"Jonathan..."
Rain began to fall lightly as Felicity whispered.
"You always protected me. You were the one who saved me when kids bullied me or adults tried to hurt me. You stood by me when they said those horrible words..."
She stopped speaking all together. Heavy crying exploded from her as the rain began to slam heavier onto the ground.
"... Please..."
She was out of breath, holding on to concept of breathing by a thread. She wept heavily, the memory of his passing assaulting her mind even now.
"Please..."
She hunkered down, her head against the wet, ashy ground.
"Forgive me..."
She went on and on. For hours. As the sky went dark and the moon started peaking through the clouds. She rambled her heart out to her relatives. About how much she loved them, how they saved her, and how she was coated in shame for being unable to save them from death. All the internal build up over three years of inner torment. Finally, she let it go. She cried, screamed, and physically beat the ground she was on as, at last, she faced the grief and guilt she felt over her family, how she wished she was there like they were, and how they were now gone.
Finally. Closure.
