When to say goodbye
(I do not own anything but the story line)
I watched as our daughter played Call of Duty on our Televison set. It was early September. Alex was a fire fighter and was getting ready to leave for work. I got up and walked over to her "I love you" I said. She grabbed my waist and pulled me close to her "I love you too" she said and kissed me. "I have to leave for work, Sonny be good. I love you and listen to your mother". She said to our daughter and then pecked my lips and ran out the door. Sonny was focused on the Tv as she started a new match for search and destroy.
"You have 15 minutes until the game is over and we leave for school understood" I said. "But mom!". "Allison Margarita Lovato, no buts you have school and you should have said goodbye to your mother!" I exclaimed. I guess 12 is the new teenage angst. She finished up her match and then put her shoes on. "Lets go you better not make us late". She then grabbed her bag and we were out the door. The car ride was silent for New York and we usually talk about how 'cool' her mom was for being this big and bad fire fighter.
I guess she wasn't in the mood for talking so I piped up and asked her. "What's wrong with you?" I asked. She just shook her head slightly. "I feel like something really bad is gonna happen" she said in a depressed tone she kinda sounded like a boy for some reason. We pulled up to her school and you could see all the kids running around. I pushed her hair behind her ear. "Don't worry, just keep your mind off of it" I reasured her. She got out if the car and pulled her bad along with her. I waited for her to go up to her friends and then drove back home.
I turned on the tv and went into the kitchen. I had perfect view so i started to make some breakfast. It was at least 9 when I finished and I was relaxing infront of the TV. I covered up with a blanket and must have fell asleep. I awoke to a loud crashing sound and I heard a new reporter come onto the Tv. "Breaking News: A plane had crashed into the first building of the world trade center. We don't know if it was a rouge pilot or what but all we know is as you can see many people are injured and running for their lives".
I started to worry. "We have comformation that the New York fire department Alpha team lead by one Alex Russo has gone into the second building to evacuate all personell. We believe.." she stared to speek but then the second building started to colapse and so did I.
