My life

Car accident

After 13 years.....

I am living now in New York with my father. My mom left us both when she decided she couldn't stand my father or me. She left him to marry someone else. Although I know that my father is not my biological father, I still stayed with him. He gave up everything for me to be happy so I owe him at least this.

My father works as a spy.  I don't know exactly what his job ask for..... all what I know for sure is that he is a spy and he told me to not tell anyone about it. As for me, after I graduated I decided to study IT cause I really love computer programming and hacking system.

I decided to go to the coffee shop, my friend Tyler owns. I sometimes go there to help him until he finds another waitress for this job. "hey Tyler...." I said to him walking to him. "how is everything going?? I said and giving him a hug.

"hey babe.....everything is fine except for the fact that I didn't find a suitable person for being a waitress" Tyler said. Every time I come to his shop he says this to me.

"Don't worry I will help you again this time but the next time I come here I expect you to find a waitress ok??" I said to him then walked to the person sitting next to the window to take his order. 

The moment I finished taking his order, three guys enter the shop. One of them smiled to me. They all headed to their table so I went to them to take their order.  "hello what can I get you today??" I said to them. "hello Mandy...." One of them said.

"umm I am sorry but I think you got the wrong person.....my name is Anna" I said to them pointing to my name tag. "no we got exactly the right person.....I am Shane.....don't you remember me??" the same guy said. .

"no I don't remember you because I don't know you.....this is the first time I see you" I said to them really annoyed. If they think this thing here is a good way to flirt with me it is not working. "but I know you....this nickless you are wearing is from your grandfather, he gave you before he dead....." he she to me.....shocked to hear my answer. 

"see this is were you are wrong.....my father gave me this nickless when I was a baby....and for my grandfather  he is alive and in London" I said to him. He shook his head to my answer, he was denying seeing the truth. Well I am sorry buddy but I am not the girl you think I am.

" now if you are ready to order let me know...." I said to him. Shane the guy who spoke to me, got up and left the shop. He was so shocked to notice that he left his friends in the shop. The other two guys excused themselves and left the shop too. Ok this is so weird.

It is now 11:00 pm and I was ready to close the shop and go to my home to sleep. I swear this job will kill me someday. I arrived home and saw a small note on the refrigerator.

"hi sweaty.....my job required for me to go to Russia.....I know I promised you that we will spend all weekend together but this is urgent......you know how being a spy can be a pin in the ass.....I promise you once I come back we will all go to a trip to the mountains.....I will only be gone for 3 days take care of yourself.....

                                                               love your dad"

Great. ...just great....just when I thought that this day can't get any worse. My dad and I were planning this trip for years. He was so busy with his work that we didn't have time to spend it together. I open the fridge and drank water then went to my room to sleep. I was so tired that every single move it hurt. 

The next day I woke up and got ready to go to Tyler's coffee shop, it is weekends and I don't have to go to my work today. I entered the coffee shop and saw Tyler at the casher register looking sad and paranoid. "hey Tyler....is everything ok??"  I asked him going to stand next to him.

"no.....nothing is going great.....i am not only loosing my customers but also my coffee shop if I didn't get a new waitress" Tyler said annoyed from this situation.  "Tyler listen......you are my best friend so I can't watch you loose your job on this stupid thing so I decided......I want to be your new waitress" I said to him.

"wait what about your job.....I can't let you quit on the job you loved the most" Tyler said. "I actually never wanted this job.....the only reason I choose to study IT is because I wanted to be like my dad a....." I almost forgot that I am not supposed to say that my dad is a spy. "a business man??" Tyler continued. "yeah like a business woman" I said to him. I told everyone that my dad is a business man so I won't blow his cover as a super spy.

Tyler agreed to have me as a new waitress so this should be interesting ( note the sarcasm). In the afternoon, while I was taking someone's order, the same three guys who come yesterday, came to the shop. I headed to their table to take their order. " hello what can I get you today??"  I said bringing my paper and pen out of my pocket.

"can we talk....it is very important" Shane said I recognized him from yesterday. " listen if it was the same talk as yesterday I am sorry but I am really not the person you think I am"  I said to him annoyed. "please....just for 5 minutes" he begged.

"fine I will finish my shift today at 7:00 pm so I will meet up with you in the Maple coffee shop and we can talk there.....but I will not stay for a long time" I said to him. " ok I promised it won't take long" he said then exit the shop.

It is now 7:00 pm and I just finished my work so I decided to go to the Maple shop to see Shane. I just hope it is as important as he says it is because I really don't want to waste my time with those kinds of people.  I arrived to the shop and saw him sitting at the end of the shop. I came to him and sat down on the opposite side of him. "so what is the important thing you want to tell me." I said to him.

The moment he wanted to start talking the waitress came to take our order. " hi sir...miss what can  I get you ??" he said. "umm no thank you we will not stay for a long time" I said to him and the waitress left us to talk.

"take this magazine and read it" Shane said. " listen if you thing you can just waste my time with this....." he didn't let me continue instead he told me to just read the magazine. I took the magazine and started to read it.

In the magazine I saw two pictures, one a picture of me and the other one a picture of a car being crashed. " I don't understand this...." I said to him really confused. "you were in a car accident 4 years ago...." He said and I couldn't believe him. " this is not right....i never had a car accident...." I said to him. " yes you did that is why you don't remember me.....when you had that car accident you lost your memory....." he said and I interrupted him before he could continue.

" that is not true....don't you think I would know if I had a car accident or not.....my father would tell me...." I said to him, this time I was angry.  " your father lied to you...." He said. " no my father would never lied to me......beside how can I trust you.....who says you are not tricking me right now into thinking my dad is the bad guy here....." I said to him really angry.

" if you told believe me ask your father.....in fact ask anyone you know and they will tell you the same thing I told you" he said. " I really don't want to hurt you....i am your friend not your enemy" he finished and excused himself before leaving.

I just sat their shocked to what I just heard. My father would never lied to me he loves me so much that he would never want to hurt me.  I took the magazine with me and went straight to my house.

I research about this car accident and it was true....I did had a car accident 4 years ago but why would my father hide away this thing from me. I don't even remember that I was in the hospital. How bad was it that I don't remember a thing. Dad is coming tomorrow so I will let him tell me the truth; I am positive that he won't lie. One thing that is bothering me: why am I in a magazine?? Am I somehow famous at something??

I woke up the next day getting  to go to Tyler's house. i need to find out if he knows anything about the car accident. I found my dad downstairs fixing for us breakfast. "hey sweetheart......now I know you are angry because of this trip but I....."  I interrupted him by throwing the magazine to his face. " is this true?? Did I have a car accident??"......
