The Dark Days

The Days After

It's hard being a single father, raising two kids on your own. Esme and Axel really miss their mom, Esme is at the age where she needs her the most. I work a little, but I like to spend as much time as I can with my family. Since we have money it's not a problem. It's been a year now, and it doesn't get any easier. People ask me if I'm going to start dating soon. I tell them you could never date after your soulmate dies. I go to her grave everyday. I sit there and tell her what's happening, even if she can't hear me it makes me feel a bit better. I like to think she is sitting on a cloud in heaven, just watching us. I hope that's true, I know that's true. We live in Jades house in Maine, and I had her buried at the closet graveyard. Axel isn't doing to bad, he is the most popular kid I've ever seen. I don't know if that's his way to cope, just throwing himself into his social life. As for Esme, well she was diagnosed with depression, she throws herself into her school life. She does very well, but I feel bad for her because she never has any friends over. One day I fear she will want to go to my hometown back in Washington. I don't want her to find out about my past.... our past.
I don't ever talk to Haunter anymore, the last time I talked to him was the day after Jade died he called and said "I'm sorry for your loss." I don't want to be involved with that stuff now that I have kids. We have enough trouble not that it is. For now I guess I will just try and move day by day. I don't think we'll ever make it out of the Dark Days.
