We arrived at the Cemetery 20 minutes later, I was still in my clothes from the hospital, and so was everyone else. It was starting to get darker, so the wind picked up a little. I closed my window, and Jace glanced at me,
"Do you want me to close my window?" He asked, but I just shook my head keeping my eyes straight on the road. He signed at turned away from me. I looked in the review mirror and saw Heather sitting in the back, looking at her phone. He parents were probably wondering where she was.
Wish my parents cared that much.
We pulled up to the booth that let you enter the Cemetery. The man looked at Jace and asked him for his ID then I sat forward and smiled at him. He immediately recognized me and buzzed us in.
"How are you today Ms. Olivia?" asked Charley scratching his beard, he was a very nice older man, he had a wife and 3 kids out of college already.
"I'm alive, so I guess thats good!" I said sarcastically, with a sad smile. He gave me a wink and a wave goodbye, and we were on our way.
My brother's grave was just 5 minutes down the road. It was a pretty quiet place, it had a nice fountain, and some statues. Jace parked the car, and we all just stood there for a little bit.
"You guys can stay here, I won't be gone too long." I said opening the door, and hopping out, they both looked at me, as if I had two heads, but I needed to do this on my own.
I walked through the gates and down the row of Grave-stones. There were way more then there ever was. I came acrossed my brother's aisle and sat down in front of his Head Stone.

Beloved son
I reached into my pocket, and bulled out a small pin. It was a silver frying pan. When I was in 2nd Grade, I won the contest for cooking the most cupcakes and he couldn't find a pin with a cupcake on it, so he got me a frying pan. I giggled to myself, as I wiped the stray tears from my face.
I placed the small pin on his stone, and got up to walk away. Suddenly I saw an older man with a black trench coat, walking towards me. I didn't think anything of it, so I turned the other direction and walked to Jace's car. Halfway to the car I noticed he was still following me.
I fastened my pace a little bit, but the footsteps seemed to keep up with the way I was going. as paranoid as I was I decided to turn around just for a second to see who it was. I turned around and saw a huge scar right across his eye, and his eye itself was yellow. I went to gasp but I bumped into something hard, and screamed.
Facing forward I apologized to the women in front of me, she was wearing a red coat, and had dark beautiful hair. She was wearing sunglasses and when she took them off they relieved her piercing bright blue eyes.
"Watch it you brat!" She hissed, as I ran around her, apologizing, and still keeping an eye on the man. "Damn kids always in a rush to get somewhere." She turned to look at the man was the scar, "What took you so long."
I hadn't realized I stopped and was watching them for a little while, and by the time the man had finished whispering something to her, they both looked at me. "Olivia..?" The women asked turning to me, "Is that your name?" I was shocked, a complete stranger knows me? Maybe she's physic.
I couldn't answer her because in seconds there were hands on my shoulder, and I turned to see an angry Jace. "What seems to be the problem here?" He said moving me to the side and stepping in front of me, blocking me from them.
"Calm down lover boy, I was asking the young lady here what her name was." She hissed putting her sunglasses back on. "Don't worry, we were just going, let's go Smith." And just like that they walked passed us and were gone.
"Who was that?!" Shouted Jace pulling me towards the car, "The man was chasing after you like you had his wallet or something." We both got in the car, and I still hadn't said anything.
"Jace, if I knew who they were, don't you think I would be a little bit happier to see them? They were complete strangers. The woman was a bitch and the guy was a weirdo, nothing else." I said hoping he would calm down.
"You better hope so."
