Forbidden Love

Chapter 7

I was woken up by my cellphone ringing I grabbed my phone off the bedside table and answered it. 

"Hello?" I said half asleep. 

"Ms. Fowler this is Kristen your granddad's nurse I am sad to inform you that he passed away sometime during the night the funeral home has been called and they will be in touch with you." Kirsten explained. 

"Thank you for telling me about my granddad," 

When I got off the phone with Kirsten, I got up out of bed and walked downstairs I walked into the kitchen Chris and Ronnie stopped talking when they saw me. 

"Rave what's the matter?" Ronnie asked worried. 

"My granddad passed away sometime during the night." I cried. 

Ronnie walked over to me and hugged me I broke down and cried she gently rubbed my back and comforted me I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand Chris handed me a tissue I sat down at the table. 

"Rave is there anything I can do to help?" 

"Not that I can think of unless you want to help me plan my granddad's funeral." 

"I'll help you plan your granddad's funeral." She said. 

"I have to give the paper with my granddad's final wishes to the funeral home," I stated. 

"Raven do you have your grandfather's will?" Chris asked. 

"Yes," I replied. 

"My father will need to see the will to see what belongs to you." 

"I thought your father was a wealth manager." 

"He is but my father used to handle wills before he became a wealth manager." He explained. 

I left the kitchen and walked upstairs to mine and Chris's room I got dressed I put on a Motionless In White t-shirt, black jeans, Jack Skellington knee high socks, and the Nightmare Before Christmas combat boots. I walked into the bathroom when I came out of the bathroom, I brushed my raven black hair I pulled my hair up into a ponytail I made the bed I searched my desk drawer for my granddad's will and funeral wishes. I found both the will and funeral wishes I heard Chris coming up the stairs he came into the room. 

"Have you called your aunt?" 

"No not yet." 

"I think you should call her." Chris said. 

I grabbed my cellphone and called my aunt and waited for her to answer on the fourth ring someone answered. 

"What do you want Raven," 

"Amanda, I don't have time to deal with your bratty attitude I need to speak with your mom." 

I heard Amanda pass the phone to someone. 

"What is it Raven, I was sleeping?" Aunt Megan asked half asleep. 

"The nursing home called this morning to tell me that granddad passed away during sometime during the night." I said. 

"Raven, I don't know why you're telling me you're in charge of everything." 

"Don't you care that your father passed away?" 

"These things happen," 

"I'll call once the funeral arrangements are final." I replied. 

"Have a nice time." Aunt Megan said. 

I hung up the phone and shook my head I sat down on the edge of the bed Chris sat beside me and kissed my cheek. 

"That went well,"
