Loss is part of life.

Alex PV's

After a week I was finally able to stand up, I went to the mirror to take a look and let's just say that as much as I've been in bed for the last four years, I'm still pretty good, just a little thin more from food. From grandma Mary this I recover quickly.

After a month, I was discharged and ready to go home, the only problem is that grandmas and dad are fighting over where I will live, my dad says that now he is present and I want to stay with him , my grandmothers say that her house is my home and that I shouldn't go out, the impasse doesn't stop and we are disturbing the peace of the hospital.

I finally managed to convince the father that I don't want to live with June, he took a long time to accept it, now I'm going hunting with him next year, Bob Lee is coming too, I think he's too young but his father left I can't do it anything.

Many months have passed since I woke up and we are already in 1986 Today is January 15th and father is coming to get me to go hunting. In the last few months my father introduced me to a group of teachers to teach me, I also learned what changed in my body after the accident, apparently I gained photographic memory and also high understanding, when the teachers came to teach I learned like a sponge, since I had learned everything in my last life so it was all without big problems, I decided to get in touch with technology since we are in 86 technology is going to enter a new era and I don't want to be left behind.

My dad came and came with Bob Lee and a man I know from the show, Sean the Swagger family lawyer, apparently he and his dad are high school friends Sean left the state to study and work at a good law firm, came back recently and opened his office in the city, met his father again and now he's here, nothing too complicated.

After we arrived at the camp, I had to admit Texas is very dangerous for outsiders, every family practically knows how to use guns or has guns at home, it's almost always more than one, my dad has two hunting rifles with him and the Sean has a revolver with him.

After fixing everything dad said I have to accompany him on the hunt while Sean and Bob go get ready for the arrival of the meat, after which it was hours we found a deer, and well dad put a bullet in it and all was well.

(A/N: Bullshit ahead hahahah just to complete the story, I don't know much about hunting so forgive me (─.─||)... )

Earl looks at Alex and says.( listen Alex, in the hunt you must be patient, because the prey will not appear in front of you and wait for you to kill it, you must follow the techniques that I just taught you, and more important, Never did I say never, point your gun at something you're not going to kill, do you understand?)

Alex looks at dad seriously and says.(Yes dad, I understand, hunting requires patience, don't point your gun at something you don't want to kill)

(that's right boy, be responsible with a gun in your hands because it's something dangerous, look here, they come with a safety lock, only unlock it if you're sure you're going to shoot, if it's not unlocked it's not dangerous, pay close attention Alex because a bullet is forever!) Earl looks at Alex in all seriousness as he says this.

Coming back to the camp we had a lot of fun and it was all very happy, my first moment of father and children in my two lives, Bob was the happiest of all, and Sean and a lot of nice people, he seems like an uncle to us, after enjoying the whole weekend, we came home and I got into a routine.

I went to school for the first time in my life, I played with Alan, I took private lessons at home, I learned several languages, martial arts and Uncle Sean taught me some laws and history and so my childhood passed, and we entered the year 1989, a year of tragedy in the Swagger family, grandma Mary left this year, after getting a call from school as I was fighting with some older students who called me a bastard and a few other things, grandma went to school to solve the situation, but before she could arrive, a truck caught her on the road and destroyed her entire car, she had no chance of survival, when I received this news I fainted immediately, I only woke up the other day, the family was all together until June behaved herself that day, as it was Grandma Mary's wake.

After Granny Mary's death Granny Lala looks like she's aged about twenty years, I sometimes think the only thing holding her to this world is me and Lee, but even that doesn't seem to be enough now, Granny Lala lost her spirituality and vivacity, now she took on the role of grandma Mary so she became much more serious and strict, she is still grandma Lala but it seems like she is and at the same time not, but it's ok, I know she's already lost too much I did what I could to improve her spirits, but it wasn't until Bob Lee's birthday that she showed signs of improvement.

After Bob Lee's birthday our dad took me, Bob Lee and Alan hunting but this time I'm armed too, dad's been a little weird lately but I think it's because of his mother's death, he doesn't look like much concentrated on his surroundings, half worried, out of nowhere the father stops and says.

(Lee, Alex, come here, I want to talk to you. Well sometimes bad things happen to good people and good people do bad things thinking they're doing the right thing. You shouldn't judge people by what others say, and you should form your own opinions, understand?)

(yes dad!) the two responded at the same time, but Alex was intrigued!

(dad why are you saying that, does it have something to do with June? or was it grandma Mary's death?

Dad why do people leave so soon? why is grandma gone?) asks Alex still intrigued by his father's words.

(Alex, loss is part of life, grandma was already an old lady, and she didn't have as much energy as you kids, so she didn't survive the accident. I'm talking about life, you must face life with the open minded, don't get carried away by prejudice, like June she missed the opportunity to meet you Alex, out of sheer spite and rancor! that's not something grandma Mary would want from you)

(I see dad!) says Alex a little less intrigued, but deep down he still feels uneasy.

Right after the hunt there was lunch and they enjoyed the family weekend at the camp, Alex learned more about guns and hunting, soon he discovered that not only was his memory good but also his muscle memory, everything he learns I was able to put into practice instinctively, this made him very happy and he learned everything his father taught him like a sponge.
