I was laying in my bed with my old wooden door locked as I slightly sob. Ever since my mom had died he always blamed me for it, after I lost my three friends it just made him blame me even more. He would tell me things like "I was a waste of life", or "I'm the reason people are dieing."
I had found an old house that I some what fixed up so I had somewhere to live but my dad has found it. " did you start dinner!" He yelled he banged on my front door
I looked around my room quickly before climbing out my back window. I ran to my old truck speeding down the road. I could see my dad yell as I drove past him. The only real person I had left was Javi, but since he's gotten back from the military he's been getting a new strom chasing group together. Ever since that day I lost all motivation to chase tornadoes.
I drive down his drive way turning the engine off. I wipe my tears away as I knock on the front door.
" hello.. Georgia!" He said speechless as he wrapped his arms around me " hi." I said a little embarrassed I forgot to mention that I have not seen him or Kate after that day. Yes we kept in touch but it was more of me staking his socials.
" it's so good to see you again." He said as I followed him into his house " I love your place." I smiled sitting at the kitchen table " I have great news!" He said " what is it?" I asked a little nervous " I found out where Kate is. She's living in New York and working with a weather station." " oh wow." I said surprised
" yes, I'm going to fly there tomorrow and convince her to help us with these new wave of tornados." " wait your going after tornados again?" I said concerned " Georgia they have been getting so bad and I really want to help people, if we can get the message out before one hits a big town we can save so many people."
I didn't say anything as flashbacks flooded my mind. " do you want to help us? I got some new people on my team." He said smiling " I'll think about it." I said standing up heading towards the door " where are you going?" " I really have a lot of stuff to do, I'll- I'll see you later." I said leaving as I walked back to my truck
The sun had now gone down as I drove past my house to see if my dad was still there. To my surprise he was gone. I park my truck in the back and go inside the dark house. I open a cabinet in the kitchen taking out a bin full of pictures. I set it down seeing all the old pictures.
There was one where me and Kate were holding our science fair first place ribbons, and there was another with javi and me sticking our tongues out. The picture behind that one drifted to the floor as I saw it was my mom and me on a tier swing, but in the background you can see a tornado starting to form.
I wish everything could go back to normal, I really miss my mom. I wipe a tear putting the box back as I wondered back to my room.
I layed in my bed crying myself to sleep that night.
