Today was the day.
The day where I get to go to the nearby cemetery and pay my respects to a certain someone who I kept close.
That certain someone came and went, leaving behind a mark.
A mark on my heart.
I trudged through the rain, as the mud sloshed around beneath my feet.
The setting was just like one of those out of a movie, but I am not worthy of a movie.
I crouched down in front of his headstone.
I swiped some of the dirt that had started to collect on it, but it was no use as the rain continued to pelt down onto it.
In loving memory of;
Rafael Axel Garcia
Born: 8th of January 2002
Died: 16th of June 2017
Beloved son of Lorenzo and Valentina Garcia and older brother to Nicolas, Isabella, Benjamin, Savanah, Liam, Matteo, and Madeline Garcia.
Forever in our hearts, Rafael, protector of the Garcia Siblings.
It should have been me that day.
If only he hadn't of put his life on the line for mine.
*Flashback*
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here! Two of the most precious Garcia's" a creepy man taunted.
"Raf, I'm scared" I mumbled into my eldest brother's shirt, as I clutched on, pushing my face into his shirt.
He smelt like home.
We were nowhere near home though.
"Who are we going to do first? Rafael Garcia or Savanah Garcia? Hmm, I wonder" the man chuckled, making me clutch even tighter to my brother.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard throughout the room, causing my body to tremble in fear.
I didn't want to look.
I felt a hand snake around my waist, as someone had crouched down in front of me.
I was no longer able to clutch onto my brother's shirt, as I had no idea where he was.
"Sav, girasol, look at me" my eldest brother pried my hands away from my face.
(Translation: sunflower)
"Go to dad and Nicolas" he said, placing a kiss on my forehead.
"But what about you?" I questioned, hugging my older brother tightly, not wanting to let him go.
