Chapter Three: The Unexpected Wasn't Expected
I was walking home from the fun evening with all the people of mineral town, when someone grabbed me and hugged me out of nowhere. It was the kind of hug that you get when you haven't seen the person in a long time. I turned around to see my sister's boyfriend behind me. I squealed and hugged him again. He asked how I was doing and how my family was. I said I would tell him if he would come back to my house for some tea, cookies, and rice.
We got home and I put the rice on the stove, and got the tea and cookies ready. "So, how are they?" he asked, "Last I saw you, you and your family had a search party and was out looking for Kaila." So I decided to tell him the awful news. "After the police took you away to ask you some questions, we took Kaila to the hospital to see if she was ok, we found out that she was pregnant…" "Then because its been almost a year since I saw her that means that I'm a dad!" he cried. "Let me finish," "sorry" he apologized "Its ok, anyway, about five months into the pregnancy she began to have trouble eating, sleeping, and most of all, she began to faint more than usual. We tried to find out what was wrong, but she wouldn't let us. So after weeks of her agony, she finally gave into the pressure, and died." He gasped and almost fell over. "Are you sure she didn't just go into a coma?" he asked. "I'm positive. After seeing two people pass away on the same day, she refused to eat. She became so weak that she had a heart attack, my dad tried to rush her to the hospital, but got in a car crash, and died. After that I couldn't stand to see one more person die. I moved here to get away from all the horrifying memories." He had a look of horror, and sorrow in his eyes. I tried to comfort him, but he asked for tea, rice and cookies. I'd never seen someone look so down before. I had to just sit there, and stare at the "brother-in-law" I could have had.
He asked me where the town inn was and I told him it was op the road a bit, and to the right. He thanked me and left. I began to cry, Why did he have to ask me about them? Why?
Why?
