12 It rained on the day of the funeral . Mom , Dad , Liam , and Mia all came . A sea of black umbrellas dotted the cemetery . Mom , her eyes red , handed me an envelope . " Caleb gave this to us the first time he met us ." I opened it . Inside was a will . Caleb had left me all the savings and property his parents had bequeathed to him. " He told us he hoped we would give you the freedom to choose . " " If you were willing to come home with us , then he hoped we would treat you well . If you weren't willing to live with us , with this money you could still live well on your own " 1:03 pm G P < Mom's voice was choked . " Skye , you found a good brother . He deserved all your goodness ." Liam stood nearby , rainwater mixed with what might have been tears streamed down his face . He suddenly stepped forward , his voice cracking . " I'm sorry ." " All these years , I took all my hatred out on you . " His fingernails dug deep into his palms . " But I never thought that you ... you were a victim too ." " You were always my sister in my heart . I failed you ; I caused you so much pain. " " Caleb ... he did better than me . " I didn't answer . The wind , laden with fine rain , swept across Caleb's photo on the tombstone . His eyes were gentle , as if he was still watching me . Forgive ? I didn't know . But I knew some wounds couldn't be healed with just an apology . Finally , I took the money Caleb left me and went abroad to study . At the airport farewell , Mia secretly slipped me a note with her and Mom and Dad's contact information . " Sister , if you ever get tired , remember to come home . We're all waiting for you . " I smiled , tucked the note into my pocket , and walked through the security checkpoint . As the plane soared into the clouds , I gazed at the churning sea of clouds outside the window , gently touching the pendant around my neck . Inside it was a photo of Caleb and me . " Brother , thank you for letting me know that I , too , was always loved . This time , I'll live well for you . " 5days ago Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
