Good Morning Heartbreak by Melanin

Loss

I sat there on the cold tile in the bathroom floor. Tears where running down my face and I could faintly hear my mother's voice calling my name from my phone.

"Julez?"
"Honey? Are you there?!"

Still in shock I grabbed my phone and placed it to my ear.

"Mom what happened?" I asked still unsure and in a daze.
"It's your grandfather honey, he passed away this morning."

I shook my head trying to make sense of what the hell just happened. I thought everything was okay and the last time I saw him he was in good spirits. So how could the man who I've loved and looked up to was gone?

I hung up hearing my mom saying that she's going to call me back and everything will be okay. I mumbled something about it not being okay and hung up.

My heart was broken and my mind couldn't understand how this could happen. I didn't know what to do but somehow I got off of the bathroom floor and was able to collect myself. I walked back into my office with a smile on my face pretending everything was okay when all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and cry.

Im at loss.
