Life After You (On hold)

Chapter 4

America

California

Everyone seems to dreamed to came here

But I'm pretty sure it's not the same dream as mine...

I'm waiting here, since my uncle hasn't arrive yet. there stood a blonde girl with the brightest blue eyes. she's about 5 years old, she's super cute and adorable. she seems lost and she came to sit next to me

"hey!" she said smiling at me

"hi." I said back with a smile on my face

"you look sad" she said to me

she's only 5,what the heck she knows?

"I'm perfectly fine young lady" I said with the best forced smile I can give

"No you don't,I can see it." she said back

I kept silent, until she spoke again

"my name is Marry, what is your name?" she asked me

"I'm Fernanda, nice to meet you little girl!"

"I'm not little girl, I'm Marry! nice to meet you too!" she smiled back to me

"There you are! where have you been?!" A guy about my age came to us , more like marry

"I have a new friend!" she scream excitedly to him and pointing at me.

"I've been looking for you, mom and dad are in the cars already. let's go back, you don't want to be left here don't you?" he smiled while teasing his little sister I guest

"umm, no! I don't want to be left here! goodbye Fernanda, I hope we can meet again!" she said that and then she hugged me, it felt good I guest I haven't hugged anybody since I can remember

"me too" I smiled at her

then her brother finally look at me "sorry if she bothered you, I'm sure you have something to do" he said that to me

"it's fine really"

He smiled weakly,then they left me

I'm alone again

I put my earphones on my ear and began to listen some music, I put on shuffle and the man who can't be moved by the script came on. I've always loved this song, a particular lyric caught me. "I know it makes no sense, what else can I do? How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?"

the words echoed in my head

leaving me with the memories I had

the good and of course the bad

the time when I was happy and of course the time when I was sad

Why did my life had to be like this?

What did I do to deserved this?

What am I have to--

"there you are! I've been looking for you" someone's voice interrupted my thought. My uncle came out of nowhere, he hugged me and I hugged back. he smiled at me

"you remember me?" was all I asked

"Of course! no one had those blue eyes except your mother, beside how come I forgot about my beautiful nephew?" he said with his Italian accent. he's not really changed though, he still look the same as I could remember, but there's a bit wrinkles in his forehead

"let's get you home! you must be very tired." he smiled

I just nodded and smiled back

soon we were in my uncle's car and we left the airport

the drive home was silent, that's because I pretend to sleep

I know it's rude, it's just I'm not in the mood to talking

so now I'm in my uncle's home. it's so big and even bigger on the inside. this house has everything and way much too big for one person to live.

my uncle is a very rich man, he ran a fancy italian restaurant. he's a 3 headed chef and always busy. he was married before and had a daughter named Thalia, if she still alive she would be 10, but his wife cheated on hIm and took Thalia away with her. one time she was drunk driving and hit the trees. She got injured in her head, but unfortunately for Thalia she got injured both her head and her stomach. she lost a lot of blood and didn't make it to the hospital. since then my uncle never visited me again, I know how he feels, I know what it's like to lost someone you loved. he never trust a woman again, he never been seen with someone. he dedicated his life for his work.

"you can take Thalia's old room" My uncle finally broke the silent.

"you're fine with it?" I asked him, that's the only memory he had of his daughter, beside the room were pink. I hated pink with a passion, I felt wrong if I changed it. it's part of the past, and the last pieces of Thalia.

"don't worry about it, you can paint the room or changed it the way you want. it doesn't matter anymore for me" he said with a sly smile

"you sure? I can sleep in the guest room you know, it's fine by me."

"yes, and no don't take the guest room, it's only meant for the guest. you are a family, it's not where you belong" once again he said it with a smile on his face

"okay"

Thalia's room was big and pink, stuffed animal everywhere and there's a bathroom inside. there's also a walk in closet which is pretty big. but this room is covered in dust. I think he's still hurts about it.

it's not easy to fix a heart.

I've lost mine already.

this is just too much for me

I just put my box and my suitcase, I'm to lazy to unpack right now.

my uncle called me from downstairs "food is ready! come here fer!"

"okay" I answered

after finishing the food, my uncle said that he sign me in some high school he said it will start in a week so I better get ready.

I lay my self in bed wishing life would actually get better for once. I glance at the frames I put a while ago. One is the pictures of my family and the other it's the picture of me and martin in a backyard. we were smiling so big and he looked happy there. I smiled at the memory, and slowly drifted to sleep.

Oh Martin, how I wish you were here...
