In My Life...Who Am I?

Anna's Point (pt. 2)

I walked into a cold room, it was kinda dark too. As I was careful with my steps I heard a soft voice.

Allan: Anna...

I saw a pale, skinny man lying on the bed. He held out his hand but I couldn't take it just yet.

Allan: I know yer mad, yes I was a jerk back then but I know that it wasn't right, what I put you and your mother through

Anna: she remarried and had another baby

Allan: where is she now?

Anna: she died as well, before she had my baby sister too

Allan: (eyes widen) she's dead?

Anna: yeah, surprised you don't know if you really missed her

Allan: your mother asked me to stay away and I did as told

Anna: you couldn't fight it?

Allan: listen, I was a complete idiot, I know I was, but it was the past, right now I don't need anyone to remind me of that, and I don't want anyone to remember me by that

I crossed my arms as he gave heavy coughs and tears.

"Please dear, he needs you"

I sat down on the chair next to me and took his hand, he looked up at me.

Allan: I hate the fact that I only have a few hours left, I need more time

Anna: you go when you're ready

Allan: I'm not ready at all..

I can tell he was scared, and it was starting to hit me. He saw the tear fall down my face and wiped it off for me.

Allan: please don't cry

Anna: I can't help it

Allan: maybe I'll see your mom

Anna: maybe you will, say hi for me please

Allan: (Chuckles lightly) I will, it means so much that you came here to see me

I was starting to get choked up with emotion so I gave him a tight hug instead. For the next few hours I witnessed him getting weaker but calmer at the same time. I also watched the family members say their last goodbyes, I guess since many people came by today, he really did change into a better person. Finally around 4:30, it was time, he asked me to hold his hand and I did so, going from a warm hand into cold, I whispered "I love you". I don't understand why I keep losing the people I love, its life I guess because they aren't gone completely, I would meet them again...
