Forty- one

"Max. ..?Max" someone called out as I jolted awake. I opened my eyes and I could see the bright blue sky with cotton candy like clouds and birds flying and chirping. I looked around for the source of the voice and nearly had a heart attack when my eyes landed on someone I didn't think I'll see again ever.

"Mum....?" I said slowly staring at her like I've seen a ghost well I guess i have now "no no no I can't be dead" I sat up quickly pushing myself off the floor.

"Maxine..." My mum said as tears welled up in my eyes. "You can't be here baby you can't " she said as she ,came close to me.

"Honey" my dad voice sounded from behind me and I turned around locking eyes with my dad.

"Dad!" I ran to him and hugged him oh how I missed him. He hugged me and held me close as I felt my mum's hands around me too. We stayed like that for a while crying happy tears. If I can feel and touch them like this, I have to be dead and I can't be dead.

I mean what even happened what about Damian.

"My mate"
