Today’s Prompt: Write about a loss: something (or someone) that was part of your life, and isn’t any more. Make today’s post the first in a three-post series.
I was crying so hard when my sister joins me in our tiny living room.
“What happened? Why are you crying so hard that your nose is red as a tomato?” She asks me gently, trying to amuse me as well.
“Nothing, I am okay.” I stop crying and wipe the tears from my face.
“You look everything but okay. C’mon, you know you can trust me with anything. I won’t judge you, I promise.”
“I was crying because Fred passed away…” I say, trying to keep calm but failed : I start to sob again.
“Oh.. I am so sorry. Fred from your history class? The one that used to drive you home from school? What happened to him?” She looks shocked by my answer. I keep sobbing and give her no answer – we sit there in silence for a minute or so, until she finally breaks it and says “Sorry Dear, I guess I ask too many questions. I’ll leave you alone if you want to, just don’t be sad too long – Fred wouldn’t approve if you drowned in sadness. I’m sure he wants you to smile honoring his memories.” She is about to leave me alone when I finally answer her.
“No.. It’s not that Fred. It is Fred Weasley… He killed in an explosion in Hogwarts.”
“Wait, WHAT?”
To be continued…
