Memories

~4~

  ~ c'è sempre qualcosa di speciale dentro di te ~

" Mom, Dad, they called you." I said all excited for them to see grandpa. Gabriele was staying there just in case they wanted to mention something about Grandma being in Italy.

" REALLY." you could hear my mom scream that from miles away. By the time we got in the room, my mom was crying with tears of joy. Rutus had to transform into a nurse and make up a story. " I was told that he lost his memory and saw himself as someone else, he must've found ways to get help and ended up here." she said hesitantly.

" This is a Miracle," dad said with joy.

" Isn't this wonderful?"

" Yes." No

" Doesn't it warm you up inside?"

" Yes." no

Can't they see this is an emergency. He would ask where grandma is and would fly all the way to Italy to get more sick and heartbroken.

Grandma seriously hates him, which might make things even worse.

" Where is she?" Grandpa asked once again.

" Oh, he must be tired," Gabriele said as he shooed us out once again.

I took out the reading glass and stared down at it. I couldn't wait to go home, and read what was on the paper.

" Who is 'she'," Mom asked as we drove home, but I kept quiet ( dad was sleeping).

Rutus and Gabriele were invisible.

And out of nowhere mom checked if dad was still sleeping and then said, " Rutus, come out."

WHAT! How did she know?

" - -Rutus - -" when mom said that, it came out with a sharp tone, then Rutus came out with Gabriele.

" Hiii, sisterr," Rutus said slowly, with a little shy grin.

" Hi aunty," Gabriele said after her.

" I'd know those green eyes from anywhere." mom said.

She gave us all a sharp glance in the car mirror. What Gabriele is her 'Nephew'?

And Rutus is her sister, so Rutus is my aunt and Gabriele my cousin.

Mom saw my confusion, she waited for a red light to reach her eyes and took something which seemed to be eye contact. Her brown hazel eyes were now green emerald eyes like Rutus and Gabriele eyes. I gawked at her eyes.

She chuckled at this.Gabriele Laughed, and that's when I remembered again he was my cousin. If he is my cousin and he has green eyes then I must have green eyes too, I was too curious." Do I have green eyes too!?!" I asked stupidly. I was waiting for my mom to say yes. " Well no," Aww come on I wanted to scream why did they have all the good stuff.

Rutus signaled me dad was sleeping ( because of course she can read my mind).

" Of course you don't, you got your Amber eyes from your dad." Rutus added. Well atleast I got eyes.

Yup, it was...

7:30

Yesterday I fell asleep at 10:43 p.m. and woke up. I almost forgot to brush my teeth too, but remembered right before we got out the door, we are now headed to the airport to pick them up.
