We finally got to lunch without any problems. I go up to the sandwich bar with Anne following behind. I get a ham sandwich and she grabs the same. We pay then hurry to my usual spot.
We go to the outside commons and sit on the grass underneath a tree. And start eating.
Hopefully Ash isn't in my lunch.
While I'm halfway through my sandwich I hear someone approach from behind me.
"Hey Jayne, may I sit here?" I hear Ash's deep voice ask me.
"Sure why not." I reply sarcastically. I look over at Anne and notice that she really hasn't eaten anything.
"Hey Anne are you okay? You have barely touched your sandwich." I ask worried.
"Ya. I'm fine. I'm just not that hungry." She tells me.
"Okay." I say skeptically
"So Jay, have you thought about my question?" Ash askes.
No because I really don't care.
" Ya." I reply not voicing my thoughts.
"What's your answer?" He pushes.
" Sure, why not." I tell him completely uninterested. And right after I tell him that the bell rings.

The dragged on and I just wanted to go home. Anne looked really nervous throughout the day. I felt sorry for her.
Throughout the day my mom kept texting me about the room in the basement and turning it into a bedroom for Anne. Which I refuse from happening. I'm not going to allow Vincent's room to change in anyway. It's still the same way he left it.

I sit in my room waiting for Vin to sign on to Skype. I miss my brother so much I wish he could just quit the military and come home. After waiting two more hours I give up. I walk downstairs to talk to mom but I hear the phone ring and answer it.
"Harrison residence."
"Hello this is Sergeant Michaelson from the US Army. We have some sad news. Private Harrison was with his platoon driving the HumV and didn't see an IED on the ground. I'm sorry ma'am but there was no survivor's." He tells me. After he finishes I drop the phone and run down to the basement and lunch myself onto Vin's bed. This can't be happening. It can't be true. This is just some bad dream and when I wake up Vincent will be alive. This can't be true. This can't be true. And then I fell asleep.
**********************************
Finally the final bell rang and Anne and I rush out of there to the bus stop. We get on the bus and wait for it to stop at my house. Once it does we notice my mom's car in the drive way. We rush off the bus and into the house. I see Jo and ask him where mom is. "She is in Vin's old room sis." He answers.
No, she can't be.
I rush downstairs and see her sitting on his bed with tears on her face. I walk to the bed to sit down next to her. We just sit there in silence until she speaks. "I miss him to Jay. But we need to try to go on. He would want us to be happy." "I know mom. It's just hard." I tell her.
"I know honey. But we have to try."
I know she's right but I don't want to let go. After a while she gets up and leaves and I stay down in his room. I'm thinking about everything. I end up laying down and falling asleep.
