The funeral was in the next five days
and i could barley talk to anyone. I spoke maybe a sentence these
last days. I couldnt help but think god was punishing me for
acting the way i did. This opened my eyes. My grandpa said
'hed be watching me from heaven,' and i was going to make
him proud.
"Hi darling" I was sitting down around the casket when
my dad came and sat next to me. I nodded my head.
"Hes with your mom now, in a better place."
Yeah he was with my mom, but she could have easily been here.
"Dont be telling me that shes with grandpa, she didnt have a
choice of dieing you killed her yourself." I couldnt belive
the words that came out of my mouth, i walked away before i could
see any of his face expressions or hear his response. I went to
the bathroom, into a stall.
"I cant handle this anymore."i whispered and then dug
around in my purse not being able to see through the tears, i
felt around for my pocket knife. I took it out opened it and
stuck it right up to my throat.
I was a hypocrite, i looked down to those who tried killing
themselves, but i finally knew how they felt, weak, miserable,
vulnerable. I kept losing people in my life.
When i was about to pull back i hear footsteps and my stall slams
open.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!" It was Conner, what was
he doing in here? I looked right up into those blue eyes, dropped
the knife "im sorry." i busted into more tears, he
kneeled down and cradled me.
"I seen you run into the mens bathroom and was confused on
what you were doing." I didnt even realize what bathroom i
was in i just wanted to kill myself and get it done with.
"Taking your life isnt something you should do like a time
as this, your grandma needs you. I need you.."
I stopped sobbing and completely watering Conners shirt. I wipeed
my nose with my shirt, "You need me?"
"Yeah i do." He looked away when he said this. "My
moms, shes a drug addict and my dad left her when he found out
when she was pregnant. Seeing you lose your mom and now your
grandpa and not having a good relationship with your dad i kinda
look up to you, i dont really have anyone and neither do
you but you seem so strong by yourself..."
I couldnt belive what i heard. Im actually helping someone in
there life?
"Im glad you told me that, and thanks for stopping me."
I wrapped my arms around him and held him for the longest
time.
"We should get going, people are gonna wonder where we
are." He un wrapped his arms off me and helped me up. I
walked out of the bathroom with him behind me not letting go of
his hand. I spotted my grandma, in a chair infront of the casket,
head down. I looked at Conner and let go of his hand and sat next
to my grandma.
"Hey grandma." I put my hand on her leg, hopeing to
ease the tension.
She looked at me with blood shot eyes, "I already miss him.
I miss his laugh i miss his smile, he was the only man never to
let me down. I didnt realize how much i really did love
him." She paused before she continued then looked down
again, "I cant stand being away from him, he was the love of
my life." I could barley hear the last words she spoke. I
pulled her face up to look at me.
"Look i love you more than i could tell you, you have me and
WE will get through this." Her eyes filled with tears.
"Yes, yes i have you." She reached her arms around my
back.
We will get through this, because now...i have two guradian
angels watching over me.
