Chapter 1



~Dream~
“Mama stop tickling us!!!!!!!!!!” we screamed in unison.
“Come on girls!” mama spoke with her elegant voice “Let’s get the house clean before daddy gets home!”
~End of Dream~

‘It’s my birthday today, here in Dawn City’s Good Living Nursing Home.’

I thought to myself lying on my bed. ‘It’s time to see each other again.’


I am Holly M. Smith, I am an elder woman that lived a ‘normal’ life. I have been living lately at this quite nursing home in my room with white painted walls, small bed, with white sheets, a table, a chair, a closet, and old television.
I suddenly heard a knock on the door and someone saying “Good morning Ms. Holly Smith and Happy 65th Birthday.” I slowly sat up on my bed.
It was my dear nurse and friend, Merissa. She is so young and beautiful with her bright smile, her light brown eyes, and her glorious curly brown hair. She continues on “How are you today?”
“I’m feeling very well, thank you, Merissa.” I smiled while she is setting my breakfast on the table and my wheelchair. She came to my side and helped me up to it.
“That’s Great your feeling well. So what would you like to do on your special day?” She asked me while I am eating. She sat across from me and continued “Would you like to play BINGO, or watch movies, or have a special dinner, on…..”. she went on but I stop listening and went though my own thoughts.
Then I interrupted her “May you, please, ask the manager if I may go someplace special today?” I pleaded to her.
Merissa seem surprised. She was quiet for a couple minutes then said “Okay, I will. But why is that?”
I look at her and said “Going to meet an old friend.” She just stared at me for a while. Then she got up and walked out the door, but stop and looked back, smiled, and left. I just continued eating breakfast peaceful knowing she will take care of it.
As soon as she left I thought to myself ‘How much longer will I have to wait to see you again.”




Chapter 2



~Flashback 58 years ago~

It was a stormy night and outside of Dawn City. There was a small house on the side of the mountain near the fields. The home had only a one bedroom and bathroom, and a kitchen/living room.
We lived in that small house just me, my sister, and daddy. During this strong storm when thunder clap it made the house rattle with in the house you can hear the screams of my sister.
“Holly! Holly!” Molly cried out. “Where are you?” I can hear the fear in her voice.
Then lightning struck the house and the lights went out. The sound of the crashing thunder shook the house.
“HOLLYYYYYY!” she started to cry.
I came to her with a lit-candle in my hand and said with a calm soothing voice “Calm down, Molly. There is nothing to worry about daddy will be coming soon.” While trying to pull her out from under the kitchen table and wiped the tears off her eyes.
“How long will the storm last Holly and will daddy be gone?” she seem so scared.
Then I said “Don’t worry about it lets just go to sleep early tonight and we’ll celebrate tomorrow when he’s here.” So we both left the kitchen and went to the our bedroom.
After we prayed, the storm continue, but we got in our small beds.
“Holly are you asleep?” Molly asked still sounding scared.
“No, not yet.” I told her trying to get comfortable.
“I can’t sleep when there is a storm.” she said
I turn to face her and as soon as I saw her. I ask “Do you remember what mama told us?” I closed my eyes trying to see my mommy telling us and I repeated “When there is a storm it is when God is playing a game of bowling with the angels up in heaven. So every time there is a big boom (thunder) that means God got a strike, the flash (lightning) is how big of a hit those pins get from the boling ball, and the raindrops are the angels crying because they are losing the game.”


I then opened my eyes and find Molly with tears in her eyes and a bit of a smile on her lips.

“I don’t remember that you liar.” she said trying to hiding the fact she remembers.
“Yes, you do” I said
“No, I don’t” she said
“Stop pretending” I protest
“No”
“Yes!”
“No!” she screamed and this went on for a while until I finally gave up.
“Fine! Fine, whatever you think just stop.” I said.
After saying that Molly seem sad so I ask “What’s wrong?”
She replied “I miss mommy” then she started to cry.
“Can I sleep in your bed for tonight?”
I just scoot over and said nothing. She just got off her bed and still crying then got on my bed and laid next to me. I dried her eyes and smiled at her. She had her eyes close so I did the same.
Then I hear her say in a low voice “Happy 7th Birthday, Holly.” and I can tell she was smiling back.
“Happy 7th Birthday, Molly, and good night.” I said and we silently fell asleep.

~End of Flashback~

Chapter 3



~Nursing Home~ Merissa’s P.O.V.

“Mr. Thomson, may you please allow Ms. Smith to leave the premises.” I ask Jerry Thomson the manager of the Nursing Home.
“Why should I do that Ms. Martinez?” He ask me while looking at some paper work.
“It’s her birthday today, Jerry.” I said matter-of-factly.
He looked at me and said “So what, if it’s her birthday just let her celebrate here.”
“She doesn’t want to be her.” I told him
“So where does she want to go, in the parking lot.” he said sarcastically.
“No, but-” he cut me off.
“You see, so it won’t matter anyway a birthday it just means someone is one year closer to die.” he said with no emotion within his eyes and went back to work.
I then yelled “ you might not care that it is her birthday, but I do! If you notice that she is the only one in this nursing home that doesn’t have any visitors! She is lonely that’s why she wants to go out! And-”
He quickly stood up and said “Look Ms. Martinez, can you tell me what she is going to do once she is out.”
“She wants to see someone.”
He then sat down and asked “Who will take her?”
“I will and Chip, sir.”
“Fine, you may take her, but if something happens to her you will be responsible.” he inform me and went back to work.
“Thank you, Jerry!” I said cheerfully. When I was about step out his office.
He ask “ Where is she going and who is her friend?” but before he stop me I was already gone. To prepare, but I did wonder “Who is this friend?”



Chapter 4



Holly’s P.O.V.

“ I miss those simple times,” I spoke to myself, still remembering what happen back then. “but what happened the next morning. I wish it never came.”

~Flashback 58 years ago~

I woke up the next morning and went to the kitchen to start making breakfast. As soon as I was done making the eggs and bacon. I went to wake up my dad, but he wasn’t sleeping on his couch. (We couldn’t afford a bed for him.)
Molly came from the behind me asking “Where’s daddy?’
I was going to answer her until we heard a knocking on the door. I started walking to the door, but Molly ran and open it first.
She yell “Welcome home daddy!?” with a big smile on her face which quickly disappeared.
There was a tall man standing at the door with a tan trench coat. He smiled and said “ Hi, can I speak to your mom?” Molly was to shy to answer, so I step
forward.
“Hello, who are you?” I said looking up at the man.
“My name is Steven Parker, a police officer, may you please get your mom for me.” He ask me. I just simply blush.
“We don’t have a mom.” Molly quickly said, and I glared at her in a way that made her step back.
“Oh, um is there some one older I can speak to?” He asked
So I came a step forward and told him “No, I’m the oldest. Is there something you need?” trying to seem older and more responsible.
After saying that I see that Steven laughing then I hear Molly giggling.
Then he calmed down and said still holding a big grin “Very funny kid, but I meant someone really old.”
I glared at him for a while and said seriously “I am the oldest.”
Steven seem uneasy now “Oh, well can you tell me if your father is John D. Smith?” he ask.
I yell “Yes! Did something happen to him?! Is he ok?!” I was panicking at that time and trying to calm myself down.
Molly held me down from running through out the house and said “You must calm down and focus, Holly, and we must stick together no matter what.” so I did.
“May you two come with me to the police station.” Steven ask.

~End of Flashback~

So Steven took us to the police station and told the girls what had happen. It turns out that their father had a heart attack on the way home. They were left to live wither their relatives.
“I remembered living with my aunts and uncles, which also each and every one of them died. Up to the part until it was only me and Molly left with the “Smith” name in Dawn City.” I thought to myself “ I vow to protect Molly from anything that harmed her. Until I came to the point where she couldn’t handle it 8 years later on our 16th birthday.”



Chapter 5



~Nursing Home~

While I was daydreaming I heard a knock on the door. I turn to see that it is Merissa coming in.
“Hello Holly, you won’t believe it, Jerry said you may go see your friend.”
“That’s great,” I said “because I’m already to go.” I moved closer to her.
“Well, we’re ready for you.” she came behind me and started pushing me to the lobby.
“So, Merissa, are you coming along?” I ask hoping she will. We were exiting the building already.
“Yes, I’m your birthday nurse for the day.” she said as we got to the parking lot. “Oh, Holly, where are we going to meet this friend?” as she heads to this small white Van with the name of the nursing home written on the side in turquoise.
“I’ll direct you to the place.” I would her when I saw her face she seem curious and suspicious.
She then said “Oh, very well then.” accepting what little information I gave her. Once we got to the van there was this young male nurse waiting. He help me up to the van’s back seat, while Merissa was putting away the wheelchair.
“Thank you, young man.” I said to the young, blonde, green eyes, muscular, handsome male nurse as he set me down.
“No problem, Ms. Smith.” He said.
“If you won’t mind by me asking,” he nod his head “What is your name?” I ask
