5 years later

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!! Your Now officially a grown up. Thanks every body.
"Your Mom would've thought so to" said Gabby, tears started gathering in my eyes , grandma gave me a tissue, while her nose was red too. I think I know why.
"it's gonna be ok granny" .
"Come on everybody lets get this party started!!! Whoooooo! Everyone started dancing but me. Because. I started thinking, that's the part I hate about death you will never see them again, come on Laura, everything will be fine, said Gabby, she grabbed me by the hand. And pulled me to the dance floor. It hurt but I was fine, I was still thinking, I have nobody, I live with my granny. But she's very old, and she's going to die soon. Then what. Where will I go, suicide. No that's not an option, I'm going to find my father. " hey Gabby, remember when we were thirteen and you told me when we turn 18 that you were going to help me find my dad". "Yeah what about it" said Gabby, well I want to find my dad and I need you to come with me. "I don't know-"
"I know you think this is crazy but I don't have any family, you know my grandmas going to die soon......please"my eyes started to tear up again.
"I don't know Laura,you barely know him" said Gabby
"Well I have memories, not many, but some". Like when I was 8 my dad used to pick me up and throw me up in the air and catch me, like I was a child with a baby doll. "
But that's what your mom told you. Do you think she was telling the truth".
"I don't know" I said. But I can't tell her now. Gabby rubbed my back and said
"its going to be ok you'll see her soon". I don't think that everybody is going to go to heaven, just if there good. But I'm not going to tell Gabby that she's very religious.
"So will you do it"i said that in a really desperate voice.
"Fine" but on one condition, "you have to dance, it's your birthday party"
She pulled me again to the dance really hard, that time it hurt really badly.

The next morning I woke up and started crying like i always do, ever since My mom died. I know i shouldn't be because, I never had a relationship with her but, every girl wants a mom to tell her that her outfit is to skanky and your wearing too much make up. Even though it annoys the crap out of you. I remember how our family used to be, my mom was still sick but she still dpent time with and cooked dinner, and chased me around the house, with my dad. But ever since my dad left she always stayed home from work and we could barely pay the bills i had to work as a caddy and and barely pay the bills myself. I remember the last time they fought, they were in the bathroom screaming at each other. I heard one line and knew that he was leaving the line was "I can't take care of you anymore, I've tried my best" i started crying and my granny didn't  live with us but she had a key, I was so happy she came in, and comforted me while i was crying. She ran to me and higged me and looked at the door, I was staring at. She took me to the other room and I still could here a little bit of what they were saying but I couldn't say it out. Finally, fell a sleep, in the middle of the night i woke up to some more screaming, i heard a car door shut, I looked out my window,  and saw my dad moving away, in his car. I never saw him again. BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!whoa what was that I heard someone banging on my door, I couldn't believe who it was, it was my brother Jim!!
