Art Girls (Lesbian Story)

Chapter 40

Six feet, that's how far down they put you, with walls of dirt, snuggling you into your final resting place to sleep forever.

"Ready?"
Leah touched my arm peacefully.

Their crying had lessened as the funeral got closer and closer, everyone mourned in there own time frame, but no one ever truly stopped missing someone who has passed.

I watched as the dirt fell on top of her casket and I watched as the last bit sprinkled over her.

"Come on"
I felt my fathers hands grab my shoulders and motion me for the limo.

Leah an Cameron were already sitting in the limo ready to go, staring forward as if this was the last place in the world they'd want to be.

I wondered if Cameron's baby could feel her sadness, if she could feel that her mother was grieving for her own mother, I just watched Cameron rub her belly as if she ached for life to be proven to her.

"Hey"
I said, just above a whisper.

Cameron glanced at me.

"Is he kicking you?"

"Every time I cry he kicks, every time it's too silent he kicks"
Cameron gave me a soft smile as if she already had her answer, credence could feel her, sense her.

We pulled up into our mothers old house, the one where Ricky lived with his two children. Honestly I never tried to get to know them, it wasn't something I wanted to do, she had an entirely different family aside us.

"Ricky wanted us to pick up some stuff, I'll just be a minute then we can go"
Leah nodded and watched me get out of the car.

I stepped on the front porch and knocked on the door, no laughs no loud noises, just silence. Ricky opened the door holding his youngest child, he was on his own now, again, I couldn't imagine.

"Come in?"
He moved so I could walk past him

I walked inside seeing it clean like it had been before when I visited, when Leah broke her ankle.

"She was hit from the side, drivers side and it almost had her, but she was able to stay a little longer"
He sat his child down so she could wonder off.

"This is everything your mother had when she got here, I know after that my family took her, but there's pictures of you guys in there, and report cards and baby clothes, it's all things that belong to you guys and I wanted to make sure you all had that."

I took the box and nodded
"Thank you Ricky, I'm sorry you lost her too"

He nodded , accepting my condolences and walked me back outside.

"Be careful"

"You too"
I walked Down the steps towards the limo.

1:56 am, I woke up to Reagan's arm around me while I slept. Her warm touch kept me still, I didn't want to wake her.

"Are you okay?"
Her whisper on my neck made me think about the answer.

"Yeah- I woke up in my sleep and I just laid here"

I was staring off in the darkness besides the little light my computer tower was emitting.

"I love you"
I smiled to myself.

"I love you too"
She kissed my shoulder blade.

"How close are you and Georgia?"

I felt her shift behind me
"Well we are sisters, she tells me the important things like if she was to ever get pregnant"

I bit my lip, Reagan actually thought Georgia was straight.

"Do you think she would ever get pregnant?"

"She could, I mean if she put herself in that situation, but she could also get like an std or like commit murder or something"

I laughed at the thought of georgia actually doing something illegal, Brooke was totally the one for that. She had a wild spirit.

"I tell you what I can't wait too see again"
I laughed

"What?"
Reagan smiled

"Kyle- kyle trying to fish and fillet a fish"

"Next camping trip should be after cam has her baby, then Leah could go too"

I smiled
"I'd like that. Everyone to go"

"And Brooke, Brooke didn't go last time either"
Reagan informed me.

"If she is still living here, she's going"

"You live in a beach house, she isn't going to leave"
Reagan laughed.

"That will be fine too"

I closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of her laugh still carrying through my ears.

"Goodnight Katie"
I heard her soft voice speak after a few minutes of dead silence.

"Goodnight Reagan"
