The funeral is over. I said my speech. They buried her. I cried. Mum cried . Everyone cried.
After the funeral everybody went their separate ways . Me mum and dad went home and Auntie Margaret and uncle Jack came with us. Their son , Jackson , is also with us .
My too tight shoes squeezed my feet as I was squashed inbetween my two least favourite relatives.
Uncle Jack and Aunty Margaret are the only relatives , of mums , that dad can stand . Most of Dads family live in Australia and only most can come.
Uncle Jack , I think , looks like Vernon Dursley from Harry Potter. And Aunty Margeret looks like Petunia Dursley from Harry Potter and Jackson resembles Dudley .
***********************************
Back at our house nothing really happens. We have something to eat , though I don't eat much , and the adults drink
Adults drink to drown their sorrows , even though it doesn't help them anyways , that's what dad told me . But he was drunk then . So that probably wasn't even nesesarry.
***********
It seems like Mum and Dad have been grieving forever even though its only been a few days.
Late at night , when they think I'm asleep , either Mum or Dad goes to off licence and they bring home lots of alcohol. I'm getting scared now . I read this article online that if you drink too much a day you can get very sick.
Mum has started too lay off the drink but Dad won't stop. I try to get to sleep fast so I don't have to listen to the commotion downstairs. But I can't . My nervousness always keeps me awake straight after midnight sometimes.
Its bad for my schoolwork this lack of sleep thing. I keep "tuning out" during class and once I had to do extra homework becuase I wasn't listening in class.

"Mum" I say quietly " I'm scared "
"Of what ? " she asks
"Dad" I squeak , brushing my black fringe to the side.
"Don't worry , darling , he will get better soon " she says closing my door .
" I hope so " I whisper into the darkness .
