A Second Chance

Lunch was surprisingly good. He can cook better than I thought to be honest. We sat on the couch, watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He claimed Leonardo but I wanted to be Leo. He let me be Leonardo after I begged him for it.

"I wanna go to the park." Luke said.

"Why? It's raining." I asked.

"Exactly." He smiled down at me.

"Why would you want to go to the park when it's raining?"

"So we could dance in the rain."

"We might get sick."

"So? It'll be fun!" He stood up and grabbed my hand.

He pulled me up and we walked to the closet. I didn't have a raincoat yet, so I had to use his while he used Michael's- which was way too small for him. I put on his humongous rain boots as he put on Michael's, which surprisingly fit, and we headed outside.

There were puddles everywhere. It was raining, but not too hard. Luke ran around like a little kid and splashed in puddles. I giggled and did the same.

We were laughing so hard, jumping in puddles, splashing each other, soaking wet. We eventually went back in, getting the floor all wet and a bit muddy.

"Go wash up. I'll clean the mess." Luke told me as I took off his boots.

"No, I'll comeback down to help you." I said.

"It's alright, I'll clean it up." He insisted.

"Okay." I said.

He smiled down at me and I smiled back. I walked down the hall and up the stairs when I heard a gasp come from Ashton's room. I slowly walked up to his door and eavesdropped on what was happening.

"This just in, Shane Charleston's suicide note was finally found after 11 months. Found in the house the Charleston family lived in by Justin Parker. Parker says he wa-" the T.V. was shut off.

I started crying. He committed suicide? 11 months ago? Luke told me he was locked up somewhere far away! Papa's dead?

"Sara?" Ashton opened the door.

I fell to my knees, sobbing into my hands. I could hear doors open and probably Luke run up the stairs.

"Sara, what's wrong?" I heard Michael ask.

"P-Pap-pa." I stuttered.

"I'm sorry, Sara. I should have told you." I felt Luke's arms wrap around my shivering body.

I felt something I never felt before. Anger.
