FEGG - G9 - Edmund - Chapter 6

 "I love you Kristin.."

 Kristin looked at me. "I love you too." She closed her eyes and leaned closer.

 I pulled her closer and kissed her on her forehead.

 I kissed her more and more.

"What are you planning?" she asked, with excitement in her voice.

 "You'll see.." I mumbled and kissed her lightly on her soft lips.

She kissed me back with a smile hidden in her face.

Estella

 My best friend, Sophia, had also been living in the house.

We had been friends since we were young and she was like a sister to me.

 That was why this night broke my heart.

I was about to go to bed, and Sophia slept when I got in our room.

Suddenly, she rose from the bed and started coughing.

"Sophia?" I had said. "Are you awake? I thought you were asleep."

But she didn't answer me. She just coughed and coughed.

 It was when she started to sparkle, and became transparent, I found out what was about to happen.

 The next second, a ghost stood there in my room. Where once Sophia stood.

 Tears started to roll down my cheeks and I just stared at her.

First when the kids came running, to see what was happening, I dried my tears.

I didn't want to look weak in front of my son, Lukas.

 Sophia came closer to me. She smiled sadly and put her transparent hand on my shoulder.

"I'll always remember you. I'll see you in heaven." she said and her voice sounded hollow.

 Then she was gone and I started to cry even more and louder.

 Everyone in the room left. They walked out, slow and shaken. Before they left, they all gave me a pity glance.

But Lukas stayed.

I shoke my head, I wanted him to leave. But no words came out.

 "Mom.." he murmured and pulled me into a long hug.

I cried and hugged him tight.

After a few minutes, he said, "Mom, I think you should go to bed."

I just nodded and did what he said.

Sheila

 I waited on the outside. I wanted them both to know I was there for them. 

Estella probably didn't want me in there, watching her cry, so I just waited outside.

 Lukas came out after a few minutes.

"Hi.." he said when he saw me.

 "How's your mother?" I asked and hugged Lukas.

"She'll be fine. Sophia is in a good place now." he mumbled.

I smiled and kissed him on his cheek.

Edmund

 We putted Sophia's grave next to a tree in our backyard.

Estella wanted to have it that way. They had been living there for so long and had so much memories.

 But Estella kept on crying. Time went by, and she cried and cried.

It hurt to see her like this. I had seen my mother like this before too. Before she left.

I didn't want Estella to leave like my mom had.

 But I knew she wouldn't.

"Estella." I said and she fell silent.

 "Please don't be sad. She's on a great place now. And I promise you she want you to be happy while you can." I said and tried to smile a little.

 "I know.." she sobbed.

 "But I miss her so much!" tears started to roll down her cheeks again and I gave her a hug.

"I know that..." I said silent.

"You know," she sobbed and dried her eyes. "I can always tell you about our greatest memories. I'll go get the photo albums, wait here Edmund." then she walked away to the bookshelf and started picking among the books.

I smiled and went to the couch to sit down, ready to listen to all the stories she had to tell.
