Adina looked at Nick, "sure."
“I never took psychology or anything but some times revisiting places is part of letting go.” Nick knew he might have sounded like an idiot but wanted to help."It was my parents, I don’t know how they got it, after they died it became mine," she smiled a little. "this is the first time I've been here in five years."
Ceagin didn’t know what else to say if there was something more.“Come on Chez it was just as much my fault that it happened and you act like I had no part in it. That I have no pain at all from that night!”
“You weren’t behind the wheel of the car!” Chez was yelling uncontrollably. It had been four years since they had ever talked about it.
“I wasn’t at the wheel of your car but...” it choked up in his throat, “I challenged you. I should have known better and then I, like a freaking coward let you take my place.” Ceagin was crying now. “You spent two years in jail when it should have been me and I know that. I have just a heavy cross to bear as you do Chez I just chose to bury it in a different way than you did.” Ceagin slumped down into the recliner. It was painful to talk about it but it was even more painful to stay silent. “We will die if we keep doing this and you proved that for both of us.”

“I loved her Ceagin, and now she is gone. The only girl...” Chez looked up from the floor tear streaks marking his cheeks. “I thought keeping them away would make it all go away some how. Like I was protecting them. But it made it harder.”
“I know. You...it wasn’t your fault. I never told you that but it’s true.”
“I shouldn’t have agreed, Ceagin.”
“And I shouldn’t have challenged you. It was stupid of me but she had been telling me for so long about how good a driver you were even at your age I...I wanted to prove that...I don’t know but I was stupid.”
“I still could have said no.”
“yah but you wanted to impress her and...we both had a hand in it I guess. I miss her Chez. I didn’t realize how much till I met Kiera. They are so much alike. I miss her.” Ceagin fought against the pain and the tears but he couldn’t fight forever.
"For what?" he was glad he could help but he didn't feel like he had doen anything.
"make a wish," he said with a laugh but deep inside he did make a wish."for everything," she said. "look, a shooting star."
Ceagin walked over to the phone wiping away his tears. He wanted to call Sarah. he dialed the number and it rang once then twice then he wuickly hung up. he needed to get out of the house but he knew if he called Sarah seh would ask questions.Ceagin didn’t know what else to say if there was something more.
