Chapter 6-Hard To Say Goodbye
Faith didn't want to be here but as she walked to a place she hadn't visited what seemed like years when in actual reality it had only been a couple months but to anybody it can feel like years when things go so slow at times.
Even after all the things that had happened she almost didn't want to come but it was time and she knew what she had to do.
She stopped. This was it, no turning back, Faith had come to do one thing and one thing only.
Nervously she listened and looked to see if anybody was even close to her section but she heard nothing but the breeze of the trees and some lonesome bird chirping by itself.
Looking back to what she was standing in front of she took in a deep breath and then closed her eyes and found the strength she needed for this day.
"Don't know how I did it, or how I'm going to do it but I'll manage but I think, no I know, I found a way to let go yet still have a part of you," Faith could feel the tears coming, "it's your fault you know....hah, the attention always has to be on you doesn't it? Oh well, it always was, but that doesn't matter now. All I do know is it's your fault and if you hadn't gone down that one road,....well you know....I wouldn't be standing here talking to nobody in particularly."
Faith looked around again stopping and once more checking her surroundings and making sure nobody had sneaked up on her.
"You know, you won't have to worry, I'll take care of him....I know how much of a worrier you could be once you worried about something....you would never stop until you felt like it was solved or what not. But, I'll make sure I look out for him, the kid is just like you so I better keep my eyes really close on him, and yeah he already called me "Mommy", but hey, he will have to deal with it, it's one of my best qualities."
Tears sprung up in her eyes yet she was able to control them and they did not fall. She took in another deep breath and let it out slowly trying to find the words that she needed to get off her chest and knowing if she didn't say them now she would never feel closure.
"I have asked myself over and over....would I take back everything, meaning, never go through the pain of missing you, never arguing with you, never laughing at the things you had to say about the next lush. Take back meeting you....and you know,....I wouldn't for anything. I would go through it all over again if that meant hearing and seeing you again for one more time. Even if I went through that pain, that pain that I can never express into words that first thought of knowing you were long gone and never to be seen or heard from again. I just know for a fact I wouldn't trade anything for those moments and memories I shared with you."
Faith put her head down and closed her eyes tight the hot tears were beginning to overcome her power and were trying to escape out of her eyelids.
"They say the soul never dies just the body, well I hope with everything that your soul is brightening the heavens with it's radiant light."
Tears hit the soft unturned cold ground.
"It's so hard....to say goodbye and to just let go but we all have to do it, right?....So that's why I'm here, to say goodbye for one last time. To promise myself that I could do nothing for you, that there was nothing I could have done; who knows maybe one day I might see you again. I can't promise you though I won't think of you or cry on your birthday, but I can promise you, and I'll show you I can let go,"
As she had talked she had dug into her pocket and bending down Faith put something near the cement slab.
"Goodbye my partner, goodbye my best friend....goodbye my....my brother and the best person in the world and goodbye....Maurice Boscorelli."
Faith kissed her hand and laid it on the marker and with tears flowing now she turned and walked away and hoped she would never come back to this place.
As she walked away she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye yet as she looked there was nothing there. Then again it could have been the light but as she left she didn't see that somebody was standing by the tombstone, a man once named Bosco, smirking and watching as Faith walked away from the holy place.
"You finally let go."
Faith stopped. It was loud, loud as the thunder coming over the Great Lakes of Michigan, loud as a train roaring on by, yet still Faith didn't turn around. With fresh tears rolling down her warm cheek she couldn't help but a small smile. She knew who it was and Faith knew she was in good hands. So without looking back she said goodbye one more time in her heart and soul and left the cemetery.
A small picture laid on by Maurice Boscorelli's tombstone. They same picture Faith Yokas had sworn she could never depart from, the one she could never fathom throwing away or losing it, yet there it laid where it marked the other half of 55-David. Maurice Boscorelli, a.k.a., Bosco.
Epilogue
"Hey Faith, want to grab a drink or something?"
Faith looked over at her partner. She had already begun to walk away from him when he asked the question. She stopped and turned around and thought about it for a second. He was standing out in the street and looking at her.
"I thought you know it was kind of a hard day, so I thought maybe before you went home with the kids and Fred,....I don't know thought you want to unwind or something."
Bosco looked at Faith as she contemplated if to go or not but she made her decision.
"I'll take a rain check on that Boz, but thanks anyways....talk to you tomorrow."
He nodded his head.
"Tomorrow." he said softly to himself as he watched as Faith turned around and walked away. Shrugging his shoulders he made his way towards the classic Mustang sitting so perfectly and so proud, screaming it was a true born muscle car.
Faith could hear Bosco walking away and getting into his car. She felt the small breeze on her legs as she began to walk towards home. She would probably wave as Bosco drove by and she would then continue walking on by. But she stopped. Looking up the street she felt something. A cold shiver ran through her. She looked around. She didn't know what it was. Something was wrong.
The roar of Bosco's powerful engine made her come out of her thoughts. She looked down the street again and felt the shiver once more, coursing through her entire body. Not sure what it meant she shook her head and thought she was crazy. She quickly made her way back over to the car and knocked on the window. Bosco looked up as she opened the passenger door and slid into the car.
"You know what, I thought about it and I decided it doesn't sound so bad after all."
Bosco's eyes lightened up and he smirked.
"Hagardy's?" he asked.
"Yeah, Hagardy's, it is." answering him back.
Bosco looked over as Faith put her seat on and then as she clicked the lap belt over her legs he threw it back into reverse and then before she could say or do anything the car was screeching down the street.
Instead of taking a straight like Bosco always did to get home, he took a right, the way to get to the bar. Both of the off-duty cops would laugh and talk for a while then both would go home to their apartments and sleep in their warm and safe beds. Not once knowing about the Black SUV crashing into a light post. The same SUV that would of taken Bosco's life. The one that would have caused the collision the same damn car that would of wreaked so many lives and only because he wanted to drink and drive that night.
Roads are taken and lives are changed. Because Bosco went down the road and took a right, because Faith decided to go with Bosco to get a drink instead of letting him go down that road, he lived. Now Faith won't know what it was like to lose him. To know how to let go and she would never have that feeling of waking up and wanting to cry for the loss of her partner, her brother, her best friend. Both would live their lives, never knowing of that one day, that one fateful day where Faith didn't go with Bosco, where Faith would walk up to an accident and not even realize she was looking at a deadly car crash, a crash that had taken her partner's life. The night where she would know she had no control over life and no matter how much she cried it would never bring her partner back, of course without her consent.
