Friday
*beep**beep**beep*

I woke up turning my alarm off and sat up. Today's the day I bury my mom that's crazy to think about. I rolled over to see Brandon asleep. " babe " I said shaking him lightly. " hmm " he groaned. " it's time to get up " I said. " I don't want to " he said. " why not " I asked. " because I'm hoping that if I sleep I'll wake up from this nightmare and your mom will be downstairs cooking all of us breakfast " he said. " I wish but sadly it doesn't work that way " I said. " ugh fine I'll get up " he said sitting up. I looked around the room and memories flooded my mind making me look down. " hey baby it's gonna be ok " Brandon said holding me. " I miss her like crazy b " I said crying. " Ik we all do and today is going to be hard it is but we have to push through it " he said. " I don't know if I can " I said. " u can do it I know u can " he said. " no babe I can't " I said crying even harder. " baby yes u can do it for Dylan u still have him " he said. I looked up at him and kissed his cheek. " thank u " I said. " I'd do anything for u " he said making me smile. " now come on it's time to get up " tif said making Brandon and I look at the door. " how long have u guys been standing there " I asked. " long enough " Zion said. " whatever let's just start getting ready for this horrible day " I said getting out of bed.
