Chapter 15

Michelle

When the plane lands, part of me feels a sense of relief. I always love coming home. Even when I left the military, kicking and screaming, the sight of my house in front of me gave me a sense of relief. My parents have given me such a comforting place to come home to. It’s never changed. The tree in the front yard has always been there, the tree swing still hangs from it, even though I haven’t ridden it since I was sixteen. Home is a constant for me. But this time, it’s a little different. The house is empty. Mom and dad are still away, visiting my grandparents, and enjoying their time together before dad gets hauled away for work.

The house is empty, but it still smells like home. It’s like mom baked something delicious before she left, and the remnants still remain. As I unpack my bags, throwing my clothes in the laundry, I decide I need to go to the grocery store, so I don’t starve. Jack gave me a handsome severance, so I’m good for a couple of months. After the attack, he said that he owed me more than what he could give me, for sticking around even though I had every reason to leave.

After I pick up some things, and make a decent meal, I start thinking about what I’m going to do next. Do I want to see if I can go back overseas? No. I run through a list of possible jobs, but it’s then that I realize how much fun it was doing what I was doing. The sense of family I had was wonderful. It’s my belief that I was cut out for adventures. None of this mundane, nine-to-five stuff. Maybe I’ll even start a business or something. I don’t know. But I’ve got some time to think it over.

And as I pull the rest of my stuff out of my bag, I smell him. Billy. It’s weird. It’s like I’m a dog and can pick up his scent. He’s in my pyjamas, my hair ties, my jacket, everywhere. Even after I pull my clothes out of the laundry, I can still smell him. Crazy, but I find myself picking up every piece of clothing and drinking the scent in. I miss him. I’m used to only missing my parents, but I miss him now, too. My body still feels satiated from his touch last night. Nobody has ever made me feel that way. And it strikes me that nobody ever will again.

Only a few hours of being in an empty house and it already grates on me. I consider hopping back on a plane and heading out to join my parents, but then I would have to explain everything, and that would make it real. The best thing that ever happened to me is gone, and I’m not ready to accept that yet. And for the next few days, I tell nobody where I am. I’m invisible. It’s almost like I never even existed at all.
