Making A Choice.....
Liliana stepped outside the lodging house into the beautiful summer day. Sighing, she walked down the steps.
"Hey Liliana, wait!," called Blink as he raced out of the lodging house. Liliana pretended not to hear him as she continued walking towards the Distribution Center. Blink quickly caught up with her and slowed down.
"I just wanted ta say I'se sorry 'bout dese last few days. I thought dat I could help ya."
"I know."
"I jist don't want ya ta try and hurt yerself again."
"I know."
"If I had known 'bout Luke before I wouldn't have..."
"You know it's been almost 6 months since it happened and I am still not used to it. Next month I'll be celebrating my first birthday in 6 years without one of his crazy schemes. I guess I'll get used to that after a few years....decades maybe." She took a deep breath.
Blink muttered something in a attempt to comfort her, but she paid him no attention. She had spent enough time listening to other people tell her such things after Luke died.
"I'm actually okay most of the time. I'll forget that he's gone and actually smile. I have my moments though. It's those moments when a certain word, person, song, sound, sight, thought, or memory just completely throws me off. It's those moments that scare me the most."
"Dat night was one of dem, wasn't it?," asked Blink softly, trying to absorb the information she was freely offering.
"In a way." She paused, trying to find the right words. "Luke was only a small part of that. There were....other things, too. No, I don't want to talk about them. Just believe me when I say that they made me feel as if life wasn't worth it. Like I wasn't worth it."
"I'se always here ta...."
"Talk. Yeah, I know KidBlink. I'll remember that." Liliana walked into the Distribution Center and looked around at all the new people in her life. Some laughed as if they had no worries. Some grumbled over the bad headlines. Some joked about their problems. It was time she dealt with her own painful past. Forcing a smile, she got in line for her papes.
