Finally Free

part 2: mystery of myself

Miracles pov

I felt a hand shake my shoulder to wake me up and when I opened my eyes I saw a little girl in my face she looked to be about 3 years old she had the most prettiest blue eyes that speak of Innocence and purity.

We talked for a little bit then when they left it started to rain so I curled up until a ball on the bench and slept again but this time I had a nightmare of that night the night my father murdered my mother

Yelling

Is all I heard when I got home that night from my best friend Abigail's house

Screaming

Is all I heard when I shut the door and then there was

Silence

I walked into the living room and saw my mother on the floor in her own puddle of blood and my father's standing above her with a sharp knife in his hand and blood dripping off of it

And then I screamed and tried to run out the door but my father was too fast and caught me before I could open the front door

"Don't hurt me father I'm sorry." I said

And before I knew it the cops were here and I had the knife in my hand before I could blink and my father was beside my mother crying fake tears and pointed at me and said, "you monster what have you done why would you kill your own mother."

"I-i didn't I'm sorry father please don't let them take me for false accusations please I'm innocent." I screamed while the cops were taking me to the back of the car with cuffs on my hands and I looked right at my father with fear in my eyes scared of what was going to happen next. The worst part was he had a hidden smirk on his face.

I woke up and saw it was sunrise and the rain had stopped so I walked to the cafe and found it was open and when I walked in the manager was sitting in one of the booths when she saw me she waved me over and I went and sat on the other side in front of her all she wanted to tell me was that I was starting today and I said, "thank you."

Before i got up to start work she held my arm and asked "why are you all wet."

" because I slept in the park I have nowhere to go and i just got out of jail yesterday I am 18 years old and never finished high school because my father accused me of murdering my mother." I said to her and she hugged me and said that she has an apartment above this cafe that nobody uses and said I could use it.

"Thank you, when do I get my first paycheck so i can go by a couple of outfits? I have nothing of my own because I never had a home after my father did what he did." I told her

"I'll let you use some of my daughter's clothes for now you get payed every Friday." She said.

While I was working the little girl that came over to me on the bench yesterday and we sat and talked for a little while and I taught her how to play a couple keys on the piano

Then it was time to close the cafe and go home for the day which is the apartment the manager said I could stay in.

The next day...

I was standing behind the counter waiting for costumers to enter the cafe and while I was waiting I started humming my favorite song while drawing
Then I hear the bell chime on the door meaning someone came in so I look up and see the little girl and her dad.

"What can I get ya both today?" With my slight country accent that peaks out when I'm happy and a smile.

"Actually my daughter wants to ask you something." He says with a slight smile.

"What's wrong sweetie?" I asked a little worried.

"Will you go on a date with my daddy?" She asks in that baby voice of hers.

I look at her wide eyed and then my eyes soften a little at how adorable she looks.

"If your dad asks properly then maybe I'll give him an answer." I say while looking up at him with a smile and my eyes shining brightly.

He clears his throat and asked with a slight smile.

"Will you go on a date with me miracle?" And he gives me the puppy eyes which were adorable like father like daughter.

I laugh a little "yes I would love to but maybe after I get off of work." I say with a smile and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey! What about me?" Amara says.

We both laughed and gave her a kiss on both her cheeks.

When i got off of work I went up to my apartment and changed into an outfit that the managers daughter gave me, when I went downstairs they both were waiting for me and we went to a restaurant that had some delicious food.

We talked for a little while and ate some food and then we went and had some ice cream with his daughter and it was the best day of my life I hope there's more days like these that are yet to come

To be continued...

I decided that I'd update whenever I want to so it'll be a surprise for another chapter of my book to be written but I'll still be updating every Friday
Thank you...🙂🙂🙂
