Once Bitten

Part Seventeen

We got near my house, "you sure you wouldn't want to just stay here? Its a lot nicer than my place." I just kept looking out the window, "no, too many bad memories here." "I understand." I went out and got the gate so he could drive in and left it open since there was any reason to keep it shut since this was the last time I'd ever be here. We parked up by the carport and got out, "you want me to help get your things?" He asked. "I've got it, but Ace is out in the stables if you want to go saddle him." "Alright" he walked away as I walked inside. It seemed weird being here even though it was only yesterday that I was here. I walked to my door and put my hand on the knob I haven't been in my own room since Chris died.. I slowly turned the knob and pushed the door softly. I could see the blood splatter on the wall and the room smelt bad. I looked at the dresser and grabbed the necklace Chris gave me for Valentine's day. I put it on and held the heart pendant in my hand, a tear fell. I miss him.. I wiped my eyes and grabbed an empty suitcase from my closet. I got clothes and things packed then went to dad's room to grab his guns and ammo and put them in another bag, then I walked outside. Riley was on Ace trying to get used to riding. It would take time for Ace to get used to Riley too since he's never been ridden by anyone other than dad. I put my stuff in the back of the truck and yelled to Riley, "want me to drive?" He laughed, "sure"
