KFC.

The moment I found out that Uncle Robert was dead, I knew I would have to face my Aunt Pam at  one dreadful moment in time. My heart felt like it was rolling on glass, but seeing her will completely destroy what strength I have left. The house was covered with people, people I didn’t know, people I sometimes see but don’t know, and my family. KFC chicken, Italian bread, barbecue, and the chocolate aroma of the desert were covering the whole house. I tried to eat a little but my stomach felt as though it was going to fall out through my butt, I hadn’t eaten all day but the thought of food made me feel groggy. Like everyone else, I found a spot to sit and wait, I leaned up against the counter and started listening to soft chatter amongst everyone. My stomach starts to tighten and flip as I hear gravel shifting under her vehicle. This was it, my heart and soul was about to shatter into pieces like a piece of glass. I could feel Shelby’s cold fingers start to wrap around my hand as the door starts to creak open. I felt like m heart was draining as knife were poking holes and more holes through what I had left. Until the woman with the unrepairable heart, walked through the door.
