Trudy: Life and Love after Loss
Chapter Four
Ram was standing on the top deck looking out into the sea when Ruby came up
to him.
"Ever been on a boat before?" she asked
"No, never." Said Ram "My parents wouldn't let me do things like this,
things that would put me in danger."
"So what did you do at home?" Ruby asked
"Played on my computer."
"You didn't ever go out and have fun with your friends?" Ruby asked
"I didn't have friends and I wasn't aloud outside." Said Ram "Other kids kept making fun of me and calling me a freak. My parents thought it best
that I stay in doors."
"That's horrible." Said Ruby
"But it helped me in a way." Said Ram "I wouldn't be the computer genius I
am today if I hadn't been a cripple."
"Well that's an interesting of looking at it." Said Ruby
"What about your pregnancy?" Ram asked and Ruby looked down
"I'm not pregnant anymore, I lost the baby." Said Ruby sadly
"In the end we all lose what's most precious to us." Said Ram longingly
thinking of Java.
"Yes, first my parents to the virus, than my little brother to tuberculosis
and now my first child." Said Ruby
"But you know what they say, it's better to have loved and lost, than to
have not loved at all." Said Ram
"Tell that to Trudy." Said Ruby looking over at Trudy who was clutching
Brady in her arms as her tears flowed freely.
Ellie, Jack, Lex, Daryll Gel, Sammy, Lottie, Ebony and Slade were standing a few feet away from Ram, and Ruby. Slade was standing behind Ebony with
his arms wrapped around her waist.
"Say goodbye." Slade said
"Goodbye to what?" Ebony asked
"To the past." Said Slade "We are going to a new place with different
people, our lives will never be the same again."
"But we can't forget the people we left behind." Said Ellie
"We will never forget." said Lex firmly
"Goodbye." Ebony whispered softly a tear sliding down her face.
