Warmth

The river of hope is slowly loosing tides and one can say for certain that all who attempt to swim in it would drown.

I adjusted the empty snack pack on the chair as I tried to understand what he meant.

The setting of the sitting room had a feminine touch but I didn't see any picture on the wall..

I couldn't be sure, but the house felt sad, like a shadow of itself.

"When would you want to go check up on your dad" he changed the topic still folding his fist.

"I would have gone tomorrow, but I don't know if I am safe yet." I spoke readjusting on the chair.

He looked like someone who heard alot to say.

I think I have crowded him with my problems and failed to ask about his.

"Alright" his voice sounded so quiet. It felt as though he lost it from shouting.

But his voice was ok earlier, so how did he loose it?

He paced around the sitting room removing anything he saw.

Like papers, pictures, books.

He wanted to make the house clean but didn't remove the snack trash beside me.

So why was he removing just those things.

"Your room is upstairs, the door by your left, though it had not been used for a long time" I don't know if I could ask him what he meant.

Still, it was clear he was hiding something.

I went upstairs to the room he mentioned, from the painting of the door it was a girl.

As I could see the Alice in wonderland picture.

I lost interest in those things quite early, I opened the door to see a beautiful princesses' room.

The room had a feminine look. It was painted with blue and pink with the bed having more pictures of Alice in wonderland.

I had to admit that the room was beautiful and everything still felt new.

I looked around the room but saw no picture, no frame on the wall.

I went to the lockers near the big mirror at the corner to check but it was locked.

I wondered as to what exactly Mr Frank was hiding.

I paused for a while and there after fell on the bed.

I have had a whole day of thinking.

Enough for now, it was napping time.

I saw everyone trying to help my Mom, don't they know she is a monster?

"Let's rush her to the hospital!" A handsome young man shouted me out of my thoughts.

That's rude, I thought.

They carried her out of the restaurant.

We got to the car and this same guy whom I disliked is asking me for the car keys.

Why not Earth is he asking me?

"Why are you acting slow, isn't she your mom?" He spoke rudely again.

I can take everything but not insults from a rude and proud human being.

I clenched my fist trying to calm down, then I pointed at her pocket.

By this time everyone had come out to see what was going on.

We entered the car with a lady and a man but Mr rude(as I had nick-named him) drove us.

On our way to the hospital I wish I could smack him in the face.

Who does he think he is?

Though he drove well, but I could see he was worried.

What if this is God answering y prayer.

What if this is all planned..

Deep down a part of me wanted her dead.

I would finally be free

FINALLY!

We got to the hospital of Doctor Gideons' and I gave a big sigh knowing I came here two days ago.

"Hurry" Mr rude signaled me out of the car.

I am starting to think he is doing this on purpose.

They ran out to call for some nurses, though I ran but dragged my feet.

They placed her on the stretcher and they took her to the emergency section.

Should I run away?

No Ash, No Monsters in my room, No Mum.

"Yes I would run away!" I said to myself

My mind is made up!!

I looked over my shoulders as though I was discussing with three persons.

And finally we agreed we would leave when everyone wasn't not looking.

I sat on the hospital's bench, everyone looked so concerned as though they knew my mom.

I took time to observe everyone, I would leave once they get too distracted.

Time felt too slow and wanted it fast.

But lucky me, the perfect moment came; no one was looking.

I took the door leading to the lobby, I had no where to go but I know I can stay here.

I seemed heartless, but deep down I didn't know if this was God helping out.

I got to the lobby and could see nurses and doctors doing their usual activities.

No one paid attention to me, in a short moment I would be out of here.

Finally I would be free, I gave a smile I found hard to hold back.

"Where are you going to?" there he was looking with so much curiosity.

I stood frozen in my thoughts and I was like; "who the hell is the guy, was he sent to annoy me?"

"I am going to get something." I smiled trying to grind my teeth together.

He smirked as though he knew I was lying, the story behind his persistence annoyance must be unraveled.

Death and life are true lovers that never met but longed for each other.

What's death wishing to be alive and what was living knowing we would still die.

I got scanned through the room and it felt pitiful.

Like memories had happened here but there was no trace.

I just don't know how to explain it.

I laid back on the bed and I gave a big sigh trying to soak myself into the mattress.

What a period?

From home, to kidnapping, to the hospital and now here.

This is something too much for a 14 year old.

I tucked myself into the bed. I needed sleep.

And I would have it.
