Chapter 105

When I left the house, I took a deep breath. After that, I quickly went down the few flights of stairs and took a few steps away from the house. I took another deep breath and started to feel a little better.

Shortly thereafter, I felt Xavier's hand on my back. Softly he said, "I'm here."

It was crazy that I reacted like that. But this house carried too many memories. My head was a mess. I had no idea what to think of any of this.

Standing in this spot wouldn't make anything better and I wanted to get off this property.

I started walking and of course, Xavier followed me. I cleared my throat and said, "I'm sorry. I can't explain that to you myself."

How am I supposed to explain that? It was irrational. But there were too many impressions and thoughts of my sisters and my father. It was a whirlpool that pulled me down.

It got more complicated because I didn't quite know what to make of it. What I didn't know either was how I should feel.
