Thanks for all the reviews, i felt so special again, sorry i didn't post sooner, i was thinking about adding a new chapter before this one, but i don't think it will work out, i wouldn't know what to put in it though i have some ideas but i don't think it would work, so we will leave it to what it is now. this part is sad just to warn you, you can turn back now and not read it. if there are mistakes sorry, i tried...they aways happen. if it doesn't make sense tell me and i will once again try to fix it. i end up confusing people most the time in typing. anyways if you are still reading that here it is...
Chapter Two:The News
Canan was visiting Jay, Ava, Johnny, Susannah, Ian, and Derrick. Niki was now about 24 I will say (if it is wrong, tell me, I don't remember if she was 14 or not in the show.) She and Cameron were still friends but at the moment nothing more. Ian and Derrick were Seniors in High School and would be going to college the next fall. Johnny and Ava were married. Jay was married to Erika, and Susannah was dating the guy she had met at the beach during the show (the one that drew a picture of her, i don't remember this name)
Canan was sitting at the kitchen table of the same house that she has been in many times. The couples had decided to stay in their house until Derrick and Ian moved out. Since they figured it would be best to have them all there for now.
"So what are we having for dinner?" Canan asked. She is fourteen now.
"I was thinking pizza." Ava said
"Sounds like a good meal to me." Canan said.
Canan's stay at the house was getting short. She had one day left until she had to go back to her parents house. She didn't want to go back. Not that she didn't like her parents, but because she liked the weather out in California, better then back in Kansas. (I had to pick a state so I have them back where they started, but in an apartment, since they were saving up for the house that Bradin used to live in.
Canan's it was her last full day,that and her birthday. She wanted to go to the amusement park that she had heard many good things about. So she spent the day with her Godfather, Jay.
By the time she got back at the house, she was expecting it to be half way dark, it was about 11:00 at night, but no, every light was on in the house. Canan walked in cautiously.
She saw Ava on the couch next to Johnny, she looked as if she had been crying.
"Ava?" Canan asked
Ava looked at her, and immediately got up and went over to her.
"Ava what's wrong?" Canan asked
"It's…" But Ava couldn't say it. Ava started to cry again.
"Please tell me." Canan said starting to get scared.
"Something happened at you home." Johnny said
"What?" Canan asked, now freaked out.
"Someone broke in." Johnny said
"What happened?" Canan asked
"Your parents were at work, Sherry (the babysitter) was watching David (The five year old kid), some guy broke in and killed Sherry. He then went up to David's room, and beat him. Your mother came home, and saw Sherry on the floor. She freaked out and ran upstairs while calling 911. When she got to you brothers room, he was died." Johnny said
"What about mom?" Canan asked, afraid that she had also lost her mother along with her brother.
"You father found her holding Dave in her arms. He had arrived about 5 minutes after her, he said. The killer was gone no trace of him. No fingerprints. No nothing." Johnny said. "They want you to stay here, until the killer is found. After the Funeral is done."
"Dave is gone." Canan said as she just stood there, wondering how could this happen. She felt numb and couldn't feel anything. She felt like she should cry but she couldn't. Later on that night, she cried herself to sleep, her Uncle Ian holding onto her as she cried
In Kansas Five Days Later
Bradin, Cat, Canan, Jay, Johnny, Ian, Derrick, Ava, Susannah, Niki, Cameron, Ally, and a few other people stood in a graveyard. The rain was coming down so hard, but it didn't matter. They watched, as the small casket was lower in the ground. Sherry's funeralhad beenthe day before.
Once the casket was covered with dirt, which was wet, everybody turned to leave. Leaving Cat, Canan, and Bradin standing in front of the gravesite.
After about 5 minutes, the three were soaked through but they stood there. Catheren just staring at the grave of her baby boy.
"We should go." Bradin said to his wife.
Canan turned but noticed her mother still wasn't moving.
"Mom, Dad's right." Canan said
"I know." Cat said, there were unshed tears in her pained voice.
Cat finally turned and walked to the car. Jay was driving them. Canan was in Shotgun. Bradin and Cat in back.
Bradin had noticed that Cat hadn't been sleeping,hadn't beeneating, and was hardly acting alive. He was worried. She needed time to grieve but she shouldn't be grieving so bad that she might end up killing herself too. He couldn't bare to loose anybody else, not now, not after everything he lost before. He couldn't loose his wife, like he did his son, and his parents. Cat hadn't shed a tear. Not since the daytheir son haddied. Jay dropped them off at the house. Cat had refused to leave to house, even for a day. Cat walked slowly into the house, and up the master bed room. She shut the door. Jay went off to the hotel that the rest of the family was staying in.
Canan came over to her father and rested her head on him chest, putting her arms around his chest. Bradin put his arms around his daughters shoulders.
"Is mom going to be okay?" Canan asked
"Of course, it will just take her sometime." Bradin said. "We all just need time, it's different for different people." Bradin said.
"So am I going back to California tomorrow, with Jay and them?" Canan asked
"We think it is best." Bradin said
"I love you Dad." Canan said
"I love you too." Bradin said to his daughter.
"I'm going to go say good night to mom." Canan said
"Okay." Bradin said
Canan walked up the stairs and knocked on her mother's door. It opened, to reveal her mother sitting on the bed facing away from the door.
"Good-night mom." Canan said
"Good-night." Cat responded
"I love you." Canan said
"I love you too Canan, always remember that." Cat said
Canana smiled slightly at what her mother had said. "I will mom." She said quieltyas she shut the door.
"Good-night Dad." Canan said as she saw her father near the door.
"Good-night" Bradin said as he kissed his daughter goodnight
