A/N~--~ Ok well first of all ... Hi how are yall . Second of all I did nothing all summer and now school is coming to bite me in the ass annnnnd feel free to point out any mistakes because I suck at proofreading :)
Third of all ... I finally found someone to cast for Venessa (Bruna Lirio- picture above) this is how I would imagine Venessa to look like but then again you can cast her as anyone you please so this is the only character I might cast for now.
~~~---~~~
Venessa's POV
"Wake up honey ... wake up it's a special day don't want to miss it do you ?" I could hear even in deep sleep slowly pulling me out of it and I groan. Knowing exactly who it was waking me up sort of eased my annoyance.
"Nooo! Mama can't I sleep for five more minutes sleep is important for a child's growth you know pleaseeee ? " I beg pulling the covers back over my head .
"Nope, nah uh no child of mine is gonna miss her 10th birthday on my watch cmon up up now, your dad is waiting downstairs ... unless you want him to eat your cake ." Yup I'm wide awake now nothing's gonna come between me and food, not today.
I got up from my bed as fast as I could still hoping that I will still see cake there. I hear my mom chuckling as she follows behind me.
I ran down the stairs as fast as my little feet could go and headed straight for the kitchen not even stopping for breath.
I stopped dead in my tracks as I saw my dad, fork in his hand, ready to poke MY cake and that was it he's going down.
I screamed " PAPA! What do you think your doing no no mister your dead. "
My dad and I are now glaring western style and he says with a smirk,"Bring . it .on . Cmon bring it on birthday girl."
I lunged at him with all my might trying my best to perfect the moves my judo instructor thought me.
Psshhh 'bring it on' I'm not the one pinned down by a 10 year old here. My dad smiled and accepted his defeat.
Remembering my prize ,mom lit the candle and all I could ever wish for was this, just this moment with my family was all I ever needed to be happy. With that thought in mind I hugged parents and thanked them.
Later on in the day, Dad invited his best friend Sebastian Rodriguez, his son Luca and his wife Teresa .They were like a second family to me especially Luca he was my best friend well my only friend because of our dads job .We were aware of what our dads do, it wasn't a shock to us because we know we will have to fit in their shoes one day and it's why we started training since we were old enough to walk.
Luca and I went outside to play while my parents and his talked inside.
"Soo the big double digits huh," he said smirking.
"You big dufus we're the same age dork," I said punching him in the shoulder.
" Ohh on the contrary, I believe I'm one month two weeks and three days older than you." He said again smirking at me . The smirk is seriously getting annoying.
"You're really gonna rub it in my face? On my birthday? wow that's harsh," I said frowning and fake crying at him.
"Ohh suck it up Venny, you know you wuvv me, " he came up to me and pinch my cheeks .
" God, you know I honestly hate when you call me that." I pushed away his hands rubbing my now sore cheeks. I swear this boy gets on my nerves but yet I always feel some sort of bubbly feeling around him and I like it .
I shrug it off and raced Luca inside and proudly won while making a face at a scowling Luca, which is really hilarious at this moment.
After getting some popsicles mom and Teresa came up to us and said " Honey, Teresa and I are going to get your special present ,wait with Luca and dad till we come back ok?" I walked with them till we got to the front door.
Mom stooped to my level and placed a kiss on my forehead which made me smiled and said, " I love you mi pequeño diamante, Happy Birthday I'll be back sooner than you think" she said as she squished my nose and got up to closed the door.
Luca who was right beside me told his mom bye and already left me here, apparently pizza was really important ...now that I think about it pizza is sounding important to me too.
It's been almost an hour now and I still haven't heard anything from my mom and aunt Teresa
probably they were in traffic or something It was Monday after all soo I went back to playing chess with Luca who was winning. WAIT HOW? WHAT? he never wins against me . He was laughing and claiming his victory while I was starting to get really worried but yet again I shrugged it off .Ok it's been almost two hours now surely whatever the surprise was couldn't take this long could it? Luca and I were now in my bedroom playing with some toys when I heard the phone ring from downstairs and we sat by the step to peak at dad who answered it .
Dad's facial expression went blank as soon as he heard the person on the other end after a few seconds my father was practically screaming at the phone while I was trying to comprehend why he said " WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" And then I saw him slowly slide down to the floor with his hand on the forehead . "NO No no noooo " he said still on the phone and now I definitely know something is wrong my dad never gets sad and by the tone of his voice it's clear something happened but what?
I see that he throws the phone on the sofa and puts his face on his hands , wait is he crying? He never ever cries now I'm really scared. What is happening? Luca and I look at each other in confusion. Dad wipes his face and calls out to me "Venessa!" Luca and I got startled for a bit and walked down the stairs slowly still confused.
Dad looked at me with sadness in his eyes , he looked broken right now and it was killing me I've never seen him like this and it hurts to look at him .
Tears are already flowing out my eyes and I don't even know what he is about to say but for some reason I have a gut feeling and I'm really hoping it's wrong. Their is only one person could make him feel this way I'm shaking my head backing away knowing it's true. I was ready to run, run and forget all my sorrows when one person stopped me from going Luca , he embraced me with a hug which I eagerly wanted to get out of .
My father walked up to me
And hugged me also .He said slowly into my shirt "your mom was driving and the the brakes broke and she lost control and ... and " I could hear the hurt in his voice but I forced myself to not hear anymore and it wasn't working .This was not happening not today... not today. He continued " she hit a light pole and, FUCK! It fell on the car Venessa it fell on her ," he was now crying.I never saw my father cry.
I could feel his and Luca's grip tightening on me but I was paralyzed I didn't know what to do ,what to think ,I was just there limp waiting for him to say it ,dreading it "she was the only one who didn't survive Venessa I'm sorry she's gone."
Two words that could kill my soul in a instant
She's gone
