A/N Um sorry for the lack of
update, I am alive and slowly getting things done. I have a life and
that life involves computer once or twice a week, but swimming is
almost over so that will raise highly! Since no one likes this story,
I have no care to care for it very much, so its sappy, slow, dull,
and typical. I didn't take long on this and I don't care if you
review, it would be nice if you do, but reviews will be bad for this
so I don't really care!
On with thine story...
"Grandfather! No... please!" The two others left watching us were struck with surprise. Apparently no one knew of Grandfather's son, daughter-in-law, and me.
Grandfather closed his eyes and took a long, deep breath. And slowly he opened his eyes and looked deeply into my own. He sighed and I wondered if he gave in to my wish like so many times before. But I was mistaken.
Scott came in a placed the phone into his waiting hand. I raised me eyes and glared at him with such anger one should not possess. In turn he returned to me, sadness. Slowly he dialed the number so familiar to me, but yet so distant. I could not hear the voice on the other line, but when my Grandfather spoke the tears I had held in for so long slowly started to fall one after one down my cheek.
"Hello Elli, how are you my dear?" And he listened carefully to every word this Elli said to him. "Is your daddy there, sweetheart? ... He is, well could you let me speak with him? ... Thank you... I love you too."
The four of us, Jean, Ororo, Scott, and me, listed to him talking, all of us wondering whom this Elli was, but deep inside I figured my parents had moved on.
"Daniel? ... Yes, how are you? ... That's good... I'm fine... How are Victoria and the children? ... Yes, I agree, such wonderful news, Elli is such a brilliant girl, how is Eliza? Pause Danny? Hello? Pause were you ever planning on telling me that my granddaughter ran away? ... How do I know? ... Eliza is with me, my student found her... I don't believe she wishes to speak with you... You let her leave, I will not let you speak with her, now tell Daniel, what made you forget about her and never search... very well then... good bye."
I watched my grandfather with big eyes and wonder. Forgotten were my tear stained cheeks and the anger I directed at him earlier. He turned towards me, and bickered me into his arms. I ran into his awaiting arms and he held me as if I were 8-years-old once again.
"I am so sorry, my dear."
I snuggled my head into his shoulder deeper and shook my head. I did not need his apology; I did not anything from him, or anyone else. Yet some how it seemed that what I truly needed was not what I wanted to be true.
Scott, Ororo, and Jean quietly left us alone. And only inside did I smile, because I was with my grandfather again. Grandfather lifted my chin with his finger and rubbed away my tears with his finger.
"My dear, you look so much more beautiful when you are happy."
And just for him I lifted up my lips just slightly, fore a smile seemed so foreign I could not succeed in making one. But to Grandfather it was a smile and he laughed lovingly at me.
"See, you shine so brightly when you're not frowning!"
My lips were pulled into a smile, something that ached my cheeks so much, but there was happiness along with the unfamiliar feature. And slowly a grin spread across my face.
"I knew there was something you were hiding, and I all but wondered why would you hide from me, you're dear old grandfather?"
"I wasn't hiding just from you."
"I know, my dear, you were hiding from the world." I started at him in question and he laughed slightly again before answering the unasked. "I read minds, remember Eliza?"
If possible my smile grew. "I remember well Grandfather, that's how you always won at cards. You cheated!"
"I did not cheat, I used my own power and skill to win."
"Well I could win against you any day now... without cheating!"
"Yes we will have to test that theory someday soon."
A streak of silence struck and gradually my smile faded and my lips returned to their line. And Grandfather looked so much older than I once remembered him to be.
"Will you stay?"
I could not find the answer, but unbeknownst I nodded my head and Grandfather wrapped me in a weak embrace. I too put my arms around him as if I were hanging on to him for my life, and maybe in some way I was.
A/N: See told ya. Review if ya want to; don't review if don't you want to. Whatever! Laterz!
