Finding a surprise in the Park
Craig walked down the street and finally reached Degrassi Street. Which Degrassi Community School was still standing which was filled with good and bad memories that shaped his entire life. Craig stood in front of the school thinking about all the old times he spent there but one in particular flashed into his mind.
*Flashback*
Sixteen- year old Craig Manning was sitting in front of school talking to Spinner and Jimmy when he start he saw a little girl that looked like a tiny version of Manny crying with the same colored eyes as him and long her hair like Manny and his mother.
"Hey guys do you see that over there" Craig said pointing to the little girl
Jimmy and Spinner followed his hand but no one was there.
"Man what are you talking about" Spinner said stretching his neck as far as he could
"You're telling me you don't see that little girl crying over..." Craig said not finishing his sentence realizing himself that the girl had disappeared
Jimmy and Spinner exchanged glances they were worried about every since Manny left he had been seeing the same little girl crying.
"Listen Craig I'm serious maybe Joey's right maybe you should talk to the guidance counselor" Jimmy said sounding genuinely concerned
"No I fine ok I'm just tired I'm going to go get me some sleep" Craig said grabbing his book bag and walking off
"Band Practice tomorrow you up to it" Spinner called after him
"Why wouldn't I be up to Band Practice just try to rip Dylan and Marco apart" Craig yelled back to the guys
Craig continued to walk down the street when the little girl reappeared. Craig knew this wasn't just apart on his imagination it had to be real. Craig kneeled down.
"What's the matter little girl"
"I want my daddy" The little girl cried
"Well who's your daddy?"
"You" The little girl answered
"What?" Craig asked in complete shock
Before the girl could answer she faded away. Could Craig have been going Crazy? Or was he really seeing this little girl? Craig didn't know what to think but he knew he couldn't tell anyone about it.
*End of Flashback*
Craig looked away from the street trying to hold back tears. He decided to walk to the store and get some milk Christine asked for.
Craig decided to cut through the park it though it was longer he still gave him some time to think and take in the fresh while he got to watch little run around the park smiling something he rarely got to do since he became a so called "Famous photographer" all his wife wanted to do was drive around.
As Craig deepened into the park the kids grew less until there was just one little girl by herself with a little dog crying the odd thing was she looked like that little girl he saw four years ago.
Craig thought to himself just to walk away but something about this girl seemed very real and he couldn't just leave her. So he walked over to the little girl and kneeled down beside her.
"Hey little girl what's the matter"
The little girl didn't answer she just stepped back a step or two.
"I'm not going to hurt you I just want to know what's wrong" Craig said moving a step closer
The little girl looked into his eyes and saw a Kind of sincerity ignoring the fact that he dog didn't obviously like him from all the barking he was doing she answered.
"I can't find my mommy" The little girl answered
"Well how did you lose her?"
"Me and My mommy was walking to my Uncle Michael's house when Tiger started running after this car and I chased after him and now I lost my mommy"
"How old are you" Craig asked looking at the dog which looked so what familiar
"Four in a half"
"Do you know where your Uncle lives maybe I can take you there"
"No this is my first time here me and mommy don't live here we live far away besides I'm not suppose to talk or go anyway with strangers"
"Well how about I introduce myself and you introduce yourself then I won't be a stranger and you won't be a stranger"
The little girl nodded in approval and waited for Craig to start.
"Well my name is Craig Manning"
"My name is Julia Maria S..
"Julie!! Julie!!" A frantic young woman looking around the age of nineteen or so definitely of the Hispanic background with long black silk hair with red streaks down to her mid-back, wearing Levis jeans and a Black leather Jacket came running over
The Young woman who was crying ran over to the little girl and held her tight. Realizing there was a man there she pulled away.
"Julie didn't I tell you about talking to Strangers
"Mommy he's not a stranger his name is Craig Man.Um." Julia said forgetting his last name
"Craig Manning" Craig said holding out his hand
The woman looked up and was taken back by the name she hadn't heard that name in years.
"Well Craig Manning where did you think you were doing with my daughter"
"Oh No I know what you're thinking you have it all wrong I was just trying to find out what was wrong with her"
"Well okay thank you but now me and Julia have to get going"
"Well I know you don't know me but I have a step-son her age and he's kind of short on friends and I would think since the same goes for her since she said you guys aren't from around here well basically what I'm asking is would like to meet my wife and step-son"
"I don't think that would be a.."
"Please Mommy, Please I like Mister Craig"
"Julie we're really busy today remember we're going house shopping today"
"That's perfect my wife is a real estate agent she can find you the perfect house"
"What's a real state mommy?" Julia asked looking up at her mom
"A real estate sweetheart is a person who helps people find homes" She said not looking away from Craig
"So she's going to help us find a new house"
"Honey I didn't say..."
"Please, pretty please with cherries on top"
"She really wants to come" Craig said hoping she would say yes
The woman just stood there looking as those she was going to turn him down when she didn't the most familiar smile he had ever seen.
"Okay we'll come I'm telling you, your just like Joey" The woman said letting it slip out
"How do you know Joey" Craig said finding her more and more familiar
"Um. he tried to sell me a car I told him I'll think about it why you know him" She answered trying to cover her tracks
"Yeah he's my step-father"
"Oh I knew there had to be some relation"
"I'm sorry but do I know you from somewhere you look so familiar"
"I don't think so"
"Well what's your name maybe I can remember you by name"
The woman paused trying to think of a name she could think of.
"My name is Christian Santos"
"Mommy, I thought."
"Not now Julie let's go"
"Okay, Mommy"
As they started walking the woman became confused of why he was passionate about her coming.
"Excuse me If you don't mind me asking why you are being so.. So well demanding that we come"
"Well like I said you remind me of this girl I use to know"
"What's her name" Christian asked knowing already what he was going to say
"Manny Santos but she's gone"
"Oh I kind of thought you were going to say that cute girl I saw with that Joey guy I think she said her name was.."
"Angie her name's Angie she's my ten year old sister"
"Yeah that's her name"
"That's what's even crazier no one ever looked so much like Angie except for Manny and My mom and both of them are gone just in two different ways"
"Listen I'm sorry if I'm bringing back bad memories I can just go"
"No, No I'm sorry for telling you my life story and I hardly know you"
"It's okay"
Christian smiled at him and bent down and picked up her daughter grabbing the leash away from here.
