the wake

December

Waking Wednesday- today was the day of Cassie's wake. In school I got called down with a lot of the girls from the soccer team and the drama club, hearing about all of their ideas on how to incorporate Cassie into their activities.

Lots of sad deaths have happened in this town, and now it's Cassie's time. She had on a blue dress, one of her rings on her fingers and makeup that didn't match her skin. I brought the see-glass I stole from her when we were a lot younger. Then she opened her eyes, sat up and put the object in her mouth  no she didn't, the coffin was then empty, after I shoved the old g;ass back into her pale hand. Elijah, the guy who works at the motel that Cassie died in comes up behind me and Cassie's parents wait for me to come up to them. Elijah tells them about how sorry we are, then takes me out of there-

Somehow, I ended up at the diner with Elijah, who ordered me hot chocolate. He ordered us food and it smelled so good I needed a taste  which I would not be touching. Well, I did eat 2 french fries at the end, and drank the hot chocolate. Somehow, I kind of don't regret it.
