Chapter 25

Collin walked into the front door and looked around. He heard voices coming from the kitchen so he walked down the hall in that direction. When he opened the door, everyone stopped talking and looked at him.

“What?” He looked at the group of people sitting around the table.

“Percy?” Gladys said, looking at Collin’s uncle.

“Collin, you know how I feel about you getting too close to people. We won’t be here forever. What are you going to do when we leave?”

“Maybe I won’t do anything. Maybe I’ll stay here.” Collin responded defiantly.

“You can’t Collin.”

“Why? Because you’re my legal guardian? Well, I have something to tell you Uncle Percy, I’m an adult now. What I do with my life from now on is my choice. Don’t get me wrong, I love you, and I’m grateful for all you’ve done for me, but I love Jewell.”

Percy sighed. He looked at Gladys who just shrugged. Kendryck got up to get a glass of water and Dot and Carl were engaged in their own personal conversation, too interested in each other to help Percy. Percy looked at Collin, clearly exasperated, but not knowing what to say.

“Is that it, then?” Collin asked, glaring at everyone sitting at the table. When no one said anything, he walked out, going to his quarters behind the house. He grabbed a fishing pole and wandered out to a pond, or more of a swamp, about two miles from the house. Living on such a large piece of land definitely had its advantages.

After he had been out for a few hours, he started feeling better and started walking back to the house. The worst part about all of this was Jewell. What was going on with her? He glanced at his watch. It was only noon; the middle of the night for Jewell. It would be rude to drive to her house just to make himself feel better. He didn’t really feel like going to New Orleans. He wasn’t sure what he wanted to do. After he put his pole away, he walked into the house and headed toward the kitchen. He wasn’t really hungry, but he couldn’t think of anything else to do. Walking into the house, he saw his uncle watching TV in the parlor. Collin walked in and sat down next to Percy.

“I’m sorry.” Collin didn’t look at his uncle.

Percy put his arm around his nephew. “I’m sorry too. I know that you really like this girl, but you know that you can’t get too involved with people. We’ve already been here for a couple of years, we’ll probably move on in another year or so.”

“But why? Why can’t I get close to someone? Why do I have to move?”

Percy, with his usual evasiveness said “I thought we’d go to Australia. I haven’t been there in a while, and I miss vegemite. Have you ever had vegemite?

Collin sighed. He gave his uncle a quick hug and got up from the couch. “I’m going to see if I
