Sold to Mr. Arrogant

After half a year.

The rain was pouring heavily; I was standing between Kenny and Shawn holding a sad expression on our faces. The weather was sharing my sorrow and my heart was heavier than ever. I was trying to not cry but as usual, I ended up wetting the ground beneath me. I never thought that I would be this distressed over my father's death since I always wished for it.

In the last six months, Kenny and I invested a lot of time for dad, we were spending most of our time together as if we were compensating for our previous years. We wanted to relive an experience that we wished for when we were kids. The German doctor could not realize the impossible, it was already known that dad would die and that is exactly what happened.

After the funeral, Shawn asked all the attendants who were all from my side to come and spend the night in the mansion. He knew that dad's death left an empty space in my heart and that I need to fill it with other people at the moment. I have always lived my life in fear to lose my friends, I felt that I would suffocate for real if I didn't have anyone by my side in this shitty life I was living.

Shawn understood that very well, he knew that I was abandoned by my family so I feared being abandoned by my friends as well. I appreciated his kind gestures even though spending time with my friends after the funeral did not really make me feel that much better.

I was still feeling that I could have treated my father better blaming myself slightly for not taking care of him earlier. I knew it was not my fault though.

"Are you feeling okay now," Kenny asked.

"Yeah, I am happy that we got to spend his last days with him,"

"I owe you this, Lily. I don't think I would have ever done that if it weren't for you, our dad is really pitiful,"

"Yeah, he is,"
