Dear Mom,

don't worry, i'm here

dear mom,

cedric came over,

aaron said he had to finish this big project,

so he didn't show up.

when cedric came over,

i remember him asking me,

where was marcus and angie.

and why it seemed so dead,

in the orphanage.

i tried my hardest not to cry,

not to break down.

i tried so hard to be strong,

for angie and marcus.

but just by hearing their names,

i end up remembering everything,

from the slightest and smallest details,

to the largest details.

cedric was shock when he saw me crying,

he asked me what happened,

and i told him everything.

by the end of explaining to him,

he already was hugging me,

and patting my back,

while ruffling my hair.

he told me that it was going to be all fine,

that angie and marcus are in a better place now.

that they're watching over me,

and wouldn't want to see me all sad.

he told me that they loved me,

and that no matter what,

they'll always be with me.

it made me feel a bit better.

i just wish angie and marcus were here,

to hug me and make me smile again.

love,

ann
