Everyone was asleep that night. Scott was silently sleeping next to me in our bed. Tears spill silently down my cheeks thinking about my mother. I get out of bed silently and walk out. not waking Scott. I sit on the couch and let the tears drop. wiping them off. I had gotten good after awhile for not crying to loudly.
"Mitch?"
I look up to see Kirstie with a tear stained face.
"Hey Kirst" I say, my voice cracking
She comes and hugs me tightly. I cry into her side
"I miss her Kirst. I miss him Kirst"
"I know Mitch"
"Why couldn't I have a normal life?" I say sobbing
"Not everyone has perfect lives."
"I k..know b..but"
"I know"
"Kirstie ill never forget my past"
I'd never known how much my past hurt me until that moment. When I was spilling my guts. It made me feel worthless.
"Mitch that's over remember?"
"I know..."
She holds me close and tell me she misses home too. That she was bawling her eyes out when she went to bed.
"I miss them." she says
"Me too." I say rubbing her back
She takes a deep sigh and rubs her eyes
"We should get back to bed Kirstie"
"Yeah."
I help her up and give her a hug. Now I notice even though I was short, Kirstie was a munchkin. She landed right at my chest on our hug.
"It's gonna be okay Kirst, I promise"
"Okay."
I walk her back to her room and then walk back to mine. I hop on bed, not waking Scott and drift back to sleep.
