For All Time

Chapter 12

It was like the whole hospital stopped for a minute as the watched Susanne De Passe Storm through the Hospital with a hard expression on her face, her heels clicking with every step. they could tell that she was not happy to be there. She stopped when she saw her Goddaughter best friends Jo Anna and Michael. She stood in front of them and and crossed her arms, Scolding at them."What Happened?"She asked.

Michael looked away as Jo Anna stood up."Umm well,I wasn't there but, Michael;-"

"Well IF you weren't there, may be I should be talking to Michael."She said cutting her eys over at him

Jo Anna shrugged her shoulders."Okay."she said then skipped back over to her seat.

Susanne walked in front of Michael."Well?"

He just looked down at his feet he didn't want to have to telll her everything because it would probably get her in even more trouble."Well,"he began in a whisper."She called me this morning all frantic and stuff, telling me to meet her at that cabin and when I got there she was looking in this bov that had allot of photo albums in it and journals and things. I don't know what it was but I think it had something to do with her mother. Anyway so next thing I know, this man bursts through the door wondering why he was in his mother cabin, and the next thing i know she faints."

"Wait a what did this boy look like?"She asked.

Michael looked around her/"You can see for your self."He pointed over to Keith.Who stood behind her.

Susanne turned around and her mouth dropped in an instant. Tears started rolling down her face. as she waled up to him."Rashad?"she asked.

"I go by Keith now."

"You've grown up so much, and you still have your mothers eyes."She said as she hugged him.

Rashad pulled her off of him."Why didn't you anybody tell me she was my sister?"he asked/

"Well, for one, I thought I'd never see you again."

"Yeah but I'm her record producer and I had a crush on her. I tell you Susanne, i would've took her out if I didn't know she was dating Michael over here."

"wait a minute what?"She asked.

Jo Anna stood up. And walked over to Keith."Yeah, umm she doesn't know?" she whispered.

"Oh."He looked down at his feet in embarrassment.

Michael face was beet red."Michael, you know you and Aaliyah are not suppose to be dating.:Susanne said.

Michael stood up and walked towards her."And who are you to stop her from dating who she wants to date, Susanne?"He asked quietly."She likes me and I like her and there's nothing you or Joseph can do about it."

"Yeah."Jo anna said, jumping in."Aaliyah is a smart girl and no matter how much you take away her car and her keys or whatever she's gonna keep finding ways to see him."

Susanne didn't know what to say she just sat down, in a chair and placed her buried her face in her hands.She didn't know herself why she didn't want her to date him or anybody else. Maybe she still saw her as the little girl that she took in for her best friend who died years ago.Or maybe she was afraid she'll end up in the same mess her mother ended up in, which was the reason why she was dead in the first place. But then again when she looked at Michael she couldn't see her getting any kind of trouble with him. Michael was the type of guy Keith's father was. He was just a sensitive boy. But to her looks can be deceiving.

"Umm Ms. De Passe."She heard a soft voice say.

Susanne lifted up her head.To see a short woman with short hair green eyes and a pretty smile."Yes."She said as she stood up.
