Chapter 22 – Why him

“Hey you” Aden said, as he walked down the stairs and stood in the hallway, his hair dripping wet and a towel wrapped around the bottom half of his body

“Aden” Belle said uneasily, having been snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of his voice

“Yes, who were you expecting” Aden replied with a small chuckle

“Erm, can you sit down, I have to tell you something” Belle said, placing her hand on the seat and indicating for Aden to sit there

“What” Aden replied, leaning against the staircase

“ADEN, JUST SIT DOWN” Belle shouted in frustration, as a few tears escaped from her eyes. This was certainly going to be difficult to tell him

“Belle, what is it” Aden asked, instantly moving away from the staircase and sitting down next to her.

“Its…. its your brother Sean” Belle managed to say, as she felt a lump form in her throat. How was she supposed to tell Aden that his older brother, someone that Aden always looked up to, was gone

“Belle, what about him” Aden asked, squeezing Belle’s hand tightly

“He’s dead” Belle finally managed to say, as Aden instantly let go of her hand and stared blankly at the wall in front of him

“Aden” Belle said, scared that he hadn’t spoken

“How did it happen” Aden asked, still staring at the wall

“He was in a car accident, I’m so sorry Aden” Belle said, attempting to hold Aden’s hand as the tears began to roll quickly down Aden’s cheeks.

“NO, HE CANT HAVE, HE CANT HAVE” Aden shouted, sobbing uncontrollably

It was now the morning, but Aden hadn’t slept a wink that night. How could he, he couldn’t get used to the fact that his brother was no longer here.

“Hey, how are you doing” Belle asked, grabbing a cup of coffee from the kitchen and handing it to him

Aden didn’t reply, he just remained silent

“So what time is the funeral” Belle asked, hoping for a response

“Midday” Aden replied

“Do you still want me to go with you” Belle asked

“Of course I do” Aden replied, looking Belle directly in her eyes “I couldn’t do it without you Belle”

Belle and Aden pulled up outside the cemetery, as the rain pounded against the little blue car. Belle turned off the engine and glanced over to Aden, who was just staring out of the window

“Aden” Belle said softly, taking hold of his hand, which was rested on his lap

Aden turned his head and saw Belle’s hand on top of his, before he looked up at her, his eyes filled with tears

“I don’t know if I can do this Belle” Aden muttered

“Of course you can do this Aden, your strong enough to do it, and I will be with you every step of the way” Belle said, squeezing his hand even tighter as Aden left her words comfort him

Aden weakly smiled at her before opening the car door and stepping out into the pounding rain. Belle quickly did the same and pulled an umbrella out of the backseat before using it to shelter herself. After locking the car, she raced around to Aden and used the umbrella to shelter him as well.

She held his hand as they both walked up the steep hill and approached the coffin. Aden glanced around but there was hardly anybody there. There was a woman there, probably an old girlfriend and a young adult male, mid-20’s, probably a friend. But there was no sign of Justin or Larry.

The funeral was over quickly, and the guest cleared even quicker, but Aden stayed behind. He approached the big hole where the coffin now lay and knelt down beside it

“Sean, I can’t believe you’re gone. I miss you already. I know that since you went to jail, we lost contact, but I never stopped thinking about you. You’re my big brother…and….and…I love you” Aden said, breaking down in tears as the last few words fell out of his mouth

“Aden” Belle said softly, carefully approaching him and placing the umbrella over him, stopping the rain falling on top of him

Aden wiped away his tears and stood up straight, wrapping his arm around Belle’s waist and hugging her tightly. After a few minutes in the warm embrace, Aden pulled away

“Ready to go” Aden asked

“Are you sure, Aden” Belle asked

Aden didn’t answer, he just headed straight to Belle’s car, with Belle chasing behind him, trying to catch up.

Belle opened the car doors and Aden immediately jumped inside. Belle did the same and started up the engine. She began to reverse out of the cemetery as Aden took one last look at the cemetery, when he noticed a dark figure walking across the graveyard, stopping outside Sean’s coffin, standing in exactly the same spot Aden stood in just a few moments ago

“Belle stop” Aden demanded, as Belle quickly slammed down the brakes

As soon as the car has stopped, Aden jumped out of the car and raced up to the figure. Belle shouted after him but he was gone

As Aden reached the figure, he was shocked to see how it was

“You”
