Teardrops still roll down when I think back to the tragic nights my mom and Haley died. Nobody had ever found out about the separate incidents. Only the mysterious, darkly dressed men knew, and somehow, they had managed to cover up every supernatural event that occurred since Kylel first arrived to Windsor. Whatever magic they used to bring Haley back from the dead was used to revive my mom. I found her stumbling around the house with no memory of Kylel or her own death.
All was well, but I never fully let go of Kylel even after the night he left. I never told a living soul about him. It was unlikely that anybody would have believed me anyway. My only concern was for his peace and safety. This would not be the last of him, not after everything he and I had gone through together. Not after every talk, every hug, and every kiss we shared together. He would come back. He will come back.
"Yeah."
I prayed for my mother's wellbeing every day. Her death was my fault, and I would carry that regret with me for the rest of my life. I had not realized how much I loved her until the night I lost her. If I could have gone back in time to tell my mom the truth about how I felt, her death might have been avoided entirely.
"Hey what'cha doin' sweetie?"
I looked up from my journal. There she was, my loving mother. Her stress wrinkles had vanished after her revival. She looked five years younger and beautiful than ever.
"Nothin', just writing stuff down mom."
I slid my black journal in the bookshelf with the others. Did I love my new life? Of course I did, but a piece of my heart still yearned for Kylel, despite twelve months passing.
"Are you thinking about him again?" Haley asked beside me.
I nodded. "Just trying to forget about him."
Haley leaned in to whisper, "You don't have to worry. Sometimes things happen that traumatize us, but we have to learn to move on or else the past could sneak up and attack us."
I giggled. Haley still made no sense.
"Thanks girl, I think I get the idea."
We snuggled together on the sofa, watching the television in our living room. Well, Mom and Haley watched the television. I stared just below it, watching wood burn in the fireplace.
