Shane was quiet the entire ride home. As soon as they dropped him off at his appartment… David announced… "I have a plan."
-Three Hours Later-
Ding Dong! The doorbell was ringing. "Oh great!" Shane said out loud. He was about to kill whoever was on the other side… until he saw it was Natalia.
"Hey." She said sadly.
"Hey." He said back and pulled her into his arms. They went inside and sat down on Shane's couch.
"Shane. What happened?"
"What do you mean?"
"To your father and sister?"
"Natalia. Are you sure you want to know. It's kind of depressing."
"Shane, I care about you. I want to know what happened to you."
"Okay. Sit down. It's a long story." Natalia sat down and looked at him.
"My dad used to do work in New York sometimes. One day, he got called up there for a problem on one of the top floors. My sister, Kali, was home sick that day. She was only 5 years old. She was the cutest kid, brown hair, blue eyes, and a beautiful smile. She was so young and my dad couldn't just leave her home alone, so he took her with him. My mom was a real estate agent so she couldn't take Kali with her. He was working and Kali was playing with her stuffed rabbit. I gave her that dumb rabbit. She loved it with everything she was. Suddenly there was an explosion. They said that he died immediately when the plane crashed. He was working in one of the world trade centers on September 11. The weird thing is they only found his body. They only found my sisters rabbit. But that's not the weird thing. It was the note it had in it. On the tag in the back, it said 'I'll see you again soon. Don't cry over me. Love you dirtball! Kali.' It was like she knew what was going to happen."
Natalia looked at him and cried. "I'm so sorry. That's why you were so attached to Nessy. I'm sorry."
"That's why I treat Sarah like my sister. I couldn't save my little one, so I try with her."
"There was nothing you could do."
"Yes there was. He called and asked if I could come home… I was at the movies with a friend… I said no." Then Shane started to cry as well.
The two stayed there all night holding eachother.
