Meadow
THEY SAY IF it rains when someone dies, its heaven opening the doors for their soul. There was no rain that day.
I feel the warm hand of Rift grip mine as I look down the six foot hole.
Drew told us that their mother was an extreme catholic who suffered with a mental break down when their Father left her for a younger woman. Drew went with his Father to live but Mr Jacobs, Rift's Dad, stayed with their mother who told him women are whores who would be sent from the devil to corrupt him, with sin, she told him one would be sent to test him, to taunt him.
He believed my Mom was the whore and I was the sin. He was crazy, and I have the scars in my memory and a couple on my body that will stay with me forever to prove it.
The police told me he was the one who friend requested me on Facebook, using a fake account in Justin's name. That was where he got my address and details from. Social media stalkers paradise.
"You ready, baby?"
I'm ready. I drop the rose I was holding down the hole onto my Mom's coffin and let Rift lead me away.
Justin suffered a collapsed lung and huge blood loss but he pulled through. He put himself through some intense counselling at a medical facility and is coming to terms with everything that happened.
The police didn't question the death of Mr Jacobs after I told them he killed himself. Although they did an investigation the results confirmed my side of the story, he wasn't around to dispute it. I follow Rift to his bike, his lips dropping to mine. He pulls away and whispers, "You ready to start our life, baby?"
I smile and throw my leg over his bike.
