Far from Gone
Next day me and Katrin were walking down the beach hand in hand and we had practically circled town trying to find Kiara, where ever we looked, we kept thinking we saw a glimpse of her leave. "You dated the girl for 6 months and you don't know where she LIVES" Katrin groaned.
Laughing I responded, "Yeah she was secretive about where she lived though and she didn't really tell me, all she said was leave me here every time and that's where I left her…she said she'd tell me eventually why but never got the chance" We walked into the neighborhood and instead of looking house to house we walked into the office building and saw the woman at the counter.
"Hi, we're looking for a Kiara Boreal it's really important" she flipped through the book, shaking her head. "Honey, there is no one here by that name and hasn't been in the last 3 years because this is my record from the beginning" she shrugged. "She lied to me, why did she lie to me" I couldn't stop thinking about it, "We'll find her come on" she kissed my cheek, took my hand and led us both out the door.
"I…don't know what happened to her, I didn't think she'd lie to me and just leave like that" she shrugged, "You want to just forget about her Bradin" I shook my head. "I can't Katrin, yes I do love you but Kiara was special…I felt something when I was with her, she was a good friend and easy to talk to, what if something happened to her, I can't let her get hurt Katrin, I won't give up" she smiled, "Okay, I'll help you, what now" I remembered, "Phone number, let's go" we ran back to the house and slipped in my house…Johnny, Susannah, and Ava standing in the door way.
"Hey where are you two going" I didn't stop, "Getting something then heading out, we'll eat out looking for someone, sorry, bye" Katrin laughed as I pulled her up the stairs. I dug through the drawer I had of stuff and dug out the number she gave me. Picking up the phone I dialed, my mouth dropped when I heard what the answering machine said:
"This number is unavailable, it has been disconnected and changed to a different location…try 456-091-3498" I wrote it down quickly and dialed again. "This is freaky, it's like the girl never existed" Katrin laughed. "She moved Bradin, she was probably hurt" I shook my head trying to accept it but skeptical nonetheless.
"Hello" I asked as the line stopped ringing. "Hi you've reached the Sacramento Insurance Agency, please stay on the line if you need help, press 1 if…" I put the receiver down. "Great, Sacrament Insurance?" I groaned, "Let's go find out something" I took her hand and drove with her down to the airport.
"We need all recent flights to Sacramento please, as in last 2 weeks maybe" she highlighted and handed me a schedule, there was a few and I smiled at her, "Any chance we could get the names of the people on the flight" she shook her head, "No sir, that's classified" I groaned, "You didn't actually think that would work now did you" Katrin smiled, "Let me try" she walked up to the counter.
"Hi, can you help me find a flight on the monitor I can't see I lost my glasses" I rolled my eyes, "Sure this way" she left her desk and took Katrin over to the other side reading out every single one of the flights on the 10 monitors, good job Katrin! I thought as I ran up to her desk and scanning through quickly found the names, typing in Kiara Boreal, No Matched Results I couldn't believe this, trying again to make sure I didn't misspell it, again, No Matched Results
Katrin came back and making a cutting motion against her neck, I shut off the search page and ran to join her, "Hey baby, did you find that café" she winked, "Yeah but I want you to pick" I kissed her and the woman, rolling her eyes, walked back to her desk.
"I don't know why you're so stuck on finding this girl Bradin, why does she matter so much" it was more of the mystery of the fact that she never told me anything about her home, but also the fact that she didn't say anything to me if she was moving or what, and also…that she disappeared without a trace.
"I…have no clue, I'm more into the fact of finding her then actually seeing here again, she couldn't have just disappeared I mean come on" I groaned. She laughed, "Maybe she was a ghost" rolling her eyes she pulled me towards Spanish Cove. "I can't give up I'm sorry Katrin later I promise" I kissed her and she sighed and followed, hooking her arm through mine. The ghost idea was starting not to seem so crazy.
It was around 10:30 and I just came upon an idea that I was stupid not to try first. "I got it" I groaned to myself for how stupid I was and ran to get the Town Directory from the closet. Running my finger down the page I found one Boreal family. "Come on, I think I know where we can find her, if anything at least get information". We got into the car and I could tell Katrin was excited too, the search was finally over and we had fun looking and it was starting to creep us out.
We arrived at the address and I knocked on the door, an older man and woman opened. "Can we help you sunny" the man asked, he was in his 70's maybe and the woman wasn't much younger. They had gray hair but the woman had traces of brown, the same face shape and eyes as my Kiara. "Hi, is Kiara home" the woman broke into tears; I didn't know what I had said wrong. "Is this a joke young man because it's not funny" I shrugged, "I'm sorry, did I say something wrong" he motioned for me and Katrin to come in; we were skeptical at first then followed. I was starting to get worried about what happened.
He left us on the couch and came back in about 10 minutes carrying an album. "Were you a friend of my daughter" I nodded, "Sir what happened to her" he sighed, "Its painful memories, I don't know how you know her or how you tracked us down but Kiara has been dead for over 3 years" my mouth dropped.
"I'm sorry, I think I have the wrong house I saw hey about a week ago, I went out with her…that's not possible" Katrin grabbed my hand, "Bradin, babe let's get out of here I'm scared now" I nodded, "I'm going to take her home we're about a 10 minute ride and I'll be right back" she sighed, "Never mind if you're not going I'm not either" I nodded.
"That's not possible, she died in a car accident, she had a concussion, I saw her buried" he yelled, "Can you show me" he sighed, "Can you drive" I nodded, "Good grab your keys, we'll be right back Rosy dear" he yelled to his wife. Nodding, I'd been doing a lot of that because I was in complete shock!
"Now what are your names" he asked getting into the passenger seat of the car. "I'm Bradin and this is my girlfriend, Katrin" he smiled, "She's really pretty…hold on to her" I looked at Katrin and smiled, "Yeah, Kiara was gorgeous too…do you by any chance have a picture" he opened his wallet and showed me a picture. No doubt it was her, the same girl I had kissed, hugged and waved goodbye to when she was here.
We pulled into the cemetery and walking out Katrin didn't let go of my hand. "Bradin cemetery's scare me can we hurry" I nodded following the man. "Here" he pointed. I bent down and looked at the name, dusting of the dirt that had gathered over the years. "Kiara Anne Boreal 1985-2002" I read it out loud. The man reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace. I recognized it as the same one Kiara wore.
"You can have it, you must have done a lot of searching to find us and you must have cared a lot about her" I smiled and nodded, "Yeah I did, she's greatly missed" he nodded, "Oh I want you to have something too" I took out the picture I had of her in my pocket and handed it to him. He hugged it to his chest and I saw tears come to his eyes, "Come on, I'm going to take you home" he got into the car and the ride home was silent.
I gave him a hug and so did Katrin, "Thank you Bradin and Katrin, this means a lot to me" I smiled and motioned towards the necklace I had tight in my hand, "This too, thank you" he smiled and shut the door.
We got home and I took Katrin up to the room. "So, you upset, freaked out, worried" I shrugged, "D all of the above" she laughed, "I love you Bradin, and I'm sorry about Kiara" I nodded then pinning her down on the bed I kissed her. She was a little surprised but kissed me back and wrapped her arms around my neck. After a while the door opened, "Oops" I moved off of her and sat down on the bed. "I should start knocking" Jay laughed, "That would be good…can I help you" I was a little annoyed. "Come for dinner" he winked at me and then closed the door.
Standing up I want over to the window and opened it. "I miss her Katrin" she nodded; "I know you do" she stood beside me. "God I miss you Kiara" the wind blew through the window and blew a few leaves and a picture in. It was me and Kiara in the Cove. I had left the box there of all our picture and the wind must have picked it up…but to carry it all the way here, I think its just meant to happen, she heard me. "She heard you Bradin, I believe she misses you two" I nodded.
"Why do you think she came, or whatever, and then left me just as me and you got together, doesn't she think I would have figured out she doesn't exist" Katrin shrugged. "That was never the plan Bradin" I laughed realizing how stupid what I said sounded. "Than what was it" the wind blew and Katrin lost her balance landing right into my arms, her lips against mine. I kissed her and pulled away looking in her eyes, "I think this was it" she smiled, I nodded, "Yeah I think so" we looked out at the moon, and the stars, and the very gorgeous night.
"See Bradin, she's still with you, far from gone" I nodded, "Yeah, Far from gone"
