I park the car infront off my family house. The house I grew up in and now my aunt and uncle live here. I gripp the steering wheel and take a deep breath, trying to hold in my tears. "I can't do this" I say now crying as I looked over at my old house. A little kid, I dont recognize, running from the garden to the front being chased by my father with a water-gun. The little boys faint yelling and giggling from getting wet from the water. My father picks him up and spins him around. My mother walks out and laughs. I gripp the steering wheel tighter as I see them playing and having memories with someone else. Suddenly my parents head move to face me. "Mum, dad. It's me. Andrew" I say stepping out the car crying. They look confused. "Andrew?" My mother speaks. I nodd "yes" I say as I walk closer. "Mommy who is that" the kid asks. I stop walking and atand completly still. "Thats you but older" she answers. She lowers the kid and he runs to me. He wants to give me a hugg but he goes straight through me. I gasp shocked as I grab my stomach and fall to the ground. My parents quickly walk to me. Dad reaches out a hand. I take it but my hand goes straight through his. "This is your fault" he suddenly says very calm. "What?" I ask looking up. "You killed us" mom says. "No I didnt" I say tears streaming down my face. "YES YOU DID!" They both scream, "if you where here with us we wouldnt be killed by a drunk driver" dad screams. I cover my ears at their loud screaming. I can see mini me doing the same. He is also sitting down. "And now you live with someone who has a drunk and drug related past as well. Even better you are his adopted son!" mom yells. "No. Stop!" I yell back. I look up and see my father raising his hand. My eyes are locked on his hand while it comes down. It hits my face. I gasp as I open my eyes and look around. No father, no mother, no mini me. And Im still in the car. "Just a nightmare. J-j-just
a-a-a n-nightmare" I cry as I put my head on the steering wheel. "They would ne-never lay a ha-hand on m-me. J-just like Ro-Robert and Su-Sus-Susan" I stutter. I breath in and out looking out the front mirror. "Just a fucking nightmare" I say hitting the steering wheel. I sigh and go out the car and walk to the front door. I knock on it and my aunt does open. She can tell I cried but she doesnt say it.

My aunt walks into the livingroom with a box and places it in front of me. "There is something in there that you might want" she says with a smile and then walks away. I watch her leave and then turn to look at the box. I take a deep breath and then open the box. Two rings are layed in the box. I regonize them. I bought these rings for mum and dad and they always wore them. "He aunt Lizz?" I yell. She walks in. "How did you get these. I thought they went in the grave along with them?" I say raising an eyebrow. "We took them off. We made sure you wouldnt realize it when they got buried. Sorry for that" she said, "no its okay" I say hugging her.

A day past and I was now standing in front of my parents grave. I say nothing, the only sound is from my breathing and tbe birds chirping. "You know it sucks that I get nightmares about you guys. Eventhough you guys raised me with love and passion not hate" I say looking at the sky laughing with wet eyes. I put my hands in my pockets. I feel something. I pull it out and see its the rings. I bite my lip while thinking of something. "You told me that I have to remember everyone I love" I say. "Be right back mum and dad" I say with a big smile and walk away from the two grave stones.

I bought a necklace and hang two dog-tags on it.

After the names got carved in, the date from my birth to the death of my parents and the adoption date by the Downeys. I put the necklace on. Now I'm going to wear this always. I walk to flower store and buy some flowers. I walk back to the graveyard. I dig a little hole and put the two rings in them. "You keep these so you remember me. Because I have this" I say grabbing the necklace. "I'll remember you for this" I say as I plant some flowers with the rings before standing up and walking away.
