Chapter 42

Reba

It is starting to settle in on me how much this is all my fault. I know now that Dad wasn’t having an affair, that he didn’t even know that Aileen Bravelli was still alive. Now I’ve ruined both of their lives, plus Mom’s, maybe getting Sam killed, and maybe Dad as well. Maybe all of us. I’ve certainly killed Matt’s dad and that makes me so sick I want to die myself. If I could do something I’d sure do it, but I feel useless as everything around me goes out of control.

Poor Matt. Such a nice guy, really. He’ll never be the same. He is so sensitive, and now I’ve ruined him. He has no clue as to what’s going on. He shifts from a responsible young man to a scared little boy. He knows we are on the run from some bad men, and he knows about the sabre-toothed cats around us but I don’t think he has acknowledged his dad’s death yet, or if he has, then that is when he retreats into his little boy self. The problem there is that the combination of that and the pitch dark draws up his memories of being left in the woods all night.

I’m glad he sleeps now.

I cannot. I close my eyes and everything that has happened in the last twelve hours starts replaying in my mind. That’s another thing that has gone completely out of control—my mind. It listens to other people’s thoughts and feelings and memories, and then the awful stuff; it sees someone die before it happens leaving me feeling useless and helpless.

I hate it!

I force up thoughts of Christi, and us having fun together as little girls, her always not quite being able to do what I can do. I was so nasty to her sometimes. I promise, God, if I get back alive, I’ll be nicer to her. I’ll make sure she doesn’t do some of the stupid things I’ve done. I’ll be nicer to Mom and Dad, too.
