Why me?

Chapter Twenty-three

Ashton decided to stop picking on me and actually play. We played for hours, and what surprised me is that I don't think I have ever gone this long without looking at my phone.

Hours had gone by and Ashton looked like he had completely lost interest in the game but frankly I had too. I stood up and asked if he was bored, he looked at me and nodded, I gave a little smile and helped him off the ground.

"do you wanna watch a movie?" I asked

"Do you wanna watch a movie?" He questioned back and tilted his head a little

"well I don't know what do you wanna do?"

"watch a movie," I threw my arms in the air and pointed to the movie covered ( and yes we have a covered full of movies).  He walked over to the movies slowly and opened it as if their was going to be something behind it,  He opened it and his face was  a lot of different expressions, their was shock, amazement, happy , and he also looked a little impressed. I was also a little proud of my self for getting an expression like that out of him.

"well imma go make us some hot chocolate, sound good?" 

"Ya, that sounds perfect!"

"Awesome then I will be in the kitchen,"

" I'm going to be looking at your movies," 

" you do that," I said as I was walking away from him.

I walked into the kitchen and found Sam dead asleep on the floor, I ran over to him and touched him,

" ohh my gosh I feel so bad I forgot to feed you when I got home!" 

He jumped up and wagged his tail at me 

"no don't be happy with me I'm a bad owner,"

he just wagged his tail at me some more, I walked over to his food bin and put some in his bowl. He ran over and scarfed it. 

" are you satisfied now?" He sat down and I took that as a yes.

I walked over to the cabinets and grabbed two coffee mugs, I also grabbed some coco mix from a drawer, I began to microwave everything and started thinking, what if we need blankets? so being me I decided to go upstairs and grab some. I tried to shrug everything off that has been happening or just thought of it as a bad dream.  I walked up the stairs and realized that it keeps getting even more eerie each time I go up their. I walked down the hall way on my way to my room It was dark and it felt like I was in a horror movie. I creaked open my door and flipped my light switch on as quickly as possible, I looked around and saw nothing..nothing but my room, that I always felt comforting and safe, the room that I had grown up in, the room that me and daddy used to play in all the time... I felt tears prick at my eyes, it was the instant that I would think of him I would want to curl up and cry, I stared off into space for a while and found myself in a very depressing flashback that was defiantly the worst day of my life.

*Flashback to six years ago*

"Mommy where is daddy going?" I asked my mother that was in tears by the words I had just said,

" well sweat heart your father is very sick, you know that right?" I nodded my head in agreement,

"your father is going to leave...forever and I need you to be strong when I tell you this, okay?" 

"Okay mommy,"

"your father he umm he is going to be in a better place, he isnt going to come back and I want you to spend as much time as you can with him before he leaves, but he is going to be in a place called heaven waiting for us and watching over us, " My mom gave a little smile that I could tell was very forced. 

" so mommy,"

"yes bunny?" 

" Can daddy take us with him to the better place that is called heaven?"

She broke into some more tears that she couln't seem to stop,

"No bunny, no he can't take us with him, I wish he could...I wish he could,"

I stopped thinking of the very sad flashback and found myself in some very hard sobs, I looked around the room and realized its this room, it is like it is feeding off of my sadness and that it causes sorrow. I quickly grabbed some blankets and wiped my face with the back of my hand, I walked out of my room and shut the door behind me. I heared a bump and squeezed my eyes shut I walked down the hall way very quickly but it was as if something was right there at my feet that if i slowed my speed at all it would pull back into that darkness I had just experienced I started running and practically flew down the stairs. It stopped once I got down stairs, it had a good Ora down stairs I walked back in the kitchen and was greeted to some movies laying on the counter that I am guessing I'm supposed to pick from.

I looked around confused of where he was,

"hello? are you still here?" 

before I knew it hands flew around my waist and and I let out a loud shriek, I squirmed around until he put me down. I turned around quickly and slapped his chest,

"don't do that your going to give me a heart attack!"

" common it was cute!"

he put his under my chin and looked at my face, he looked completely happy to concerned in less than a second,

"whats wrong? Where you crying?"

"nothings wrong yes I was crying so what am I allowed to cry?"

" you are just what happened?"

"nothing lets just watch a movie,Okay!"

"hey,"

"what?"

"look at me,"

I spun around and looked him straight in the eyes, he pulled me in and kissed me so long and so delicately, he was acting as though I was a flower that he didn't want to break. That lasted a while, but let me say this that was by far that best kiss I had ever had!

So far...
