He stopped to take in another huge breath before continuing
"She was so brave but I also wonder why she didn't talk to me.We could've searched for a cure, anything to prolong her life.I would've provided for her.Why,why didn't she come talk to me".His voice was breaking.This was hard on both of us
I move closer to him and rest my head on his shoulders
"I understand ".I said teary eyed
"it's gonna be okay".I said as I got up and head upstairs,to cry my eyes out
Next day

Weird,the new girl didn't come today.i wonder why, maybe she's given up on this school
The encounter yesterday with that girl has been on my mind,I would like to see her face though,maybe she's even in my class
The bell for lunch rang and I hastily rushed to the cafeteria.i was starving, didn't eat this morning I was already late to school.i grab a tray and get my food
hmm,where to seat.I don't want to seat anywhere near the popular kids cos they're just gonna tease me and I don't want to sit near the nerds cos then I'll be known as a nerd.
I'll just sit in the middle,ok let's see the popular kids mostly sit in front and the nerds at the back so I'll just sit in the middle
I walk over to an empty table and make myself comfortable." I don't think this would be enough for me".I mutter under my breath as I glance at the food before me
Then I'll just have to leave school immediately after the bell today.I quickly finish my food and head out before the cafeteria becomes packed

"is there a problem honey".Mum said after settling down
"Yes,I'm sure you know aunt Claire is dead".I stated not bothering to hide the annoyance
"yes honey,we were aware".she said after a few moments of silence
"Then why didn't you tell me ?".I asked and for some reason I can feel myself crying,Almost like my heart is being squeezed by something
"Honey,we didn't want to disturb you.The time she died you were writing your exams and we possibly couldn't disturb you".Mum explained, looking at dad to put in some words but he just nodded and placed his head on her shoulder
"okay,what of after I finished my exams,why couldn't you tell me ?".This time I looked at dad,he should also answer my question
"To say the truth honey,we weren't sure whether to tell you or not ".He said glancing at mum nervously
"why wouldn't you tell me.she is my aunt for fucks sake!!".I exclaimed losing my cool
