After lunch/early dinner, I felt full... I never ate so much other than yesterday. Jacob was right: his cooking was so good. Jacob has non stop teased me about it. They went to do their meeting with the cast while I'm playing the guitar and looked at the photo of Jon and I have in the case.
I stopped strumming remembering back to that night.
2 years ago...
I was strumming the guitar, playing for Jodie and Jamie, Jon's two twin grandkids. Micaela and Laura were watching and clapping along as well. The twin toddlers were clapping and giggling.
Knock knock
"I'll get it." Laura says as she gets up.
I continued to play a soft but upbeat melody while the twins were playing together and Micaela was watching over both of them, smiling.
"What...?" Laura's voice said in shock. I stopped strumming.
Micaela also heard it too and we looked at each other.
"I'll go take the twins to bed early. I'll be back soon." Michaela said immediately as I nod.
I put my guitar down and I see... Laura crying? She was talking to two police officers.
"What's going on, officers?" I asked them politely.
"Is she one of your children?"
Laura looked at me, stunned still.
"You can say that in a way... but I'm not fully adopted." I admit.
The cops looked at each other for a moment.
"What happened to Jon? Is he okay?" I asked in concern.
"He's uh..."
"He died in a car crash, Amara!" Laura broke out.
Jon... car crash... dead? No!!
"You got to be kidding!" I said in shock.
"We're sorry for your loss, ma'am." One cop says to me.
Jon... no... please. You're the only family I ever have.
"What's going on?" Micaela asked as I stepped into the backyard and try to let it all out. Michaela followed me.
"What happened to my dad?"
"He's dead, damn it!"
This also shocked Micaela abs made her shed tears.
"Dad.... No..." she began to sob.
Micaela and I embraced, sobbing. Laura eventually joined us sobbing.
Later... still in the past
I've been in my room, depressed over the news. Micaela was also trying to grief while also try to be single mother... Laura... she's also in her room depressed. The cops explained that he was trying to avoid a deer and hit a tree... I know I couldn't blame myself for it but... Jon was the one who took me under his wing. He let me be part of his family. He didn't see me as some poor beggar nomad who's homeless. He saw a broken teenager who needed not only just a friend but a family.
I looked over to the guitar... that same guitar he got for me. I looked at the case and I took a deep breath. I quietly put it in my guitar case and went to check on Michaela first and the twins.
"Goodbye, you two..." I whispered before kissing their cheeks as I looked over to Micaela. She must've wept herself to sleep.
Finally, I saw Laura and glanced over to her I turned my back and I heard her say, "where are you going?"
