THEevents of our lives had twisted and turned so many times, I'd just say we were on a roller coaster now.
I sighed, closing my eyes as I felt ripples of the soft waves around me. My surfboard swayed in the sea where I was just sitting on it, out on the flat side as the gentle breeze blew past me. Making me shiver slightly from the cold.
The feeling of being here, in the ocean, it calmed me.
Even after what I'd done, it was still the only thing that can provide utter calmness and bliss to me--coming second to being in JJ's arms--of course.
I was one with the ocean. My fear...of John B never returning. Of not wanting to swim or surf for a month straight after JB and Sarah were presumed dead. After jumping. It was all gone. I was still one with the Ocean.
I can never survive without the ocean.
The slight sunlight that streaked its way through the thick rain clouds that had painted the sky grey, graced me. I felt the warmth of the sunlight on my skin as I sighed again. Droplets of water started to pour, the gentle sprinkle of rain, the echo of the drops hitting the flat surface of the sea and soft waves making me sway....somehow brought me back to life.
Made me feel like I was alive.
Alive, when I felt dead inside after everything that has happened.
My brother had been caught. He was arrested for a crime he did not commit. He's been in the jail for the past two weeks, while all I could do was pray that we could weazel our way out of this madness.
Carter had been released from the hospital, his shoulder is much better, but he's not allowed out in the field for the next eight months to completely recover and get in shape. He's been home frequently. It's almost like he lives at the Chateau with JJ, Sarah and I.
Sarah has taken John B's room, just crying herself to sleep everyday. JJ worries about her and I try to be there for her, but she thinks its her fault that John B got arrested. She blames herself, as she was the one who wanted to come back home, and now, everything was hell, once again.
JJ and I try to comfort her, but she doesn't believe us.
Carter has taken the pull out sofa and works around the house, keeping it clean and working in the shed here and there. Being there whenever any one of us needed him. He's really becoming our backbone. Our rock.
Kie and Pope visit us everyday. We are worried for what is to come. Jackson visits daily as well, bringing reports or ideas for extracting evidence to prove my brother's innocence, as well as help Carter with his physio exercise. Sometimes when Jack can't come, Kie volunteers and helps Carter with his exercises.
