I'm Jamaica

Thirty one: My home

31

It was the day, I could hear the wild beating of my heart and I could feel how much I wanted to dance. My legs had grown much stronger so I paced from the room to the living area.

Kat was boiling a soup on a pile of woods.

"Jamaica are you still pacing around?"

"I am Kat, I am. I am so excited, I haven't seen them in weeks."

I went into the kitchen and sat on the stool.

"Now that I'm leaving, I hope you won't be too lonely."

Kat put her hand on her nose, waving the smoke away from her face, "Not really, there's Brandy but I'll miss you very much."

"I'll miss you too, I'll come around sometimes."

Kat smiled at me for a long time.

"I have something important to tell you."

Kat removed the pot from the fire and blew the fire out,"What's that?"

"Okay so I'm giving this advice because my mum and dad have been relationship coaches and I've read a lot of romance novels. I think you should look for Cole."

Kat stopped blowing out the fire. She stared at me like I wasn't human.

"You can't be serious."

"Actually I am. You should finish your love story Kat."

"But....what if he's married."

I said simply, "He's not."

"How do you know? Are you psychic?"

I chuckled, "I just know Kat and I am not psychic."

I left the kitchen while Kat stood still for a while taking what I said.

I sat in Kat's truck, Brandy in the back, as she drove out of the thick forest and unto a road. A black SUV sat there next to some trees with the reflection of the trees on the car's windshield.

"Is that their car?"

I nodded, "It is."

"You ready?"

I looked into Kat's honey brown eyes taking in every hue of it that I could.

"I'm not sure."

Kat squeezed my hand and whispered to me, "You can do it. They are your family, your people."

I nodded. My heart was beating way too fast, my palms turned sweaty and I grew a hundred degrees hotter.

"Go on, Jamaica."

I placed my sweaty palm on the door handle but I turned back to hug Kat.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

She hugged me back, "I should thank you. I'll look for him. I will."

I nodded and we broke our hug.

Brandy barked and I hugged him too, letting him lick me.

"Okay, I'm ready." I opened the door and let my legs out unto the rough road.

I stood still and took a step forward.

The door to the passenger's seat of dad's car flew open and my mum dashed out.

Mum ran faster than she ever had. I was so happy to see her. I ran to her and as soon as she got to me, she hugged me tightly and spoke into my hair, "my baby. My sweet baby."

I could tell she was crying, I was too. I'd missed her so much. I hugged mum tighter and she kissed my forehead.

I felt a man's hand on my back, it was dad. I burst into new tears, mum left me and I collapsed into dad's arms. I was in dad's arms for a good number of minutes.

Everything that happened after, I watched it in mum's arms.

Kat and Brandy met mum and dad. Dad thanked her a lot and even offered her money but Kat refused it.

I hugged Kat again and we all said our byes.

Mum led me to the car and we went home, my home.

Home! She's home.

I'm ecstatic.
