Blind Eyes (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 8

"Dad?" I say with tears in my eyes. I don't know why he is here. If he wants to get to know me it's a little late for that. How did even know I was here? "James?" She says to her son.

"Hi, mama." My auntie pushes past me and gives him a hug. I'm still standing there shocked. "Hey, Stef aren't you going to give me a hug?"

"Why would I hug the person who abandoned me?" I say. I look at him and he looks sorry. At that point, Jaime was behind me. "Jaime nice to see you again."

"I wouldn't say the same." She said. With that, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at Jaime. I jumped right in front of her because I knew my dad wouldn't kill me. "Stop!"

"Stefany move out of the way." My dad or should I say James because he isn't really a dad anymore.

"No!" He is about to pull the trigger when auntie pushed the gun towards the ground and it hit my thigh. I screamed in pain and clutches my leg. I could already feel the blood pouring out. I almost fell over but was caught by Jaime. "When I say run you have to run as best as you can to the car." She whispered in my ear. He turned around to look at something when Jaime said run.

I sprinted towards the kitchen and grabbed two kitchen knives both with the blade facing down. And I run out of the kitchen door. I get in the passenger seat of the Volvo. Auntie gets in the passenger seat and Jaime is in the back once the door closes we are driving. He is shooting at the car and the back window shatters. Jaime screams and ducks down. I'm still wincing with the sudden movement and I ripped off some of my tank tops and wrap it around my leg. I can't go to the hospital because it's a bullet wound so they will ask questions that I can't answer.

"Stefany I need to tell you something. It's about James. He isn't really your dad. He works for a private agency that no one knows the name to, even the agents. Same as your mom and your mom too Jaime and your dad is off the grid and everyone suspects he is dead."

We both look at her with wide eyes. We did not expect that and I don't think Jaime did either. We sit there in silence while I apply pressure to my wound. Then there is a car that starts shooting at us. We all lean down so we don't get shot and we end up losing them.

"Auntie we have to leave we can't keep putting you in danger."

"Ok, I'll take you to the airport and give you enough money to buy tickets anywhere in the state."

"Thank you, auntie."

_________________<>_________________

On the way there, there were 3 other cars that followed us and we lost them in that traffic. We parked the car and ran in the airport and I put on a big enough sweatshirt to cover up my bullet wound. We when to the place where we can buy tickets. We get tickets as far away as we can in the U.S. that isn't Maine. The best place in Tampa Florida. Auntie walks us to the gate entrance and says goodbye. "Oh, girls I wish I could go with you."

"I know Auntie but we don't want you in danger," I reply with tears in my eyes. I know she really wants to come with us but Ian and Samantha need her. Finding out the people who have been raising me is trying to kill me. "But you are in danger. I feel like I need to protect you because the ones that are supposed to are trying to kill you."

We hug one last time and we board the plane. We get on the plane and it is taking off and I'm in the window seat we are in the air and the flight attendant asks us if we want anything to drink and we both say no because we don't know who to trust anymore. We land and we stop to look on the news to see what is new because that is what the news is for and we see that there was a bombing at the airport that we just left and it happened only two hours ago. There was only one survivor and three others had died and they showed the pictures. Right in the center was my aunt smiling in the picture we took when we went to New York City together. I instantly start sobbing and I can barely see anything but small tears running down her cheeks. A bunch of people comes over to see if we are ok and I just say that is my aunt and they just walk away. We have to leave and I know someone is watching to make us weak. I can't be weak we have done so much.

We need to get to a public place. And the first thing that popped into my mind was Disney. We can drive the hour drive to Disney World. We rent a car and Jaime starts to drive because I can't drive. we keep driveling and I'm looking up how much the tickets were four days at Disney are. They are $89 a day so $356 for one person for four days, so $712 for both of us. Auntie gave us and extra $1,000 so we can go there and stay at a resort. I give Jaime the correct directions to the hotel. "Stefany, I'm sorry for yelling at you about your dad. I shouldn't have done it. I know it is a sensitive topic."

"I'm sorry for not caring about your feelings. I know you loved him and I wasn't understanding," I reply.

"You have nothing to be sorry about. it is all me I was the one who was being a jer-" I cut her off right there saying "We can fight but there is nothing that could separate us, we'll be friends forever."
