Jimmy’s P.O.V.
Staying with my mom and dad wasn’t such a good idea but, I wasn’t alone. That was the only good thing about it. I didn’t want to be alone and do something horribly stupid. My friends still needed me and if I died on my mom and dad too, it would be devastating. They lost their youngest little girl and if they lost me, it just wouldn’t be good.
“Hey baby boy,” My mother said gently standing at the door frame of my old bedroom. I sat up from bed amd gave her a small smkile and pulled my knees up to my chest and sighed. She came over to my bed side and sat down beside me and put her hand on top of mine.
“Its going to be alright Jimmy, I promise.” She said lightly. She didn’t look alright either, no one was. She looked the worse though. Dad said that she wasn’t eating right and would hid away in the bedroom for the majority of the time.
“I know mom, it’s hard,” I whispered. She nodded and came and kissed the top of my head.
“Papa is going to bring by Abby in an hour. I know she can help you James,” She told me and I just nodded. I knew that Abby could help me too, she can help anyone. She was Brian and Katie’s precious little girl. I was actually really happy to see my niece today. But I don’t even know if I could call her my niece anymore since I am going to have to take care of her for now on, God willing. I was going to be a mother and a father.
I’m a father.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I’m a father now. Something that I was trying to avoid for the longest time. Not because I was scared or anything but because of the wife part. I was married before and it was nothing but hell. She still didn’t leave me alone and the more I thought about it, the more I grew worried that she was going to come back to me now that I was vulnerable, great.
I groaned and got out of bed and found some clean clothes and grabbed a shower and stepped out and made my way downstairs to me mother and father holding each other on the couch crying. I looked down onto the coffee table and saw my baby sister and my brother’s wedding pictures. Remembering it made my chest tightened. I remember how beautiful Katie was, how happy Brian look with the beaming smile and the radiant smile on his face.
Their gone, never again they were going to be here. I looked away from the photo book and came into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water but busted the glass from the anger inside that was building up in me. I was depressed, I was angered, I just wanted them to be alive! They can’t be gone! They were just here!
I looked down to the sink seeing blood and busted glass but I didn’t care. It was the last thing I could care about. I was bleeding and to be honest, it felt good. It felt good to feel another pain then the one that was in my chest.
“Jimmy!” I heard my father call my name and I snapped out of it and looked down to my hand feeling the stinging run up my arm and I gritted my teeth and turned off the faucet.
“I’ll be fine,” I mumbled and ran up to the bathroom and cleaned up. I wrapped it up in the gauze and taped it up and started to remember the crazy things that my sister and I did when we were younger, all the things we would do to hurt one another. My mom would always get upset at us about it.
I chuckled and fought the tears in my eyes and heard the doorbell rang. Abby, sweet baby Abigail was home now.
I came down the stairs and answered the door seeing a very happy little girl turning from her grandpa and outstretching her arms calling out for me and my heart flipped and a smile spread on my face.
I was going to be alright after all.
Ruby’s P.O.V.
It was all a lie. Elly told me what had happened and everything Katie had ever told me was a lie. She never told me that she was married ,that she had a baby, that she was Jimmy Sullivan’s baby sister. She told me that she lived in Germany, that she lived with terrible parents and moved to California and she said that she was working and had a boyfriend. How can I be so stupid?
“I’m sorry, Ruby,” Elly told me. I looked up to her and nodded, her trying to cheer me up but that wasn’t going to help. Katie was my big sister that I loved with all of my heart and now she was gone away from me, forever.
I hate her, I hate everything about that lier! That’s all she did was lye to me! Why couldn’t she just tell me the truth for once? Elly had left the room and I just started to trash it. Yelling saying how much I hated her, how sick she was to me and how I was never going to forgive her for what he had done to me.
Then after everything was a mess, I fell to my knees and just cried for my sister back, for my best friend and just wished that it was me that died.
Nothing was ever going to be the same.
