Chapter 1
The news of life and death...
"It is true honey. I'm so sorry but it is!" My mom said trying to comfort me in anyway possible as if she were helping it at all. Not. She had just told me that my Grandpa Lance had died of a heart attack. Of course I found it hard to believe it's my grandfather. He was my best friend of course I don't want to believe it at all. I had fallen down on my butt on the second stair crying. I had just seen him just two days ago and he was fine. He had come over to continue my lesson. It was his passion to play piano and he has shown me that it is for me too. I love how my hands just feel so you know right against the keys. Well back to the story now. Now I know what is coming next.
"Now the funeral is in two days in Illinois. We will have to drive. I can't afford plane tickets now. And besides this will be a chance for us to have some bonding time. And maybe we can have more road trip after the funeral and our visit." she said trying to be cheerful even though she had tears leaking from her green eyes as she held me in her arms. She was like that. Always wanting bonding time when she knows we are just way to different to have a "bond". I am so not in the mood for a stuffy country music filled road trip. I hate I repeat HATE country music. Why did my family have to be like almost all redneck? I have no idea about that but I do know that this is not going to be fun or at least that's what I think...
