(For starters I realized that I changed her grandma's conditions from being in a coma and not waking up to being severely injured and won't live much longer. I have chosen to continue with the latter of the two. Also, I want to apologize for taking this long to update and promise that I will try to update more this summer!)

The next morning, my parents woke me up, "Sage, breakfast is ready!" I smiled despite the current situation, "I'm up; be down in a minute." Since it was cloudy outside, I decided to wear a sweater dress with leggings and then hopped on down the stairs. My mom had placed the orange juice on the counter so I proceeded to pour each of us a glass and set them at the table. As we both sat down my mom raised a curious eyebrow, "So…who is this David?" I blushed as an image of him formed in my mind, "He's my boyfriend." My blush deepened into a crimson color as I tried not to look at her while I drank my juice. She motioned for me to continue so I did, "He and his family just moved into town about three weeks ago." Dad gave me a look while placing eggs and bacon on our plates, "And he already has boyfriend status?" I sighed knowing full well what he was addressing, "Dad, I know…but he's like a magnet. His whole family is really, and they are all quite welcoming. Plus, they all seem to like me, I'm pretty sure they even beat up Ricky after a scene he caused in the mall." I began to eat my breakfast when he placed a hand on my shoulder, I looked up into his eyes, "Just be careful, sweet pea." I gave him a small smile, "I will dad."

Afterwards we made our way to the hospital, where we found grandma talking the nurses' ear off. I looked out towards the oncoming rain clouds before sitting down in a chair close to the bed. With the nurse gone, grandma began to talk to us about her dream the previous night, "Oh it was absolutely wonderful. Jerry was waiting for me the gates to Heaven and then we went and worshipped our Lord together." My heart stopped for a second at the thought but I gave her an outward smile. The nurse came back after a few hours and dismissed us, "I'm sorry but she needs her rest." Instead of driving home, my parents thought that we should stop by grandmas' house to see what all they had to look forward to messing with.

My mom used the extra key under the herb pot to open the door. I sighed sitting on the couch as they went room to room. Grandma didn't have many possessions left. After grandpa passed away she sold most of what they owned. Bored from waiting on my parents, I made my way to the library; or what used to be the spare bedroom. I reached for a book on the top shelf but stopped as the corner of my eye caught sight of something. It was an enveloped size box, ornate in design. I sat down at the writing desk and began to open it, "now, why haven't I ever seen you before?" Shuffling through the contents, my heart began to beat faster. The box contained letters and photos of the 'vegetarian vampires' that my grandma had mentioned the day before. They stayed in touch with her as she had helped them out on a few occasions. I left the room and went back to the car as my head hurt from this new information. Back at home we received a telephone call…my grandma had passed away a few moments before. I crawled into bed letting the grief carry me into a deep sleep. Over the next few days I helped organize the funereal and contact family members. Saturday, we buried her.
