Chris has the sudden look of surprise in awe of what he had just heard, as did the rest of the Curtis Brothers just dumbstruck

I grew silent after finishing the story. I look over my shoulder to see that even my dad was stunned by some of the details he had not heard before. I sigh and say "And that's all I have to say about that. I hope that answers all your questions, if not, keep asking"No one could say anything, being stunned by the detail and tragic story, all answers, have been answered to the questions that once began.

I stand up quietly and grab a light jacket. "Dad, I'm gunna take a walk" I say quietly. "If Lynzie or Mat wake up, tell them Lorie will be back soon..."Everyone knew why I was going to take a walk. I could barely stand silence, but uneasy silences like this tore me up inside.

Darry walks out and joins me and slung a brotherly arm around my shoulders ''Hey kid can I walk with you too?''

"Sure, Darry" I mumble as I lean against him as we start to walk.

He sighs quietly ''You know...I didn't know all that happened...seems so rough..Matthew was luckier in a way than Lynzie was, but seems like you got out the safest?''

"It may seem that way. Mat is the best off right now. He never really had to go through with tragedy. My mom took real good care of him and he grew up knowing his two sisters because I always brought them together. Lynzie had it a bit worse than I did, in he first four years but im somewhere in the middle, with the fighting and argument over me, I was only four but I always wished I had a place to run to... I didn't tell any of you because it never seemed to be told, until now."

Darry nods in understanding.

I sigh. The silence was killing me. I started singing something quietly, it was a chorus to a song my mom would always sing me, and I knew she sung to the twins as well.

"The seasons, the go round and round

and the painted ponies go up and down

we're captive on a carousel of time.

We cant return we can only look

behind from where we came

and go round and round and round

on the circle game" (These are lyrics by Joni Mitchell by the way)

Darry smiles ''That's a neat song''

I nod. "When I think of my mom, that's the one thing that comes to mind. The full song goes talking about the story of a boy, starting at when he was six, then to when he was ten, ten twenty, talking bout what he does in that time, and always those lyrics pop up in between each part. I cherish that song" My voice grew quiet and silence pulled me into its trap of memories. After a while, we headed back towards the house. I wasn't sure if the twins were up, but I did know I felt like a small load was taken off me after talking just that little bit with Darry. I was ready to face reality again.
