ADOPTED BY GEORGE SALAZAR

T.I.M.E

Last time:

Dad walks over and takes my hand then turns me around and I see the house I grew up in till I was 8. I say " How did that happen?" Dad says, " You're thinking about it. '' You think it and it happens." I walk into the yard and we walk into the house. I walk into the entrance. I open the closet door to see my little red rain boots and pink rain jacket along with my sweater and winter jacket. Along with my mom's and dad's jackets and sweaters and shoes. My mom stands in the kitchen cooking breakfast and I hear little feet patterns and I see a little girl who looks like Anna come down the stairs only she looks a bit different. " That's you not Anna." I hear my dad say then I hear my little voice say " mama I brush my teeths all by myself.q'' Mom says " That's great sweetie let mama see how good you did." I watch as I open my mouth wide and then I roar, scaring my mother. We laughed and then we heard a Knocking on the door. I watch my mom walk over to the door opening it saying "How may I help- darling your home." I see my little self run over and I say " I forgot you were in the navy." "Navy seal, I was never allowed to tell you or your mother but I was a decorated navy seal." I look at him then back at the scene and say " This is the day you came home. I'm 3 in this." I look back at my dad and say " I remember cause you said you would never leave again." 

AND NOW

Then I start thinking about the day he died and I hear a crack of thunder behind me and I look and see that an 8 year old me is running from the window to underneath the bed and I say " I remember being so afraid of the rain that all I wanted was you. Mom tried to get me out from under the bed but I wouldn't move if you weren't there to protect me. But that night you didn't come home and you never would.  That drunk driver sped down the road and crashed head first into your car and the cars exploded killing everyone involved including you. Or at least that's what I could hear the cop tell mom. From that point everything changed. She became a monster who married the son of bitch who did that to me." My dad wipes the tear that started to roll down my cheek off and says "I'm sorry my love, but you have George."  George! " When do I get to go back?" My dad looks down then back at me and says " well it's not that easy. You have to make a choice. You have to choose between your life on earth, or you can choose to come with me to heaven." I look at him and say " wait does that inherently mean I have to choose between George and you?" He quietly nods. 

" This is crazy and stupid. Why do I have to choose?" I say getting frustrated. My dad sits me down on the floor and askes "You don't have to make a choice but it would be best if you did make it soon. Time works differently here every second here is a minute there, every minute here is an hour there, every hour here is a day there, Everyday here is a month there." I look at him and say "well how long have I been here?" He says " 5 hours here and so that means 5 days there."  I get up and say "What?!" He nods then says " your actually stuck here for a bit because you coma is medically induced. In a few hours here they will try to pull you out. That is when you have to choose until then we can sit and talk about whatever you want.

Jai Elena has been here for 5 days and 2 of the infections have started to get better the other 3 won't be treated till next week. So she's gonna be out for a while. Then they are going to wake her up. Hopefully there are no problems there. Anna is with Stephany and the girls, Tiffany isn't with them, she's meeting me for lunch. So I don't know how to feel. All I want is my daughter. I texted CJ earlier but she didn't answer. I have not seen her in 5 days since I dropped her off. maybe I should go check on her. I'll do that while I'm on my way home.

(Hey guys. So what do you think Jai should do?).
