I sat cross legged on the ground in front of Erin's grave.
She'd been burried here because she'd been born around here.
I was plucking the petals off a rose some wellwisher had left here.
She'd hated roses.
She wouldn't mind.
I hear the gates open and watch Hannah walk across the yard to a grave and lay one single white rose on the mound of earth.

i felt like someone was looking at me, but i didnt care. I continued to plead for forgiveness and cry my heart out.

I watch her for a long moment, wondering if I should go and maybe say something, or stay with Erin.
I sigh and get to my feet, "I'll be back." I say softly, touching the cold stone of the grave, then make my way through the other graves towards Hannah, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright?"

"That's a first, not many people do." I say, still clutching the half-dismembered rose in my other hand. "You want me to go away?"

I nod, staying standing behind her, reading the grave. "Serenity...who was she?"

"Don't think about that. Think about being her ham and her being sausage, not the part about her being killed."

"she always popped out of no where, from behind teacher's desk, the ceiling, everywhere... i remember the first time i meet her she was in the wolf shape in moaning myrtle's bathroom, she scared me so bad, then started licking my nose....she was sooo amazing. On night her when i was running from Jerami int he wood sshe ran into me, her father was after her, she wanted me to leave but i woulnt, we risked or lives together, i cant believe shes gone." i stand up and turn towards him wiping the tears away.

"Then don't. And don't think about it. Just keep thinking about how she'd pop out of nowhere. Tell me other things about her." I say, trying to keep her mind on the good.

"Destroying roses like the young vandal I am." I smile slightly, holding up what was left of the rose.

I follow her slowly, standing slightly behind her, reading the grave aloud. "Erin Row. Claimed before her time. Loving daughter, sister and friend. Sorely missed."

I sigh, sitting back down by Erin's grave.
I rip a few more petals off, then throw it bitterly across the grass, dropping my head into my hands.
If only I'd had the guts to tell her, just once.
