It was a cold fall day at East shore middle school. It was 1:23 in the afternoon , 2 minutes till the bell rung. I was slouching on my desk doodling on my reading assignment waiting for the bell to ring. I started thinking about this morning. "Rose, Go away! You can't see my right now. Go please!" She exclaimed with tears in her eyes. "Please. Go my darling. Don't worry about me. I ran down the street as I started to cry. I looked back at her as threw up. She caught my eyes. I blew a kiss to her. Then I looked away and I ran as fast as my feet could carry me. I heard sirens in the distance.
Why, oh why did this have to happen? Why did she have to be the one? Who will welcome me home when I get home? Dad is never home! Uhhhhh, When will I get to see her?WHY? WHY? WHY?
" Rose, Are you alright? You are pounding on your desk so hard. Bling, bling her computer shouted at her. She look at it with sad eyes. You poor child come here and we will talk." "In front of everyone?" I said worriedly. "No, just come up here like I told you. I'd like to talk to you quickly before the bell rings." As I got up from my desk I felt a million eyes staring at me. I walked up the aisle and it felt like I was getting ready for my execution. I didn't want to tell her what happened. It wasn't her business! " Follow me." Mrs. Janet said as she walked into the hallway. I didn't want to but I didn't want the whole class thinking the rich girl was a chicken, so I followed her hopelessly.
We walked down the hall " Oh come here. You want to talk to me? Or do you want to the Counselor Ms. Blueborn? " Mrs. Janet said as I peeked at the clock in the hallway. 15. 14. 13. 12. 11. 10. " I don't know." 9.8. 7. 6. " Well then I'm going to choose myself." 5. 4. 3. " Well, I guess I can keep it to myself. Can you just keep it a secret? That's all I want." I mumbled trying to keep the word little as possible. I didn't want her to feel sorry for me. 2. 1. Ring, ring, ring the bell shouted at me. I pushed the door open as I hurried past everyone as they still stared at me. I got my binder and fast-walked past the statues.
The last 5 minutes of Resource I got up to clean my papers. I heard Ms. Johnson voice say, "Rose can you come here?" Oh, come on now what. I thought. As I approached Ms. Johnson she whispered to me. "You have to run home. Go. NOW!!" I swept my binder and papers up as I sprinted down the hallway. I didn't care if anyone shouted at me. This is worse. I open my locker papers, falling everywhere. I didn't care. I stuffed my purple binder in my purple backpack zipped it up as I ran home. What can I do now? Nothing. No one to drive me to the hospital. No one. I wanted to cry but I was in middle school now. Older. Better. More mature. Not a cry baby. My lungs were going to burst. I didn't care. I kept running. I had to. I didn't know what was going to happen but I still sprinted as fast as I could.
As I got to my mansion I saw a big white truck with no bed. Not unusual right? But it had a thick red cross on it. Weird. I hopped the 21 steps that went up to my mansion.
As I opened the doors I took off my purple jacket with pink and blue stripes on it. It was super quiet. I sat on my couch as I was thinking what to do. I looked around. I saw a guy eating some chips. Hey, he was looking kind of pale. " Stop eating my chips." " He looked up like he was caught red handed. " What are you doing here" I asked the strange man. Was he a robber? No. He wore a white suit with a the same symbol that the truck had on it. Wonder what that means.
" Uhhh. Ms. Rose I have something to tell you."
" Don't Ms. Rose me young man. Now, why are you here?"
" Sorry Rose. But..."
" But what? Hurry up I don't have all day young man. Come on tell me! Don't stall!"
" Jeez, I'm really super sorry and hate to spoil it but your mom just died 5 minutes ago from the cancer."
That shut me up. I got tears in my eyes but I wiped them away. No tears. Not in front of him. No. no. Can't be true. Who will live me?
Another guy popped out from behind the man. He was crying.
"Rose, I'm sorry. I'm sad too."
He reached out to give me a hug. Why would this man want to give me a hug. "Get away from me!" I pushed him away. "Rose, I'm... your father." Oh. He doesn't look like me. But, you know. I've never seen him before and if he says he's my dad. Ok. He's my dad.
I started crying both sad tears for my mom and happy tears for that I found my dad. Ok, I didn't technically find him but it's sorta like HE found me.
All of a sudden I ran and jumped up on him and gave him a hug . It felt so good. I haven't hugged anyone in a long time. Then I cuddled on his shoulder as he carried me to my room. "Hey, I know this is devastating but you have to deal with it." He said calmly to me "I know. But it is hard." I said as I picked up Daisy. " You know what I did when my mom died?" He whispered to me as he patted her" What?" " My dad gave me some advice and I remember it now too. It was when one door closes another door always opens. He also gave me this: Just remember that your mom is always with you always looking over you, Always making sure you don't get hurt."
I looked out the window at this and I saw a rainbow.Right then, I knew that it would be ok. I have my mdad now. Even though I lost my mom I now knew, now I knew, even though everyone will know, I knew that everything would be all right. I looked at the rainbow and smiled ear to ear. I saw my mom's face in the purple section. My favorite color. I love you mom.
