Escape from Tragedy

Chapter 26: This is just to much

"It feels so good to be home, I missed my bed" Sophia said as we opened the house door.

"Agree" Amilia said wheeling her suitcase in.

"Yeah, but I miss everyone already" I said as I closed the door.

"Same, but I can't wait for everyone to come for Christmas and New Years" Amilia said excited.

"It's going to be so much fun" Sophia said smiling ear to ear.

We struggled to bring our suitcases up the stairs and into our rooms. I swear we can't win with these suitcases.

I went into my room and it's just the way I left it. I can't want to sleep in my bed tonight. I laid my suitcases on the floor of my bedroom and took everything out. I rather unpack now, than later cause then I'll never do it. I put all of my dirty clothes in the dirty basket, put my clean clothes away, put my shoes back on the shelves. I opened my second suitcase and it's the things I brought from home.

My brothers blanket, my mom's favorite blanket, my dads favorite t-shirts, my moms favorite pair of earrings, shirt and pajamas. Also the last note my mom wrote me, along with the flower that was left with the note. I know my dad put that there from the garden, something he always did when I came home.

Going home I was so excited to go home and see my family, but that tend to change real quick, from the lawyers, the blanket, going to the cemetery, Liam knowing, going back to my house for the first time in six months, seeing Ryan and forgiving him... I don't even know if I do forgive him? if I only said that to set him free, my emotions are so everywhere I can't keep it together anymore. Its all too much and it is making it more real. I just wish my mom was here to tell me everything is going to be okay, but it won't and I'll never be able to hear her voice again...

I grabbed my moms and brothers blanket, my dad t-shirt and snuggled with it as I laid down, closing my eyes trying to shut the world out....

Two Days Later

I'm here at work and I don't even want to be here, I want to lay down and try to get myself together.. but I doubt that won't happen anytime soon....

"You need to tell me about your trip! When are you free?" Eva asked me snapping out of my thoughts.

"Umm today, tomorrow" I told her not really caring.

"Today, after work?" She asked me but with a hint of concern.

"Yeah" I told her smiling, trying to make it seem like everything is okay, knowing its not anymore.

We finished cleaning the cafe and locking the place up. Eva drove us to my house in her cute black Chevy car. When we got to my house, Max is waiting for us by the door, wagging his tail and excited to see us.

"Hey boy" Eva said smiling and petting him.

"Are you hungry? thirsty?" I asked as her as we walked towards the kitchen.

"Some water" she said as she petted Max.

"okay" I told her as I walked to the kitchen.

"What the hell?" Eva said looking at all the boxes and mail scattered all on the living room floor.

"I know girl, we need to go through it" I told her overwhelmed.
