The End of The Beginning


I woke up to the sound of screaming and banging on my bedroom door, and I could smell something that smelt burnt. Right then I knew the night has come for those punk kids down the block to set my house on fire. I ran to the door but the handle was too hot to open. I had to let the person know that was banging on the door that I was awake and going to jump out the window so I could be safe. I layed on the ground yelling to the person on the other side. I didn’t think they heard me but I was choking on the dry air I was breathing in and out, and I knew that meant I needed to get out before I passed out and dyed in my house. I ran to the window and tried to open it but I was too weak. I grabbed my chair and through it at the window and it went flying out. I ran to the window and jumped right out. I landed on the ground with a huge thump. I knew I had to go find my mother and see if she was ok. She’s the only one I lived with and I just couldn’t lose her now. When I went to get up I got dizzy and fell again then everything went black and quite.

I woke up in a bright white light and I noticed I was in a hospital. I was scared and I didn’t no why I was here so I started screaming for my mom and I sure didn’t get my mom. Five doctors came running in. Once they got me to settle down they told me what had happened. On the speakerphone someone had screamed code blue in room42. All the nurse ran out of my room to the one next door. I had to no what was going on so I unhooked all the tubes that were connected to me and ran to the other room. When I got in the room ten nurses stood around this one bed. I was dying to know who was in that bed and what was going on. I broke throw all the nurses and there was my dead mother lying there with her beautiful eyes shut. Her arms burnt black from the fire. I ran into my room and then remember when someone was banging on my door trying to wake me up. That was my mother! I couldn’t deal with this guilt of not trying harder to tell her I was going to jump out the window. I was filled with way to many questions! Where am I going to live? I kneeled beside my bed and started praying hoping he could some how bring my mom back to life. But I just knew, sadly, that wouldn’t happen.

A young man walked into the room and asked if I was ok to talk about how my life was going to be now that I had no mother. He told me they had found my dad and he said he would take me since we could get in contact with any of my closer family. I was scared when I heard that because I had never met my dad. My mom and him got divorced when I was really young. I think I was about four or five months old. Every time I asked my mom why I didn’t have a father she just said he left for a trip when I wasn’t even one. I would always wonder about him so i would go into the attic and see if my mom had any pictures of him inn the big boxes. But she had none. The young man showed me a picture of my dad and gave me some papers that my dad had written about himself just for me. He sounded like a very nice man but he had put in he had remarried three years after my mom and him got a divorce. I didn’t want to go to with him and then have him tell me to call his girlfriend mom. I don’t want to be rude and say no I won’t but calling her mom would give me bad feelings. The man left the room and I layed down and started crying. I was wishing I could be with my mom and tell her how much I love her. My life is now ruined now that’s she’s gone. Maybe living with my dad wont be as bad as I imagine it. But no one could be sure of that. I thought about everything for about an hour then got tired and decided maybe sleeping could help so I went to sleep.


My dream I had woke me up running out of my room and down the halls. A nurse stopped me and held my arms and asked where I was going and why was I running. I told her I needed too go stop my mom. She asked for my last name and I told her. She told me there was no way to stop my mom she was already dead. She gave me a hug and I started crying my eyes out. The nurse picked me up and carried me back to my room and she sat with me for a long time. I asked when was I going to leave the hospital she told me she would go ask. When she came back she said my dad was on his way. The nurse handed me a box and inside was make up. She put some on me and said you deserve to look very very pretty to meet your dad.

When the doctor called for me I walked to the front desk and he said my dad was in front waiting for me. The doctor walked me to my dad’s car and he introduced himself to me. The doctor gave me a card that had the hospitals number on it. I was guessing this was the number I would call if my life with my dad wasn’t going so good. My dad open the car door for me and buckled my seat belt. Once we got on the road he asked what school I went to and my favorite stuff to do. I felt like I was with a best friend and not my dad because you dad should know stuff about you but I guess you can’t say that about my dad because we just met. When he was done asking all of his questions I asked him about his girlfriend and if he had any animals at his house. He told me a lot of things about her. And he told me he had no pets but he said after a couple of weeks if I were still lonely he would buy me a puppy! That’s something my mom would of done if she was in this spot of taking a new child.

I was so glad to find out my dad wasn’t as bad as I thought he was going to be. It’s just right when I saw his girl friend I had a bad feeling. She was short and had brown hair with a lot of blonde high lights. She wore so much make up. But she was beautiful. I just hope she was really nice, and there was only one-way to find out...........
