When it happened, Dad came out after being alone with her for over a half an hour. He was crying and it was obvious he had been for quite a while. "Sh...'s gone, Honey," he told me.We stood there holding each other, giving what little comfort we could provide. We had been a group of three for the past seven years. I was the one who was supposed to grow up and leave the family, although none of us had been looking forward to that day.We all took her death hard. Rocky would still be alert,. I saw them leave holding hands. I got up and went to the bathroom to shower. The room smelled of sex and there were signs everywhere. I took a shower and waited for her to come back. Normally it took 2 hours to go to the airport to drop someone off. It had been six hours and she still wasn't back yet. I figured they had goodbye sex somewhere. It was late afternoon when she showed back up. She went straight to the shower and then cleaned up the bedroom. She didn't offer any insight into what she. "Had a new house put up." She said with a bit of mystery. My intrigue piqued, I noticed that the cabin was being lived in. I arched my eyebrows. "Our cousin John." She said simply. We kept driving for another 15 minutes, her old Jeep making good progress on the gravel road. We passed the lake and went up the hill, and then I saw it. It was about 4 times the size of her cabin, though it was plain and unadorned, it was on a slope above the lake. It was log built, from her own. The other car crossed the center line and hit Jessica’s car head-on just to the passenger side of midline. Her airbag saved her. He suffered massive head and chest trauma. Worse than Bethany’s. It wasn’t survivable.”“God damn,” I said, tears running down my cheeks. “Kara?”“I’ll have her come in. She, Elyse, and Bethany were making calls. Most of your friends are here.”“Dad?” I asked.“Samantha sent her plane. He’ll be here any minute.”“Thanks,” I said.He left the room and I cried softly. Kara.
