angrier as she thought about everything. “Jackson was only eight years old mom. He wasn’t a bad kid. He just wasn’t given the opportunity to be the kid he was. How is it ever going to be okay without him here with us?” Katie was yelling again at this point. She was so angry she was shaking almost uncontrollably. It was a good thing that she was sitting down.
Her mom tried to hug her again, but this time Katie just pushed her away. At this point there wasn’t anything anyone could say or do, to make it any better for her. Right now all Katie wanted was to be alone with Jackson at his new home.
Katie stood up and started for the door. Her mom stood up and took a few steps towards her and asked, “Where are you going?”
“I just need to go for a walk and clear my head. I will be back in time to cook dinner like I said I would,” Katie promised and closed the door, leaving her mom standing in the living room worried more than ever about her daughter.
Chapter 11
Outside on the door step, Katie took a deep breath. She could not believe the audacity of some people. There was no way she would ever forgive whoever had sent the letter. It was an unforgivable act as far as she was concerned.
Katie turned towards the park. She knew where she was going, but she just couldn’t get there as fast as she needed to. She had this overwhelming urge to just hug Jackson. She knew it wasn’t possible but she just needed to hug him one more time .The time they had together was not long enough.
As Katie crossed the road, she heard someone yell her name. She didn’t turn around to find out who it was, because at this point she really did not care. She just continued to walk, increasing the pace as she moved. She didn’t want anyone around her right now. She just wanted to be left alone with Jackson.
She walked up the hill, like she had every day since they buried Jackson. She walked down the row to Jacksons’ new home, sat down, wrapped her arms around the headstone, and just cried. She sat there so long that she lost track of time. She didn’t care who saw her at this point. She was hugging the closest thing to her brother that she had.
After a while, she wiped the tears from her face and just started talking about everything. She talked about how much she missed him, and how she wishes he were there to hug. She told him about the fight with mom, the letter and how she was busted in a lie. She even started talking about Jack, without even thinking about it.
As she talked she didn’t notice that someone was listening. She heard a slight movement behind her. Without looking Katie said “mom I just want to be alone. I already told you that.”
“Umm… I am sorry. I shouldn’t be here,” said a deep voice.
Katie turned so fast she almost fell over. She couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Jack standing there with his hands stuffed in his jeans, looking at the ground as he kicked the dirt. “How long had he been there? Did he hear everything she said about him to Jackson? Did he see her crying?” Her mind was going so fast that she couldn’t think straight.
“How long have you been standing there?” Katie asked, completely embarrassed with everything he had probably just witnessed or heard.
“Not very long, I yelled your name when you were walking up here, but you didn’t turn around. You looked upset so I wanted to make sure you were okay. I didn’t mean to intrude on a private conversation,” he said instantly sorry that he had followed her.
“Well I obviously didn’t want to be around anyone. Or if I had of
