Granting one last wish

ABBY

Dad settled for only Two days funeral. 

I’m wearing white instead of black showing that I’m not here to mourn, I’m here to celebrate her life, her legacy, she may be gone but she’ll always remain in my heart. I didn’t recognize most of the people who paid respect. I hate every word they said. ”sorry for you lost”

Wreaths everywhere of different colors, designs, and sizes. From politicians, movie industries, different charity organizations, businessmen, powerful people arrived, some stayed long some leave immediately.

I kept my head down, Dad wants me to keep it that way, he wants me to have a normal life away from the scrutiny of public eyes. I know one day I can’t stay in my loophole forever. One day the world will know me.

I want to go home, I feel sick in here. I don’t like attention, this is the reason why I am who I am today. It changed my whole life forever. I spotted Dad talking to one of his friends.

“Dad, I can I have a moment?” The couples both look at me with sadness in their eyes. My eyes widen when I look at them, they must be Seb’s parents, the resemblance, Seb’s got his hair and eyes from his dad, nose, and lips from his mom. They’re both tall and fit and his mom has dimples too.

“You must be Abby?” before I can answer Mrs. Hughes tackles me to a hug and she starts to sniff.

“The last time I saw you, you were still so young, and now look at you, grown up to be a beautiful young woman, Catie must be very proud of you.” I give her a tight smile but I can’t remember I met her before.

“Thank you for coming here today,” I say

The next thing I know Mr. Hughes is next giving me a bear hug.

Then Dad excuses us both.

“What is it pumpkin?” Dad gloomy eyes look at me. He places his hands on my arms.

“Dad, first I’m Eighteen and stop calling me pumpkin in front of people. You can start calling me by my name, can’t you?”

“Sweetheart you will always be my baby girl, old or not you’ll always be my pumpkin.”

“Dad it’s annoying you know?” I look down at my shoes.
