Larger than life

2- an emotional day

June 25th, 2009
10:00am

I'm walking to drama with my head down and my hands behind my back holding down my to high skirt, I'm already 3 minutes late because I wanted to get a bottle of water in the store.
I let my thick curls dangle in my face as I watch my feet drag themselves along the concrete path.

"Tanasha?" I hear a familiar voice say

I slowly lift my head to see ania standing in front of me looking worried

"What's wrong tanash?"

"Oh, nothing, just feeling a bit tired. And I'm late to my lesson" I chuckle

"Oh" she sniggers "well cheer up! It's the last day of school before summer break!"

I completely forgot! Yay!

"Oh my goodness yes! I forget about that!"

"Anyway I'll see you later, get to your lesson!" Her voice trails of as she walks away

5 hours later
3:00pm

I meet ania at the school gates like I always do, her blonde hair looks all scraggy and messy

"Did you do some sport?" I chuckle

"Yep, and my hair got tangled while I was running" she groans

"I could tell- yea" I snigger quietly

We walk to my house because it's not to far away from the school.
I live in a rather large suburban styled house on a mountain side.
But my town is surrounded my mountains so it makes no difference.

I unlock the door and ania opens it, running inside and collapsing on the sofa

"Ahhh" she says smiling with her eyes closed and she's already looking comfortable on the sofa

"Mom?" I shout up the stairs

No answer.

"Oh I completely forgot she's staying up auntie Laura's tonight!"

"Yes! Free house!" Ania almost screams

I sit next to her sluggishly and switch on the TV.
I close my eyes trying to get a breath from walking up the hillside.

"Yes Joanne it's so sad just thinking about it, but we shall hope for he best" the news reporters say sadly talking about politics or some shit like that.

"Oh my god" I hear ania almost whisper

"What?" I say with my eyes still closed

I hear the news reporters again
"Apparently he has just arrived at the UCLA medical centre close to his home, we don't know exactly what has happened but it could be something bad, something we should fear the most in this situation"
Ugh who are they even talking about

"Oh no" I hear ania whisper again this time with more of a sad tome in her voice

Again the news reporters
"He's such an extraordinary man Joanne, I don't know what this world would do without him, and his fans love him so much" a sad male voice plays in my head
"Yes Martin, and also he has these shows to do soon and if he's not well enough- this really is it" a female voice says
