Jon got into his car. Kris was crying silently all the way to the hospital.After an hour of awkward journey, they finally reached the hospital. Kris cries even harder when saw her grandpa. At the funeral, everyone came and try comfort Kris. Some even ask her unnecessary questions but Kris answered them all calmly. Jon was beside Kris all the time. After everyone left, Kris sat there silently and stared at the ground. Jon sat beside her and held her hand. She lies on his shoulder.
Kris: I lost the only person who love and cared about me.
Jon: I know this is really hard .He was such a good person so God wanted he to be with him.
Kris: Look at you. Making crap for me to feel better.
Jon: Hey Listen, He's not the only one who love and cared about you. Remember, I'll be always there for you like your grandpa did.
Jon strokes her hair and wiped her tears and kisses her on forehead.
Jon: Please dont cry anymore. I cant stand to see you crying.
