Jerry my one and only

chapter 4

Marie's POV

I sat on my bed cupping my face with the tissues. Matthew sat on the desk chair we have in here... we,we,we that's what I call everything in here. but its true its still our room until I'm gone or worse he is. Matthew asks me why I started crying if I got so many letters? " Matt they were the ones i sent him. they were all returned un-opened." He looked down as if he were processing  this just as much as I was. "Matt its okay,he is fine it wasn't a farewell address." He looks up at me with watery eyes and nods. it kills me how he looks so much like jerry. I have to walk by this every day And all I see is jerry in a coffin with his dog tag around his neck. Matthew is the brother I will open up to, he's the nicer one. I get up and give him a hug. I know jerry is fine. He has to be. I'm soon reunited with the soft feel of the bed. I think of everything I did the day before. Things need to change.

Matthew's POV

I sat in the office chair and finally realized everything that Marie was going through these last two or three years she was always worried with when she was going  to be able to share that bed with my brother again. When she would be able to sing  and dance with him. Watch a movie with him again. Soon I felt Marie hug me, it was a re-assuring hug telling me he is fine. She walked n sat on the bad again running he fingers along Jerry's side of the bed. She tried maintaining a smile as she did this. As I watched I found my self crossing my eyebrows in confusion. I had never felt this way about her before. I felt a need to be there for her like a brother... I always felt not needed by her but now I do and I thank her. I got up from the chair tripping due to loss of balance. "Matt!! Are you okay!?!?" she yelled down to me. "yeah, just dizzy I guess." as soon as I answered she burst out laughing. once I regained my balance i pushed her onto the bed I stood by the post waiting for her to stop giggling."oh.....my....gosh...I'm.....so....sor-ry...it's...just..your...face." she finally let out and stopped. i sat on the corner of the bed and knitted my eyebrows together,"what do you mean my face?" I asked. " you looked like a two year old who was trying to stand up Matt..you looked unsure almost."

With that I smirked then shrugged and said bye I headed back down stairs to see David and his girlfriend playing my video games  so just grabbed the car keys And headed for my car.
