I ignored what all the adults were saying, they left with jim and I put down the stick and put my knife away.
I walked over to andrea who was still leaning over amy.
gale had the same idea, he wasn't to far behind me
I sat down and gale sat down next to me.
"I just came to play my respects." gale said
"did I ever mention how I lost my wife?" gale said
"cancer wasn't it?" andrea replied
"yeah, I dragged her to every doctor, every test. and after all the surgeries and the chemos, she was ready. she accepted it, you know? but I never could. and I spent the last few years so angry. I felt so cheated. since she passed, you girls were the first people that I cared anything for." gale said
andrea smiled but continued to look down at amy.
"I uhm, probably should give you this now.." I said
I handed andrea a craving that I made. it wasn't much, just a mermaid. I think amy would have liked it. she talked to me about them sometimes.
I don't usually like carving things but I just wanted to give amy something special.
andrea pulled out a redish rag.
"today is her birthday??" gale asked
"her birthday was always like..like a week long affair. but I somehow always missed it. I was away at collage, or too busy for kids parties. she'd call all excited. I always said I'd make it home and I really always meant to. but I never made it past that phone call." andrea said
"I know things are hard enough for you. without adding guilt to the mix, huh?" gale said
andrea unwrapped the plastic and took out a neckless. it had something on it but I couldn't tell what it was due to andreas hands being in the way.
andrea put the neckless around amys neck and gale got up and walked away.
I stayed where I was. I knew it wasn't long before amy turned but I just felt like staying.
"do you think I can be a bitch sometimes..?" andrea asked
"uhhh, that came out of nowhere. why do you ask me?" I said
"it might feel a little better coming from a 13 year olds mouth.." andrea said
"I don't see how it could make it any better but yeah. you can be a really bitch sometimes." I said
andrea nodded her head.
I could hear amy breathing very softly. andrea put her ear to amys mouth just to see.
"andre-" I started to say
"don't worry." andrea said
andrea raised her head and looked back at her sister. amys hands twitched and her body started to move.
I moved back a little but I was still curious. amy opened her eyes, her eyes moved toward where andrea was.
"amy.." andrea said
"andrea..that isn't amy.." I muttered
"amy, I'm sorry." andrea said
amy pulled a hand up to andreas head.
"I'm sorry for not ever being there. I always thought there'd be more time." andrea said
amy grabbed the back of andreas head and andrea kind of helped her sit up.
