Jude's POV
I saw a woman in the far, so I came near to her. It turned out that she's a janitor. She looked at me with warm welcoming eyes " Hey boy. Come here. Where do you live? Why did you wander here at midnight?", she asked me. Then, I explained all things to her, and she suddenly hugged me " Oh Jude, don't worry. I will take you to the bus station tomorrow. Now, come to my flat and sleep. I only live alone." She sounded like a kind person, so I agreed. She took me to her small flat and gave me a glass of water and lead me to the bed. She hugged me tightly and cuddled my hair and my cheek. She told lots of stories about her and I was listening and we laughed a lot. After that, she sang a lullaby and I slept very well. She hugged me tightly, and I felt like my mom was here. It's the first time I can feel this emotions since I was born. I was so touched.
Oscar's POV:
I even don't know what happened to my Jude. Two days ago, we had a picnic with his uncle and we had done lots of things together. In lunch, my brother gave me a can of soda, and I happily drank it. I didn't know why, but after drinking, I felt dizzy. In the late afternoon, my brother yelled and called my name with cracked voice : " Oscar, my poor little brother, Jude was lost. I tried to find him but I couldn't. I don't know where he was". He cried loudly and embraced me. My face was pale after this shocking news, I asked him: " No, are you kidding me? Jude is good boy, he never goes anywhere without my permission. How can it happen?". I returned to Los Angeles and asked police to help me find him. They tried to investigate and stick announcement around LA, but there wasn't any information. I cried very much at night, and I was afraid that he was in danger. I held his silver bracelet that my wife gave to me. She said" Oscar, I feel weaker. I want to give it to Jude, our son. Let's wear it and give my love to him". She smiled brightly and closed her eyes, forever. I couldn't forget her after 7 years, but I tried to give Jude everything he wanted. I never forced him to study hard or get high results. But he is a smart and well behaved boy. I always feel proud of him. But now, he isn't here. We went to the woods and found the bracelet on the ground. I held it on my hand and kept it near me. I was thinking about him when the picture of Jude and me was shattered on the floor. I don't know why, but my side was broken entirely. I start feeling very anxious.
Jude's POV:
In the next morning, after waking up, I went to the kitchen because of the scent of foods flooding in my nostrils. I saw Mrs. Clara( the woman saved me yesterday) making omelet and placed some slices of bread on the kitchen table. I greeted: "Good morning, Mrs. Clara. How are you?"
"I'm good Jude. Are you hungry? I'm cooking. Sit on the table. Breakfast is almost ready", she answered. I sat on the chair and waited. When I was eating, Clara asked me " Jude, where do you live?". "I live in Los Angeles with my father. I miss him so much", I pouted. "Don't worry, I will help you to find your family. There is a store near here, we can borrow them cell phone. Do you remember your Dad's number?". "Yes, of course".
"You are too smart, Jude".
After breakfast, she took me to the store and she borrowed cell phone. I dialed to my Dad, after 2 rings, I heard my dad in other direction:
-Hello. Who am I speaking to?
-Daddy, I'm Jude. Are you still good?
-Jude, my son. Where are you now? What happened? I miss you so much.
I heard my dad sobbing, then I gave the phone to Mrs. Clara:
-Hello Sir. I'm Clara. I saw your son on the street, so I took him to my house. We are in XXX town, I
want to meet you.
-Yeah. I'm Oscar. Thanks for your kindness, Mrs. Clara. I will drive to your place now. Can you
take him to the bus station. I will pick up both of you. I want you to become Jude's nanny. Is it OK?
-OK. I will consider it. I will take him after 30 mins. See you soon, Mr. Oscar.
-I will see you soon, Jude. My dad said and hang up the phone.
After the call, Clara took me to the bus station. I was excited to come back home. Clara was sitting near me the whole hours but we didn't see my dad. So, Clara decided to take me to my home. She caught a cab and we went to my house We were on the cab when it stopped suddenly . We saw some police blocked the road. The taxi driver and we took off to ask them. When I took off the cab and a police approached:
"Hey kid, don't come here. It's dangerous"
"What happened, sir?"- Clara asked him.
"There was an accident here. A car was fallen under the mountain and we are trying to find the victim"
I came closer, and I saw the familiar car. It looked like my dad's. I was wondering when another police said "Hey, our team just found a wallet. It is written as 'Oscar Kinkade, DOB: 12/04/1984,in LA' "
I couldn't believe in my ears, and I screamed : No, you are lying. You are bad, I don't believe you, no!". I collapsed and cried loudly. Clara came behind me and embraced me tightly and patted my back " Jude, my poor son. I can't imagine what happened. How can God be unfair to you. You are orphan now! How unfair!". She said with cracked voice and she also cried. After a while, they found my dad's corpse and they took it to the cemetery. I took my silver bracelet and placed it in my heart and looked at the sky.
Oscar's POV:
I was so happy when I heard my son's voice. I immediately drove to the destination. I took on my car and sped up as fast as possible. When I drove near to the cliff, I wanted to slow down, so I used my brake. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I couldn't do anything. I was panicked and then my car crashed and fell down the cliff. I don't know why the brake couldn't work at that time. I closed my eyes and I saw my wife holding my hands and we flew upon the sky.
