(PART SIX)
Billie walked over to her mother and Pete. Kaylee put her arms around Billie and held her tight as Billie cried. “I’m sorry mother, but..” Billie said and cried even harder.
“Shh Shh its okay sweetie shh” Kaylee said as she held Billie, and rubbed her back softly. Kaylee looked at Pete, and started to walk out of the cave with her arms around Billie. “Just calm down Billie she was already dead so you just sent her home, Now she can be with her family” Kaylee said soothingly.
Pete kept quiet and just followed them. Pete softly grabbed Kaylees arm and turned her when she started to go the wrong way. When they got to the middle of the forest Pete moved a few stomps together. Pete sat on one end and pointed to Kaylees and Billies seats.
Kaylee sat down, and Billie sat down. “I’m sorry I’m crying like a stupid baby” Billie said wiping her tears, but then more formed. Billie looked at Kaylee and Pete and somewhat smiled, but not quite a true smile.
Kaylee looked at them both. “You have a choice” Kaylee said. As Billie and Pete looked at her. “You can come home for a few weeks then come back, or you can stay here, and I’ll get you out of school for a few days when we have the funeral.” Kaylee said . She had to work hard on getting the last part out, but finally did.
Pete looked at her. “I want to come home” he said immediately. “I can’t stay here” Pete said thinking of what people would say. “ I would hurt someone” Pete said. “I need a break from this place” Pete added.
Billie looked at Pete. He was right they should be home right now. She would be able to handle the stress. “I want to go home” Billie said finally. “Yeah I want to go home. When can we leave?” Billie asked.
“As soon as you want.” Kaylee said. “You want to pack now?” she asked and stood up. “I just have to talk to your headmaster then we can leave.” Kaylee said helping Billie stand then walking over to Pete. “You ready?” she asked
“Okay I’ll go pack” Billie said and started to run up to the common room. As she did she ran into a bunch of people who stared at the blood all over her. “Stop looking at me” she screamed as tears ran down her cheeks.
