Warm up Chapter 11

(GRACE was reading her favorite book when she looked up and saw the greenery, there were birds chirping, the sun was way to hot for her liking. So she sat under her favorite tree, on her favorite bench, reading her FAVORITE book. GRACE was content with her morning so far before her big interview with the boss. DANNY walked up and sits next to GRACE. His hair is all scruffy, his left shoe is untied, and he has big red bags under her eyes.)

DANNY: I just don't get it. Why me?

(GRACE is trying to ignore DANNYS negative conversation with himself. She does see that he is a business man by his Lord and Taylor suit with his gold Rolex.)

DANNY: I loved him, he didn't do anything to deserve this. He was so happy, smiling, breathing, living life.
GRACE: Sir?
DANNY: Hi sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your book about chocolate making.
GRACE: Are you Gay?
DANNY: What?
GRACE: Or like did somebody die? Idk I mean I was reading and having a good day before my interview, and then you came over, talked loudly, moaned about someone who was "living the life". Clearly you wanted me to ask what was wrong, so now that you interrupted me, whats wrong?

(GRACE was bothered, she was mentally preparing for this interview, and loving her book)

GRACE: I mean I'm trying to be nice, but you are annoying me.
DANNY: I'm sorry, I'm just having a rough morning. I tried to call out but I have to interview someone today. I hate being the boss sometimes.
(GRACE started thinking.)

GRACE: Oh I'm sorry, well where do you work?
DANNY: I'm the CEO of Snickers Factory.

(This was where GRACE was having her interview today!)

DANNY: I was having such a bad morning. I...
GRACE: So, who is this person you are interviewing?
DANNY: He was so loyal to me, and we have known each other since we were 10.
GRACE: How Many people are you interviewing for the position?
DANNY: He was there for me when I woke up, and went to sleep?

(The conversation was really one sided. GRACE did most of the talking while DANNY confided in GRACE.)
DANNY: I miss him so much.
GRACE: I'm trying to talk to you? Who even died that you are so upset about?
DANNY: my Goldfish Sandy died this morning.. And by the way you didn't get the job.

(DANNY got up and walked away leaving GRACE in awe. This was DANNY'S plan the whole time.)

I don't know, they all look so happy, and they are all smiling. Having a god time, drinking. The day was hot, and they were beat red, the sun was too hot. My mom had her hair up and my uncle had sunglasses rings under his eyes. The pool looked clear, and the sun was reflecting off the pool. My uncles girlfriend was leaning on him and his friend was probably laugh at a stupid joke. The beers were half underwater, they were probably floating in the deep end. They were laughing at my mom making a smile that was larger than life.

"No I swear I am okay." I knew this day was coming, I knew you were going to be there, and I was going to be there, and we were all going to be there. Staring at you. Smiling, crying, loving, being at peace. I was scared, my heart hurt. Your hand was still, your suit laid perfect.  There you were grey haired, pale. I wasn't afraid of you, I was afraid for you. Just being there, the wood was shiny, I could see my reflection in the oak. The gold stood out, I looked into it, and I could see the sadness, the tired faces, the heartbreak, looking back at me. White, red, blue, yellow, roses, to many. The pictures, I look, and I remember the time. I would watch you play softball with Daddy, and I would smile, now i will see them play softball, and I will cry.  I wanted it to be over, go home, go home, you go home, and I will go home. No more hurt. and no more pain. No more I'm sorry, please stop saying I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you are saying sorry. Number 23 everywhere, crying but smiling because he's happy. He smiles in heaven, he smiles because the cancer is over. He smiles because we are here, and he smiles because I love him too. Baseball heaven looks good on you, and so does heaven too. Don't be afraid because I'm  not afraid of you, I'm afraid for you.

Warm up- 225

I was cleaning my station at work annoyed that it was 9:30, and I still had a table sitting in the dinning room when I got a text from my Mom telling me to come home as quick as I could. Of course in my head I'm thinking every possible negative thing I could in my head, either someone died, or I did something really bad. When I finally left I drove home like a snail, not wanting to face devastation. I walked in the door, and my Mom was standing there staring at me. I felt my face get hot, and my heart was beating so loud I heard it in my head. She looked at me and said go downstairs your Dad is waiting to talk to you. So as I take the 3 steps down the stairs, which felt like an eternity. He said look, your brothers have something to show you, and there was my new puppy sitting on my brother Joe's lap. We had just lost our dog a few months ago, and it really hit my family hard, so to see this adorable brown fluff ball named Sophie sitting on my brothers lap was the best surprise.
