TW  this chapter involves mention of death





"What the fuck has happened?"

He muttered something in response but I could not quite hear it.

"What darling I couldn't hear you."

He looked up at me and his eyes were watering

"London bridge has fallen."

" i don't mean to be insensitive but could you decode this for me."

" Nan's dead"

"Fuck. right what we are going to do .Umm." i glanced at my phone" what time are we leaving?"

Henry did not reply. His eyes rubbed read raw

"12" he mustered up the strength.

I wrap my arms around him and he cries into my shirt.

"Shit uh we need to get ready." he spoke tearfully

"Ok, you go get some tea and um put on big bang theory and i will pack Darlin'."(if you have not watched big bang theory do watch it it is amazing and very funny.)

Henry plodded into the kitchen and i heard the theme tune

"Maths science history,

unravelling the mystery,

it all started with the big bang

BANG."

I pulled our suitcases out of the loft and laid them onto the bed. I shoved everything within reach. Yes I did fold them.i zipped up the cases. There was just one thing i needed to sort out.

Our suits.

His was black, with his blue sash and the united kingdoms flag pin on His lapel with a black tie. Mine was the same excluding the royal sash and my pin was an american flag. I grabbed our shoes an placed them into our suit bags. I packed his and mine backpacks and went to join Henry.

He seemed to have perked up slightly. I sat next to him. The episode playing was the one with Howard and the robot.(if ya know ya know.)

"Hi love" Henry spoke

" how are you feeling now that the-."

"The wicked witch of the west is dead"

" your words not mine. But yeah."

" shit"
