I picked up my kitten, and placed him in a shoe box for burial.I cleaned the porch of, but there was still a slight stain to remind me of it. I cried, scared and sad, for hours laying on my couch. I heard a knock at the door, realizing that Alec was here, I opened the door to see him standing there, in deep pain. "My uncle just passed this morning, and I have to fly out to Maine to attend the funeral. I'll be back in three days, so don't worry." Alec said, in a sad tone. "Im so sorry!!! Please be home soon.. I'll miss you!" I hugged him tight and tried not to let him notice that I was hysterical too. Jake kissed me deeply and passionately, before he left to say goodbye. I noticed something red on his white canvas shoe as he walked out, got in his car and drove away.
