Star Wars: Her New Beginning

Chapter 14

ANIKA's POV

Dad and I are in Aunt Analeia's apartment.

"Aunt Analeia don't you think you should give her another chance?" I ask

"No, I don't!" She says raising her voice just a little bit "She was the worst out of all the siblings."

"There were four of them right?" Dad asks

"Yes, there is Raquel, Tommy, Connor, and Samantha." She says

"Your forgetting one, but you never had to deal with him. At least I don't think you did." I say

"Who?" She asks

"Dalton. You never had to deal with Dalton." I say

"I'm sorry you had to though." She says

We stay there talking about Aunt Analeia's adoptive family and how she might want to give Raquel another chance.

"If you had someone treat you like a maid and always be mean to you, you would give them a second chance?" Aunt Analeia questions

Dad and I are silent.

"Exactly." She says

The next day I wake up and I run to the bathroom. I hunch over and end up vomiting. I sit with my back against the wall. I haven't vomited since I was six years old with the flu. I feel horrible. I have a headache, congestion, joint pain, chills, and a dry cough. Considering these are the same symptoms I had when I was six I must have the flu.

I here heavy footsteps coming to my bathroom. A few weeks ago I moved back up to my room. It feels better to be up here again. I hear my door open.

"Anika, are you okay?" Dad asks standing in the bathroom door way.

"No." I say "I'm not. I feel horrible."

"What's wrong?" He asks

I list my symptoms and he agrees that it is most likely the flu.

"I started feeling like this last night." I say

"Hey, what's going on?" Mom asks walking in.

"Anika has the flu." Dad says

I quickly move and vomit in the toilet again. My dad comes and holds my hair back. After I'm done...taking care of...that, I lean back up against the wall.

"Okay, you're not going to the Temple today." Mom says

"Fine." I say "I don't think I could've made it through the day there anyway."

There's a few seconds of silence.

"I'll go get a trash can for you, Anika." Mom says and leaves.

About two minutes later mom comes back with a trash can with a plastic bag in it. She hands me a ponytail holder and I put my hair up. I realize something.

"I'm supposed to meet Ander." I say

My parents look at each other as if they know what was going to happen.

"I'm sorry Anika, but you are going to have to call Ander and reschedule." Dad says

"Dang it." I mumble.

After a few minutes I get the strength to get back in bed.

After my parents leave for the Temple I call Ander and let him know that we need to reschedule. He seems a bit disappointed.

"Well I hope you feel better soon." He says

"Thank you." I say

I smile and hang up.

I feel so bad about doing that. I really wanted to meet up with him. I was going to wear the dress I wore on our first date. A knee length, dark red, chiffon, strapless dress. It's very simple, nothing over the top. I feel horrible about doing this.
