"Bye, hun. We'll see you in a few days." Ava said, giving her oldest nephew a hug. Bradin, Marissa, Ava, Michael, Lindsay and Nikki were standing in the airport saying goodbye to Marissa and Bradin. When they heard the last call for their flight, they said their goodbyes again, and got on the plane. Once they were up in the air for a few minutes, Marissa sighed and got a magazine out of her backpack. Bradin turned towards her and lifted her head up with his finger.

"It's gonna be okay." He said, giving her a small smile. He grabbed her hand, gave it a squeeze and kissed it softly. Marissa moved closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder, falling asleep shortly after.

Bradin P.O.V

Our plane arrived at 2:30 pm, and even though it was the middle of the day, Marissa and I were both exhausted. When we got to the hotel, it was 3:15, and by the time we checked in, unpacked our things, it was almost 4:00.

Marissa and I were watching TV, when she asked a question that I would have never guessed she would ask.

"Bradin?"

"Hmm?" I responded.

"Can we go visit my mom?" I was shocked. I was totally not expecting this, but I knew I had to say yes. I could already see a tear about to fall free from her left eye.

"Sure," I said, kissing her tear away. I grabbed her hand and got up, bringing her up with me. She giggled quietly. Oh, how I have missed her laugh and smile so much.

Aunt Ava rented a car for us, so we got a cab to the car rental place. We got the car, and were on out way.

When we got to the cemetery where Marissa's mom was buried, I was prepared to go get a map, but Marissa remembered exactly where her mom laid to rest. Marissa told me where to go, and I drove through the quiet cemetery. As we were approaching the correct spot, Marissa took a deep breath. I stopped, turned off the car, and walked over to the passenger side. Before I got the chance to open the door, Marissa reached for the handle and did it herself. She completely ignored me, and walked slowly and silently to her mother's grave. I followed.

We were both standing in front of Marissa's mom's tomb, that read: 'Kelly Elizabeth Johnson. Loved wife, daughter, sister, mother, and friend to many.'

I grabbed Marissa's hand and squeezed it. She squeezed back, looking up to face me. I saw the hurt in her eyes and the tears flowing, and my heart just melted. I put my one of my hands on her back and the other on the back of her neck, and pulled her close to me. She wrapped her arms around me tightly and sobbed into my chest. After what seemed like an eternity of Marissa crying and murmuring 'It's not fair' over and over, when in reality was only about ten minutes, Marissa seemed to calm down, but occasionally let out whimpers. I kissed her forehead slowly, and moved down to her lips. She returned the kiss, and spoke.

"I'm scared."

"Of what, baby?" I questioned.

"Losing you."

"Oh, baby you will never lose me. I promise." I kissed her again, and took her hand in mine and we walked to the car.
