It had been on my to do list for a little over two years. I checked the date. I almsot gave up, twice.
You see, my dad would not have let me into that part of town had he known, and becuase i was not precisly clear on the location of my quest I spent quite a bit of time praying the weird man on the bike wasn't going to scractch my car.
Once I got there, I expceted to things like weeds, and flowers. The only other time I'd been there I made SURE to commit the spot to memory. IT was under a tree, on a hill, it looked remarkably modern. Strange even. I liked the tree though, and I would have to accept what was in stone.
Right then. Weeds, Flowers, grass clippings. The sun was setting and I was worried they were going to call me before I got a chance to do what i came for.
Then, and this is the second time, I couldn't find it. I was at the tree, but I felt awkward. And then someone pulled behind me and wasn't getting out of their car. Perhaps I wasn't up to date on ediqutte. Perhaps I was and this guy just made easy targets out of mourners.
Into the car I went, but on my way around the bend I saw the guy.
So flowers and grass and weeds, all of these I expcted.
I didn't excpect Jake.
Deciding it would be dumb to NOT find it I pulled back around. He was wearing cloths merroring my own, his attitude more...somber.
He saw me, and I think it woried him that we knew about the other one. How strange I thought, that out of all the days of all the years we end up the only two on this land, 3ft away from each other.
He knew right where he was going, and I soon found her, and we respectivly did our thing and went our ways.
