She's The Daisy - A Short Story

    I remember turning around for the last time. Taking it all in and knowing that things will never be the same. She laid there helplessly as my dad tightly gripped my hand. The fast flowing tears poured out my face and dripped onto my tightly fit black dress. I pulled forward to yank from my dad's grip. I ran as quickly as my short legs could take me. I felt weak and helpless. Once I felt the cool, winter air on my face, I fell to my knees. All the memories had begun to flash into my head. From when I got a bruise and made her kiss it to when I had boy trouble and needed her help. She always knew what to say to make me smile. I just couldn't help but whimper thinking of her warm, loving hugs. I began to feel numb and cold. I cried out and sat there helplessly. There was nothing I could do about it. Nothing I could say would bring her back. I look down at my hands to see them stained with mascara. I carelessly wipe them on my dress and look through my blurry eyes. I see a daisy in a field of weeds.

    Every time when I was younger and I felt sad, my mom would bring me a daisy. That was her way of letting me know that things were going to be okay. The smell of the daisy always comforts me. I slowly get up and walk to the daisy. I breathe in the soothing scent. I knew that everything was going to be okay. It was going to take a lot of time, but God had plans for me. I try to remember that every time I begin to cry. He took my mom for a reason. Just like the daisy, my life would begin to grow into something beautiful.

Five months later:

    I went back to see the daisy that reminded me of comfort. To my surprise, there was a whole field of them now. The center of all the flowers was the same color of my mom's bright blonde hair. I smiled and grabbed my dad's hand. We were going to be okay.

    Hello everyone! My name is Taylor. I usually write about what is on my brain, but I decided to write a short story. I just want to let you know that it is not a true story. I happy live with a mom, dad, sister, a brother(who is off at college), two dogs, and a cat. I hope you liked the story! What's your life like?
