Layla

I was watching TV and trying to remember the people my mommy said I could say wit and I thought about my dad I don't even know my dad but I see him in pictures but I don't remember him. The nurse came in and I asked "if I could make a phone call?" She said "yeah" and she told me how to use the phone on the bedside table next to me. She said to press 6 first to call outside numbers. I picked up the phone and pressed 6 then I asked for the operator for Michael Vick's number. The operator said there are 400 Michael Vick's in nice. I'm looking for a Michael Vick in Philadelphia he play's for the Philadelphia eagles and then the operator said I found a match would you like me to collect them to you" yes please and I heard the ringing sound and I waited for someone to pick up and this lady picked up the phone and I said "my name is Layla and I was calling to talk to my dad Michael Vick please". She said "Layla it's so good to hear from you" she said "Oh hi can I talk to Mr. Michael please" I said again. "Okay he's right here" she said and I heard some shuffling around and a deep voice was on the phone, "hello who's this I took a deep breath and said "my name is Layla and I'm your daughter and I just been shot and my mommy was shot too but she died and I was just calling you to see if I can come live with you since I have no where else to go" I just blurted it all out. There was silence on the other end "hello are you still there?" I asked as he cleared his throat and said "yes I'm still here, Layla where are you?" He said "at the NYC hospital in Manhattan" I said "alright I'll be there as soon as I can bye" he said "bye" and we hung about the phone. Wow! I wasn't expecting that he sounded like he really missed me and he was shocked to hear from me I wondered why mom wasn't with him. It always seemed like she was hiding we never stayed in one place to long I remembered the necklace I had I got off the bed and looked in the bag filled with my clothes that I came in with. I checked my pants pocket and it was in there a little small locket that was meant for a baby. I've always took this with me everywhere I went it was my good luck charm it was probably the reason why I was still here after being shot so close to my heart. I remember one time I was walking home from school in the fifth grade and I forgot my locket at home and this girl named lily didn't like me so her and her friends followed me home and jumped me and I had a black eye and a busted lip. Went home and my mom asked what happen I told her that I wanted to go to the school and I convinced her no and my bruises healed overnight. So I went back to school the next day and I saw the three girls that jumped me and I beat them all up by myself and I patted my pocket with my locket that was inside and whispered to it thanks good luck charm and since then I never leave home without it. I opened it and there was a picture of me and my dad when I was little with an engraving on it said no matter where you are I'll always be with you love dad.
