It's been five years since I’ve been to Vermont, a long time huh? No? Well it feels like eternity for me. I can still remember the day I left... it was the worst day of my life. Right before John wanted to leave is when Freddie came to say goodbye. He could have come earlier, but NO, that just wouldn’t be Freddy. The boy who has been on my mind every day for the past eight years! I don’t know how I left him behind. He was 5' 6" with raven black hair, beautiful green eyes, and I left him with nothing more then a hug.
I wanted to tell him I loved him and that he was my world, but to a sixteen-year-old boy that just would have seemed stupid. He came from behind his house; Sally and I should have guessed he was in that stupid tree house of his, I could have spent a little more time with him if I would have been a little smarter. He came out and said two very simple words. Two words that normally just let one know a new person is in their presence but when he said those two words... you would have thought I died and went to heaven and came back again.
I was so ecstatic to be able to say goodbye, but I have no idea why. If I knew how much those words would hurt me in the end... I would have never said them. After I said those words, that I refuse to ever say again, Freddy proceeded to tell me that he would miss me, but that this was for the better. It almost seemed like he wanted me gone.
“Katie, you know I’m going to miss you, probably more then life itself, but you just can’t be here. It’s not safe. For you. For me. For anyone.”
“What are you talking about? Of course it’s safe for me to be here! The only reason I’m leaving is because apparently the government thinks it be better if I live with John, so he can watch over me and keep me from getting into trouble.”
“You don’t get it do you Kate? This is all just one big game to you. Well I hope this is a reality check for you. If you don’t already know this... YOUR PARENTS ARE MASS MURDERS KATIE! YOU BEING HERE IS NOT SAFE FOR ANY OF US!”
And this is the part that really got me upset, because he yelled it at me. Actually, he didn’t just yell that at me, he screamed it. As loud as he could, so that everybody could hear. He yelled in the middle of our street with all our neighbors around
I was stunned, I couldn’t believe he had the nerve to say that, and right in my face too! How would he feel if someone said that about HIS parents! I realize that this was sudden news to him, but what did he think was going through my mind. I’ve had to deal with the newspaper headlines, “Couple of Death Strikes Again.” Or turning on the TV and hearing “Another murder by the Couple of Death... more information tonight at 9.” He gets to turn on the TV and hear “Another amazing discovery made by Dr. Phoenix up next, so stay tuned!” I wish I was that graced.
“Fr-Freddy…its safe here Freddy, they wouldn’t come and hurt me. They couldn’t. They wouldn’t hurt you either Freddy. Before all this…you…you were apart of our family. They loved you like they lov-“
“Kate, they have MURDERED over almost thirty people so far! How can you say that it's safe here? How do you know that we aren't the next ones their list? You've gotta get out of here... John's ready... goodbye Katie"
Again… if you have any ideas don’t be shy! Please share your ideas.
