ooc: So I’ve been thinking about this for a while and sort of been putting it off but I’ve decided to leave the rpg. I’ve had a great time and I’m sad to be going but I’ve put a lot of thought into it. If you guys have any questions or something, my personal is here. It’s been fun x
Rich couldn’t believe in just a few weeks, it would be a year from the accident that killed Grace. Despite the amount of time that had passed, he knew he still loved Grace and was almost constantly thinking about her, especially now. He always compared things and people to her, wondering what she would think of some of the things that were going on right now, like Mini and Alo’s baby and Rich getting into Cambridge. Soon he’d be off for University, too, and months ago the only reason he would have ever wanted to come back would have been to visit Grace’s grave. Even though it hadn’t felt like a long time, though, things had changed in the year that Grace had died and Rich would be coming back to Bristol for a couple more reasons, at the least.
Since finding out where her grave was, Rich had visited her a number of times, especially near the end of the school year. Sometimes he’d just lay next to her grave for hours, but those days had mostly passed and Rich stopped by for a few minutes from time to time, occasionally bringing flowers with him. Anita and Kevin had been nagging for him the past few weeks and he’d been otherwise distracted. The last time he had visited the graveyard in Bristol must have been the previous month, so he decided to bring a fresh bouquet of flowers. The Bloods could have very well dropped some off in that time period, but Rich felt obligated to decorate her tombstone with flowers when the anniversary of her death was so close.
After buying a mixed bouquet of lillies, marigolds, daffodils and daisies, Rich headed to Mini’s house. He had promised to take her to visit Grace’s grave and it was no problem; since he was leaving in a matter of weeks he felt the need to visit the graveyard a lot, as if to say goodbye to Grace. It didn’t take long for Rich to get to Mini’s house, now that he had his license, which was long overdue. Leaving the flowers in his car, Rich walked up to the McGuinness house, ringing the doorbell once.
I believed Blood, from just the way he acted around me the day he told me. But it was nice to see her grave, finally. For closure and all.
Yeah. I’d really like to go, if you’ll show me where it is.
Yeah, of course.
I dunno, maybe. I did find out where her grave was.
Really? Shit.
I used to think…I used to hope, anyway, that because Blood never let us see her body or her grave, it meant it was all some sort of sick ploy on his part to take her away, and some day she’d come back.

I miss her too, some days more than others.
The first anniversary of the accident is in a few weeks.
Yeah, I know.
Do you want to do something? To remember?
Not that either of us need any help remembering.

Yeah, I know.
No, it’s fine. You’re not being stupid.
I just miss her. So much. And I know I’m preaching to the choir on this one but…wow. Sometimes it just hits me.
I miss her too, some days more than others.
Fuck. Uhm, don’t cry.
Oh God, sorry. Just ignore me. I’m being stupid.
No, it’s fine. You’re not being stupid.
