Chapter 7

It was Friday morning and Giovannie just got onto the bus and left. I sighed and put on my paint ruined jeans and holey T-shirt and then I went into the kitchen and found the garden gloves hidden away in the third draw under the counter. I walked outside to a cool morning. I grabbed a several plants and read the tags that were staked in the pot Some of plants needed shade and others like full sun. I set to work, I grabbed the hand shovel and started digging in areas and clearing away weeds and grass. It was several hours when I was completely done. I was hot and sweaty, my shirt was off and I had a light sunburn on my back.

I grabbed hose and turned on the faucet, since I didn’t have a nozzle I placed my thumb firmly over the hole and made the water shoot out instead of spilling out. I watered all of the planted plants and after I was done I let my thumb go and turned the spilling water toward me and I doused myself with the chilly water, wiping away the dirt and the sweat off my body. My jeans and shoes were soaking wet, but I didn’t care, they were outside clothes. I heard a several honks and I quickly turned off the water and walked around the house and saw that Giovannie’s bus was there letting him go. I checked my watch and it was 1:00 pm.

“What are you doing home so early?” I asked.

“Today is a early out day, we left school early,” Gio said stopping in front of me.

“Oh, okay go head into the house, I’ll meet you around back… close the door,” I said as Gio walked into the house.

I felt that someone was watching me and I turned to see Trevor staring at me while Kyle was talking to him. I rolled my eyes and pointed down and looked down to see his brother pouting at him clearly mad. I chuckled and walked aback around closing the back gate. I kicked off my wet shoes and then I unbuttoned my jeans and took it off and placed it over the fence for it to dry. I walked into the house with my boxers on, which were a little wet but the jeans absorbed most of the water. I poked my head out the kitchen door to see Giovannie doing homework before running to my bedroom and I froze when I saw several pictures on the floor broken and Furby with his leg sticking up and he was licking his parts.

“GIOVANNIE!!!!” I hollered.

I heard quick footsteps and felt a sudden breeze.

“What?” he asked a little scared.

“Get that cat out of my bedroom before I throw it out,” I said through gritted teeth.

Giovannie walked quickly ahead, grabbed the cat and left the room quickly. I shook my head and grabbed my fresh clothes and put them on. I heard tingling and poked my head out of my closet to see Giovannie with a dustpan and a broom cleaning up the glass.

“Gio, what are you doing,” I asked walking to him.

“Cleaning up,” he said trying to sweep the glass into the dust pan.

“Here,” I grabbed the broom. “Hold down the dust pan.”

He did what I said and I swept the broken glass into the pan. I grabbed the pan and the broom.

“Put the pictures up for me, while I'll throw these away,” I said and walked into the kitchen and tossed the glass into the garbage. I walked back into my bedroom and saw Giovannie on the bed with a picture in his hands. He looked sad, I knew he was staring at his father. I sighed and sat next to him and looked at the picture.

“Do you miss him,” he asked me.

“Of course, I do miss him. Do you?” I asked.

“Yeah.” there was a long moment. “I had a dream about him.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, he said to take care of you and make sure that you are happy.”

I smiled and kissed the top of his head, “I bet it was a nice dream,” I said.

“It was,” there is a long moment. “Am I a bad boy...” he asked. I opened my mouth to reject his words but he kept going, “I forget dad from time to time.”

“No, hunny, you're not a bad boy for forgetting your father, it just means you accepted his death and started to move on. I am the same way. He is always in our hearts, he will always love us whereever he is. He just want us to be happy.”

Gio hugged me hard and I hugged him back. Gio let go and placed the picture onto the table and left the room. I looked after him and stared at the picture. I smiled and got up and left the room. Gio was in the living room watching Spongebob Squarepants while Furby was sitting on his lap staring out the window.

“Do you want pizza?” I asked.

“Yeah,” he said smiling.

I grabbed the phone and dialed the pizza place.

“Hello, welcome to Papa John's how may I help you,” a female voice said.

“Yes, I would like a medium bacon and cheeze pizza and a medium plain cheese pizza.”

“Alright, that'll be $10.50 and what is your address?”

I told her my address and hung up.

“Pizzas will be here in 25 mins or its free,” I said.

“Pizza late I stay up,” Gio betted.

“Pizza on time, I get to watch whatever I want.”

“Deal,” he said and returned to the TV.

I smiled and cleaned up to perpare for my mother's arrival, so not looking forward to it.

“Dad, do we have construction paper and markers?” Gio asked.

“Yeah, why?”

“I wanna make a welcome card for grandpa and grandma and uncle Shane.”

“Yeah,” I walked and opened the door to a closet, I reached up and pulled down a big wooden box that is filled arts and crafts.

I walked into the living room and set the box down.

“Don't start until after dinner, okay.”

He nodded and the doorbell rang, he was five minutes late.

“I win!!! I get to stay up late!!”

“Yeah, yeah,” I groaned.

I walked to the front door and opened it. There was a young pizza boy holding two boxes of pizza.

“You are late,” I said.

“I know, sorry, here is your free pizza.” The boy looked at me up and down. “Say, wanna go out sometime?” he asked.

I raised my eyebrow, “Sorry, I'm taken,” I said.

The smile became a frown, “Oh, sorry,” he walked away defeated.

I turned and closed the door and walked into the kitchen and placed the boxes on the counter. I opened the bacon and cheese pizza and took out two slices and put them on the plate. I did the same for the cheese pizza and I walked into the dining room and set the pizza on the table. Gio ran up and sat onto the chair and started to eat on his pizza and I did the same. I finished off four slices of pizzas but Giovannie only ate two and half. We are sitting on the couch watching Harry Potter the first movie. I was into the movie, however for Gio he fell asleep thirty mins after his bed time. I smiled and picked him up after I turned off the TV and walked into my bedroom. I placed Gio onto the bed and I slid into the bed on the other side. After a while I felt a gentle thump as Furby jumped onto the bed and amazing curled against my stomach.

God, grant me patience for my family tomorrow. Chris, I miss you and I love you. I prayed and slowly went to sleep.
