REHASHING THE PAST

Part 24

Klayton and Dimitra sat down. "First I wanted to give you this". He opened the box and in it was a photo album of the pictures they found at the horror house. Tears fell down his face as he looked at the pictures. "Thank you" wiping the tears away. "And I found this a few days ago it looks like John wrote it for you" giving him the envelope. He opened the letter and started to read it.

SCOTT

I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE THE BRAVEST MAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN. YOU MAY OF HAD A TROUBLE CHILDHOOD BUT YOU DID WHAT YOU COULD TO KEEP YOUR SISTER SAFE. DO NOT THINK THAT YOU DID NOTHING TO SAVE YOUR SISTER BUT YOU DID BY SENDING THAT EVIL MAN TO JAIL. THANK YOU FOR THE VISITS YOU GAVE ME IT MADE ME FEEL GOOD THROUGH THOSE TOUGH TIMES. I EVEN CONSIDER YOU MY SON SCOTT AND I HOPE IN THE YEARS TO COME YOU DON'T FORGET US AND WHO YOU ARE.

YOUR 'FATHER'
JOHN

Klayton dried the tears from his face and gave Dimitra a hug thanking her for the album and the letter. She gave him a hug as Criss came and cleared his throat. "Sorry to break this up but I got to get to the airport"Criss said. "I should get my little roommate home too how about dinner tomorrow at my house Ms. D"Klayton suggested. "Don't forget to order garlic crust with the pepperoni pizza"she replied as Klayton chuckled. He gave Criss a hug and told him he'd come to vegas for a boy's night. At the house Carrie and Klayton walked in and let Stoney roam around. "I have something for you".

She gave Klayton a photo frame and in it was the picture of him and his sister. "I told you I'd get you a new one" as Klayton smiled. "Why don't you go order us some dinner while I go put this down stairs"Klayton replied. "Allright but I'm not ordering any anchovies you had every feral cat in the neighborhood when I cleaned out all of those pizza boxes"Carrie remarked as Klayton laughed. Downstairs Klayton put the picture down and looked at it.

"Well Amanda we're finally free of that monster of a father. I still miss you but I know that when it comes times to see you again up in heaven I can't wait to give you a hug". All of a sudden Aerosmith's song ANGEL started to play Klayton turned and coming over with her hair blowing. For a second Klayton thought he was hallunating as she walked over. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME SAFE. YOU MAY THINK YOU DIDN'T SAVE ME FROM DAD BUT I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT YOU DID BY STANDING UP TO DAD AND PUTTING HIM IN JAIL. I MISS YOU SO MUCH BUT I'M HAPPY THAT YOU FOUND A GREAT FAMILY TO BE A PART OF and gave him a kiss on his face.

All of a sudden the music stopped and Amanda was gone. "Klayton were you playing Aerosmith?"she asked coming down. "Yea Angel it reminds me of Amanda"he replied. "That's my favorite song too why don't you come up they are showing my favorite Godzilla movie on tv". Klayton smiled as he chased Carrie up the stairs.
