I walked in to his house. It looked so beautiful! It was old it it showed that old isn't always bad. It isn't always dusty. That it can shine more than brand new items. "Please have a seat" he asked. I sat down on the couch that was close to the door. "Okay where to start?" He asked. "Maybe you could start with your name. You know mine,but I don't know yours."I said. "Very well. My name is Sam Johnson."he said. "Well Mr. Johnson-". "Call me Sam" he interrupted. "Okay Sam. How do you know me?"I asked. "Oh this part makes me smile. You were roughly 6. I saw you walking into my woods. I really didn't mind,but you were so young and all alone. There are dangerous animals that tend to visit my woods. I took it as my responsibility to get you home safe and sound. When I walked up to you, you started yelling 'stranger danger'. It was hard to get you quiet to tell you my name. You were so cute. You looked just like my granddaughter. You would look at me with your teal eyes just like her. You asked me if I was you Prince Charming. I told you I wasn't but one day you would find him. I ended up talking you into letting me take you home. When I walked you home you would tell me about this boy that you thought was so 'icky' as you put it. The lad's name was Ben I think."he said. "Yeah. That's my boyfriend."I said. "Oh so you did find him?"he asked. "Yeah I think so."I said and blushed. "Well I took you home to your parents and they seemed like they didn't notice you were gone. Your mother was apologizing like she accidentally hurt someone. I gave you to her reassuring it was fine. Now this kept happening. You walking to my woods, but you brought your things and put it in my shack. Every time I brought you back. Your mother didn't like it when I kept bringing you home, so I just offered babysitting you. We would play 'pretty princess' all the time. I was a wizard and you were the princess. We always played. A new adventure every day. I was glad I got to babysit you. You brought back memories of my granddaughter."he said.
"May I ask what happened to your granddaughter?"I asked. "Yes, well she died when she was 8. She got cancer and she fought so hard to live. I got to see her right before she died. She said 'papa I don't want to go.' She was so scared. She said she didn't want to leave me. Her and I always spent time together. I told her I didn't want her to go either, but it was her time. And like that she gave up. Her heart stopped and she went cold."a single tear slipping from his eye. "I'm so sorry" I felt bad that I brought back that bad memory. "Don't be. Well when you turned 7 your mom came and told me they were sending you to boarding school. I saw you one last time. When you left it hurt."he said. What he said was really touching. Too bad I had to go back to boarding school. I wanted to know why my memory of him isn't there.
"Did I ever fall when I was here? Maybe I hit my head?" I asked. "No nothing like that happened. You almost fell a lot"he chuckled" but you never fell. I was with you the whole time you were here. Why would you think that?"he asked. "I don't remember you and I was trying to find a reason."I said. "Don't worry Carly. Sometimes people don't remember their childhood."he said. "Oh I remember my childhood, just not you."I said. "That must be a question for your parents. Now tell me do you still go to boarding school?"he asked. "Yeah why?". "I have a grandson I would like to send there. What do they do for discipline?"he asked. I gave him a questioning look. "My grandson isn't the best well mannered."he said. "Well that is a question for my school. If I knew I would tell you."I said. "You have always been a good kid. I knew you wouldn't get in much trouble. When do you go back to school?"." I'm leaving tonight so I can make sure I get a bunch of supplies that I need. He will get a dorm so you won't be able to see him as much." I said." I know. I will miss him, but he needs to learn."he said." If you would like he can come with me and I can help him get all set up. Do we need to call his mom or dad or you?"I asked." Oh I couldn't let you do that.". "I insist. Plus it would help. He will know me. Then introduce him to some of my friends."I said. "Are you sure?" He asked. "Yeah."I said. "My grandson should be here any minuet. He was getting some more clothes from his parents."he said. Then I heard the roar of an engine. He's here.
