Chapter 12: The Funeral

"Oh um hi. What are you doing here"

"I just.." He hesitates.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I acted like an ass"

Then there's just a pause. I don't know how to respond.

"How did you know I lived here?"

"I uh asked Caylas parents. I just I shouldn't have been rude to you back in the hospital. I was out of line"

I look down at the floor avoiding eye contact.

"Ok I forgive you I guess. "

"Alright well I guess I'll see ya. Maybe. Bye"he awkwardly waves goodbye and walks out the door to his prized motorcycle.

Ugh I hate him. I hate him for apologizing so now I can't really hate him.

But there's another reason to hate him. He's a liar.

The next morning I wake up and decide I have to go to school. I can't keep missing.

So I drag myself out of bed and get ready.

I go downstairs to have breakfast. I decide on making a strawberry smoothie.

I cut up the berries add milk and ice and blend it all up.

When its done I put it into a to go cup and walk out the door. Out to the driveway and into my car.

When I try to start up the engine its not starting. Ugh!!

I bought it with my own money because I didn't want my dad to have to buy me one.

Probably should have taken a car from my dad. I sigh and get out my phone calling the lady who cleans our house.

She's very friendly and lives close she should have no problem driving.

She shows up and takes me to school. I make it just in time. 

I finished my smoothie in the car ride over so I shove the empty cup into my locker.

Then I start running towards first period. I make it right as my teacher is closing the door.

I slip in and walk towards my desk.

Everything goes good until my class with Jessica.

I'm walking to my desk when suddenly I face plant onto the floor.

"Ow" I screech out.

All I hear is laughter. I jump up as quick as I fell and walk over to my seat making eye contact with no one.

Everyone is still laughing when class starts. Why do I even bother?

Every time I go to school something always happens. I find tears slowing rolling down my cheeks.

I look up and see Jessica staring at me. Her icy glare has almost no emotion.

For lunch I hide behind the school bleachers. I pick up my phone and call my dad.

"Hello"

"Hey Daddy. My car is broken"

"Aww sweetie you should have called me earlier. I would have gotten you a rental."

"Its fine I got a ride. I just don't know what I'm going to do about my car"

"Oh don't worry honey, it'll all work out. Do you have a ride home?"

"Yes Wanita is giving me one."

"That's nice of her. Remind me to give her a bonus this month. "

"Ok well that's all. I just wanted to let you know about my car."

"Alright sweetie. I love you bye"

"Bye, I love you too"

I always make sure to say I love you to my dad. You never know when he'll be gone. Like my mom.

Flashback**

"We are gathered here today to rember an amazing woman. She has a hard worker and a great mother and wife...." On and on I'm not listening.

Its all too real. My mom is gone. That's it. She was there and now she's not.

The podium is open if anyone wants to make a speech. One after one people say nice things.

I think I've heard the word I'm sorry so much I want to puke.

I hate it. Why would all these people say I'm sorry. They didn't kill my mom. Did they?

So please stop saying I'm sorry.

I feel a warm hand on my shoulder and I look up.

I jump into my best friends arms and we both just sit there. Hugging.

"Alison, we're in this together."

And then people start clearing out. Eventually Cayla has to leave to. And then it's just me and my dad.

That was when I realized that it was over. My mom was never coming back.

I would never cry on her shoulder. Never hug her. Never say things I wish I could take back.

She was gone.

I walked up to her casket got one last look at my lifeless mother, put down a pair of roses, closed it and ran home.
