Two Is Better Than One

Chapter Two

I'm now in Fith grade and it's been five years,since I left North Carolina Ridged Way Elementary. My dad put me in a little private school,twenty minutes away from home. Although it was a better and more high dependable. I still got bullied and Emmett couldn't afford to switch to a private school. Even though we were far apart, my father took me to the playground every other week to see him. Until middle school started.  My father was diagnosed with cancer,and had to travel four hours just to get treated. I was stuck home with no way to the park to see Emmett,when I needed him the most. It was hours before we got a response from his doctor. He told us, my Father will last until Christmas. So make it special for him. I choked up in tears and threw myself on the floor. Just begging on my knees for God to heal my dad. I had no where to go and no one to turn to. Time was ticking and I became depressed. On Christmas day,we had a celebration for my father. I couldn't sleep that night and something felt off. I jumped out of bed to check on my dad. "Dad? " I said quietly. "Dad are you awake?" I looked around and mother was gone.  "Dad, where's mom? " Still no response from him. "Dad?  ..." I moved his blanket away from his face. And his eyes were closed and he wasn't breathing. I screamed in my head,  "Oh My God" shaking like crazy and flipping out. I walked out of the room. "MOM!!!!" as tears just pouring down my face.  I ran outside,"MOM!?!?" "Daddy's Dead!!!!!!" "MOM?!?" She was no where to be found. I ran back in the house to find mom's purse on the floor. I grabbed her cell phone and called the police. "Hello?! Please help me, my mom ran away and my dad died PLEASE!!!" I couldn't catch my breath and panicked. "Where are you located ma'm? " "two ten thirty nine Gallos Road." But before I could respond to the next question. I fainted and passed out on the ground.
