Chapter.3
Early Saturday morning the smell of eggs bacon and toast was cleaning out the house. Corey and his mom walked in the kitchen with their all black on with faces of pain but eyes of joy. "Hey mom" Corey said. "Hey baby Mrs. Baxter said and walk to him with a little smile on her face. "Hey baby "Mr. Baxter said and kissed her on the forehead. She sat down and looked at Corey. Where is your sister she asked? "Still in her room I guess." Can you go and get her so we can say grace and eat. "'Yes", Corey what up the stairs silent and slow. He knocked on her door with a gentle bang, he got no answer. He tried one more time. Yes, uh raven mom said come down stairs so we can say grace and eat, but she didn't reply back. So he left her alone and went back down stairs. Mommy she said nothing it was just pure silent. She sat silent and looked at the floor for a minute and breathes hard as she began to bless the food. In the middle of Mrs. Baxter saying grace she heard a door opening from up stairs as she was ending g the grace a big grin appeared on her face because she was glad to her that door open. No one heard or saw of raven in four days and that brought a lot stress and depression in the house hold. She walked the stairs sluggish as usually, spoke to no one and felled the room with hurt and depression. "Raven sweetie" Mrs. Baxter said. Don't you need to be ready for the funeral? "I'm not going" she said with a angry voice and walked back to her room and slammed the door. Raven's mom got up after eating and went to her room. She knock soft but fast she got know answer so she walked on in. Raven was sitting on the bed with her face planted I her hands. Ravens mother said are you sure yo don't want to go? Yes she said with a calm low voice. I bet if he was standing here right now he would tell you to go. Raven didn't move a muscle or even move her lips to speak and she didn't remove her face from her hands every since her mother entered her room. Her mother felt like she couldn't do anything else to change ravens mind. So she got up and went down stairs and said are you guys ready they said yeah and they all went to the car. When the car doors finally closed and raven heard the engine start she looked up. When they drove off she through her body back and just laid there until she fell into a deep sleep. Raven raven what is you doing why you not at my funeral. Davon is it really you oh baby what happened I been so depressed and sad. I could eat or sleep. Don't lie to me. What is you talking about. You sleep right now ( he began to laugh) she smile. Baby gets up and goes to my funeral and don't be sad. I'm in a better place right now and having fun. Now get up and get dress now before you are late. Okay baby I love you, I love you too.
