As I was walking down the stairs I heard a girl crying I looked around and realized it was in my head. I closed my eyes and sat down on the stairs.
"Go away," I said in my head.
The crying got louder. Now the baby girl was screaming.
A memory came back to me.
In my head I saw when I read about the shooting. It brought back such a terrible memory.
I saw my dad. I was just a little girl. We were in the park. He was chasing me. I was going after my mom. I caught up to her and she grabbed me. I was laughing. My dad was just crossing the street to get to us. As he was walking I heard a loud noise. It hurt my little ears. I screamed and I hid my face in my moms chest.
"Jonathan!!!" my mom yelled.
I turned to see and my dad was dead in the street. A gun had shot him in the head.
"Daddy!!!" I got out of my moms hands and ran to him. There was blood dripping out if his head. He was gone. That's when my heart shut out feelings. They came back when I met Nick. I had lost my dad about seven years ago. Today was the exact day he died. My mom ran to his side too. One moment we were running as a happy family the next I lost my kind, innocent, loving father to a mad man shooting. I heard the girls cried fading. I opens my eyes and saw Marianna and my mom beside me.
"Mom"
"Vanessa"
"Dad died seven years ago on this same day."
I never told Mari this but now she knew.
"I know honey."
My mom never remarried because she knew that pain it would bring me knowing I lost my dad as a little girl. I burst into tears and cried into my moms chest as I did that day he died. Mari hugged me from behind and the three of us sat there on the stairs we thought about the innocent people seven years ago and today killed because if a mad man who only knew to kill.
