THEN... WE MET

GRAND PARTY 50 YEARS WITH SWYL 3

Kara POV

MY heart skipped a beat.... I was not seeing things and he was looking straight at me... I began moving towards him, the more I walked to where he was the more he moved further away.

Why was he like this?
What happened to him?

A memory came in my head...

I was playing outside and I  happen to  take a glimpse of my parents who seemed  so into each other,  I was just 5 years old back then but I saw the love they had on each other...

After sometime I saw my mom arguing in a phone call. I just kept on doing my stuff,  later that evening  my mom seemed depressed,  and as much as dad tried to cheer her up she was just not feeling it.

The next day, she  seemed  to have  cooled off, I went to school, on the way to school I looked at my dad and he smiled at me.

Dad: what  is it  pumpkin!?

Me: Is everything  OK?

Dad: why asking?

Me: OK let me put this way is mom OK?

Then there it was, that weird silence again... as I wanted to speak he cut me off and said.

Dad:We are always good. And you my princess need to be happy and not think of anything else that's unnecessary.

He kissed me on the forehead and said, "Papa's and mama's most beautiful princess. "

I smiled he always loved calling me that I almost thought in my early years that was my name, I  even spoke it as a first word  before mama and papa. Funny huh!!

After he dropped me to school, I rushed in my class,  the time I got home it was so quiet so I thought 'well I  got the house all to myself huh!! Lucky me!! '

I went up to my room,  and once I was there it took two hours before my parents had arrived back home,  I watched excitedly at them finally home.

Just as I wanted to call out on them, I saw something that shocked me,  my mom gave two heavy slaps at my father, and as I looked at my father I could not read his expression.

Once they got inside, I pretended  to be asleep when I heard my door opening. It was my mom, she sat beside me. And this is what she said.

Mom: when you came to the world it was the best feeling ever, I will always carry that feeling. Be unique in your own loving way my Kara, Mama will always be proud of you.

(it seems like she was fighting back her tears from falling)

Things seem to go well for like for four months straight. We went to vacation and I hardly saw them fighting but something was off with my mom, she did not seem as energetic as she used to be.

After the vacation we were back and about a week later my mom started coming really late back home, and when she came she would come into my room and sleep with me.

The last time I saw her was when she was yelling at my dad saying

"I hate the man who is the father of my child, the one I call husband,  the man before that was the love of my life but the one standing here is a MONSTER!! " ( she was crying) 

My dad who also seem Like in the verge of crying said, " Kat, I.... I.... am ashamed of myself please just for Kara I would do anything, I want you back so badly I am so sorry I caused you pain... I do not know how I will face Kara! I need you both."

I was tearing up, what had happened between them... After that incident all I remember was me being at my grandpa house and the knowledge of my mother dead coming to sense, then there was my father who I hardly saw after my mother's burial..

In a year I was living with Grandpa, he(dad) hardly visited me during my teen years and just like that he disappeared  in my life.

Back to the present....

He was there..... my father,the one guy that I used to laugh with so hard like there is no tomorrow.
I went to the balcony and there he was standing his back facing me.

In a whisper I called on him "Dad!"

He somehow heard me and turned around I almost screamed.
He was horrible
He looked like a zombie
He was so stressed

"What... What... Happened to y....yo.. You? " I managed to say.

He just stared at me, in fear, anger and what seemed liked vengeance? I could not see love in his eyes, his eyes looked like he was about to cry....
My tears were already all over my face, because I wanted to hug him but I seemed afraid too.

"I... I... re....ally mi....... ssed yo....u"

I was now getting closer to him, and just like that I found myself hugging him so tightly, like my life depended on it. I cried and I cried non stop. He did not hug me back

After what seemed like few seconds I was suddenly pushed away so hard, and he screamed as if he saw a stranger or someone who wanted to hurt him,  I could not understand it's like he recognizes me then at the same time does not . Suddenly security came and thus where the chaos begun they captured him as if he was a criminal.

I tried to shout at them but somehow my voice was betraying me, I could not speak it's as if somebody caught my throat, I was just tearing up watching the scene before me.

In no time Alexander rushed to my side and tried holding me I just turned to him and said in a whisper "Ple.....ase... Ple....ase... tell the.. secu...rity.. to let.. Loose... My... D.. ad!"

The look of shock from Alexander did not go unnoticed for he was unaware... he then shouted at the security.. to let my father go...

It's seems the whole family was coming our way,the in-laws, my cousins, Emelia and Grandpa..

There was something neither one of us noticed but just like that a gun was fired which made my head feel like it exploded, but my hands were bleeding with no pain?

Whose blood was it?

Then I heard Eric and Moira shout out a name and everyone was in shock.. I was holding something really heavy like a half dead body... Then realization hit me...

"OH GOD!.. XANDER!! "
