Chapter 2:
A restless mind
The next few days were a blur until the viewing. Dressed in a black shirt and a brown striped shirt, Kagome sighed and got into her grandparents car to head up to Bluebonnet Memorial for Souta's viewing. Kagome daydreamed as the ride progressed, thinking about everything and nothing at the same time. Her mind didn't register where she was going and her heart cried to deaf ears. Kagome didn't feel like thinking, she just wanted to stay in her state of oblivious bliss as she stared out the window and ignored everything around her.
She saw the funeral home too soon, as she got out of the car, her feet didn't want to move. Her heart screamed 'NO MORE' while her body moved her towards the building against both her heart and mind's will. Kagome went inside the funeral home and stood before the door to Souta.
'I can't do this,' Kagome thought, 'I don't want to go in there.'
Again, her body wouldn't listen. Her feet dragged her into the door, pasting her weeping family, and up to Souta.
Oh, he was so handsome. Hair spiked just like he always wore it, clothes, ones that Kagome and her mom had picked out, were his new jeans with his senior shirt and and overshirt. It was such a happy day when Souta walked across the platform for his diploma.
Flashback...
Souta had spent his senior year at home, not able to be around people because of his immune system. But he managed and was well enough to walk across the platform that May. Everyone was so proud, screaming for him as they called his name.
"Congratulations Bubba!" Kagome had told him.
He just flashed her a smile that would have melted any girls heart, and she swelled with pride that this was her brother.
"He's so happy," Kagome had thought.
Things went downhill after that.
End Flashback..
Kagome cried as she leaned over to kiss her brother.
"You're so cold," she said as she pulled out a bracelet she had made for him that said 'Bubba'.
"I'm sorry this took so long to make," she leaned over and put it on his wrist next to other ones she had made him and their friendship bracelet, "there, right were it belongs."
Kagome had always made Souta bracelets, and for some unknown reason, he always wore them. One day, he had gone out and came back with 2 black friendship bracelets. One her gave to her and kept the other for himself, neither one of them never took it off. Kagome always promised to make him one that said 'Bubba' on it, and she tried for months, but the beads always broke, she never understood why. The night he died, Kagome went into his room (she had started sleeping in it while he was in the hospital, it was comforting) pulled out her beads, and tried again. It came out perfect.
Kagome stroked her brother's cheek one last time before she left with her family, knowing that the next day was going to be one of the hardest days in her life.
So? Thoughts comments? what did ya'll think? Funeral chapter next.
