#Mirrah _Pov

…
I’m standing by the entrance of the church watching what was going on. Majority dressed in blacks and few including the priest and Mom are wearing white.
I’ve been in and out of the church because I could not contain the sadness that clouds the atmosphere.
I don’t know how Florence is feeling because she wouldn’t st©p crying and I feel like the world is about to come to an end.
“I’m late. “I turn to my side to see Lori dressed in all black. I mean, black mini go-wn that shows her cleavage, black high heel, black pin earrings, black churchy hat except her l!pthat’s painted red.
“My condolences Mirrah. “She said pating my back. She’s wearing a dark eye shade.
“I’m not the person that lost her mother Lori. “I remind her and she re-move her hand from my back.
She lowered her eye shade to her nose looking funny.
“I’m wearing a black shade doesn’t mean I’m blind. Where is Florence? ”
“Right in front seat.
“All the way there?!”She sound funny again as I nod my head to confirm.
She wore back her dark shade.
“I’ll go pay my respect. “And she walks off.
Really, talking with Lori relieved me even a little because I smiled and I summoned the courage to walk into the crowd and find myself a seat.

“…nice… ”
The priest continue his speech on and on and on.
“Are you alright? “Dad ask me and I nod my head. The tears has st©pped rolling and I’m alre-ady tired of crying.
I’m sitting in the middle of Dad and Mirrah’s Mom. Truly, she has been a great help in ma-king me get back on my feet even though its not wholly. She made sure to be around me all the time and even help me sleep.
I guess I was wrong about everything I said against her. She’s just as nice as my Mom, no, she’s nicer and cared for me like I’m her daughter. And Mirrah, she has been supportive too, she always listen to me and hvg me whenever I break down in tears. It’s good to think that they’re my second family.
Dad stood up and walk towards the podium, he’s about to give his own speech.
“Lillian, is not just anyb©dy. She’s she’s the mother of my daughter. She’s… ”
“Hi, Mrs. Blues. “A blonde bug shoulder length haired girl sits on the chair Dad stood up from. I’ve seen her with Mirrah once or twice in Hilton. She’s dressed in all blacks but still doesn’t look someone who c@m£ for a wake keep.
“My condolences, Florence. “She said sympathetically.
“Thanks alot. “I said and she smile.
“…Mirrah, plea-se come up now.”
That caught my attention as I see Mirrah walking towards the podium.
“What is she doing? “Her Mom ask no one.
“Trying to save the world. “Her friend said but I didn’t take my gaze away from her cause I’m wondering what she’s about to do. She hvg Dad before handling the mic 🎤
“plea-se, stay. “She held Dad’s hand as he was about to leave. Dad went back standing by her.
“It’s really painful for all of us to loose someone as precious as Ms. Lillian. “She paused.
How can Mirrah be this nice? She has never met my Mom but here she is talking about her as if she has known her.
She cleared her throat.
“I remixed a song for her by Westlife. “She said and I feel my eyes tearing up.
🎵Goodbye Mama plea-se pray for me 🎤
🎵You stood by me till the very end of time 🎤
🎵 You tried to keep the truth from me 🎤
I stood on my feet as the tears start to roll down.
‘She’s just thinking of protecting you. ‘
What Mirrah said keep ringing in my head.
🎵Too much lies and too much love, wonder how I got alone 🎤
🎶Goodbye Mama it’s ha-rd to die
🎶 When all the birds are singing in the sky
🎶 Now that the spring is in the air.
🎶 Little children everywhere .
🎶 you see then I’ll be there.
🎼We are joined
🎼We are fond
🎼We have seasons in the sun
🎼’bove the hills that we climb like the seasons have all gone.
I ran into her arms as she ended the tears in tears.
“Thank you Mirrah.”I said on her n£¢k.
“Common girls. ”
Dad led us off the podium and on getting back to our seats is when I realized that even her mom and friend had tears in their eyes. I know that I’m going to be fine with Mirrah and her Mom around. I just hope the day won’t come when they will st©p loving me.

Finally, it’s all over now. I mean the wake keep and I am not allowed to come to the funeral.
“But Mom, I want to be there. “I cried. Dad and Florence had alre-ady left.
“It’s not a social gathering Mirrah. “She said jokingly but I didn’t laugh.
“Just plea-se go home and rest or better still hang out with your friend. You’ve done enough and I’m sure that Florence appreciates your efforts. “She said as-suring me. I smiled as she hvgs me and left in a rush.
I smiled even broader as I recalled how Florence rush me into a very warmth embr@ce. I felt peace within like we’re connected somehow. I just wish we can become friends and act like real sisters because I’m not going to make her feel the abs£nce of her Mom.
“You were awesome! “It’s Lori and this time around she’s not wearing her hat and shades.
“I just thought of doing something. But, was it really good? “I ask her with a half smile.
“You were incredible up there and believe me, Westlife are going to award you. “She said ma-king me chuckle. She’s silly.
“Are you coming to the school Formal? “She ask me.
“I’m not suppose to. We’re still mourning you know.”
“The last time I checked, I wasn’t inviting your whole family to the formal and besides you nee-d to wear that ugly face of yours off. “She said.
“You’re saying I’m ugly? ”
“You’re pretty. Just say you’ll go to the formal plea-se. “She clung herself to me.
“I don’t have a d@t£. ”
“Then, you’ll go with me. “She’s sounding impossible again.
“Don’t look at me like that I have a d@t£. “She said smiling.
“Who? ”
“Francis. He ask me to go with him. “She said smiling all over as I remembered Betty and Fernard, I wonder how those two are doing. I have to call her and hear from her, it’s been a while.

…
I’m supposed to meet Lori here in front of the gate. She wanted to come and pick me from home because she said I might decide not to come but I told her not to worry that I’ll meet here there.
“Mirrah, dear. “Lori c@m£ hvgging me and I hvg her back. She’s wearing a blue fl@ylong go-wn while I’m clad in a white handless camisole with a black printing Sk-irt that st©ps below my knee and wore a jacket.
“I thought you wouldn’t come alone. “Lori said and peeped throu-gh and exhale.
“I am not staying for too long. “I said and she roll her eyes at me and then drag me in.
“Welcome to Hilton high formal p@rty. “Lori, said unt©p of her voice and I chuckle.
“Where’s your d@t£? ”
“What? ”
“Your d@t£, the guy you’re sup… ”
“Ahhhhh! You mean Francis?! ”
“Yeah. Him. ”
“I turned him down. “She said as we gr-ab a seat and sit.
“What? “I asked shocked.
“But, you were excited telling me about him yesterday. What happened? ”
“Nothing much. I turned him down right by the gate. ”
I bur-st into laughter.
“You’re impossible, Lori. I wonder how he’s feeling right now. ”
“Oh, don’t worry, I’ve compensated him. ”
“With what? ”
“You shouldn’t ask. ”
“Why? You don’t want to tell me that you had s3x with him? ”
She use her both hands to cover her mouth laughing.
“You’re spoilt, Mirrah. ”
“I’m just stating the fact. ”
“I only k!$$£d him alright. ”
“You’re more like a mother witch. I mean, who turns down their d@t£ the day is the event just because they feel like? “I ask her but instead she folds her hand up to her che-st and rest her back.
“Silly bit-ch”I said with a smile and she win-ked at me.
“I’m getting us drinks. “I stood up and push the chair backward.
“Don’t take forever. “She said still on that same position.
“I won’t.”
I got to where the drinks are served and I told the waiter to pour me two glas-ses which she did after I showed her my school ID to identify that I’m actually one of them.
On my way to deliver the drinks, someone pushed me from behind and I fell on my che-st and the glas-s cu-p broke into pieces and the camisole I was putting on got stained instantly of the jui-ce.I stood up to see that it was unlucky j£rk that pushed me.
“You should be careful a$$hole! ”
I heard someone said but I didn’t even turn to look at him. I fix my gaze on unlucky j£rk who sm-irk and walk closer to me.
“I told you didn’t I? You’re in for hell. “He said and brush off my shoulder.
“And I’m dragging you along with me. “I said and he faced me with a smiling face.
“And, what are you going to do? “He asked. I looked at the ground and raise my head back, I walk closer to him and ru-b my dirty hands on his black tuxedo.
“We go to hell together. “I said and walk out on him . I nee-d to clean myself. My day was going smoothly until he showed up, why do I have to meet a j£rk like him? And worst, we’re in thesame school.
I went into the rest room, pick a toilet roll and start to wipe the stain off it but the more I tried, the more the stain increases.
‘Curse you, unlucky j£rk! ‘
I bu-ttoned up the jacket I was wearing and use water to wipe off the little stain on it. When I get home, I’ll wash it but this camisole is alre-ady gone and thanks to you unlucky j£rk.
I hissed and walk out of the restroom to the table where Lori is.
“Oh my God!, What happened to you?! “She ask getting up.
“I’ll explain later but I can’t stay here any longer. ”
“Yes. I un-derstand. Let’s go. “She pick up her purse and we walk throu-gh the crowd.
“You don’t nee-d to be in a hurry. The p@rty isn’t over yet. ”
I st©pped on my track and breathe out . I and Lori turned to face him and she g@sps. I’m sure she wasn’t expecting the trouble to be him.
He walk down the stage to us still holding the mic.
“”You look like a mess. “He said and I hissed.
“I’m leaving.”I turn to leave.
“You don’t nee-d to be ashamed. We all un-derstand that poor people like you can’t afford quality clothes. ”
It dropped like a bombshell as tears gathered in my eyes.
“What?, I’m telling the truth. Look at what she’s wearing, she’s dressed like she’s going to a funeral. “I feel him take a step closer cause I’m not facing him.
“You should know that Hilton high is school for the rich. Not for middle clas-s or upcoming pauper like you. ” He said into the mic and people start to laugh. The tears that gathered in my eyes roll down freely without any interference and I ran out to cry.
Why will he say that about me?
He shouldn’t talk to me like that cause he doesn’t know me.
I kept on crying holding my che-st cause it feels like my heart is about to explode.
I’ve never been insulted like this in my entire life!
Why did I come here in the first place?
“I’m sorry. “I heard Lori say behind me.
“Why did he say all those things in front of so many people? He humiliated me Lori! “I said in tears and a girl appeared in front of me.
“What did you do to J, for him to be this mad at you?! “She ask me and I got on my feet wiping my tears with my palm. She must be his sister.
“You should ask your brother that question. “I said and she laughed.
“He’s not my brother. J, is my b©yfri£ndif you care to know. ”
“You should be happy then. “Lori walk closer standing beside me.
“I am not here to argue with you Pauper girl. I am going to warn you once; dont provoke my b©yfri£ndagain or… ”
“What?! “I fired at her and she chuckles.
“You should just be careful. That’s all I gotta say to you. “She said and walk away.
Lori made me rest my head on her shoulder as tears roll down my cheeks again.

“Where is Mirrah? ” Aunt asked me all dressed up. I’m sitting on the dinning eating breakfast.
“She has left for school. Come join me for breakfast, Aunt,” I said and she checked her wristwatch.
“Maybe another time but I got to run. “She said.
“I talked to Dad and he said I can resume school by Monday. ”
“Are you sure? ”
“Yes. I’m very sure.”
“It’s fine by me as long as you don’t try to kill yourself again. “With that she walk out of the house.
Dad must have told her that I almost commit suicide. That was really stupid of me.
I feel more than happy because Aunt is nice to me even though I’m not her real daughter and Mirrah, I just cannot forget the amazing thing she did on my Mom’s wake keep. And so, I’ll be forever indebted to her and her mom.
