Don't runaway my love

Miriam told me that Aaron  came around  and thank God  she knew I wasn't  ready to face him yet  and  I don't know when I will but right now that is not possible 

I arrange my cloth inside the box not to forget my shoes when I was done I went down to let my mum know i  was 
Ready 
I have never been to my fathers house nor stayed there and i never welcomed that idea of staying there
My mum kept pleading with me to leave the next morning  but I have made up my mind 

With the help from Miriam, she put the box inside the car  while  my mum drove  me to the airport
While sitting inside the plane the fear of losing Aaron forever
I stood  up to run out but the flight attendant had already made the announcement to put on our sit  belt
I was nervous  and scared
Nervous of seeing my father and his family 
Scared that this is the biggest mistake am about to make

it just a one weeks break  then I'll be back

It was 5hours and 5min before we arrived at Florida, i moved with the crowd inside the airport  with my box

I searched  among the crowd  and didn't see anyone with my name or my father 
I walk to the entrance  no sign of him
I tried his number  but went straight to voicemail  
I decided to call my mum,

" sweetheart"  she answered

" mum am still at the airports"

"Why is your father not there?"

" no one is here to pick me up"

" so sorry Sweetheart let me call him" she hang up  not before  I heard Miriam  asking Aaron  if he like the cake

Aaron  again

I stood around  there for 2 hours before I saw him, he ran towards me,
He wore dark brown suit, seems like he just came out from office,
He cut his long dark hair short  which has change his face
But he lost weight, he looked lean

"Princess  sorry am late"  he smiled warmly  at me, he took my bag
I couldn't  return the smile, I was tired and hungry and the man standing in front  of me doesn't look like my father
He has lost so much weight like someone  that just recovered from sickness or going through hell

"Good afternoon dad"  I lifted my school bag

" afternoon princess , let go am such Mary Ann has made something to eat "

I nod an followed him, we sat behind in his range rover    while the driver started the car

"Princess  this is Andrew  my driver also bodyguards" he nod at me through the rear view
"My daughter  Aimee" I smiled at him 
An turn my face to the window 

" am so happy you came" my father continue  " have been asking your mum about  you "

Silence !!!

" how is School  " 

Silence !!!

" princess  I know we are not in the best relationship  but am trying here please"

Silence !!!

" how is Aaron "

Silence!!!

Aaron  how is he doing, has he eaten,

Am scared, am I going to lose  him, will I throw away 15 year of friendship  just for a little quarrel 

I don't know what more my dad was saying because I was lost in thought about Aaron 
I miss him so much
