Jimmy’s P.O.V.
The lovely Ruby was gone. For once I felt like there was someone that was going to be there for me, that I wasn’t going to feel so alone anymore and here she is leaving me. Why did she have to do that? Why did she have to leave me like that? Why is everyone leaving me!?
“You OK uncle Shimmy?” Abby asked me and kissed my cheek. I looked at my niece and hugged her tightly.
“I will be,” I said gently and ran my fingers through her hair. I knew I would kick out of it sometime. I had to help Abby through her pain as well. She didn’t need to be a sad little two year old right now. She had every right to be happy which meant that I needed to grow up and take responsibility for her. But how can I? She isn’t my daughter and she isn’t helping that she looks like my sister and my best friend.
“Let’s go home, huh Abby?” I asked her. She nodded and cuddled up to me, letting her arms wrap around my neck as I got to my feet looking around for that beautiful girl Ruby. I wondered where she had went and why she left. I would of loved to invite her over for dinner or something even know it would of probably ended in disaster or something because of me.
“Ok,” She said gently. I saw my friends and they asked if we could meet at the studio for a meeting and I hesitated. Why did they want to meet? They probably wanted to continue the album. I knew Papa could help with the guitar but after that, we just can’t do it. I couldn’t do it.
“I guess,” I muttered to Matt. My dad drove me and Abby home and even though she was supposed to be in the car seat, I sat in the back with her in my arms never ever letting this precious little girl go. I felt so much better when she was in my arms and when she was gone, I felt heart broken and empty. I couldn’t have that and I swore that I would keep her safe for her mom and dad. I keep my promises.
They dropped me off at home and I brought sleeping Abby to the couch and tucked her in and went around the house and did some chores keeping myself occupied. My mind wondered off to the girl that was holding me at the grave. We were both holding one another and it felt really good. I really wanted to get to know this beautiful girl.
“You alright son?” My father asked me. I looked behind me and saw him coming into the kitchen as I put the dishes in the dish washer.
“I guess,” I muttered under my breath and pushed the door back inside the dish washer and started it and leaned against the counter looking down to my feet.
“Who was that before we left? The girl you were talking to?” He asked coming and leaning beside me.
“Her names Ruby, she knew sissy,” I said to my dad. He looked at me in confusion though.
“I didn’t know a Ruby,” He said.
“Neither did I,” I told my dad. My brain started to run around in circles trying to figure out who this girl was. I need to find her, I need to know how she knew my sister. All I knew was that I was going to be up all night trying to figure it out.
Ruby’s P.O.V.
I can’t believe I did that! That I left. I should of stayed with him. That was Katie’s brother but I was to angered to be with him. He would be hurting and he didn’t need me mixed up with him. I was angered with her. She lied to me the whole time we knew each other. I wanted to meet her, to finally be with my best friend and here she is dead the fist time I get to see her. Why did she have to do this to me!? She lied to me and I wasn’t ever going to let that go.
I came home with Elly and she was in the kitchen cooking dinner and I came and sat at the table. I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about what happened at Katie’s grave. Holding Jimmy and wishing that he was going to be alright. I started to think about the band and Brian and how he is dead. Two death’s in such short notice really got to me. I grew up with them guys and I was with them ever since they started. Brian was the best guitarist I had ever heard. Now he’s dead.
“You alright?” She asked me gently.
“Not really no,” I said tracing my finger on the table. I told her what happened and she sighed.
“I’m so sorry about this,” She said and she sat down across from me. I didn’t say anything, I really didn’t know what to say. If felt like I lost two friends in one day. All I knew was that I wanted to be with Jimmy and I don’t know why. I was holding him and it just felt right to do something like that. I just hoped I would see him in the future, to be with him when he needed someone.
The rest of the night I didn’t do much, I didn’t eat really all I did was think. Elly was trying really hard to make me happy but I couldn’t smile, there was nothing in my heart but hatred towards Katie. I didn’t know why she didn’t hate her and I didn’t know why she wasn’t so sad like I was. But what can I say, I was easily broken.
Then when I fell asleep, all I did was dream of Jimmy, Katie and Brian just hoping I could somehow see them again.
