We went to the house we lived before moving into Derry. When I got inside the house my heart just broke. The house was full of my dad's paintings, it was really a mess but it was kind of beautiful.
Throw back
I was looking at my dad while he was painting, sitting on a chair.
- Dad - I said - This painting is a mess
It was full of colors that didn't match at all.
He looked at me and smiled.
- When are u going to learn that the thing of painting is to find the beauty and the order in a completely mess
Back to reality
He was right. He was always right.
The day was long and sad. When the funeral ended we went back to Derry.
Henry's POV
Me and Patrick were chilling in my house, smoking some cigarettes in the sofa, when the doorbell rang.
We looked at each other.
- Have u invited someone? - he asked me
I said no with my head.
I stood up and walked towards the door, I opened it and saw Victor standing there.
- Oh - I said - Hi Victor
He got in my house and looked at us with an angered expression.
- Patrick - he said - Have u seen Zoey today?
Patrick looked at him surprised.
- No - he said - We didn't talk about seeing each other today
Victor looked really surprised. He looked away.
- Do u guys even know what has happened? - Victor asked
We looked at each other and then looked back to Victor.
- No - we said
- Hi father has died - he told us
Patrick's POV
My heart stopped working.
- Are u fucking kidding me? - I said
- Why should I be kidding with this? This is serious! - he said
Shit.
I stood up and walked away the house.
I started to run to Zoey's house.
Zoey's POV
I went to open the door after the doorbell rang.
I saw Patrick standing there. He looked tired, his breathing was really fast.
- Zoey - he said - I'm sorry. Nobody has told me nothing till five minutes ago
I hugged him.
- Baby.... This is so unfair for u - he said in my ear - I can't even imagine how do u feel right now
I looked at him.
- Well.... not really good - I said - But it's nobody's fault, this things happens and u just....
I started to crying.
He hugged me.
- I can spend the night with u - he said - If u want me to
I nodded and he got in home.
He gave his condolences to my mom and my sister and then we went to my room.
I sat in my bed.
He looked down and then he looked at me.
- You don't deserve this - he told me
- Nobody does deserve this things - I said
- I know but.... there are assholes that deserve it more than someone so..... perfect
I looked down and a tear came out of my eyes. I dried it.
He sat next to me.
The bedroom door opened and Henry appeared.
I stood up and he hugged me.
- Sorry if I am interrupting something but.... I just wanted to say .... sorry Zoey - he sighed
I nodded.
- Can I talk to u for a minute - he said - Alone
I followed him.
He grabbed my hands and looked in my eyes.
- Zoey I know exactly how u feel because my mom died too so.... if u want to talk with someday I'll listen to u - he said
I smiled and hugged him.
- I love u - I said
- I love u too Zoey - he said
I smiled.
