After about 5 minutes of crying, we broke apart and we went to go sit on two opposite couches. Dad sat next to walker, and I sat next to Tay and Ike, Zac sat on the arm of the couch next to Ike, I tried to stop crying, but I failed. I started again, but with a little less severe, then dad left the room, probably to go talk to the doctor, then Diana, Walker, and the little Hanson's left the room, and it was just my, Tay, Ike, and Zac. Tay put his arm around me and I let my lay my head on his shoulder to cry. Then Ike and Zac came in, and we sat there, in a big group hug, and they comforted me.
It felt good to have this many shoulders to cry on. They let me cry for a little while, then Tay talked to me, and tried to get me to stop crying.
"Jessica, I know that you miss her, but don't worry, she's watching you, and she doesn't want you to worry about her." he said. I looked up at him, and he wiped away the tear that had begun to roll down my cheek. I smiled, and attempted to stop crying.
"He's right Jess, she'll always be watching you." Zac entered. I put my head back on Tay's shoulder and smiled at Zac.
"And Jess, I think that she would love to watch you grow up, and not be sad for her. Just remember her, and when you do, don't be sad." Ike comforted.
"Just remember the good times." Tay added. And I felt better. I hugged them, and sat up strait. I put a lock of hair that had fallen from my pig tail behind my ear, and I wiped my eyes dry.
"Thank you so much. I promise, that I will always remember her, Always." I solemnly swore. They smiled at me, and we rose from the couch to go find everyone else.
As soon as we came out of the room, and turned the corner, we ran into everyone, apparently, they had heard us talking, and they were smiling.
After everything was okay, I said my final good byes to Ike, Tay, Zac, and everyone else, and saw them off as their bus drove away. Then I just stood there, waving as it passed from sight. Then I followed dad to the van. He handed me Gus' leash and we got in. Then we left the hospital, and started on our way home.
"Jessica, I got offered a job in the traveling business, and I was planning on moving so I could take the job. And since your mom has just passed, it looks like you'll be coming with me." he said looking at me with a concerned face.
"Really! Well, I don't want to leave. But, if you want the job, I suppose I could adjust. But, I don't know dad, this is all very sudden." I replied. I truely didn't want to move, but I usually don't stand much of a chance when it comes to arguements with adults.
"I know Jess, but I have already bought a house there, and I already said that I would take the job. But, if you really don't want to move, then I could try to find other work." he said. He knows that this reverse psychology always gets to me.
"No dad, you went through all that trouble, I guess moving, okay." I said with a sigh. He smiled.
"That's great Jessica. Trust me, you're gonna love this place." He said. I didn't care where we were moving to, I still missed mom, and nothing really seemed to matter right now.
