Alex's POV
Everyone quickly did there job. There was nothing left to do here...
I went to comfort Emmett. I knew how hard it was to lose someone you love. They might not have been the nicest person to you, but you love them anyways. Just like I loved my father... And I was the death of him. I only wanted him to stop drinking, was that so much to ask for? I even wrote a poem when I was twelve years old, I had it memorized because it was written by my heart:
Dear Dad
I hear the crack of another can open,
So I run outside and start to cry,
Minutes that seem are hours soon pass by,
You're drunk again not a surprise,
I'm writing this now to ask you to stop,
I've asked you before but you did not,
I've begged you to quit but as soon as I'm gone you pop off another top,
As you drink I cry,
Years and years soon pass by,
You still drink and I still cry,
So now it's time for me to say goodbye,
I can't live while you drink your days away,
Because right now my tears are at bay,
My letter is done,
Yes it's complete,
You can go drink in peace,
My tears are gone,
For now at least.
(A/N: Yes, this was actually written by FeedTheFoxes! Sad isn't it? Well, anyways I have to say that this poem is not mine. It is Haley's -FeedTheFoxes- My poems are more like sad little attempts like roses are red sort of thing... Oh and it is actually in a book! She entered it in a contest and now its on the first page of a book!! I have no idea what book, that would be a good thing to message her about...)
I gulped back the tears that threatened to escape. Sapphire always said that I was the 'good' outcome of what I had been through. I was successful and didn't allow my past to control my life. Unlike most people who are stuck in my situation and drink, and smoke, etc. I suppose I was the 'good' outcome if there even was one. Now that I think back, life would have been so much easier if 'My Past' would have been different. But it wasn't. When life gives you lemons throw them at passing people and demand that they trade you cookies. Oh... Is that the wrong saying?? Well I know I got the lemon part right. But I still like the ending. Lets stick with it! I would have to share this with Emmett.
"Hey Emmett?" I asked.
"Him...?" not such a good answer, he was still dry sobbing.
"How does that lemon saying go?" I asked, I still wanted to know what the real saying was.
"Umm... I don't know, what did you think it was?" he looked at me.
"Well, I was just thinking about the saying and it just sounded right to say 'When life gives you lemons throw them at passing people and demand that they trade you cookies..." I smiled, "I like cookies better than lemons." Everyone laughed. What is so freakin' funny about that!!??
"Aren't you wishers hungry?" Esme asked.
"YES! I THOUGHT YOU WOULD NEVER ASK!!" Austrella yelled. She got over what just happened pretty fast...
"Well then, lets get you girls some food!" Esme insisted. "What would you like?"
"A simple sandwich sounds nice." Acebo suggested.
"Ok." Esme started to walk into the house. I grimaced. Leave it to Acebo to choose something simple.
Author's Note: I know you are probably wondering why Alex doesn't like sandwiches right? Well, I guess you will find out in the next chapter wont you?
