Goodbye Mom & Dad
As usual that Sunday morning Alex my younger brother and I were woken up early by the yelling and screaming going on downstairs
between our mother and father.
Eve: "Al, how many times have I told you to make sure there's enough gas in the car before we go on long trips?"
Al: "Eve, it's not that long a drive to the Exxon station."
Eve rolling her eyes in disgust :"Al the closest one is across town, to Adventure drive. I told my Parents, we would be there by noon
it's already 10:45 in the morning. By the time you drive to the station get gas and drive back will already take 20min."
Al: "I'll be back before you know it. Why do we have to go today anyhow. It's like ninety degrees out. All we need is to go out driving in
this weather taking a chance of the car overheating"
Mom let out a long sigh,
Eve:"You know since momma died he wanted to teach you and Ryder the business."
Al: "I don't see why He needs to teach Ryder the kids only 14 he can't even drive yet." Dad muttered
Eve:"He wasn't much older then the twins when his father taught him. Just hurry up."
All of a sudden I heard the sound of Alex crying.
Ryder: "Hey buddy what's up?"
Alex: "Timmy told me his mommy and daddy live far away from each other now because when they were together they were always
yelling like mommy and daddy always do. Now he only sees his daddy on weekends."
Katie my twin sister came in our room and put her arm around him. :"Don't worry Alex, mommy and daddy may be angry at
each other sometimes but they wouldn't split up like Timmy's mommy and daddy. The day wouldn't be complete without the annual fight."
Alex wiping away the tears: "But why Katie, why can't they get along like the mommies and daddies on tv?"
Ryder: "Buddy, that's make believe they, they..."
Katie let out a long sigh glancing over at me and our little brother sadly.
Katie: Some people just don't get along with each other all the time. It doesn't mean they don't like each other?" she said reading
my thoughts and finishing my sentence as she always did. (My sister and I were 14 yr old twins, often thinking the same thoughts and
saying the same things.) Our parents always told us Katie was a few minutes older then myself but we had always been so close it almost
seemed as if we were the same person. Ryder: Katie and I fight sometimes, you and I fight sometimes. It doesn't mean we don't like
eachother." Alex: "Then why did they get married. If mommies and daddies can't be nice to eachother, they shouldn't be together?"
Katie stepped over to me near my bed across from Alex's.
Katie: "You know for a six year old sometimes I think he makes more sense then most other six year olds do."she whispered to
me.
Ryder: "Kat you know why they got married, they had too. Or Grandma and Grandpa would have been angry."
Katie: "Well it was thier own faults they weren't careful."
Alex: "Why Ryder?" my little brother asked us again.
Ryder: "One day Buddy one day when you're older, we'll tell you."
Alex: "When? you always tell me to wait till I'm bigger. When will I be able to know?"
Katie: "Alex why don't you just get dressed to go to grandpa's,ok?"
Alex: "Alright, Ryder can you help me with my buttons?" Alex said indicating his white dress shirt and jeans.
Ryder: "Sure come on over here ok." Alex forced a smile on his face and walked over to me as I was buttoning my own shirt.
Ryder:"Kat? why did you come in anyhow?"
Katie:"To tell you Chase was whining by the door. I couldn't walk him cause I was getting ready."
Ryder: "Ok I'll take him out before we leave Kat?"
Just then we heard the front door slam. Katie and I looked at each other. The three of us headed
to the window between Alex and my beds. I watched my sister walk to Alex's bed about to sit down.
Ryder: "Kat no don't sit."
Katie: "Why not Ryder?
Ryder: "Well Alex, " I paused.
Katie: Katie looked at me confused at first, then looked over at Alex... "Oh did he..."
Ryder: "Yeah he wet the bed again. Twice last night probably nervous about the trip. It's been so long since he's been there."
I whispered to her when Alex walked away. I didn't want to embarrass him anymore by telling her.
Katie: "Right two years ago at grandma's funeral. He was only four and we were only twelve
Alex:"What happened Kat, Ryder?" Alex asked as we heard the car door slam shut !
Katie: "Nothing dad just got in the car."
Alex: "Is he coming back?"
Katie looked over at us then down at the blue carpet.
Katie: "If it was me I wouldn't" I heard her mutter.
Ryder: "Shh Kat, we don't want to upset him. He's probably going to the station, ok Alex there you go all
buttoned up." I said forcing a smile.
Katie: "Ryder did you take care of it already?"
Ryder: "Yeah last night I changed everything."
Eve: "Kids are you dressed and ready, we're leaving soon." We heard mom call from downstairs.
Ryder: "Well we better go down." I said taking my little brother's hand leading him down the steps, with Katie
behind us. As we reached the kitchen Katie took his hand from mine and led him to the table.
Ryder: "I better take care of Chase." I said getting our German Shepard, Chase's blue leash and clipping it on
his collar. I heard him growl softly (He hated when we had to leash him or leave him.)
Ryder: "I'll be right back mom just gonna take Chase for a walk so we'll be ready when we leave."
Eve: "Sure honey, maybe by then your stubborn father will be home."
Sighing I just led Chase over to the corner. Waiting for him to finish I sat down on one of the rocks in front of
Chase's favorite tree. Thinking about what my brother and sister had said earlier that morning. Suddenly I felt Chase's
wet nose nuzzling my leg whimpering.
Ryder: "Hey buddy I know you hate being chained up. Not much longer." I took his leash and led him back home.
Just as we turned the corner I saw Dad pull in the driveway. Excited I watched Alex run over to him. Not far behind him
I saw Katie and her prissy little Kitten Callie. Never in the 5 years we had her since our mom and dad rescued her from
a local animal shelter, had I ever seen a kitten with such a snotty, prissy how much my sister loved her I put my
thoughts behind and forced myself to like the prissy thing.
Al: "Ok kids you ready to go?"
Katie: "Yes daddy."
Eve: "Hold on you guys, Did you all go before? we'll probably hit traffic and I really don't want to stop off anywhere.
Katie,Ryder make sure those animals are taken care of before you put them in the car. Food,Water, That squeaky
mouse Callie likes, and Chase's pull toy. "
Ryder and Katie: "Yes Mom."
Getting the last of our bags I put them in back. While Katie buckled Alex in his child seat. Once we were all packed
in Dad checked the GPS once more. Then buckled up the seat belt and turned the radio and air conditioner on. The first half of
the trip niether mom or dad said much to one another. I was playing one of my video games. While Alex tried making
suggestions to what moves I should make to win. Katie was sitting on the other side of Alex's child seat in the middle of
the back seat. As usual she was occupying herself with one of her boring novels about Teenagers stealing boyfriends and
girlfriends from eachother. Parents cheating on one another. I glanced over at her smirking.
Ryder: "So how many teens became drug dealers,or ended up in jail in this educational story sis?" Katie rolled her eyes
at me.
Katie:" Well at least my stories are more educational then all those dumb video games you always play."
Alex: "They're not dumb. Ryder made it to the 6th level in Car Crush,right Ryder?"
Katie: "Wow I'll call up all the Car dealerships and tell them my twin brother is such a genious!" Katie said sarcastically.
Alex:"Why don't you tell the people in front of us, They look important right Daddy?"
I glanced up to see two Cop cars and an ambulance.
Al: "Shoot, this is all we need now. Ok kids hang on Eve can you take one last look at the directions your father gave us
and see if there's a different road we can take to avoid the accident."
Eve: "Al Adventure Drive is in the middle of that old abandoned town we grew up in you know there isn't."
Al: "Right ok then, I'll try to avoid it."
Eve:"Al, You can't it's not possible."
Al: "Eve, who's the one behind the wheel here?Me and I'll have to hang on, Kids you too." Suddenly we felt a strong jerk
and heard a loud slam in the back.
Next to me Katie was holding onto the seat. Between the two of us, Alex was clinging to me. My video game flew
out of my hands hitting the seat in front. On the floor of the car. I heard Chase in his dog carrier whimpering,next to Callie
in hers whimpering as well.
Everything seemed to grow dark, then we felt one last jerk. Opening my eyes I looked around. There was a painful
headache throbbing in my head.
Katie: "Ry, are you ok?" she softly said.
Ryder: "Yeah Kat, along with my pounding head, I'm fine sis."
Alex: "Mommy, Daddy, Ryder Katie where's mommy?" I looked at him and glanced over at my sister.
Ryder: "I'm sure she's fine."
Taking a deep breath I got out slowly. Next to me I heard Katie crying,while Alex just stood next to her clinging to
her hand.
Alex: "Katie,Ryder wh what happened?"
Ryder: "Nothing buddy just go on over to that tree over there with Katie and the animals.I have to make a quick
call."
Alex: "Okay Ryder."
I watched my brother and sister slowly walk over to the tree I noticed Katie was limping. Quickly I salvaged
as many pieces of luggage as I could,trying hard not to look at our parents cut up and unconcious in the front
seat. Quickly I pulled out my mother's purse that had been in the front with them, noticing daddy's wallet I
got that also handing them both to Katie. Looking at the cell phone in my hand I called 911.
EMT: "911 can I help you?" a female attendant was saying on the other end.
Ryder: "Yes miss. my parents and brother and sister were in a car accident. I told her the street we were on
and joined my brother,sister,and our pets by the tree, waiting for the Ambulance to arrive.
Within minutes I heard the siren of an ambulance in the distance. After it parked a man and woman got out
with thier medical bags.
EMT 1 (Female) : "Hi kid what happened?"
Katie: "It's obvious isn't it." I heard my sister snap through the tears.I reached over to hug her and I began
crying along with the two of them.
Ryder: "Kat take it easy you'll scare Alex." I whispered
Katie: "Sorry I guess I'm just upset."
EMT 2 (Male) : " Well are any of the rest of you hurt"
Alex: "Where's my mommy and daddy?"
I looked over at Katie. Katie nodded wiping her tears.
Katie:"Um Alex why don't we go see if Chase and Callie have enough food and water?"
Alex: "Ok Kat." He said with a bit of happiness.
He always liked playing with the animals and at that moment we knew he wouldn't understand what we
meant by telling him the truth.
EMT 1 (female): "Are there any other relatives you know around here?"
Ryder : "Yeah our grandpa, we were on our way to go there when this happened."
EMT 2 (Male): "Do you know the number kids?"
Katie: "Yeah it's in daddy's carry-on"
I looked around at the car all crushed, the windows broken. Mom and Dad's Lifeless bodies holding on to
eachother. It was one of the few times we had ever seen them so close to eachother. Always fighting.
Tearfully I went through the luggage we were able to salvage when we got out of the car. Spotting Dad's
blue carry-on that he always took on business trips with him. Slowly I unzipped it amazed at how neat the
things inside,still were. Still folded up aside from one or two torn pieces of clothing everything else seemed
perfect, as if nothing happened. Gently I pulled out the piece of paper with grandpa's number and address
written on it packed in the outside pocket. I saw some dried up blood stuck on it and gave it to the EMT workers
my hand shaking. Looking at the car I thought about the video game I had been playing. (Never had any of
the cars in my games ever looked so gruesome, as the sight in front of us of our own car all broken and crushed.)
EMT 2(Male) : "Ok why don't you join your brother and sister over by the tree and I'll call him, His name is
Horace Porter?"
Ryder: "Yes." I said watching him dial our grandfather Within moments I saw our grandfather's blue delivery
mini-van approaching. Thankfully by now Alex had fallen asleep from exaustion, on Katie's lap as she sat down
against the tree next to the animals. I had let Chase out and he sat watching he came up to me licking my face.
Callie as snobby as she always was, perched above us in the tree, mewing as she watched the commotion as
well.
