on the couch.
Then we stopped when Luke's phone rang.
It was his sister, telling him to go home.

I stood up, waiting to say good bye.

"I go to go. I'm sorry I couldn't stay more." He said holding my hand.

"Well, you sure cheered me up." I said walking him to the door.

"Just a question. What exactly are we?" He asked while we were standing in front of the door.

"I think we're more than friends." I said with a smile.

"Good." He said kissing me again.

"Boyfriend and girlfriend?" He said letting go from the kiss.

"Yea I guess." I said opening the door to let him out.

"I like that." He said walking out.

"Bye." I said closing the door.
"Bye." He said waving back.

I closed the door and then walked to the couch.
If only Anne were here. I would've told all about today.

But I miss her still.

But, Luke made it better.

Luke seems to make very thing better these days.

Now he's by boyfriend, and I'm starting, to feel better.

But maybe it's not just Luke, maybe I'm just becoming a better person and I'm growing up, and be more confident.

Maybe I'm just growing up.
