Chapter 4: Watching Allie
On the way to Emmanuelle's sister house, Double D was driving there. Emmanuelle was looking at the window. She was thinking about the person she didn't really know, that was her mother. Her mother died when she was younger I think around six, then the car stopped and Emmanuelle saw why.
"You okay?" asked Double D
"I'm okay, I was thinking about something"
"What were you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about my mom"
"I know she would be very proud of you"
"In what way?"
"Your grades, you success, and the fact that you have a outstanding voice"
"Anything else?"
"And the fact you became a beautiful young lady"
Emmanuelle kissed Double D. Then the traffic light turned green and they went to Traci. When they got there Traci's husband Joey was watching outside.
"Joe what are you doing outside?" asked Emmanuelle
"Your sister was arguing with me and I decide to go outside and watch for you and Double D"
"I'll talk to Traci" said Emmanuelle.
"I'll stay here with Joey," said Double D
Inside Allie was sleeping on the coach and Traci was in the bathroom crying, Emmanuelle decide to knock on the door to see if she alright
"Traci it's me Em"
"Em I wish I haven't married him"
"c'mon you made the right decision beside becoming pregnant at 17 and that's it"
"But I want to go to college I want to change my life"
"You can still do that. Dad always told me you can take a chance in anything"
"He never told me that"
" You never listened"
Traci came out of the bathroom and she looked at Emmanuelle.
"Sometimes I wished I had your life"
"Why?"
"Because you have the greatest senior year, a cute boyfriend, a band and awesome friends"
"Please don't start this ok on with Joey okay?"
"Okay"
A half hour later Joey and Traci lifted and Double and Emmanuelle were playing with Allie
"Is Traci okay?" asked Double D
"She'll be okay"
"Auntie Em, can you sing me to sleep?" asked Allie
"Sure"
Emmanuelle put on Allie pj and Double D was watching for Emmanuelle and Allie.
"I have a song for you Allie"
"Please sing it"
And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
Until you've seen this trash can dreams come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord
There's people out there like you
I thank the Lord
There's people out there like you
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
This Broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tune I might join in
Oh, and go my way alone
Grow my own
My own seeds shall be sown in New York City
Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord
For the people I have found
I thank the Lord
For the people I have found
Oh
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
Until you've seen this trash can dreams come true and
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord
There's people out there like you, yeah
I thank the Lord
There's people there like you, oh
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
They know not if it's dark outside or light
Allie was asleep after she sang the song and Traci and Joey were home. In the car Double D was so impressed
"Double D are you okay?"
"Yes I am ok, I very happy that you'll do anything for other person"
"She isn't any person she'll my niece"
