《Cherry Hill》LVIII. Laying Her Down To Rest
Advertisement
She was a better mother than you and don't you dare speak to my father like that, he came back for us. Not you. Him.
~ Xiomara's POV ~
It's been two weeks, we told Rosa in a gentle way and she took it hard.
Now we're in the car getting ready for her burial, I wasn't ready to lay her down to rest but I couldn't keep her up here forever.
She was an amazing abuela, she cooked my favorite meals and watched all my favorite movies and shows.
My abuela was my mother and even if she didn't birth me, she made me feel like I was her biological child.
So as we arrived to the burial site, I couldn't contain my tears anymore.
I let it all out as my dad got out the car and walked over to my side, pulling me into a hug.
I composed myself and got out of the car, holding Rosa's hand.
We walked to where her spot is and greeted everyone, I hugged Scarlett and didn't let go.
Scarlett began to cry hard because she loved my abuela and my abuela loved her, it was hard on everyone actually.
I wanted to just pull my hair out and scream as loud as I could but I couldn't, I wanted to be strong for myself and sister.
Soon we watched as her casket was slowly put into the ground but before they put her all the way down, I placed a rose on her casket and blew a kiss.
When she was fully down, I let out a shakey breath and looked at Jaysean who was smiling at me softly.
We placed a bouquet of flowers on her tombstone and walked away to a small building where we were allowed to chat for a bit before leaving, I realized that it wasn't Letí's fault or anyone.

It was my grandmother's time to go and I didn't want to accept that, it was almost impossible for me to accept it.
I sat down on the small couch with Scarlett and Jayla, Cora sat next to Jayla and we comforted each other.
My heart was aching but somehow they always knew how to make it feel better, we spent some time making jokes and lightening the mood.
The mood was immediately dark when my mother walked into the funeral home, I looked at her and looked at Rosa before calling her over to me.
She came over no questions asked but dragged Javon along because she was doing his nails, these two were becoming best friends.
"Can't believe that she actually died, she wasn't a good mother I'm guessing.."
My mother spoke out, my father looked up and locked eyes with her before scoffing.
I looked at the two because of the tension, she walked over to him and stood right in front of him.
"Surprised they let you out of jail and even allowed you near the girls, Alejandro you're not special so do not think you are."
Now that's when I had enough, nobody had done anything to her for to be disrespectful.
I got up from the couch and told Rosa to stay seated with Javon, I walked over to my mother and father.
She was a better than you and don't you dare speak to my father like that, he came back for us. Not you. Him.
I retorted as I grabbed my father's hand and looked at my mother, she didn't bother responding.
I understand that it was rude for me to speak like that but my father was the only person to promise to take care of me and my sister.

I watched as she left the funeral home, I kissed my father's cheek and walked back to my sister.
Javon's nails were now a light blue and he was now painting Rosa's nails so they could match, I swear he thinks he's her brother.
"So how are we feeling because next year is our literal last year together and I'm not feeling it."
Scarlett broke the silence as she grabbed Jaden's hand and smiled at him, I shrugged my shoulders because I was nervous.
I mean I didn't think I would actually make it to see the day I get to my last year of highschool, it just doesn't feel right with me.
"Well I'm excited, I just know next year is going to be better than this year and last combined."
Javon said as he began to do a second coat of nail polish on Rosa's let hand, I smiled at the sight.
They were adorable so I'm happy that they're getting along, I have a good friend group with me.
"Sleepover at mine?"
Scarlett asked as we left the funeral home and began to walk to our cars, I looked at her and nodded but just as we were about to get to the car, Javon looked at me.
"BRING ROSA!"
Javon screamed before getting into the car and closing the door, I laughed and got inside of my car.
I put on my seatbelt and asked Rosa if she wants to sleepover at Scarlett's tonight to which she nodded.
I forgot to mention, Rosa has a huge crush on Javon and believe she has a chance with him, I'm not about to tell her that she doesn't have a chance because I have a heart.
So I'll tell Javon about the crush and then spend the whole night pretending Rosa does have a chance because yes.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.
