Chapter 2
They moved their suitcases into their new house. They started unpacking in silence. They didn't know what to say. All they kept thinking about is whether moving away from Philadelphia was a good idea. They began to disagree from the idea. They missed their parents and Maria. However, staying in Philadelphia wouldn't bring back their family, only memories.

And so, after unpacking and rearranging for two hours in thought, the two realized they finished unpacking already. They didn't have much stuff. Most of their belongings had been burned in the fire except for a few items that they savaged from the living room, which happened to be pictures of the family.

After they conversed a little about randomness, they decided to go out and buy some more clothes. After the incident, Aaron and Wendy lived in a hotel for about a week. Family and friends sent money to help them out since Aaron was still attending University of Pennsylvania for medicine. Aaron couldn't accept all the money and tried to give it back, but they refused to take the money, saying Aaron needed it more than they did. So, Aaron and Wendy were forced to accept it and thanked them graciously for it.

Not only did they receive money from family and friends, but also they received two phone calls a few days after the incident. The first one was about their parents' life insurance. The second one was about their sister's, Maria, life insurance.

Maria was only nineteen but she joined the army instead of attending college. Her SAT scores weren't too high and their parents' wouldn't be able to get her completely through college without Maria paying for it. In the army, she went through basic training and passed her physical examinations and testing. Because she was officially a soldier, she received life insurance.

So Aaron and Wendy had enough money to pay for the hotel, purchase new attire and necessities, pay for their plane tickets, the shipment of Aaron's beloved silver Plymouth Neon and their new home in Everwood. They still had enough money for gas, bills, food and more clothes.

In order to earn more money as time goes by, Aaron planned to work at his new college, University of Denver, as an assistant and to hold a job nearby. Wendy, who wanted to help out, didn't want Aaron working too hard. She knew he needed plenty of time to be studying. In order for Aaron to become a doctor, Wendy knows he must memorize all of the medical terms, every single prescription medicine available and more. Of course, he wouldn't have to memorize it yet but it was the principal.

And so, after Aaron and Wendy finished their shopping, they headed over to the local high school to finish the enrollment of Wendy. After wasting a half an hour filling out forms and whatnot, they were released and told that Wendy starts the next day.

A whole new life was what Wendy was kind of hoping for. Nobody here knows the tragic events that took place in Philadelphia. It was for the best. Hopefully, no one will ask either. Every time she recalled what had happened, she had an urge to cry. At first she would proceed to cry but after a few days, she learned to compress her tears. Yes, it was definitely for the best.
