Letters to Aiden -- A serial supplement to The SCARS Series

Shadows. All I see is shadows. Everything is blurry.
“Damn it David, You should have never come here. Do you see what you did to her? She is fucked up. In all of my life I have never seen Jordan like this.”
“I didn’t come over to hurt her, Beth. I wanted to check on her. Nobody has been able to get past her mother to check on her. I swear that woman is like a hawk watching over her babies. We cannot even pull into the driveway without that woman coming after us with a fucking baseball bat. Shannon said Jordan was here and I came to check on her. I hate what she is going through, but we are all going through it.”
“No, David. We are not all going through it. We know how we feel, but Jordan is different. None of us truly know what she feels, what she is going through. She went to Aiden’s grave today and came back so distraught all she would do is lay on that bean bag and whimper. She sounds like a dying cat the way she sounds.”
“She needs to talk to someone.”
“Well, you most definitely are not that person. You need to stay as far away from her as possible. If not, she may actually kill you. I have never seen her that angry. Close, but never this bad. You really need to leave before she comes to.”
“Fine, but someday soon, I will talk to her. I need her to know that I fucked up and I am sorry.”
“Today is not going to be the day. You had better be glad when she collapsed that she was by the couch and didn’t hit her head on anything. I think it would be in your best interest to turn yourself in and face the consequences. The police have already been asking around. Before long, they are going to get the proof they need to have you up on manslaughter charges.”
“I know the police are asking questions, they have been to the house a few times. I keep telling them that Aiden was driving when we left the store and that I don’t remember anything after that.”
“You lied to the police. Do you realize how much trouble you are going to be in if they find out different?”
“I didn’t really lie to them. I don’t remember anything after the store.”
“Well, you need to do a bit of soul searching, figure out what you need to do. One thing you need to do right now is leave, she is beginning to mumble. I can’t say what Jordan will do when she comes to, but I have a feeling you will not leave here fully intact”
“Okay, Okay. I’m going. I will call you later. Just promise me you will take care of her.”

“I will do my best. Like I said, I have never seen her like this.”
