Hi! I still haven't gotten over Mel's death (and I doubt I will anytime soon!) and here's another story I was inspired to write.

Every chapter is going to based on a different emotion & character, dealing with how their thoughts and how they're coping with Mel's death.

Enjoy & please review! :D

Chapter One:

Ruby Rafter felt uncertain.

Although there was sadness filling her families hearts, emotions & thoughts, little Ruby was completely oblivious to what it was and what had caused it.

She could tell when her Mum held her that she clung a little tighter than usual.

She could tell when her Dad held her that he rocked her a little more than usual.

She could tell when her older - and only remaining Sister-, Rachel held her that she whispered into her ear, and cuddled her tightly, patting her back more than she normally did.

She could tell when her oldest Brother, Ben held her he would cry more than she had ever known anyone to, and his chest would move more from the crying too.

She could tell when her other Brother, Nathan held her that he talked to her more than normal & whisper closer to her face.

She could tell that her Sister's boyfriend, Jake, held her more than normally and would take over when whoever held her cried.

She could tell that when her Uncle Carbo held her, he held her closer to his chest and more frequently than normal, put his face against her own, comforting her and seeking his own comfort from 'In the family'.

She could tell when her Grandad Ted held her, he would tell her more stories than normally, and he would ramble on and on when no-one else was around.

She could tell something wasn't right.

The little girl in all her innocence, didn't know that her brother's wife, her sister in-law, Melissa, had been killed in a car accident.

At this age, she didn't know that she was never going to remember, Mel and her beautiful personality personally, and that she would only know her through the memories & stories that her oldest brother and other family members would tell her.

There's Mel's death from Ruby's perspective!

I hope you enjoyed it. Please review, and let me know what you thought of it, good or bad (just be nice please) and then I'll upload the next chapter

Have a great day,
