The Amazing BREAK

After Samuel's funeral I went to the Cosmos's house, I missed them a lot, I wanted to see if I still can save myself or not, at least for my sister, she won't handle losing me.

On the fifteenth on September 1974 while we were having lunch, my sister brought me some amazing pancakes shaped as hearts and spoke to me

-          I cooked these for you brother, you mean the world to me and I hate seeing you sad like this over your friend, just remember that he went to meet God, he is in a much better place now. And I am also sorry about the Kate thing, I know that you deserve a better woman my brother, because you are THE BEST MAN on this whole planet!

That gave me butterflies, it made my heart feel alive once again, on that moment I thought that giving up is not a thing that I follow, I felt that I have a reason to live, I actually felt something, I just started crying while holding my sister's pancake on my hand, I just felt so happy for knowing that I'm still feeling.

Aunt Jessica looked at me with comfort on her eyes, she knew that I was sad, she knew that I wasn't okay, and also, she knew that my sister's sentence made a difference inside me, when I looked at my sister again, I found her looking at me and crying, I hugged her so tight, that was the best hug I ever had, and spoke to her while we both were in tears

-          I am not going to leave you, and you are the best girl on the whole universe Vanessa, I love you more than anything, and thank you for everything my sister.

She was also crying, she hugged me back and didn't say anything to me, uncle Mike was on the backyard fixing the grass, so I decided to pay him a visit and give him a hand if he needs it; I went to the back yard, brought with me two cups of coffee, when I got there, I got two little chairs and a tiny table ready, the chairs were laying on the wall of our house and I spoke with uncle Mike

-          Hey! Uncle! Come let's drink some coffee then we will work together on that grass.

Uncle Mike looked at me, nodded his head, put down all of his tools and walked towards the table and chairs I got ready for us, after he and I sat he took of his gloves and spoke to me

-          I am sorry about what happened to your friend Samuel, it must be hard for you, I heard from some crew-mates of yours that he was close to you. How are you feeling now son?

Then he picked his cup of coffee and took a sniff of it, I looked away and said to him while sniffing from my cup

-          Yeah, I am feeling good now, you know I have been through harder stuff, I always manage to survive, beside that he already told me that he wanted to die since he had a hard life, and family…. So, I was expecting that, anyway father, how is mother Jessica, she is alright? She is fine now? Isn't she?

Mike put the cup down and stared at me then started talking

-          Son, for real stop worrying about your mother Jessica, she is fine! You are worried about her the whole time and she is worried about you the whole time. Both of you need to stop and start living this life damn it.

I looked at him, and started laughing with him, I rarely see him angry or screaming and now I am seeing him laughing, screaming and angry. That morning was one of the mornings that you wish for them to last forever, after that my father and I talked for almost three hours straight about women and sports and eventually forgotten to trim the grass.

4 days later we had a wedding to attend it was Jessica's nephew getting married, while mike and I were having our own chat on the living room about how can I get the ladies, Mike was saying

-          Alright don't forget this Walter, you look at the top of her right shoulder as if you were looking as someone behind her, then she looks at your eyes and you look at her eyes too, remember eye contact, or most import…

On that moment mother Jessica enters the living room with a white tuxedo, then she said

-          Yeah darling, eye contact is what will get you the ladies, no he needs to wear this and he will get all the ladies. Come on sweetie, try this tuxedo for me.

I just stood up and went to my room to try out the tuxedo, I didn't have a mirror on my room so I had to face them without even knowing what I look like.

When I got to the living room, also my sister was there and they looked at me with owe and uncle Mike was the first to speak

-          Oh dear, you are getting all of the ladies and the gentlemen for sur.

-          Son, you look amazing, I was right.

My aunt Jessica said after him with a good and proud facial expression on her face. My sister was still looking at me with that look and spoke after taking a deep breath

-          I didn't know that Walter is marrying cousin Jennifer, why am I the last to know?

Then we all laughed and uncle Mike spoke with my sister

-          No, Walter is not getting married, he is going to pick a wife now.

And we laughed more.
