An unforeseen visitor

Kate was sitting in front of her computer, when she heard the doorbell. She went through the corridor to the door and opened it.

„Claire? " She asked in surprise.

„Hi, Kate. Can I come in? " The Australian said.

„Yes. Yes of course. "

Claire, who looked pretty wrecked up, made two steps inside and Kate closed the door behind her.

„So, what brings you here, Claire?" Kate wanted to know.

„Oh, Kate it's so horrible. Jack. He. He died last night."

„What?" Kate needed to grab the back of the chair, which stood in the corridor.

„He took an overdose of drugs." Claire burst out into tears. "Why didn't he tell someone how he was feeling? We could have helped him" She said within sobs.

Still in shock Kate tried to comfort Claire, although comfort was the one thing Kate needed the most right now. „Shhh, Claire. It's okay."

When Claire was a little bit calmer Kate asked her to stay, but Claire said that she had to go and inform the others. „The funeral is next week. Saturday. Will you come?"

„Yes, of course. You can call me later and tell me exactly where and which time." Kate said.

„Okay. Goodbye Kate."

„Goodbye Claire."

When Kate had closed the door she went into the living room, shuted down her computer and tried to understand what she was just told.

Jack. He died last night.

Died last night. Died last night.

The words were repeating in her head. She looked outside in the garden. She had made it just after she moved into this little house. Finally a place to call home. At the garden were many different flowers and in the corner she had planted guavas.

-Flashback-

Jack: „Put out your hand. You'll like it. I swear."

He put something in her hand.

Kate: „ Gross, little greyish yellow thingies?"

She smiled.

Jack: „No, these are slimy, little, bluish black things."

Kate: „Guava seeds."

Jack: „What's a garden without guava?"

-Flashback End–

And then she realized that he was gone. Jack would never come back. He would never hold her and tell her that everything was going to be okay again. So Kate fell onto her couch and began to cry.

Next time: The funeral
