I saw a Cardinal sitting on the windowsill. I read somewhere that a
cardinal represents a dead female family member. I smiled as I walked to
the window and opened it. The cardinal didn't fly away. I bent down to it.
"I'm okay mom. Don't worry about me. Go be in peace and happiness. I love you," I said
The cardinal chirped and flew away. I smiled and went to take a shower. I then got ready for school. I was about to head out the door, but the phone rang. I was going to answer it, but I noticed I was running late. So I let the answering machine get it. I ran to school and got there just in time. I headed to my 3 classes and then Mikey picked me up to go to the Pearl Jam concert. I called Dad when I got there to remind him of where I was. The concert was too cool. My favorite song was "Once". Mikey surprised me by getting backstage passes and we met the band. We got pictures with them and everything. We were now in the car heading back.
"Thank you Bro for everything. I had a wonderful time. You made me forget about all my problems."
"No problem sis."
After a few minutes, he spoke.
"By problems did you mean dad?"
"Yea. Its been bothering me lately. I mean...I don't know. Looking into the mirror everyday is so hard. I have his eyes and my mom killed herself because I have his eyes. Its horrible."
"Sis, I know it's hard. I mean look at my eyes too. I have yours and dads eyes. I felt the same way you do."
"How did you get past it?"
"Well when I look in a mirror I look everywhere, but my eyes. I concentrate on my hair."
"I guess I will have to try that"
"It works it just takes time"
"Thanks bro"
"No problem"
Mikey dropped me off at home. It was 10 o'clock at night. Dad was watching TV. I told him about everything that happened and then I went to bed. About 11 o'clock, dad woke me up.
"What's wrong" I yawned
"Jeff's on the phone. He really wants to talk to you"
"Okay" I yawned.
I slowly got up and dragged myself to the phone.
"Hello" I yawned again.
By now I was really tired. It was hard keeping my eyes open, but I managed.
"Hey babygurl."
"Hi Jeffy"
"You sound tired."
"Well I was sleeping," I laughed
"Awe poor baby. Did I wake you?" Jeff laughed
"Yea you did and I was having a good dream about you"
"Isn't that sweet. So what did you do yesterday and today?"
"Yesterday, Mikey and I went shopping for Prom and today we went to a Pearl Jam concert and we went backstage and hung out with everyone"
"You did? Did you have fun?"
"It was a blast."
"So when is prom?"
"Tomorrow, Mikey and I are going there and then go out to eat"
"Sounds like fun. You are going to look so beautiful, I know it."
"I wish you could take me, but I know you can't. "
"I wish I were there too"
"I will save the last dance for you when you come back"
"I look forward to it"
"Where's my big brother?"
"Matt broke his nose today, so he is kind of sleeping right now"
"Oh my god, is he ok?"
"He's in some pain, but he'll live"
"No I won't" I heard Matt say.
I chuckled as I heard Matt snatch the phone away from Jeff.
"Sis don't believe him. I'm dying."
"You are not," I laughed
"But it hurts"
I could tell Matt was pouting.
"Awe my poor brother. If I was there I would kiss your nose to make it all better" I said.
"That would make it feel better."
"I know what could be a temporary solution"
"What?"
"Give the phone to Jeff and you'll find out."
"Okay sis"
"Hey babygurl" Jeff said
"Hey do me a favor. Kiss Matt's nose and tell him it's from me," I laughed
"Will do. Now go back to bed and have sweet dreams."
"I will. Love you baby"
"Love you too. Nite"
I hung up the phone and went to bed. The next morning was Saturday and I got up early because I had a million things to do. I had to do my hair and make up, had to eat and get dressed. So first I went downstairs to eat breakfast. Dad was there and smiled when he saw me.
"Hi dad"
"Hey sweetie. Want me to make you some eggs and bacon?"
"No, I'll just make a bowl of cereal"
I went to the cubard and got out some cookie crisp. After eating, I went and took a shower. I then did my hair in make-up which took like forever to do. I then went into my room and put on my dress. It was all coming together. I put on my shoes and grabbed my purse.
"Patience, Mikey's here" Dad yelled up the stairs.
I walked out the door and to the stairs. Mikey and Dad looked up and smiled big. To dad, I was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. To Mikey, he was proud to have me as a sister. I walked down the stairs and at the end, I hugged Mikey.
"You're beautiful sis." Mikey said as he put on my crasage.
"Thank you" I smiled.
After dad took lots of pictures, we hugged. Mikey then took my hand and took me to the limo. The limo took us to the prom. We had so much fun. It was about 12 a.m and we were hungry, so we went to a italian resterant. We talked and ate. It was a great night. After a kiss on the cheek and a goodbye. I went into the house. Dad was asleep on the couch. I slipped a pillow under his head and put a blanket on him. I headed off to bed. The next morning I woke up and headed down stairs. I yawned on my way down the stairs.
"Long night?" My dad said with a smile.
"Long, but nice"
I laid down on hte couch, my head in my dad's lap. He stroked my hair.
"You know, you could have woken me up last night."
"You looked so peaceful, I didn't wanna wake you"
The phone then rang. Dad answered it.
"Hello?" My dad answered
"Hey dad" Jeff said
"Hello Jeffrey"
"Is my girl there?"
"Hmm...let me check and see" He smiled down at me."Nope your girl isn't here"
I laughed and grabbed the phone. Dad got up and went to go make breakfast.
"Jeffy" I said
"Hi babygurl"
"I miss you"
"I miss you too. How was prom?"
"It was so much fun, but now my feet hurt from dancing so much"
"If I was there I would rub them for you"He laughed
"If you were here, I would make out with you."
"You would huh?" Jeff laughed.
"Yes I would. How's Matt's nose doing?"
"Its okay. I kissed it for you like you wanted me too and he pushed me and hit my arm."
"Awe my poor Jeffy"I laughed
"Yea, it hurt"
"I bet it did. Well listen I got to go get ready for work."
"Okay. You be care you hear?"
"Yes sir. Love you" I said.
"Love you too. Bye"
I hung up the phone. I then got showered and dressed for work. I did a few jumps and then went home. I then watched the crocidile movie for the millionth time. Then I went to bed. Suddenly, I was awoken by a...........................
