Chapter 4

Christopher's return home

The look in his eyes had been pure terror...a look i'd hadn't seen since I rescued him so many years ago...A face i had never wanted to see again. I couldn't be enough of a man to face him...i could never ask him to trust me again. I ran off, nothing hummed in my mind except that named...the word that dripped with acid and burned deeper into my heart with each passing second. "Chester...Chester...Chester.....Chester. Of all the names he could have said.....it had to be Chester." I slept in the woods fearing that he may have gone home. Each bright sun followed by the bitter cold of night...6 days had passed before i new they had. i had to return but i new that if he was there i wouldn't know how to deal with it, but i walked the three miles or so it was back to my home....no not my home it was only a home if he was there waiting for me...without his love that was not my home any longer.

When i returned home, I was nearly tackled by Sophia...She was crying saying "where have been we have been so worried, where is Martin isn't he with you come on talk?" Without thinking i said " wait he never came home?"
