IT STARTED WITH A WISH
Chapter 1 : Rose
A young Rose was looking at her friends pictures frowning. Today was show and tell at the school; and her friend Shareen had brought a picture of her and her sister, Laura.
They were standing side by side, smiling happily at the camera. The picture had been taken during Halloween; the both of them were respectively dressed as snow white and sleeping beauty.
Shareen often talked about her. Laura was older by one year, and thus in a different school, but the two of them were close.
And then later, when came Mickey's turn, he brought his cousin's army's plates. Telling them stories about his cousin's times in the army and all the cool stuff he taught him.
Telling them, how he came back to live with him and his gran; to help them. And you could hear in his voice, the hero worship he had of his cousin. And listening to them, she couldn't help but feeling a little jealous and lonely.
That day, Rose Tyler decided she wanted a sibling.
"So? How was school today?" Jackie Tyler asked her daughter as they got home.
"It was okay." She answered shrugging.
"Anything interesting happened?" She asked again.
"Today was Show and Tell." Was her daughter's short answer.
"Right." She had known today was show and tell, Rose had asked yesterday if she could take ; a soft toy who looked like the love child of a mouse and a rabbit. It had been a gift from her father before he died.
Jackie looked at her daughter in concern, this morning she had been excited to show her toy to her friends, but now she seemed oddly quiet.
She prepared dinner while Rose went to play in her room, still worried about her little girl.
When the time came to eat and Rose was still being silent, Jackie couldn't take it anymore.
"Sweetheart, what's wrong? You've been so quiet ever since you got home. What is it? Do you have some troubles at school? "
Rose shook her head no.
"Then what is it?" Jackie asked getting desperate to know what was wrong with her daughter.
Rose looked at her mother, weighing whether she wanted to tell her, and then finally blurted out:"I want a sibling!"
Jackie looked at her daughter, opened her mouth, then closed it; not sure how to answer her.
"Please?" She asked again, underrated by her mother's silence. "I promise to play with him or her and to lend my toys and to always be nice and…and…"
"Rose! Rose, stop!" Jackie said finally, cutting her daughter's rant.
She sighed, still not sure how to answer that. Rose looked at her mother, awaiting her answer.
"Honey, it's not that I don't want to but…well…you need a mommy and a daddy for that. I'm sorry."
"Oh." Said Rose, disappointed.
"Where did this come from anyway? I bet it's that Howpkins kid. I always said…"
Rose tuned out her mother rant, used to them.
Later in her room, she thought about what her mother said. She needed a daddy. But hers was in heaven, her mommy said so.
She furrowed her brows. She remembered her teacher Mrs. Lewis saying once when Mike, a kid from her class, had lost his grandmother; that he could still talk to her in heaven, by praying.
Maybe if she prayed to her daddy very strongly, he would hear her in heaven and maybe give her a sibling.
Revived by that thought, she went to her window and looked up at the sky. Heaven was in the sky, everybody said so.
She clasped her hands together, shut her eyes in concentrations and then, asked her daddy if he could send her a sibling; a brother or a sister, promising to be nice to him or her.
She repeated her mantra, until late at night, until she was so tired that she fell asleep in her position.
She never saw a star blinking into existence for one second, before disappearing.
