It's a dark Wednesday for me. My dad is going to be buried today. My heart breaks each time I think of it.
Dressed up in a black tuxedo that clinked to my body, and a dark sunshade, I walk out of my room, ignoring everyone that tries to talk to me. I go straight to the kitchen, pour myself a glass of fruit punch and down all of it. I hear footsteps behind me, I don't move.
"Hey." I hear a tiny voice beside me. It's Annie. I turn around to see Annie's cheeks filled with tears. Her arm is wrapped around a tall, built man.
