A/N....I haven't had any comments but I really would like to get this story out there just to see if I can do it. So here is the first chapter. I really hope to get some one to read it and give me their opinion.
Chapter 1: The pain of loss
It was 11 am on a Wednesday and it was my first official day of summer break. My JR High School days were now behind me and it was time to have fun. However today didn't turn out to be the day I had in mind.
I was woken up by my mom entering my room and by the look on her face I knew.
"Sweetheart I have some bad news" She said as she entered my room and took a seat next to me on my bed.
"It's OK mom, you don't have to say it I know that grandma died early this morning. I felt it." I tell her as I get up from my bed and leave the room.
I walk to the room that they use to keep the only adult that made me feel like I belong and climbed on her bed. I took in what was left of her scent and fell as sleep as my brain began to process the loss that I had just experienced. I knew that from this moment on my life was never going to be the same and I cursed the heavens for taking away the only one that made me feel like life was worth living.
After a long nap I woke up to the sound of a full house. I walked out of the room to see my family running around trying to get everything ready. Then as I looked around I felt completely alone even when surrounded by all of my family. This was just another reminder of the fact that I was now alone. That I was once again just the black sheep of the family and nothing more. When I made it outside I spotted my mom talking to the next door neighbor and some how I just knew that she was there for me. So I silently made my way to them and as soon as they saw me my mom smiled at me.
"Honey Aida is here to see if you wanted to go to her house and away from all this for a little while. And I think that it will help you process all of this if you are away from all of the people running around the house." My mom told me and for the first time since I woke up today I saw how tiered she looked. I knew that this was hard for her too because even if that was not her mom it was the woman that accepted her just the way she was. That was just the person my grandma was.
"Sure mom, thank you. I think that you should take a break and go home to rest. You look tiered and I know that you miss her too." I said as I gave her a hug and followed Aida next door to her house.
At this moment I felt like my entire world was coming to an end and I just didn't know if I had the energy to fight it. When we arrived at the house Aida smiled at me and walked me to a guest room I would use when I had sleep overs with her granddaughters.
"You should get more rest and just call me if you need anything." She told me before walking away and leaving me alone in front of the guest room closed door.
Taking a deep breath I walked into the room to be surprised at what I saw there. Lying on the bed was the last person I thought that I see. He looked at me opening his arms without a word and that was all it took for me to finally break down.
"She's gone Alex! What am I going to do know?" I said as I ran on to the bed and right between his opened arms.
"I know Princess is OK. I'm right here, you are not alone." He replied against my hair as he wrapped his arms around me and held me tight to him.
