After breakfast I cleaned the bowls and packed everything back in my rucksack. We
shook hands and I told him the bendarat Hilton was the best motel I’d ever stayed
in. Od Bill laughed and said ‘’me too. I crossed the tracks heading to the library.
When I looked back, I saw Old Bill with his back to me looking up at the sky. He
stood there for a long time, not moving. Like he was praying, then he picked up his
swag and walked slowly, deliberately, north. I watched until he was out of sight and
looked up into the sky the deep blue sky that old bill and I shared.
It was sad seeing Old Bill leave, I could not describe how much he has changed
both of our lives. I am not the same timid boy people once knew, and he is not the
same alcoholic man that I used to know. Me and Caitlin were doing our daily chores,
mopping, vacuuming and dusting. Even though we know this house is not ours we
felt like it was. A few minutes later Caitlin had to go and do her shift for McDonalds, I
went along with her. ‘’Billy, I think it is time that you meet my parents’’ Caitlin said
while mopping the floor. The thought of that made me feel sick in my stomach, me
meeting the richest people in Benderat. Judging by my facial expression, Caitlin said
‘’everything is going to be okay’’. After Caitlin’s work, she said to follow her. Although
I have been in Caitlin's house, I went in without her parents' consent. I still kept on
getting mesmerized by the beauty of their house. There was a lot of tension when
me and Caitlin were walking in front of the house, Cailten clutched at my hand, I did
the same thing.
Caitlen knocked on the door, ‘’come in’’. When we walked inside me and Caitlin saw
her parents watching the news. We went slowly inside the house, it was so awkward
time starts to become slow when you have nothing to do.
