Unexpected news

After my walk, I arrived back at Theo's home with the kitty.

"Hey guys I'm back :D," I said as I walked in.

"How'd ur walk go" asked my brother

"It was good because I found this adorable kitten is it okay if I keep it?"

"We've never had pets before but sure anything as long as you're responsible for it," he said

I looked at him happily while Kyle was in the living room and Becca was out of sight.

I smiled "You are the best" I happily went upstairs to my room

what should I name him" I thought. Hmmm. this little kitty its fur was as dark as the night sky but its eyes were green shining like emeralds. I thought about it for a while. 

"Ah, I got it! His name should be Moon" I picked Moon up "Your name shall be Moon" I smiled

"That a nice name you picked out" I heard someone's voice

I turned around and it was Kyle. I left my door open.

"thanks but what are you doing here?" I asked confused as to why he had come up.

"Theo asked me to take you out to get supplies for the kitten," He said 

"Why couldn't he get them with me himself?" I asked

"Well, aren't you straightforward? Just kidding he's still busy so he asked me to take you out you might be bored." 

"Alright let's go then. Be a good kitten il leave you here for a bit." I put down some food and milk I got from the fridge and left a blanket. Kyle just looked at me but I brushed it off. we went downstairs and headed to the car. 

"Did you know Theo asked me to teach you how to drive?" he said

"Yeah, he told me you were gonna teach me." 

"I'm gonna bring you somewhere before going to the store" He drove somewhere out of town.

"where exactly are we headed I asked" I started freaking out because I don't trust him.

"Don't worry I'm not gonna do anything he said it's a bit of a surprise," he replied as if he knew how I was feeling. we reached our destination

"A parking lot?" I asked

"Yep this is where some people start and this is where you're gonna start." He grinned. he exited his seat and we switched places. I was on the wheel.

"So uhm what do I do?" 

He explained to me how to drive. I started driving

"SLOW DOWN SLOW DOWN," He said holding onto his seat for dear life.

 I slowed down holding down the break and stopped. I practiced as he taught me for a few hours. it was actually pretty fun I got the hang of it.

We both laughed having some fun.

"That was fun" I laughed

"You're a crazy driver i wonder how you'll be on the streets. I should drive to the store for our safety because who knows how you'll be" he said smiling. we headed to the pet store and I got the items necessary for Moon and some toys.

"That'll be all right Ciel?" he asked

"Yep, I said" I was about to pay with the money I had saved up.

"Thank you for coming here come next time!" Said the cashier 

"I didn't pay ye-"

"I paid. take it as a gift." Said kyle

"Why would you pay??!" I asked. He confuses me so much.

"Here take this I said" trying to give the the money I was going to pay with.

"Nope, I'm not accepting it." He said. Gosh, he is so stubborn. I stayed silent pondering about why he's acting like this towards someone who he recently met. On the way home we passed by my old town and saw an ambulance by my old home. 

"Wait can we stop by here real quick." 

"What for" he asked

"I need to check something out i said"

"sure but be quick."

i got off the car and tried to check out what happened. that where i saw him. The guy who i used to call father. he was being carried inside the ambulance

"excuse me what happened here?" I asked the Paramedics. 

"Who are you?" they asked

"im his daughter"

"He had a stroke due to drinking to much if you'd like you can come with us to the hospital"

 "Ah okay il be there." My head was racing with many thought but i decided to call Theo

"Hey Theo?"

"Hey Ciel whats up"

"He died." 

"Who did? Ciel calm down and tell me everything"

"Dad died. im going to the hospital right now il send you the location. Bye"

"Wait-" 

I hung up and headed to the car. 

"Is everything alr-" he looked at me.

i broke down into tears

"Can you drop me off at the hospital" I said. He was quiet . "Its this location" I showed him as he drove there. I felt guilty for leaving him behind like this when he fed me and had a roof over me while growing up. Why did I leave him all alone like this.We arrived but before letting me out he hugged me.

"Im assuming it's that guy. You'll be okay none of this is you're fault." he said trying to comfort me.

"yeah i know.." i said trying to push the guilt aside. 

we entered the hospital and saw Theo and becca there. 

It was silent. 

"He's announced dead" said the doctor that attended him

Theo came to me "Its just the two of us now left as family" 

All of us headed home. 

"Whhat should I do moon I said petting him. Tomorrows the funeral." I slept with mixed feeling.

The next day we attended his funeral. 

"Youre a pretty strong girl for being able to go through all of this" Becca appeared right beside me

"Thanks. I know its me and the left but I have one favor to ask." 

"Yeah what is it?" she replied

"I want you to keep my brother happy he's been through a lot too" I said 

"Sure thing. ill do my best but you also deserve the goods in life. Lifes too short, so start thinking about yourself" 

"I will" I said with a faint smile

And that's how this week came to an end.
