Who Could Deny These Butterflies?

As we drove to the cemetery where they held Grandma's funeral, I blasted "Lullabies" on repeat on my iPod. I sat in the back of the car as my parent's quietly sat in the front. Dad was driving because Mom began crying as soon as we left the house.
The day dragged by so slowly. I began to sweat like a pig in my dress when they started lowering Grandma's casket in the hole. I didn't cry at all. Not one tear. I stayed head strong for her like she used to tell me before she began to lose her memory.
After Dad and his little brother buried her, I texted Alex and walked away from the crowd. I settled by a big old oak tree with names in hearts carved into it.
Brooke: It's over. She's been put to rest.
Alex: I'm so sorry. ): U sound like u need a hug. <3
Brooke: I do. very much. <3 <3 <3
Alex: Don't worry. I'm gonna give u lots of hugs when u come home. <3 I love u. :)

That night, I was up watching a marathon of Adventure Time. My parent's were in their room speaking in a hushed tone. I called Alex three times but he never answered. I just hugged a pillow to my face and drifted to sleep.
