Hey guys,
this is my story about Mark's life. I thought, that it would be something else, than Quogan, Choey or other couples. They will be in later chapters.
Here is 'If everybody could be happy!'
Hello, my name is Mark DelFiggalo and I want to take you on a trip through my life.
First of all, I'll tell you, that my life wasn't great till now. Whatever, I'll just tell you from the beginning.
My mother was in labour for about 24 hours. Then I was born. I was a really fat child, 6 kilos!
She, my mother sighed in relief, when I was born, she didn't have to carry 6 kilos in her stomach anymore.
She held me in her arms, kissed my head and was lucky, really lucky.
When the nurse wanted to wrap me in my first diaper, I peed on her uniform.
She was really angry, laid me down and didn't want to wrap me in it anymore; instead she left to change her uniform.
Another nurse came, and this one was nicer, finally wrapped me in my very first diaper. She gave me to my mom and left the room, too.
Mom held me tight and I fell asleep on her warm chest. This was the beginning of a wonderful new life, wasn't it?
Mom and Dad couldn't sleep for 4 weeks, because of me. They didn't like to stand up in the middle of the night, to feed me, or to change my diaper. But who said, that having a baby is easy?
When I was six years old I was a very hyperactive child. When my parents told me something, I made the total opposite. I found that funny, to drive my parents nuts, but that had had an end after that day.
It was a normal morning and I was sleeping. Suddenly I heard a loud bang from downstairs. I woke up rapidly, opened the door and ran down. That was a mistake. My parents were unconscious and tied up on chairs. And my English sheep dog, Pegasus, short Peggy, was lying on the floor. His blood was everywhere. The first thing I thought was, that Peggy was dead. I made my way up to him, when someone grabbed my arm. I screamed.
There was a big man with pantyhose on his head. It looked ridiculous, I mean are these burglars that stupid, to check that you can see them despite of this pantyhose?
He looked at me.
"There's a fat child, what shall I do?" he asked his partner.
"Kill him!"
"That isn't such a great idea. The police would punish us, for killing a human."
"You're right…Ah, I found the money! Let's go!"
"Great. Listen little fat boy, you've never seen us, got it?"
"But I'm seeing you right now."
"Hey, are you kidding me? If you tell the police, that you've seen us, I'll kill your parents! Got it now?" he asked with a threatened voice.
I just nodded, afraid of what he's going to do next.
"Good" was all he said. Then he and his partner left our house, and I knew, that we'll never see them again.
I went to Peggy and pet his dead body. A tear rolled down my cheek and I closed the eyes for a short moment
I looked all over the whole living room, where the scene just happened. I sighed and went to my parents.
"Mommy, Daddy. Wake up, please." I begged. Then I got an idea. I went to the kitchen and got a jar with cold water in it.
My gaze met my parents sleeping bodies. I shook out all the water on their faces and they, suddenly, woke up.
A smile crossed my face. Like in the TV Shows, was my first thought after it.
I untied them and they hugged my tightly, like there was no tomorrow.
--
The next day I woke up and went to the kitchen, to have breakfast. I sat down on the table and watched my mom making pancakes. She gave me the first 5 peaces, stroked my head and kissed me on my cheek.
Then my dad stepped in.
"Morning daddy" I said and got up to hug him. He just looked at me. After I let go of him, he slapped me. My eyes grew bigger and tears were running down my cheek.
"IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT. IF YOU HAVE CALLED THE POLICE, LIKE I SHOWED YOU A WEEK AGO, WE WOULD STILL HAVE ALL OUR SAVINGS, WHICH THE BURGLARS STOLE!"
I got up and ran upstairs to my room. I heard my mother yelling at him, but that doesn't matter to me.
The next thing, I remembered was that a man in a dark blue uniform was sitting on a chair in front of my bed and trying to wake me up. I looked at him and he smiled.
"I woke him up" he shouted to the door.
"Who are you?" I asked, while mustering him.
"I won't do anything; I just want to talk to you a little." I sat up and another guy with a notebook sat next to the first man.
He asked me about the vicious attack. I told them everything they wanted to hear.
They gave me a lollipop and I was happy. After I ate it I fell asleep again, without brushing my teeth.
In the next morning my mom woke me. It was the first day in school and I was really excited.
Mom hugged and kissed me and dad drove me to school. On our way there, he apologized for the slap he gave me yesterday and I took his apologize. He promised me to buy me a new dog. And I was really happy again. After we arrived there he hugged me and kissed me, too. He looked after me, till I disappeared in one of those class rooms.
After school finished I headed out of the building to the court.
I waited for my dad, because he told me, that he would pick me up. After an hour of waiting, I began to cry. I wanted to be by my mommy.
After a while my new teacher headed out of the building and saw me.
"Mark, right?"
I just nodded.
"Where are your parents?"
I shrugged.
She sat beside me to comfort me.
"Do you want me to drive you home?"
I nodded again.
"Okay, come on."
She took me by the hand and we got in her car. I was allowed to sit in the passenger seat.
I told her my address and she drove me home.
We arrived there and we got off her car. We headed to the door and she knocked.
No answer.
She knocked again.
Still no answer.
I looked at her confused.
"Maybe your parents aren't home?" she asked.
"But…daddy told me, that he would pick me up."
"I'll call the police, okay?"
The teacher was angry, not only because my parents didn't pick me up, but also because they weren't at home.
The police arrived and knocked on the door. Once, twice and thrice. But then they gave up.
"Sorry, ma'am, nobody's home" a police man said.
"Then break the door" the teacher interjected furiously.
The police men looked at each other.
"We can't do this ma'am."
"Listen, this boy was waiting a whole hour for his parents to pick him up from school, but they didn't appear. And they won't open the door. Maybe they're playing some love games and forgot their son?" she said with an angry voice.
I looked confused, not knowing what she was meaning with love games. Are these funny games? Why are they playing without me? Couldn't they just wait?
The police men broke the door after a while of discussing with the teacher.
I had to wait outside.
After a while two ambulances arrived. Each one took a gurney out.
The teacher embraced me tightly after she talked with these police men again.
I didn't know why she did that, but it was comfortable, so I hugged her back.
After a few minutes, the ambulance men took two big black bags out and put them on the gurney. Then they drove away. I looked at the teacher.
"What happened?"
"Your parents…"
"What's with mommy and daddy?"
"Well, they had had an accident at home"
"Something happened to them?"
"They're in heaven, sweetie"
So this was the first Chapter, hope you enjoyed it.
Please tell me if you liked it or not, and tell me whether I should continue or not.
Please review, thanks
