chapter 1 of my story
I’m sitting in my room waiting for you to walk in and hold me and tell me every things going to be all right.
Well today was a very sad day for me. I was walking to lunch and my phone goes off the wall. But when my phone did go off there was a teacher walking by so I could check my phone.
When I walked into my lunch line my bf walks up behind me and putting his hands on my waist. I checked my phone and there were 15 messages from my mom. I looked at the very first one and read “Honey, Your dad was in a major car crash and he didn’t survive.” It took me a minute to realize that he died, I texted my mom saying “OMG are joking?” And right when I sent that a teacher looks at me and she puts out her hand for my phone and I told her my dad just died and I showed her the message and she walked away.
I ran out of the lunch line crying and ran upstairs. My boyfriend and my friends followed me and when they saw me they gave me a great big hug. I told them why I was crying and they tried to cheer me up.
Days past and the weekend were finally here. I found out I was talking at his Funeral. I didn’t know what to say though. So as we were driving I was writing down what I was going to say, and I finally got a great speech. “Hello my name is Hayden, for most of you know I am a girl and I was named after my Great Great grandpa, My fathers life was taken and it was a great loss to his family. I know I will miss him a lot and he did some amazing things for my mom, He was a wonderful guy and I wonderful dad to his 3 kids Ella Me Hayden, and his only son Chandler. Thank you dad and I love you dad.
My mom was crying because she knew he was great. We were in the car for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
When we finally made it to the funeral house and we walked in and there were a lot of people coming to give us hugs and tell us they are sorry.
I sat in the front so that when I walk up to speak.
It was my turn to speak. I walked up to the black stage and spoke to the people and when I was done there were a lot of people crying.
The service was over and my stomach was growling like a mother bear in attack from someone taking her baby cub. I asked my mom id we could go eat and she said yes. We went to a fast food burger joint. I ordered a double cheese double meat with everything but onions a large coke and a larger curly fries. By the time we left the drive way it was gone.
