My Girl
Chapter 13
Stacey, Claudia, Mary-Anne, Mallory, Dawn & Jessi were all getting changed quietly and quickly in former BSC headquarters. Today was the day.
'Daddy, Do I have to say goodbye to mommy?' Katie asked her daddy. Bart had got Katie changed into a black dress, she wore black tights, and had her hair in a French plait with a black bow.
Bart was wearing a black suit, It had been so hard for everyone who knew & loved Kristy. It was a week and a few days since her sudden death. And still Bart couldn't get his head around the fact that Kristy wouldn't be around anymore. The night she'd died. He thought he'd lost her and her was right.. And it hurt so much.
The fact that a drunk driver had hit Kristy had knocked every one again, Just like Amelia Freeman's death when they were in 8th grade.
Students against Drunk Drivers started at the branch of Stoneybrook University.
As Bart walked out of Katie's Bedroom. He glanced at what used to be Kristy's room. The door had remained shut. No one could bear to go in just yet.
He saw the mirror, and he looked at their reflection. Katie was on his right, clinging on too Bart's hand. He knew how she felt, if they let go they might lose each other.
Kristy suddenly appeared on the left of him and looked sad.
'Time to say our final goodbye's' she said to him
Bart nodded, and he reached out to touch her. But then she left.
'Just like that night' Bart thought
The clock in the hall chimed 12:00 p.m. They were going to leave at 12:05.
'Daddy, I really don't want to say goodbye to mommy, I don't want her to live with the angels. I want her to stay with you and me' Katie said innocently, a stray tear running down her cheek
Bart kneeled down so he was in eye level with Katie.
'Listen, I really want mommy to be with us too, And every night I keep looking at the stars and saying' I wished you'd come back soon' but I know that she needs to help all the sick people in heaven, Okay?'
'Okay' Katie sniffled. She put her arms out, and Bart decided to carry her downstairs.
Everyone was in the kitchen by then, all making small talk and drinking tea and coffee.
Everyone being Nanny, Watson, Elizabeth, Charlie, Amy, Sam, David Michael, Karen, Andrew and Emily Michelle. Everyone was wearing black.
The doorbell rang and instead of kids stampeding to the door yelling 'I'll get it'
'No I will' and arguing about it. No one even moved to get the door.
'Shall I get it?' Amy asked Elizabeth
Elizabeth nodded.
Amy walked past Bart & Katie and patted Bart on the shoulder. And offered him a small smile.
A few minutes later Mr & Mrs. Taylor joined the group of mourners. Mr. Taylor patted Bart on the shoulders.
Bart was so close to crying, but looking at Katie's face knew he had to be strong for her.
'I think it's time we go to the church' Watson said interrupting the silence of the house.
Everyone nodded and started to shuffle him or herself to the cars. Today was going to be the longest day of their lives. And for Kristy's family, and Kristy's friends, Probably one of the hardest.
Claudia, Stacey, Mary-Anne, Mallory, Jessi & Dawn linked arms. No one really talked, Their parents were behind them. All there to try and help the girls get throughout one of the hardest days of their life.
All wearing black. They all sombrely got in their cars with their parents.
'We are here today to celebrate the life of Kristy Thomas' The vicar started, The church was packed. People were standing, some where waiting outside, It went to show just how much people cared and liked Kristy.
In the front pews, Kristy's family, and Bart & Katie sat. Katie sat on hr fathers lap unable to understand why a lot of people were crying.
'And now Bart will say some words' The vicar said
Bart stood up,
'Take me with you' Katie said loudly. He picked her up and took her to where the vicar stood.
'Only people who knew Kristy would know how amazing she was. He saw the girls from the BSC nodding.'
'When she as 13, she came up with this amazing idea, to start a babysitting club, And she and her best friends worked together, and they used to run such a successful business'
'Then Kristy gave birth to our daughter, Katie' he said staring into his beautiful little girl's eyes. He gave her a smile.
Katie, feeling shy, rested her head on her dad's shoulder. And held him tighter.
'It always seemed when Kristy had an idea, She never failed until she did it, and it went well.'
Bart saw a faint smile on Elizabeth's face. Probably remembering her daughter.
'People could be nasty to Kristy, They could say anything they wanted about her. But Kristy wouldn't let it get to her. There was so much we had in common'
'I loved her with all my heart, And I always knew that she was the one for me, And I was sure we'd move in together, Kristy, Katie and me, a family and we'd get married, And maybe even have more kids. I wanted to grow old with her. And it hurts so much, Because I know that wont happen anymore'
Bart started to cry, and Katie looked up in alarm at her dad. And started to cry.
'That man has ruined what was going to be our future. And now Katie doesn't have a mother'
Bart started to cry harder
'I'm sorry… I' He walked down to where he was sitting.
The rest of the day went slowly.
And everyone was trying to get through it. No one could believe that Kristy was gone for good. But she was.
It was 3 weeks later, and Bart, Stacey, Mary-Anne, Dawn, Claudia, Mallory, Jessi, Nanny, Watson, Elizabeth, Charlie & Sam were at a cliff overlooking Sea City. One of Kristy's favourite places. The rest of the kids were at home, Being babysat by Amy.
Elizabeth took a handful of Kristy's ashes and let them be pushed away by the wind.
'I love you sweetheart'
The rest of the people took a small handful of Kristy's ashes and let them be blown away by the wind, each with their own message.
Finally Bart stood near the edge of the cliff
'In all my life Kristy, I've never loved anyone as much as I loved you, And I know I never will. I'll never forget you'
The remainder of the ashes danced away into the breezy, blue sky.
'Goodbye, Kristy' They all said. And all walked home.
And the flesh of Kristy might not be with them right there and then, But the spirit of Kristy would always live on. In their hearts
