Chapter 5: The Death That I could forget
"I was six, and I had a wonderful life, full of laughter and hugging and such." I started to say, "and I thought everything was okay. Until I found one day my mother went to the store…"
"And she never came back?" he guessed.
"Yeah, but it's kinda a long story. Well not really."
"Okay, proceed."
"Well like I was saying she went to the store. She had to get some eggs or something. Well I went down stares to ask my dad when she'd come home and he said, "she'll be back in a few honey, she's just getting food for school and dinner and I know you, you don't wanna starve." He said, I smiled and walked away up stares.
I stared at my clock and it said 4:30 and she left at 3:30, I was a math wiz then and I knew that she was gone for an hour. So I started to worry. Then we got a phone call and I heard my dad yell crying. And he hung the phone up with a smash.
He told me everything, not even as if I was a child, as if I was a grown woman. "Bella, I have- I have to tell you something. The sheriff called and told me that there was an armed robbery at the super market and your mother was one of the victims. She didn't want to hand them over her credit card, for the sake of you, so they shot her seven times and well of course…. She died Bella. I know you can understand this." He said trying not to cry to hard.
"Daddy, its okay, you can cry all you want. And I understand." I said and started to cry. "I'm gonna miss her daddy." I said and buried my head into his chest.
"Hun, the police men killed him, so at least he paid the price." He looked into my eyes and heeled me tight."
We were silent for a while, and I didn't even cry much at retelling the story. He sat closer to me and I did to. I could fell the oldness of his skin even when he didn't touch me. I turned to look at him and he did to. We drew out faces closer and our lips touched, just a short innocent kiss.
"I have to leave." He said and jumped out the window before I could say goodbye.
