Ch. 6 Falling Forward
~*~ "We're taking you out." said Tyler in his car rolling down the window. She saw Hank, Caitie and Jamie in the car too.
"What? I don't want to." Val replied continuing walking.
"No. choice." Caitie replied.
"It's been six months, you need to start living again." said Hank.
"No, I-"
"No, Val. Your going to listen. We've let you get away with not talking to us, but not anymore." said Tyler.
"Come on get in." Jamie replied. "What's one more, in this tiny car."
"The Elbow is not tiny." Tyler protested. ~*~
She remembered that that was when she began to be herself again. At least more like she was before Brooke had left. She smiled thinking about that memory.
~*~ "Do you want to go with me? To the Junior Prom?" Tyler asked nervously in front of her locker. It had been nine months since Brooke had disappeared . It seemed longer to her.
"Sure. Of course." she said as she smiled and then kissed him.~*~
She thought of Tyler now. and couldn't wait to see him.
~*~ "What are you doing?" Val asked her mother a she saw her putting some of Brooke's things away.
"It's been a year, Val. She's almost fourteen. She wouldn't want these things anyway."~*~
She thought about then. How things like setting three plates instead of four had become normal. How she cried when it had become so.
~*~ "Let's go out. We haven't done that in awhile." said her father looking up from his paper. ~*~
They became a family again that night. She reminded herself.
~*~ Val searched threw the pile of mail. "I got in!" she shouted. "I got exepted!" Val gleamed with joy. ~*~
She would go to NYU this fall.
~*~ "You're what?" Val tried not to shout into the phone.
"I'm pregnant." Caitie replied.
"What are you going to do? What does Jamie say?"
"We've decided to keep it.. Val I don't know what to do." Caitie cried.~*~
Caitie was seven months pregnant now, she and Jamie decided not to get married, they're futures were still un certain.
She finally made it to the crowed auditorium. She thought of the memories that filled the last two years.
The last two years without Brooke.
Val smiled at her parents as she was handed her diploma. She and her friends talked about the future and what would become of them. Val wished that Brooke was there too. Talking with Nick and Amanda about their upcoming sophomore year of high school. But, she wasn't.
Val didn't know if Brooke was alive or dead. She was angry, that she did know who or what had taken her away. She was angry because she knew she might never know.
If Brooke came home she would celebrate, if not she would continue to wait. She would always wait. For the laughable, smart , sarcastic, sister Brooke was. But, for now she would live...

Well that's it. I hope u like it. Sorry if it was too fast. I wanted to show two years, without saying two years had passed.
