Srry for the late update.
----------------------------------------------------

It feels different; i never traveled before.

I dont feel like home, but i like it. I dont like where i acctually belong- no wonder dad fought to get out of there.

I see jake give a sigh of releif as he aas back to his own home sweet home.
We ride a bus to take us back to the airport.

"finally home huh?" i say poking jake playfully in the shoulder.

He keeps quiet- still cant blame him- he is going to loose his father.

I have a feeling that they were so close.

We signed the passports and went to take our suitcases.

After we took everything, we headed out.

"welcome to new york!" said jessica cheerfully trying to lighten the mood but she failed miserably.

We stepped out of the airport and the breeze rushed to our faces.

I look around as i see the sunset giving an orange glow over everything.

The city was lit- full of life and malls.
But i shook the thought away.
We didnt come to go shopping- we came for an emergency.

I take another step front, i already loved the place.

It was really fascinating and amazing that i cant describe it in words.
We ride a taxi and jessica guides the taxi for the way.

I glance at jake who is looking down, sadly at his laps. I poke him and give him a sympathical smile.

He returns a sad smile and we both look front again.
It was awkward silence

"Soo.. are we there yet?" i ask trying to break the thick atmosphere.

epic fail.

We reach the house and jessica opens the door with her key.

I spot the neighbors who were taking care of jake's dad coming out of his room and walking towards us.

We thanked them and rushed to the father's room.

Jake gasped when he saw his father's condition on the bed.

"dad! Are you okay?!" jake exclaimed.

His father shook his head in response. jake buried his head in his fathers chest.

He spotted me then raised his head weakly from the bed to look at me.
I offered him a sad assuring smile in return.

Jake kissed his father's hand and patted it. "dont worry, you will be alright," "i wish" he whispered but i heard it.

I nodded reassuringly at the miserable-looking father.

Tears started rolling down jessica's cheeks as she pressed her lips hard together.

"dont worry, we are going to the hospital right now" she said getting up from beside him and wiping her tears.

I glance at the window as i remember something.

'"look rosetta," my dad had said when i was 2-3 years in a park.

"your mother used to be like one of those shining stars"

I look up at him.
"why was she similaa' to staas?" i ask.

"do you see stars in the night?" i shook my head at his question.
