Miracle

Chapter XI

Sunday Morning

I return home with Dulce, so I could help her with homework and get all my work done for school. Thank god, I did all the house work before I left. My apartment is really small to be honest. By the door, There's a portrait of Dulce and I. Underneath it is a little table, holding a pot plant. The kitchen is completely black, white and grey and it's combination is outstanding. The bench top is marble and it looks beautiful with the rest of the kitchen. Then right in front of the kitchen, There's a table with 5 chairs. It's wooden and artsy I'd like to say. The sofas are Grey as well. There's a coffee table right in front which holds a pot plant on it. The TV is 42" inch Smart TV. Right beside the TV is the door to the bathroom and beside the bathroom is my room. The apartment is pretty small but I'm happy, It's big enough for our family.

"Miracle, I have a school trip on Wednesday. Could I go?" Dulce questions me. 

"Where is it to?" I ask her.

"A beach, as it says on the slip," She tells me. Now, It may be weird that Dulce has very good English but I have tutored her well so that she doesn't have problems for communication when she's in danger. There are just somethings you need to teach a 5 year old to do, even though it's early before when it really matters for them. In Dulce's case, Having good English is a very big thing. Soon when she's older, I'll teach her to speak in at least 3 different languages. I can speak 6 different languages, with English that is. I can speak Hindi, Arabic, French, Spanish and Japanese. I'm trying to learn Mandarin but it's hard...

"Okay, I'll speak to your teacher and see," I assure her. She nods and starts coloring. She's a strong kid. Being 5, having no parents and knowing that your life is in danger is something not most kids go through. She lives as if she's really safe but deep inside, only she knows how much it hurts. I make a salad for lunch, with some olives and cheese and a bit of chicken. I get a call from Sydney and decide to accept it.

Sydney : "Hi Miracle!". She's says amused.

Me : "Hi Syd, how's life?" I ask.

Sydney : "Fine, how about yours?" She asks me.

Me : "Great! What are you doing?" I question her.

Sydney : "I was talking to Ethan," She tells me.

Me : "That's great, At least you're getting along with them," I tell her.

Sydney : "Yeah, it hasn't been the same since Manchester," She states.

Me : "Mhm, I understand," I tell her.

Sydney : "Yeah," She reassures me.

Me : "You know, something's been bugging me recently," I tell her.

Sydney : "What is bugging you?" She asks.

Me : "You seem so much like my friend from a long time along, I used to call her Sandra but... I haven't seen her ever since..." I tell her.

Sydney : "Oh... I don't know any Sandra though. I'm sorry," She tells me.

Me : "Heh, Don't worry," I assure her.

We have a long conversation for about an hour until she has to go. After talking to her, I went to do the washing. I need to somehow earn money again. Probably I can work in a coffee shop? And work as a baby sitter? I don't know. But since I have University next year, I need to really start saving. Also, Dulce is growing up and I need to get her needs fulfilled. I probably will ask Rylee if she knows any cafes which are requiring new people to work. After finishing the laundry, I call Dulce to watch a movie with me. Today, we're watching Tangled. You know, the blonde with really long hair and that huge hidden tower and the fake mother and the lanterns, yeah that. I love the movie. Because of the songs. I'm 17 turning 18 and I love Disney songs, AND I'M NOT ASHAMED TO REVEAL. Well, kinda I am. Sometimes, Disney can do things which nothing else in the world can do which is make me sing in front of a crowd. Yes, I love singing but me singing in front of a crowd is terrible. I practically am internally killing myself every time I have to do it, So I try not to.

"Miracle, Your phone is ringing," Dulce tells me as she sees the phone ringing. I head for my phone and see an unknown number but decide to answer the call.

"Hello Ms. Miracle. I'm Inspector Travis. I regret to inform that your former Guardian, Mr Brice Wilson has passed away," He explains. I  Freeze for a moment. Doctor Brice is dead?!
