Gazing upon a star

Chapter 11: Gemma's text (featuring Carson)

*beep beep, beep* my phone jumped and beeped loudly. "It's from Gemma!" I sit up straight on my bed and looked at my phone. "At the airport. Waiting for dad!" She snapped a selfie of her. I looked at her auntie besides her. She seems worried. 'Will her dad come??' I thought. Just then she sent another message. " I NEED YOUR SUPPORT, COME QUICK." I gasped. Gemma? It's her that sent it?? I quickly called her and she answered. "Hey Carson." A weakly voice came from her. "Gemma! I'll go to the airport right now. Wait for me." I put on my jacket and shoes,then ran out the door. I got on a taxi. "To airport, please." The driver didn't talk much, so I just rode in silence.

The taxi got to the airport. "Thanks," I said, paid the driver, and searched for Gemma and her auntie.
I see them at a corner.
They are talking with a strange man that kind of resembles Gemma. 'Is that his father?' I thought. "Carson?!" Gemma saw me and walked towards me. She has tears on her face. "Gemma! What happened?!?!" I grabbed tissue from my pocket, and wiped her face. "Dad... Doesn't remember me..." She whispered. Her voice was soft and this time, tears flowed out her eyes like they were waterfall. "Take me back... I don't want to ride with auntie." "What?! Gemma, you HAVE to ride home with us... It's not that I don't trust Carson, but at least you have to meet your dad." Auntie said. "I already met him!! He doesn't even remember me." She yelled as she grabbed my hand and we walked towards the airport's entrance.

We got on a taxi.
She cried silently while we were riding back to our neighborhood. "It's okay, Gemma. Your dad will surely remember you when he's all ready." I comforted her. Gemma doesn't reply, so I think she's sleeping. Soon, her tired body is leaning against me. I watched her as she sleeps soundly. "Goodnight, Gemma." I kissed her forehead and realize that it wasn't very good to kiss her forehead without asking.. I blushed all the way to home.

"Bye, Carson." She said. "Bye." I answered. "By the way, I know you kissed my forehead." Gemma said as she blushed. "O..oh!" I blushed too. "Don't worry. I know you were just trying to comfort me. You were very gentle. Thank you." As soon as she said that, she ran to her house and waved. "Bye!" I yelled, then also ran into my house.
