Chapter Five


Sophie stood beside Mia, who was holding onto Grandpa while David unlocked the cabin door. Hopefully this still works, David said. David pushed open the door gently and it make a creaking sound then hit the wall.

Sophie watched David bent down to pick up what looked like a large hammer and he stood back up holding it. Looks like someone broke in, David said. Be carful, Natalie told David. What is that smell? Mia questioned everyone.

Some teenagers probably just broke in here to drink beer and numb uglies, David told Mia. Exactly, Natalie said. Mom would have hated seeing the cabin like this, Mia said. Okay, lets make this place livable, David said. David then dropped the object he was holding.

Sophie slowly walked beside Mia into the bedroom and looked at the picture of a younger Mia, David, Eric and Olivia. Mia opened a book with writing and images with a picture of Mia, David and their mother. Sophie set her bags down on the floor and undid Kai's leash and put it on one of her bags.

Hey, are you okay, David questioned Mia. Do you remember that lullaby mom used to sing to us? Mia questioned David. It was something like " Baby, little baby, it's time to say goodbye, baby little baby" Mia said.

Mia please, I don't think you need sad memories in your head right now, David told Mia. Mom is not a sad one, Mia told David. You know what I mean, David told Mia. What an asshole you are David, Sophie said.

You know what? Her final days at the hospital mom sometimes thought I was you, she even called me David for a whole day once and I played along because, Mia said until David interrupted her.

Mia, I wanted to be there, okay, I did, but by the time mom got bad, I had just gotten the job at the garage in Chicago, I don't know, I had a hard time finding the right moment to come back and then it was to late, so, David told Mia.

Maybe you were lucky, not to see her the way that I did, Mia told David. Come on Sophie, Mia said. Mia walked out the room so Sophie followed behind her with Kai following behind Sophie.
