« Almighty Lord, I am thankful for everything that I have. Please make me a better person. I want to become a better person. I have a thought for all the person that are actually suffering please Almighty Lord be with them."
As I was sitting on the bunch I kept praying, praying and praying all over again. At some point I was not listening to the Pastor anymore. I was just talking to my Lord. At some point, I ended my prayer. I started to pay attention to the Pastor and what he was saying was actually interesting. I was looking at my mother who was drinking the words of the Pastor. My heart was heavy but not of pain, of love. The ceremony ended.
It was sunny and I was dancing in my room. Listening to Artic Monkeys. Sadie sent me a message " Picking you up in 10 minutes let's hang out " This girl really like to hang out a lot. Anyway five minutes later I was ready because I'm not the type of girl who take a lot of time to be ready. I do not spend hours to put make up on my face. If I am ugly I do not care because nobody is watching me and if someone is watching me then I dont care if I am not pretty enough to them. At least it's what I believe I think. I'm waiting in front of my house. Sadie is coming smiling.
" Hi love ! I know you are okay so I won't ask. Can we just go to the square ? "
" To the square ? With all those little kids screaming in my ears ?
" Come on, I want to go on swing. We will touch the sky with our feet" She is childish but in the same time mature that's what I love about Sadie. So we were now heading to the square. We are in the end of August and everybody is coming back from holidays.
Sadie starts talking " so I went to this little island... IBIZA ! Jourdan you would have loved it ! I mean it's such an amazing island. People really party a lot, they party like crazy ! They say ummhh Fiesta, fiesta todo el dia, todo la noche. " I smiled " Are they even cute ? " " Of course they are you dumb head, they are so hot you would have date one, I swear " " Did you ?" " Umh... I flirted with some, I'll show you the pics. How were your holidays ? "
" My holidays were cool, I spent a few days in Scotland with my family they love mountains and everything... " " Did you have fun ? " " Well with my little sister screaming each time she saw a beautiful thing that was a bit hard for my ears but if we forget that, that was cool. My dad was here !"
Sadie smiles " YOUR DAD ! JOURDAN DO YOU FUCKING REALIZED ? "
I jumped a bit " He had a permission of two weeks. " I said proudly
" So now he is back to Afghanistan ? "
" He is .... But it was cool seeing him... He was really careful and he was so happy to be with us. I already miss my dad.... "
" I'm sure he will have a permission soon ... "
" Come on we both know that his next permission is in months.... I can say good bye to my idea of spending Christmas with him, unless if we count skyping him as spending Christmas with him..."
" It's still better than having no dad at all.... Mine ran away when he learned about my existence. " Sadie was right ... " I swear when he ll see how amazing you are he will cry about what he missed. "
" I don't care love. "
We were now in the square. The sky is now a bit cloudy. A lot of children are playing . Sadie was screaming " YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ELDERS ! We want the swings so you better get off now !"
The kids all get away and we were now on it, we were laughing at everything and we were trying to reach the sky with our feet. After 10 minutes we started to get bored so we get off the swings. We sat down talking about everything and anything. Sadie lit a cigarette singing Miss Cigarette from Rizzle Kicks. We were looking at the kids playing. Sadie started to dance I don't know why, she put some music on, and we danced she was singing with her cigarette in her hand and all the kids were watching us but we did not care
. Suddenly we heard a little girl she was screaming and crying. So we ran to her Sadie saying " Where are your parents ? " The little girl was only crying. We tried to calm her down, we were looking for her friends, but it seem like she was here on her own?. Sadie told her " Stop crying love, you are a good girl. You are strong. Do not cry. Who is with you here ? "
" Nobody " she screamed. I took her in my arms and asked her " Is mummy home ? " she nodded. So I told Sadie that we were going to take her home. Sadie told her " Sweetie, do you know where is your house ? Show us, ok ? We will carry you home and Mummy will take care of you ? " The little girl was totally like in a total mess, her knee was opened and she was bleeding. She must have fell or something. Anyway we walked like 5 minutes and she pointed a house. We rung.
