The next morning I decided not to go to school but I made Hanna go, I didn't want her to fall behind because of me. I sat in the kitchen staring off into space while my coffee went cold; I tried to think of something to do. I had the whole house to myself until Hanna got sick of school, got worried about me or finished for the day. I had made Ashley also go to work, she had a job to do and it wasn't to look after me.

I felt tears start to roll down my eyes and I just allowed them to fall and before long it turn into a full blown cry. A cry that I really need and when better then while by myself where no one could hear me or be worried about me. I just need to cry and not hold it in anymore. I heard or read somewhere or from Spencer that crying was good, it helped.

I didn't really understand how it helped you but right now I thought to give it a shot. I still hadn't opened the letter or gone back to the house, my home, where I grew up with my parents. Where Mum we shout at me for not cleaning my room. I giggled to myself as I cried, imaging all those times when Dad and I would sneak out after dinner to go get desert since Mum wouldn't allow us to eat that stuff.

Dad was always a push-over, I was daddy's little girl and I could do no wrong. I remember Dad returning for a week he came to my swim meet and watched me swim; I remember hearing him cheer the loudest. I could hear his booming voice cheering for me under the water, I would smile and swim faster just for him. I remember Mum and I sitting down talking about everything and anything, about my life and about hers.

I didn't know how I was going to leave on without them, how do you just move on? I pulled down the sleeves of my jumper and start whipping furiously at my tears to make the stop but they wouldn't. Now that I've start, I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to stop. I sat there in the kitchen for I don't know how long just crying, trying to stop but I couldn't; I guess it was something that need to happen. I heard the doorbell quickly whipping the tears away as fast as I could before standing and making my way to the front door.

Opening the door I was immediately had arms wrapping around me and I could smell my Grandma's perfume. I took a deep inhale of her scent before wrapping my arms around her was well; over her shoulder I could see my Grandpa standing there. My Grandma step back after the hug and my Grandpa step forward almost picking me up but didn't because of his bad back. Once the hugs were done they both stood there, I then quickly invited them in which they did. Asking them if they want a drink or something to eat but they said no so we went into the living room to sit down.

Grandpa asked "Aren't you supposed to be in school?"

I answered with "Yeah I am, I just couldn't go today. I was only able to manage half day yesterday but I couldn't go today."

Grandma smiled sadly at me and said "We understand but your parents wouldn't want your school to be affected by this."

I replied with "I know they wouldn't and I won't be gone for long maybe just for this week or for today I don't know."

Grandpa asked "What's you support network here?"

I answered with "The whole town knows since it was on the news but I have my friends and I met someone yesterday going through the same thing."

Grandpa said "Really? She lost her parents too."

I replied with "No only her Dad but still that's a lot to lose."

Grandpa nodded and asked "Where are the people who live here?"

I answered with "Hanna is at school I didn't want her grades to suffer, but she could come home if she gets bored or gets too worried about me that she can't concentrate and her Mum Ashley is at work."

Grandma said "That's good; Hanna must really care about you."

I replied with "Yeah she my best friend and I am hers. She has been helping me get through it a lot."

Grandpa said "That's very good Emily. The funerals have all been arranged they will happen at the same time next week Wednesday at 11:30am."

I nodded and replied with "Okay," hopefully I would be ready for that.

Grandpa asked "Have you been home yet?"

I answered with "No I'm not ready; I've been borrowing Hanna's clothes."

Grandpa said "You have to face it sometime."

I said back "I know I'm just not ready yet."

Grandma nodded and said "We understand which is why the two of us are going to live there until you are ready."

I replied with "But don't you have to get back."

Grandpa said "And what leave you here alone, I don't think so and it's already been decided Emily."

I nodded my head and replied with "Okay I guess," we sat around talking for the next few hours before Grandma started to get tired from the jet lag and they left for my old house; telling me they would bring me some clothes next time they came over.
