As I leave school and sign for my childhood club with my best friend Leah Williamson. We wander the streets of London as footballers and have special sleepovers. With Hallie and Olly joining us as they go off to college and we don't see them often...
Instead of staying with the girls , I go home with my mam. The full plane journey was dull. I get back, I go inside and I see all my siblings looking devastated. Savannah comes over and gives me a hug I drop my bag and wrap my arms around her. "I love you so so much" she says "I love you too" I say I go upstairs and start unpacking my stuff. Thomas comes in, "Bailey, why is everyone sad" he asks
"Sit down, let me tell you a story" I say I sit next to him on my bed. "Do you know grandad?" I say "Yeah" he says "He's had his life on earth, he achieved everything he needed too, but then his heart told him it's time to go to heaven. Time to fly up in the sky and be an angel. We have a service called a funeral, people are sad because they can no longer see him not because he's disappeared. Although we can't see him he's all around us" I say "Like god?" Thomas asks "Better than god, no matter what you do he will know. He will always be proud and have that smile on his face when we achieve our goals. He's got a superpower thomas" I say "Tell me what it is?" Thomas says "I don't know if I can" I say "Please" he begs "It's invisibility, we can't see him but he's watching us now. And in your heart, he's there, in your brain he's there." I say "Why did you come home early then?" He asks "Because I couldn't miss your birthday could I?" I say "Okay, I'm going to go tell mam the story" he says "Okay" I say
He leaves and I post on instagram.
