I
walk down the dirt road, kicking a loose rock. I keep tripping from
the bumps, made by the four wheelers, in the frozen ground. I kick
the rock in to the grass and is now forever gone. I pick my head up
and keep walking down the road. I watch the sun slowly vanish
behind the tall pine trees. I can hear the birds chirping their
last melody before they venture off to their homes and sleep.
I look to my right and see a lonely Robin pecking at the ground. I
stop and watch her. She finally gives up and goes to a different
location. I wrap his sweater around me tighter. I flip on his hood
and outline the Fox symbol with my freezing finger. I press on down
the cold road, my skinny jeans stuck to my legs. I go around a bend
under the mystical pine trees. The trees are so thick when I look
up and I can just see a sliver of the moon. I finally see the
tracks of the one four wheeler that lost control. A tear escapes
and its warmth feels good down my cold cheek. I find the 4 trees
that are now chopped up or broken from the impact. I find a
lonely log facing the scene. I sit on it waiting for him to come
out of the trees and scream, "Boo! I got you!" and hear
his beautiful laugh. But he never comes and never
will.
See, this is where he was killed. He wasn’t my
boyfriend or just even a friend. Not my cousin, uncle or father. He
was my brother. His name was Sam. Sam was only 17 and had a big
heart. He wanted to become a doctor and got a scholarship to go to
Harvard. But 2 weeks ago he and his friends were celebrating. Sam
got drunk and got in to a crash. The doctor said if his friends
weren’t drunk and brought him in earlier he could have lived.
He might have actually lived.
I look on the cold ground where my tears were landing. When
I slowly looked up I saw something shimmer from the moonlight. I
stood up and walked over to it. I picked it up with my trembling
fingers. It was his pocket watch. I bought it for him on his 12th
birthday. He told me he didn’t want a watch cause he
wouldn’t be able to use it as a doctor. He was allowed to
use a pocket watch. So, I bought him the best one I could
afford using all of my savings. I flipped over the watch and read
the etching. DR.
Sammy Bammy, Happy 12th Birthday! I love you Big Brother! Love
Kylie. 3/16/2007. I dropped to my knees. I
break out crying harder than ever. The watch slipped through my
fingers making a clink when it hit the ground. After, a couple
minutes I feel a hand on my back and a familiar, reassuring voice.
I turn to my left and immediately stopped crying. I see Sam
sitting next to me with his unforgettable smile. I try to not move
or blink so Sam doesn't leave. But finally I have to wipe my
tears out of my eyes. When I open them again he’s gone. But
the watch isn’t on the ground. I look frantically for it and
find it in my pocket. But on the front there’s a new
etching. Don’t
worry my Kylie Bylie, I will always be there for you. When ever and
where ever you need me. I love you! Love, Sam.
