Complications
Chapter Two
The Reaccuring Nightmare
That mourning was like any other at Mommy and Daddy's house on Thanksgiving. I woke up to the smell of a mouth watering traditional turkey dinner whith my mug of coffe already set out on the bedside table so that I woudn't go down and take a little bite of the turkey still in the oven probably. I can't wait untill Marco gets here he's so fun he'll probably get here about 3 and it's 12 now so I still have another 3 hours to wait. Wa! I don't like waiting hum! I'm hungry I got up after finishing my cup of coffe and wen't down stairs to the living room where my parents had brunch all set out for me whith another cup of coffe hot'n ready. More syrup than pancake exactly the way I like it and exactly the way my Mommy and Daddy have done for me every holiday the family gets together for dinner since before I can even remember! Which is pretty much every holliday since before I was born.
After I finished eating brunch I slid my dishes into the cat door leading to the kitchen. I went back up to my room that used to be Marco's when he still lived at home but he moved away to colage a year after I came along. They graduated from colage last year but Amio was born even before Sydny and Marco were married. They married whith Mommy's and Daddy's consent 3 years after amio was borne and they were seven-teen but Mommy and Daddy took care of the baybe so they could go to collage. Amio moved in whith his parents after they graduated last year but before he live whith me Mommy and Daddy so we'r realy close evan thogh I'm 6 and he's 11. We talk about everything including his girl problems they just started recently but he hasn't had a girlfriend yet but he does like this girl at school and he talks about her all the freaking time. Tonya this and Tonya that it's sickening! But I can endure it. I supose.
I'm up in my room coloring in my coloring book when I here the doorbell ring and I know exactly who it is. I know mommy expects me to answer the door like I have for every dinner holiday since I learned how to run. I went streeking down the sairs through the living room into the vestibule to answer the door screaming the entire time at the top of my lungs MMMMMMMMMMaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrccccccccooooooooooooo. I flung the door almost off it's hinges and before I evan saw Marco he scooped me up bridal styal and spun me around untill I felt whoosy then put me back on my feet where I unceremoniusly fell on my but to the cold stone floor. He then picked me back up by my armpits and sat me on his hip whith my leggs around his waist and walked inside the house then closed the door whith his unoccupied hip. Concidering his armes were full of his Lil' bro. Triston. He cairried me up stairs to my room set me on the bed then asked. "Mom still making dinner? " I nodded enthusiasticly then he sugested we go get ice cream! I jumped noded and yelled." yes!" All at the same time.
He then picked me up and put me back on the floor from the bed and held my hand as we walked down stairs out side where my sister'n law and nephew were waiting for us. Me and Amio played Rock-paper-scisors yelling screamind and booing depending on whether we won or lost all the way to the ice cream parlor. once we got thier becouse we come here so often the guy behind the counter already knew exactly what we wanted and by the time the door opened and the little dingaling sound went off we had our orders on the counter ready to go. The guy smiled at us as Marco payed for the ice cream and we left headed back home in Marco's olive green volvo when Sydney pointed out smoke in the general direction of my house.
We folowed the smoke and we found a huge crowed of people around evan larger puffs of smoke whith flames that you could see over the heads of the crowed. We got out of the car and I folowed Marco as he pushed his way through the crowed untill we got to a line of yellow coution tape. There were figher fighters tryng to put it out and police men interviewing witnesses. Marco went up to one who was writing in his note pad and got his attention "excuse me but can-" "your not alowed accross the tape unless your a family memmber " the police officer nearly snapped at us Marco noded and told the officer "Yes I'm a famely memmber. The owners of this house were my parents. Can you tell me what happened here?" The policeman's expresion changed from snapish to sympathetic as he replied but I don't rememmber what he said becouse that's when I figured it out.
This house standing in front of me burst into a roaring flame of destuction was my home. My parents were in theirbefore I left. Are they dead? What happened? My whole body went num at the thought that my parent were dead! My life would just end! I don't know what would happen. Who would take care of me? Where would I live? What would I eat? Who would I talk to and play whith? my parents were probably two of my best friend in the world I don't know what I'd do whithout them! The officer pulled me out of my thoughts whith his sympathetic voice "I'm sorry about what happened I know it's hard at your age or at any age for that matter to lose your parents but it'll get better. I promise."he was bent down on one knee so he could look me in the eye but I refused to do so. I know it wasn't his fault but he could have done somthing. Anything! To help my parents while they were alive. It almost felt as if my body was literaly on fire and someome shot a whole right through my heart. I stopped breathing when I realized that every thing I had just thought of was going to be reality from now on becouse I was right they realy are dead after that realization it was like I had no controle of my body. I ran! I ran as fast as I could! I don't know where I was going and I don't know why all I knew was I had to get away becouse staying thier would be nothing but torment. So I ran and I ran. I ran until I literaly passed out frome lack of oxegen.
I woke myself up from my Nightmare becouse I was screaming so loud but every one in the house already knew not to bother me when I wake up screaming like a mad man in a puddle of my own cold sweat. Sometimes I wish I could just forget every thing about that day from begining to end. In my case the saying ignorance is bliss is very true but unfortunatly i'm not among the ignorant. Well I guss it's time to take a bath and wash the sheets. does'nt look as if i'll be getting rest any time soon.
