Chapter 5
Jesse still layed in his bed awake, in the middle of the night. The damn owl outside his window kept hoo-ing. He sat up in his bed. He was still trying to let what he had learned to sink in. He finally remembered. He remembered everything... and he was glad.
He couldn't go back to sleep. He realized that he had done a horrible thing. He forgot. Most importantly, he broke his promise to Winnie. He'd acted to terrible to his family, and now Miles was gone. Because of him.
His family forgave him. But someone hadn't. Winnie. He needed her forgivness the most. But how was he gonna do that?
Since he couldn't go back to sleep, he got up. Got dressed, and stepped out of the bedroom. The whole house was covered in a sheet of darkness, except for the moon light, spillin in, through the windows. He crept around the house, trying not to wake Mae and Tuck. It was three o'clock in the morning for Christ's sake.
Quietly, he stepped out the front door, and walked out.He walked slwoly through the woods, trying not to make much noise. It was hard to see where he was going in the dark, even though Jesse knew the land practically by heart. Especially the way to the spring. That's where he was going anyway.
He silently stepped through a threshhold of trees, and saw Winnie's tomb stone, leaning over what used to be the spring. The moon shone brightly on the stone, making it look like a shrine. He slowly walked over to it.
Jesse raised a hand to the tree. Lightly brushing his fingers across the 'T' Tuck carved into the bark. Then he knelt down in front of her grave, and whispered into the night.
"Hi Winnie," Jesse began. "I wish you were still here with me. We all need you. I wish I could've come back sooner. I wish I could turn back time, so I could tell you how much you meant to all of us. And how much I loved you. I love you still, and I'm so sorry I forgot."
He paused for a moment, as hot tears ran down his face. He hled back sobs as he went on speaking.
"I'm sorry. But you've left me here with no one! And I can never be with anyone again!" He shook his head. "Not forever."
So there he sat in the darkness of the night, for about ten minutes, practiacelly drowning in his tears, as all his pain, all his sorrow, came rushing back to him. But he wasn't done yet. He had to finish.
"Maybe I've had my happines, Winnie. You were it. What happened with us, was worth what we did. If we hadn't... I wouldn't of met you. And none of it would have happened."
Feeling happier, he smiles, and wiped all of his tears away. Then he stood up, and gazed up into the sky.
"So I'll be moving on again, soon. But this time I won't forget. I won't forget it ever again. I promise."
"And in the darkest night, if my memory serves me right. I'll never turn back time.
"Forgetting you, but not the time."
