Hey guys! So I'm writing a sequel I wasn't planning on to the Good Fight. The plan is to eventually have it connect to Do you remember me as well, but that might be a stretch. As of right now, this won't really effect that story, but the end might. Heads up, this is based off of Tell Your Heart To Beat Again by Danny Gokey. If you don't know it, I'd highly suggest looking it up before you read this. Secondly, this is written in remembrance of my Grandma, so expect some major feels. I just naturally think of my Grandma when I hear this song so that's about it. And I'm sorry for any tears this brings.
After everyone had already left the church, Kai and Nya remained in their seats clad from head to toe in black that had funeral attire written all over it.
Why? Kai thought. He could barely stand it. His dad was gone. One minute he was smiling beside them the next they were dead. Why would God let this happen?
"Kai, we should get going so we get going now so we can make it to the burial service on time," Nya spoke faintly.
"I don't want to go. I want to stay right here," Kai wiped a waterfall of tears off his face.
"Neither do I, but Dad wouldn't want us sitting here moping. He'd want us to be strong. Even Mom's left."
"I'm not moving," Kai folded his arms.
"Fine," Nya sighed, "I'm going to go find Mom and Jay."
Kai watched Nya walk out of the room then bent over in tears. Where was God when he needed him?
God help me. I don't think I can watch Dad get hurried, Nya prayed as she joined Lauren, Jay, and other relatives outside in the cemetery.
Dr. Andrews was there. He gave her a weak smile Nya under no circumstances could or would return. He must have remembered them enough from Nya's childhood to show up at Daniel's funeral.
Jay wrapped his arm around Nya, "You can do this Nya. Be strong."
Nya shook her head, "I don't think I can. It's not just Dad, it's Kai. He needs to be here."
"I'm sure he'll come," Jay reassured her.
"He won't. He told me he wouldn't. What am I supposed to do? He's going to kill himself grieving."
Nya fought back tears. Lauren was looking their way. She had to be strong for her. She had to be strong for Daniel too.
"Maybe that's not your responsibility. Let God take care of it Nya."
Nya stared at the ground. Maybe it wasn't. When Daniel died, she carried the family. What if it wasn't her responsibility? It felt like everything was.
God, how do I leave Kai in your hands? I'm so scared?
Sorry this is kind of short. I need to get to bed. See Ya!
#God's Not Dead!
