Chapter 21 Home Again

Eric sat on the porch of his father’s ranch watching the clouds move slowly across the South Dakota sky. “I’ve missed this,” he thought to himself. His brothers Devon and Jarod were busy unloading their gear from the pickup truck in front of the house. He sat watching them, amazed at how tall they’d gotten in his absence. Jarod, he thought, looked increasingly like their mother every day, and Devon, well to look at Devon one would think that Standing Elk had just spit him out. The peace and quiet of the ranch was something that he’d dearly missed in Chicago. There were times when all he wanted to do was shut out the noise. He’d often thought how wonderful it would be if he could just flip a switch and make everything as quiet as it was now.

It was, most often, in those times when he would think of Raven. Leaving her had been the most difficult thing he’d ever had to do. Nevertheless, he had obligations, to his family and to their community. Many sacrifices had been made to send him to medical school and he knew he had to honor those sacrifices. Staying was not an option, honor demanded that he go, and Eric Andrews was nothing if not honorable. He and Raven had made promises to each other, promises of fidelity, honesty and waiting. Waiting for this separation to be over so that they could start their lives together. Promises of love and family and children, promises that they would make come true just as soon as he returned.

He remembered that day at the airport like it was yesterday. Raven and her brothers standing there with his family, she trying to hold back her tears, and failing miserably. They’d said their good-byes the night before, privately, this, was just the ‘going’ of it. As he walked down the ramp to board his plane he’d turned walking backwards, looking at her he said “toksha ake wacinyuanktin ktelo” “shil nzhoo”. She blew him a kiss, mouthing the words that they sworn to each other many moons ago…”First, Best, Always.”

They’d been together a long time he and Raven, ever since that day in the 4th grade when she blacked his eye for saying that she smelled like a toad. His mother had not been pleased, and insisted on knowing who it was that had done this to her baby. She’d promptly gathered up Eric and drove over to the home of the ‘unruly little bully’ Raven to inform his parents. Eric had conveniently failed to mention that ‘Raven’ was a girl or that he was the one who started the fight and when the little troublemaker was ordered ‘front and center’ by her mom, well… let’s just say that both mothers had a good laugh that day. Raven was made to apologize, and while their mothers sat laughing and getting to know each other over coffee, Eric gave Raven his toad…and his heart.

They were fast friends after that, going everywhere together. Many were the days when they couldn’t get their chores done fast enough so they could run off and play. Amanda always seemed to be trying to get Eric to sit still long enough for her to brush his tangled hair and tie it back away from his face, explaining that at 10, he wasn’t a little boy anymore; he was a young man, and young men didn’t wear their hair loose like that. But it was as if someone had lit a fire under him, he’d peck his mom quickly on the cheek, running off, promise on the wind that he would do it right when he got home…he never did, and always seemed to go to bed looking like a little tangled mess.

Eric, who had mounted his first horse when he was two, taught Raven how to ride, and she in turn helped him with his long division. Their first days in junior high school were another of their milestones. Junior High meant a transfer for both of them, and although Raven made friends quickly, Eric, who had always been a more solitary person, did not adjust as easily.

It was on their 3rd day, during lunch period, Raven met Eric in the cafeteria and as they made their way through the lunch line Allison Devers made and ‘unfortunate’ remark about Eric. Unfortunate for her. She commented to her girlfriends that she didn’t know why anyone would want to sit with a ‘dirty Indian’, let alone eat lunch with one. Well, the ‘unruly little bully’ let her have it. Dumped her spaghetti and meatballs over Allison’s head grabbed her by the front of her shirt collar and threatened to knock her teeth down her throat if she ever said anything like that again about her friend. She spent the next two weeks in detention and her parents grounded her for a month. They probably wouldn’t have been so hard on her, all things considered, but she had flatly refused to apologize to Allison, telling all the grown-ups involved that…

“Nobody talks about Eric like that! Nobody!”

Her parents told her that they applauded her conviction, and her defense of her friend, but she just couldn’t go around talking to grown-ups that way. So, she was left counting the days and marking them off on the calendar until her freedom was restored.

Eric too was not above a little mayhem when it came to his friend. To this day his brothers still joke about that time in High School when Marcus Broadbear eased up to Raven and ‘copped a feel’ in the bleachers at the softball game. Eric came unglued, he also came off the bench and into the bleachers that day, and damn near got thrown off the team in the process, but Marcus never put his hands where they didn’t belong again. Aaron and Brandon teased Eric unceasingly after that, saying that if he’d moved that fast during the game they probably would have won the state championship that year. But Eric didn’t mind, because every time they brought it up he remembered how Raven thanked him for coming to her rescue, how she’d kissed him for the very first time, right there under the right field bleachers. That was the way it was with them, friends, First, Best and Always.
