Allen knew, that his sister could sometimes read him like a paper. He tried to keep his expression worry free, so she wouldn't figure anything out. "Nothing is wrong, Juanita. Why do you always think that something is wrong, whenever I suggest something good" he said, trying to avoid her gaze.Juanita shrugged and walked into her room. Allen called Darla, to come sit beside him. She ran to him quickly, smiling and sat down close to him."Darla? I want you to take good care of mom. Make sure that you two stay on vacation for a month. I know she may want to come back after one or two weeks, but make sure you insist on completing the vacation, do you understand? And remember to call me if she insists on coming back""I will, uncle Allen. I will make sure we stay on vacation for a month. I can't wait to have fun and tell you and my Friends about all the fun I will have" She said, then ran inside to her mother.Allen watched Darla leave and smiled. She was the smartest Ten year old he ha
Allen, Juanita and Darla were in the car, on their way to the airport. As Allen drove, he was always looking behind, through the rearview mirror, to be sure no one was following them. They got to the airport and Allen brought out their bags, taking them into the airport. He found a sit, told Juanita and Darla to sit while he go pay for their tickets. "Sit tight, I'll be back in a second" he said to them. Allen walked to the ticketing stands, paid for their tickets and was back in few minutes. As he was walking to where he left them, he couldn't see Juanita and Darla. He ran to where he left them as fear gripped his body. "Oh my God, oh no! Oh God, where are they" he said, under his breath. He walked to people, who were seated beside Juanita and Darla. He asked them if they had seen a woman and a child of about ten year old leave here. The other passengers didn't know where they went, so they just shrugged, and some shook her head. Allen put both hands on his head. He was becoming
Samantha touched her father's hand, tapping him so he could stop blinking, but he didn't. She and her mother held each of his hands, screaming. "Mom, please stay calm. I think dad is having a seizure. It should resolve in a few minutes. Let him go. We should let him sit through it" Samantha said, leaving her father's hand, but her mother refused to let him go.She touched her mother by the shoulder."Mom? you need to let dad go, he is having a seizure and we need to let his hand go. He should be find in few minutes, please mom" Her mother gently left his hand, looking into her husband's eyes as he kept blinking them. She had tears In her eyes that were waiting to fall. She turned to Samantha and they hugged each other. "I Shouldn't have asked him any questions, maybe that triggered this, it's my fault, Sammy" She said, sobbing. "No mom, it's definitely not your fault. it was just a coincidence, so stop blaming yourself" Her mother raised her head and stepped back to look at Saman
The doctor was seated, raised her eyes to Look at Samantha. "Please have a seat, miss Samantha it doesn't work that way. We need to carry out various tests, to determine whether your father can withstand.....; "I know all of that doctor, I know all of this, but it's just so unfair. My dad is the most selfless man I have ever known. Why did this have to happen to him. Why does it have to be him, why!! Samantha said, falling back to her seat. Samantha looked at the doctor as she explained things to her. She was now fully back to herself and listened to the doctor, word for word. After the doctor had explained things to her, she walked out of the doctor's office. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Samantha Walked out to see her mother, reading a book to her father. She couldn't take the pain and sadness anymore. Her heart felt so heavy in her chest. She turned and ran to the hospital's toilet. She sat on the toilet seat cover and cried. Samantha didn't know what pain and sadness was, until now. She c
"Oh hey, Sammy. Why push me so hard, I almost fell! Kay said, smiling mischievously."I don't care if you fall, Kay. I said, what are you doing here! Get out of here this minute! She said.Kay tried to walk close to her, but Samantha stepped back."Oh, so now you are scared of me? he asked."Look here Kay, don't flatter yourself. Why should I be scared of you. If for anything, you should be scared of me. You think I don't scheme? oh you lie. I am a scheming bitch Kay. You just haven't seen me do it. Let me tell you something you don't know. You see my parents over there? They are everything to me. They mean the World to me and if you so much as step foot close to them, I swear with my life, I will kill you" Kay's eyes widened with shock. He looked at Samantha with eyes wide open. He didn't know who she was anymore. He didn't know this woman standing In front of him. She was fierce and competitive. He liked it and smiled, evily."Wow! I like this side of you, Samantha. Fierce, challen
"Samantha I said, you will regret this. You will regret calling me a cricket. You will regret calling the father of my child a stray dog. I will show you who owns him" Rose said, still hiding behind Kay.Kay didn't say a word. He stood there like a frozen sculpture, just looking at Samantha. They both watched Samantha, with confusion in their eyes. This wasn't really the Samantha they knew. She has changed. Samantha looked at them both, scoffed and left.~~~~~~~~~~~~~As Samantha walked to her parents, she smiled at them. She was happy within herself. She didn't know what came over her, as she challenged Kay and Rose. She had forgotten about the bad news she received about her father as she confronted them , but as she walked to her parents, her smile began to fade. She was walking back to reality. She was walking back to the fact that her father still had a brain tumour and it wasn't going away. Samantha had to put a smile on her face. She didn't want her mother to notice that some
Samantha who was also eating, stopped. She wiped particles of food on her lips, took a sip of water and looked at her mother."I don't know, mom. I think there is something about Allen that draws me to him. Sometimes I think we have met before, and sometimes I think our first meeting was when we met at the coffee shop. I also have this dream about meeting him in the past, but it's not clear yet. I have decided not to remember the past anymore and focus on my future with him. I like Allen, mom and I want to see where our relationship heads" Her mother was nodding as Samantha spoke, but something she said, caught her attention. "Samantha? did you just say you met at a coffee shop?"Yes mom, why?"Tell me about it, Sammy. I want to hear how you both met. I love to hear romantic meetings, it makes me feel young again" Her mother said, with her eyes closed and smiling."No, mom it wasn't romantic at all. It was embarrassing I must say"Her mother opened her eyes, and turned to her. "Emb
"It's a 'he' mom, the dog is male and the owner must be around somewhere. Come on, let's go mom" Her mother tried to leave, but the puppy wouldn't let her. The puppy held onto her clothes with its teeth. "Sammy? can we take him? I don't think he has an owner" Samantha looked at her mother. Her mother didn't know what was coming. Her mother didn't know what she will be going through from now on. Samantha knew, that if she told her mother about her father's brain tumour, keeping puppies will be the least of her worries."Mom, you can't afford to take care of a pet right now" Her mother pet the dog for some time, then stood up. As she walked away to the car, she occasionally turned to see the puppy still staring at her. She was close to the car when she turned back, and ran to pick the puppy up. "I think we should at least take it to the animal shelter. But I will take care of it for some time"Samantha couldn't talk her mother out of not taking the puppy, so she gave up and let her
