It's time to go and Jenna insists I put on my bullet proof vest, which results in me having to put on her shirt because mine is too small for the vest to go over. It's a Pink Floyd shirt which I will be taking from here on out. I grab a purse out of Jenna's closet and put my phone, wallet, gun, and silencer inside. I walk into mom's room which we have labeled as Leah's room because she says she "wants to sleep where mommy slept", until she comes back. Leah's on the bed playing with her Barbie's with Bre. "Hey Bug we gotta put your inside jacket on Jenna said so", I say walking over to the bed. "Ok scarley, but I'm not wearing a outside jacket because the inside one is hot", she says running over to get it. "Alright squirt that's fine", I say helping her latch the clasps on the front of the jacket. We put her pink power Puff girls shirt on and start for the door. As soon as we get to the front door, Jenna stops me. "You're gonna be fine. Your strapped right", she asks more nervous than I am. "Yeah I've got it", I say pulling her into a hug. She hugs Leah and we all walk outside for the first time in two weeks. I keep my hand in my purse just a precautionary measure. We get to Bre's Ford Expedition and I buckle Leah into Bre's kids car seat and we take off down the road." So where we going", I ask trying to make sure I pay attention to directions just in case shit gets crazy. "Target I think we can find some thing there you guys may like", bre says focusing on the road. "That's fine, I haven't been to a Target in years", I say remembering the last time we went to Target. Mom had snuck us out while Dad was away he did like it when we went out with out him. He said we didn't go out without him because their was crazy people out there and he wanted to be there to take care of us. Who knew that he was one of those crazy people. Who knew two years later we would be orphans and be left with some woman we met only a week before Mom died. A woman I trust with my life. A women who's saved my life more than once. A woman that my younger sister already loves like a favorite Aunt. I know we'll be ok but I feel numb. I feel like a lost puppy that doesn't know we're to go. I hate this feeling I wish I felt ok and strong again. I don't know what to do but keep moving forward. "We're here", Bre says putting the car in park. Damnit I didn't pay attention to the fucking directions, I think as I get out of the car. "Okay so party clothes then, look for a present for the party", I say to Bre trying to map out this store at least so I can scan for exits. "Yeah if that's what you wanna do", she says before saying. "and I'm thinking we pick up chick fila before we go back home", she says nonchalantly. "That's cool I love chick fila", I say grabbing Leah's hand so she doesn't get lost. We walk over to the kids section of Target to find something yellow for Leah to wear for the funeral. We look around for about 10 minutes and Leah finds a simple yellow dress with white polka dots that she likes and we pick it up.

We walk over to the teen section and I spot a pretty yellow blouse and turn and show it to Bre. "That's really pretty do you know what will go really good with that", Bre says dragging me over to the jeans. She picks up a pair of black ripped jeans. "These two will go really good together but there's something missing", she says thinking for a minute. "Oh.. earrings", she says dragging us over to the earring stand in the corner of the women's sections. "Pick a pair of black earrings", she says gesturing to the stand. I pick a pair of fake gauges, I've always wanted gauges but im to chicken to actually stretch my ears. "Those will look cool ok let's head over to the present section", she says her eyes darting over to Leah.

We walk over to the toys and Leah's eyes light up. "Can I have one", she says eyes wide. "Yeah kiddo but pick another for me too if you pick a good one I'll let you keep that one too yeah", she says bending down to Leah's level. Leah ends up picking a little teddy bear dressed like a princess and a fairy Barbie. I swear she is the most girly six year old I've ever met. "That's really good choice little lady, I think I'll let you keep mine too how does that sound", she says sounding really excited. "Thank you Mrs Bre thank you", Leah says throwing her arms around Bre. "Those are really cool Bug you did good", I say walking with her to the books. "Thanks scarley I love them alot they are my friends", she says holding them up. "This one is called tabbita", she says holding the bear up. "And this one is called Jeannie", she says holding up the Barbie. "Well it's nice to meet you Tabitha and Jeannie", I say to the toys. We arrive at the books and I start looking around. I spot out of the corner of my eye favorite book that I had to leave behind because we couldn't fit it in the car, Everything Everything. It's about a girl that was trapped in her house for eighteen years because her mother tells her she's sick. Now that I think about it that's kinda like me, my father hardly let us outside, and we've basically been stuck in a car for the past year. " I like this Bre", I say holding up the book for Bre to see. "Isnt that a movie now", she says looking at the cover. "yeah I think so", I say not really knowing. "Anything else you want", she asks hopefully. "I can look at the CDs", I say trying to make her happy. We walk over to the CDs and I go straight over to the rock section. I see a five dollar bin and find find Green day dookie and guns and roses greatest hits. "Mom's gonna love that she loves guns and roses ok is that it", Bre asks. "Yeah that's good", I say as we start walk to check out. We pay and go to the car. We start to drive chick fila turning once and getting on a big intersection with chick fila on the right. Out of habit I track all the roads, something mom always taught me to do. We get three original chicken sandwiches meals and one chicken strip meal for Leah. We start the trip back home for the reality of my situation always sets in and I'm not prepared to go back to real life.
