At the age of eight years-old August Thompson experienced the greatest loss a child could witness yet: the death of a parent.
Her father, Mathew Thompson, would be missed and mourned by many but not forgotten at all while he will continue to live on amongst the lives he'd wondered upon, hers included.
But while everyone was crying over him and his tragic ends, she was trying to figure out how could she miss a man she hardly even knew?
As heartless as it sounded, August probably spent about a total of one year with the guy since she'd been born, and in that one year it didn't consist of memorable memories that were short-lived and meant to be reminisced about but instead they were just filled with a solitude sort of silence that she would never endure with him again.
To be clear they shared a love for books.
And the only time she saw him was when they would sit in the same room and simply stare down at the ink on paper. In truth, it was comforting in a way, however much comfort it can offer a young girl who probably didn't even understand the words she was gazing at. But still, quality time was quality time.
All she really knew about Mathew was that her mother loved him entirely despite his lack of presence. In fact Lorelei probably lived off his love daily with the way her mood often depended on what terms they were on.
August never really understood how you could care about someone that much, so much that after they are gone you disappear for three months and leave your daughter with one of your friends.
However there was no complaints, August loved Katherine since she was merely a baby, seeing her more than she saw both of her parents combined resulted to that fact.
Yet no one in that household quite understood why she wasn't affected by the death of her dad, with the way she continued on with her days acting as if the events never happened, they questioned if she just grieved weird due to trauma.
Obviously that wasn't the case though because she didn't show any symptoms of it.
However there eventually did come a time when she cried, not for the reasons they might've suspected but for another: August just wanted her mom.
At first life with the Walters was amazing, she figured that her mother would've shown up eventually, but after days and days of being proven wrong the little girl finally cried when she thought her mother met the same fate her other parent had.
August Thompson loved her mother.
And after not seeing her for three months she finally understood the pain that Lorelei went through when she lost Mathew. Despite the situations being different, her eight year-old brain operated it as if it was the same, probably because there was no communication whatsoever and the line she was taking to was cut off.
After five months of being gone Lorelei finally came back.
Just not in the same way she was.
August eased dropped on her conversation with Katherine the night of her return, catching minor details that consisted of situations that she didn't comprehend well at that time.
Isaac and Lee had tried to help her decipher the problem themselves but if she didn't understand then the chances that they did were slim.
It was a day later until Lorelei finally found the courage to talk to her own daughter, and she gained the confidence in the middle of the night, having to awake her from her slumber.
She didn't even apologize for leaving.
Yet August forgave her in her mind.
They were looking at the stars that evening from the room's window while Lorelei only explained the complications of life.
August, again being too young, had trouble processing the emotions being shared. It wasn't her specialty, she was more of a book smart person considering there was only one right answer, emotions contained too many outcomes.
Though one thing stuck in her mind amidst that chaotic night that slightly aided her comprehending in the confusing topic.
"In the end it all comes down to love."
