"I'm sorry." I pulled my knees up to my chest and held them. I didn't say anything. I just continued to stare into the water and think about the ring and David. I missed him so much. He had been gone for two years, but I still wasn't over him. I had no idea where he was. I would give everything just to see him againjust once
"Do you want to go back inside?" JC asked after a minute.
I nodded and he helped me up and led me into the house again.
God. I'm so stupid. He probably thinks I'm a freak. I am a freak. My thoughts were interrupted when I enter the house again. Everyone still had their eyes glued to the screen, except Chris. He was watching us come in.
"Did ya scare her away or something?" I felt really hotand really stupid.
"I'm going to see Andrew," I said to Jen and Mallory.
They knew what I was talking about.
"Alone?!" Mallory said, sounding kind of horrified.
"Yeah." Going to the cemetery alone at night freaked me out, especially since I had to go through some woods to get there and I'd just seen 'The Blair Witch Project' a few days before, but I had to 'talk' to him. It was like some spiritual thing. After Andrew died, this person that helped me deal with his death told me that I shouldn't do that because it could turn more serious and I could actually believe he was there (like in 'To Gillian on her 37th Birthday), but 'talking' to him helped me deal with it.
I walked through the cemetery, toward the back, where Andrew was. I was being more cautious than ever and every little sound made me jump.
"Whowho" I gasped and tensed up until I realized it was just an owl. I sighed and continued walking, except a little quicker. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I considered turning back and thought about it really hard. Finally, I did, despite my need to see my brother again. I was just about to take the third step toward my car when I heard it. It was a voice. It sounded very contemptible and very familiar
"Elise did you want to see me?" I froze. It was Andrew
