Memories Come Alive.

Chapter 1.

Sophie POV:

I sat in my seat, tears forming in my eyes. Everyone around me was crying. My grandma lay in the coffin, being lowered into the ground.

This was my grandma. Grandma Ruby Louise Maddison. I always loved her name. You could call any of the 3 names and they would always work. You couldn't call me Farmer though could you? No. Somedays she would be Ruby, Sometimes Lou-Lou and sometimes Maddy. But Most of the time Ruby. Although back in her day things were different.

Grandma died alone. She had a love though. Her true love. They were in love. His Name was Edward. I never got any further than that though. She either didn't want to talk about it anymore or just.. something came up.

The ceremony finished. Everyone stood and made their way out. We stood and waited. We waved goodbye, my mother, she was crying the most. This was her mom, well her adopted mom. As I said she died alone. Though she always pretended it was Edward's though we knew it wasn't. I've always wondered about this Edward. I want to meet him, if he's still alive. Probably not. He would be over 100. He was born in 1901. It's 2002 now. Just over 100. Grandma was 98. He would have died years ago.

I Miss Grandma. Her stories. The way we did everything together. Taking me shopping. Being much too kind. She always spoiled us and mom got cross at her, but never really.

I want her back. I began to cry again. My little brother next to me started crying. He is only 4. He barely knew her. I felt sorry for him. I put him onto my lap and pulled him into a hug.

He sniffed and wiped his nose on my sleeve

"Grandma's Gone. She's not coming back is she Sophie?" He sniffled.

I nodded gravely. I didn't really want to answer that. I don't think I could face the truth. It was too depressing. It was a depressing death. She was healthy, she was fine. She had a random heart attack out of the blue just from old age and went. It was a shock to everyone. No one was expecting it. Even though she was old. Really old. but Perfectly healthy.

We got up to leave. We slowly piled into the car. The drive home was silent, except for the sniffling of Jake in the corner.

I went straight up to my bedroom and put my face into my pillow and screamed. This was the only way I could do it.

I screamed and screamed and screamed into my pillow. Once I felt my face had gone all red and my eyes were all puffy from the crying. My hair had fallen everywhere but I didn't care anymore. I'd had enough.

It was my birthday in 3 days. And this had to happen. I wish it could have waited just a bit longer. Grandma would have been here for my to turn 13. She had been telling me about 13. She said she got her first kiss from edward at 13. It was a big day. She said I would meet someone that day. I wouldn't know. She was gone. There was no-one there for me.

A knock on my door brought me back to attention.

"Sophie, can I come in?" My mums voice came the door.

"Uh huh" I replied.

She walked in holding a book.

"Sophie, Grandma left you this. She said, that-that, that if she didn't live until you were 13. You were to get this. On your birthday. I just think, that now seems like a more appropriate moment for it, as, you know," She shut her eyes tight and opened them slowly to continue

"That, I think you should have it, I'm not actually sure what it is, She wrapped in this brown paper and ribbon to say only for you. She said it was too late for me, but I didn't really understand so, here it is." Mum finished.

"Thanks mum." I responded. Still not looking.

I heard her place the package on the bed and walk out the room shutting the door behind her.

I turned around from the window and picked up the package. It was a thick little book. I carefully undid the ribbon and slowly pulled off the paper. It smelled of Grandma. I stored the paper and ribbon in a Pretty box. I would store it and not let it go. It should stay like this.

I turned the book over. ' The Diary of Ruby Louise Maddison 1915 - 1918' When Grandma was 13. I whispered to myself.

This would have everything from...Edward. I quickly opened the front page. She had drawn pictures, there were photos.

I gasped the photos. Edward was the most amazingly handsome person I had ever seen.

I mentally slapped myself. You getting a crush on your grandma's love! STOP IT. he is over a 100 years old. He is not attractive.

He had short-ish hair. The photo was in black and white. Grandma had written a description next to him

"The Most amazing Green eyes, Golden, bronze hair. Amazing body. Strong. Extremely fast runner. And, he can always tell what I'm thinking, it's like he can read my mind, but my face gives away everything.

Truly, and Honestly I am in love with Edward Anthony Masen. And the amazing thing is, is that he is in love with me. "

I read his name over and over again.

Edward Anthony Masen. Edward Anthony Masen. Edward Anthony Masen. Edward Anthony Masen.

I was going to find out about him. I needed to know more. I needed to read this diary, like question 1. If they were in love, why, why did Grandma die alone?
