I walked in the house, dazed and so deep in my thoughts that it took me awhile to realize that they were all crowded around me and that Rose was talking to me.
"Hm?" I asked, not really hearing her the first couple times. She repeated what she said but I wasn't even listening. All I could concentrate on was that this women right in front of me, whoin another lifetime, used to know my mom. They used to sit and gossip, and laugh, and dream. That she was still here, able to do all these things. Things my mom will never be able to do again.
That realization hit me with force. All I could think of is that they are actually dead. Dead. I mean, I knew they were dead. I just never realized that meant they weren't alive. I guess I'm not makimg much sense, but somehow, in my head I thought I'd get to see them again. Going to their graves led me to acknowledge that I never would.
As that thought went through my mind, something snapped. Sobs broke through and I fell to the floor. Distinctly, I saw that Rose was trying to get my attention. Dan was behind me, hugging me and even though he was touching me, I couldn't find it in myself yo be scared. Right now, all I could focus on was that they're dead and that I would never see them again. I turned around to Dan's warm embrace. I curled into him, letting my head rest at the curve o his shoulders. Than, I let all the pain out. I cried out all my agony to him, letting him comfirt me. And while in his warm embrace, I slowly drifted, falling into a dreamless sleep.
Peace did not stay with me for long. Nightmares
attacked me, one after another. Different memories of
my parents. Each one was like a punch to the stomach.
Each one ended the same. It would go from a memory
of us in the park to them walking away, leaving me
behind, not coming back no matter how much I cried.
Than the image would change, a new memory would
arrive, only for it to end with them walking away from
me. I called and called for them, screamed their names
as loud as I can but they wouldn't turn back.
"MOM! DAD! please, please, please-" my voice broke
out. They didn't come back but there was an annoying
shaking that got me up. I awoke to see Rose's worried
gaze.
"Hey, Em, its okay, hush baby, its okay," she whispered
to me as I clung to her My head was laying on her, her
shoulders muffling my broken cries. As she tried to
move, I clung to her closer not wanting the motherly
embrace to leave me. This was by far the worst dream
I've ever had.
"They left,They left," I told her in between broken cries.
She just rubbed circles on my back as she tried to sooth
me. After a couple more minutes in her warm embrace
I was able to gather myself enough to stop crying. I
pushed her slightly away.
"Can you- c-can you tell me about them?" I asked her,
wanting to hear about them. Wanting to see how she
remembered them, wanting to know a part of them I
will never get a chance to see myself.
I looked up to see her shocked expression.
"Please.." I pleaded with her, the familiar ache in my
heart getting worse.
"Please," I whispered again.
She looked at me surprise and confusion slowly turning to understanding.
"Okay," she whispered.
