The siblings were now at the cemetry, they were sat beneath a big oak tree where they had buried their dead family. Blake thought him self to be weak ever since that happened, yes he had tried to be strong but he just couldn't, they had all been happy then the next moment it happened. He couldn't do anything and was really ashamed of himself. If only he hadn't been sick then maybe just maybe he could have helped, but no he had to have an asthma attack and just had to watch "Blake, Blake" Riley called. "what is it Ria"
"stop crying or I'll cry" Riley said wiping tears from his face he hadn't realise he was shedding. Nodding and sending an assuring smile to Riley he turned towards a trying to be strong Daphne not to cry but failing miserably " you need to cry, you know" He said tapping Daphne
" but" She started only to be cut short "yeah I know but you need to let it out, it's not healthy having it bottled up, you've been strong for us but cry even if it's only today" Blake adviced yet again.
Daphne never knew her younger brother was this smart. She had desperately tried to not cry when they got to the grave yard, but she saw Blake crying and Riley trying to comfort him, she was sweet just as their dead elder sister. A traitorous tear leaked and then another, and another, till the dam broke and she was on full on sobbing. It just hurts so bad not to have them there. The memories hurt and to think she was a fool was also breaking her.
"Mum why do you call I and my siblings with our middle name instead of first" A 17 year old Daphne asked her mum. Honestly she just didn't understand why they referred to them with their middle name. She was rather called Amethyst, Blake was Edward and Ashley, Elvia. " because your middle names are special my dear Amethyst " her mum had said before calling for dinner
"oh mum, dad, Elvia why did you leave, why go, I'm still fragile you know, I'm still a kid and I don't even know what I'm doing" she sobbed as the sobs racked through her. " Don't cry Daphne " Riley said although she was crying as well. Turnnig she wrapped her hands around Ria and Blake hugging them. They cried, laughed at memories and made promises. They only went home when it was getting late. That night they had all slept in Daphne's room yet again like they normally did after they ate
