Ramsey

I followed her scent and found her by a small secluded bench under the tall, arching trees, a distance away from the funeral hall.

She sat alone, her shoulders hunched with her face buried in her hands as she cried silently. I stood there for a second, staring at her hopelessly. I didn’t know if it was wise to console her or to give her space.

Deciding I needed to give her space, I took a step backwards trying to walk as stealthy as I could so I won’t startle her but suddenly, she looked up. The moment she saw me, she rose to her feet, brushing away her tears and straightening her dress.

She didn’t say a word, but the guarded look on her face said enough. She began to walk away but I chased after her, stepping into her path.

“Lyla… Wait! Please, don’t go.”

She let out a bitter laugh. “Why? Are you here to gloat? To remind me that I don’t fit in too or is it to arrest me and keep me locked up? What is it you want this time around, Ramsey?”

My mind flipped with fear at her insinuations. For a moment, I felt so bad. But I tried not to show it. “I saw you leave the hall… are you alright?”

“Yes!” she said tersely. “Is there no reason I shouldn’t be?”

“Of course not!” I shook my head. “It’s just that, today is your father’s funeral and as someone who has lost his parents, I know how overwhelming this can be and…”

“It’s not overwhelming for me, Ramsey,” she stopped me mid–sentence. “I’m not crying because I miss my father. I actually don’t. I’m crying because I am so angry. I had to listen to everyone come up that stage with fake smiles on their faces painting a picture of my father that I don’t know of. That’s why I cried.”
