Fast schon melancholisch hallten meine Schritte in den leeren Fluren der Schule wider. Einzig und allein das leise Surren der Klimaanlagen, die der Hausmeister angeschaltet hatte, durchbrach die ansonsten menschenleere Atmosphäre. Richtig, heute war es ziemlich warm. Es war erst Anfang Mai, doch brannte die Sonne an manchen Tagen so stark als wäre es mittlerweile schon Juni. Vorsichtig stellte mich ein wenig auf die Zehenspitzen um mein Schulschließfach zu erreichen. Normalerweise erledigte das Kim für mich, doch sie bereits zum Bus gegangen. Sie, Lynn und ein paar andere Leute hatten mich zu einem Ausflug ins Eiscafé eingeladen, doch ich lehnte ab – auch wenn es mir schwer fiel.                                                                               
Ein paar Zentimeter fehlten noch bis meine schmalen Finger endlich das kleine Stück Papier erreichten. Obwohl ich schon seit Wochen daran saß, überkam mich jedes Mal das Gefühl als sei es nicht gut genug. Ich seufzte und verstaute die Zeichnung in meiner Mappe. Mein Blick huschte über die alte, rostige Schuluhr, die sicher schon seit Menschengedenken an dieser Wand hing. Schon 16.03 Uhr? Eilig nahm ich meine Tasche und warf sie mir über die Schulter, ehe ich mich beeilte um zum Schultor zu kommen.  Schon vom Weitem sah ich ihn. Sein silberner Volvo blitzte in der Sonne und zog sofort meine Aufmerksamkeit auf sich.
„Violette, bist du soweit?“ Fragte mich die bekannte Stimme als die Scheibe des Autos heruntergelassen wurde und ich in sein lächelndes Gesicht sehen konnte. Ich lächelte ebenfalls, doch wirkte es gequälter als ich es wollte. Wortlos nahm ich auf dem Beifahrersitz neben meinem Vater Platz und verstaute meine Tasche auf dem Rücksitz. Über unser Schweigen legte sich zum Glück die Musik des Radios. Es war jedoch keine unangenehme Stille. Wir waren beide nie sehr gesprächig gewesen.
Er fuhr in einer der Seitenstraßen ein, nicht unweit von unserem Ziel entfernt, und parkte dort. Die folgenden Schritte waren immer am schwersten. Das alte Metallgitter quietschte schräg als ich es öffnete. Kaum setzten wir einen Fuß auf die Rasenfläche, überkam mich ein Gefühl von tiefer Ruhe und Frieden. Ich wusste den Weg zu ihr mittlerweile auswendig. Der Kies unter meinen Füßen knartschte ein wenig während ich die Inschriften der Grabsteine nun wohl schon zum vierten Mal las.Ich wendete meinen Blick ab und stoppte. Sie war da nach all der Zeit. War es seltsam zu glauben, dass sie gegangen war? Mein Vater befüllte eine Gießkanne, die an einem kleinen Brunnen unweit entfernt stand, während ich die alten Blumen auf ihrem Grab entfernte.
„Hallo, Mama. Es ist schön dich zu sehen. Es ist viel passiert in der letzten Zeit. Wir haben eine neue Mitschülerin.“ Ich lächelte schmal und befreite ihr Grab von der kleinen Löwenzahnpflanze. „Vieles hat sich verändert seit du nicht mehr da bist. Dad und ich vermissen dich sehr. Ich...“ Ich hielt inne und versuchte meine Tränen zu verbergen. Mom mochte es nie wenn ich weine. Sie sagte, dass all die Traurigkeit, die man zeigt nie die Liebe ersetzen wird, die man empfindet. Ich spürte eine Schwere auf meiner Schulter, sodass ich hastig meine Tränen wegwischte. Lächelnd drehte ich mich zu meinem Vater um und sah, dass dieser ebenfalls weinte. Meine Mine verrutschte schlagartig. Mein Vater zog mich an sich heran und umarmte mich herzlich. Meine warmen Tränen rannen mir die Wangen hinunter und das was ich so verzweifelt versuchte zu verbergen brach über mich herein. Doch in diesem Moment war es egal. Der Moment war für uns.
Almost melancholy, my footsteps echoed in the empty corridors of the school. Only the soft whirring of the air conditioners, which the caretaker had switched on, broke through the otherwise deserted atmosphere. Right, today it was pretty warm. It was only the beginning of May, but the sun burned on some days as strong as it was already June. Carefully put on a tiptoe to reach my school locker. Usually Kim did it for me, but she already went to the bus. She, Lynn and a few other people had invited me for a trip to the ice cream parlor, but I refused - even though I wanted to join them.
A few centimeters were still missing until my narrow fingers finally reached the small piece of paper. Even though I worked on it for weeks every time I feel like it's not good enough. I sighed and stowed the drawing in my portfolio. My eyes darted over the old, rusty school clock that had been hanging on the wall since time immemorial. Already 16:03? Hurriedly, I took my bag and threw it over my shoulder before hurrying to get to the school gate. I saw him from afar. His silver Volvo flashed in the sun and immediately grabbed my attention.
"Violette, are you ready?" Asked the familiar voice as the disc of the car was lowered  I could see into his smiling face. I smiled too, but it felt more tortured than I wanted. Without a word, I sat in the passenger seat next to my father and stowed my bag in the back seat. Fortunately, the music of the radio fell over our silence. But it was not an unpleasant. We had never been very talkative.
He drove into one of the side streets, not far from our destination, and parked there. The following steps were always the hardest. The old metal grille squeaked as I opened it. As soon as we set foot on the lawn, a sense of deep calm and peace came over me. I knew the way to her by heart now. The gravel under my feet snapped a bit while I read the inscriptions of the tombstones now probably for the fourth time. I averted my eyes and stopped. She was there after all that time. Was it strange to think she had left? My dad filled a watering can standing near a small well not far away as I removed the old flowers on her grave
"Hello mum. It's nice to see you. Much has happened in recent times. We have a new classmate. "I smiled tightly and freed her grave from the small dandelion plant. "Much has changed since you're gone. Dad and I miss you very much. I ... "I paused and tried to hide my tears. Mom never liked it when I cry. She said that all the sadness  will never replace the love. I felt a heaviness on my shoulder, so I hastily wiped away my tears. Smiling, I turned to my father and saw that he also cried. My mine slipped suddenly. My father pulled me close and hugged me warmly. My warm tears ran down my cheeks and what I was trying so desperately to hide broke over me. But at that moment it did not matter. The moment was for us.

Fanfic Meme
@joufancyhuh tagged me in this and I finally got around to it. Thank you so much for the tag!
1. A fic you are proud of?
Linger, a short Fenhawke piece that’s so soft. The setting could be anywhere. I like it a lot.
2. A fic you are excited about?
Evermore! It’s a Fenhawke AU inspired by beauty and the beast (the live-action remake by Disney) and I’m halfway through the 2nd draft. I’m taking a break for NaNo but hope to finish the 2nd draft during December. My ultimate goal for this fic is to finish the final draft before even thinking of sharing it here or on AO3.
3. A fic that was challenging to write?
My Fenhawke Flatmate AU, which I won’t link because no one deserves that disaster, because I burnt myself out with writing and ended up hating the fic because I had to just wrap it up and it ended not being close to what I had planned.
4. A fic that was something you hadn’t tried before?
I came out here to join the fight against Corypheus and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now because it was a funny prompt and I always worry about style and think I can’t write funny but that one is hilarious. It’s pompted by the owl whisperer video, here on youtube.
5. If you had to choose one fic above all to share, what would it be?
Hmm... I think Evermore. I hadn’t written in a long time until I started working on tha- No! Hold on! This prompt from lovely @tessa1972 has a place in my heart 💕
I don’t know who writes fanfic so this is an open tag for anyone who wishes to do this game!
