Chapter 8

.........................................

I was so nervous for some reason. I mean it was my first time back at home since I last left a month ago.

When I and Daniel came up to the door I didn't know whether to just walk in like old times or knock? Well I decided to just walk in. I was still part of the family right?

Everything looked the same as it did when I last left. Except you could really tell that there was sadness in the room. I don't know how but once you walk in the air felt different. It felt like something was missing?

We walked into the living room where I had last sat about a month ago. The entire house seemed dark and lonely and quiet.

"Mom, Stephanie, I'm home." I called out into the quiet house.

"Janet you're home." I heard a faint voice coming from my parents' bedroom. I instantly imagined mom and began to run to the hallway and into their room.

"Yes mom I'm home." I looked into the bedroom and saw my mom sitting on daddy's side of the bed. That same alarm clock was still there and there was a picture of dad before he got so sick.

I slowly walked to the same side of the bed and sat down next to her. Her hair had some white hint to it. She was not looking too well. Her face was pail her eyes are red from crying so much. She almost looked like a ghost.

"Hey mom, how are you."

"I'm getting there." She let out a sigh.

"Where is Stephanie?" I looked around the room wondering if she had come in or not.

"She..... Is in your room I think?" Her head slightly looked down to the picture in her hands.

"Well I brought someone I want you to meet." I continued, smiling.

Her head came back up and she glanced at me, her eyes had a slight sparkle in them.

"Who?" She had a curious expression on her face.

"A friend, come on." I slowly got up from the bed and handed her my hand gesturing for her to grab it.

She did and we walked back through the halls and into the living room where Daniel was sitting.

"Daniel this is my mom Gloria Clark." He stood up straight like a soldier trying to impress my mother. I couldn't help but giggle a little bit.

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Clark, I am sorry for your lost." He slowly stuck his hand out in front of her.

She went and shook it. "It's nice to meet you too....?" She paused waiting for him to say his name.

"Daniel."

"Ah Daniel, and thank you for coming, it's a pleasure to have you here." And for the first time since I had come home my mom smiled. Her face suddenly lit up as she saw Daniel standing there.

"Well I'm going to go see Stephanie." I started heading quietly up the stairs to my old room.

Once I reached the top stair, I stood in the door way leaning on the door frame. Looking at Stephanie who was lying on my bed.

She was reading my old sweet 16 magazines. I cleared my throat loud enough so she could hear.

"Hey stranger." I smirked a little bit watching her practically jump off my bed with the magazine flying in the air.

She glared at me for a second, and then her expression changed to really excited.

"Oh my gosh your home. I've missed you so much you have no idea." She ran over to me and gave me a big hug. I stumbled back a little bit from the amount of force and the impacted.

I couldn't help but chuckle a little bit. "I've missed you too." We both stood there with Stephanie wrapped around me for awhile.

"There is someone I want you to meet." I pulled her off of me with my hands on each of her shoulders.

'Is it a guy?" She commented with an eyebrow cocked.

"Maybe?" I replied sarcastically. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders. As we walked down stairs.

As we were walking down the stairs I could here voices. Mom was talking to Daniel about things and was asking him different questions.

One question that stuck out the most that I over heard was.

"So are you and my daughter dating?" Mom was sitting nicely in her 'special chair waiting for Daniel to reply.

He was on the couch, he hesitated a little. "No ma'am........ not yet at least." Once I over heard this words my mouth dropped open. I was stunned. Not yet? So he is at least hoping to ask me out.

Suddenly a feeling of happiness and being wanted washed over me. My face completely lit up of excitement.

"Hey Daniel I want you to meet my lil sis Stephanie." I walked out of the stairway into the living room with my arm still on Stephanie's shoulder.

"Hey Stephanie nice to meet you." He stuck his hand out again to shake her hand.

"Oh the pleasure is all mines." She shook his hand, turned around and moved her finger gesturing me to come closer to her.

I bent over so she could whisper in my ear. "He's hot you should totally keep him." She then winked at me then went and sat on the couch on the other side of the room pulled out her cellular and started to text someone.

My mouth dropped open in shock of what she just said. All that came out of my mouth was a chuckle; well it was more of a laugh.

~*~

We were all sitting down in the living room watching T.V. I was sitting next to Daniel, Stephanie sitting across from us texting still.

Mom was staring at me and Daniel sitting next to each other. She was probably imagining grand kids or something? Although I thinks it too soon to even think about anything. We first have to get rid of the obstical, Jackie......

"So um.... mom, when is the funeral for dad?"

"Oh I almost forgot... It's Tomorrow, at St. Peter's"

Things seemed to get a little awkward after that, I mean there was no talking or anything. If dad was here there would be a conversation one after another. If only dad was here......
