I find
a room to lie down in. I just lay there to think for a bit and get my bearings.
Grace walks in the room and lies next to me. “You haven’t asked about Enrique.”
Grace says to me. “I know. That was not an accident and no I have not forgotten
about him. 5 years is a long time, figured he was dead or married.” I tell her.
“Do you care where he is?” She asks me. “Should I?” I ask Grace. She lays
next to me completely silent for a moment. “I think you should.” She replies.
“How about we take a nap and talk about this later. Today has been a lot.” I
tell her. She nods and gets comfortable.
“Cahira, I wish I knew if you could hear me. I really need you right now. I
think I am turning into them. They tell me to just focus on the anger inside of
me but they don’t understand that……… my anger is hard to put away once it is
out. Cahira I need you please come back to me, I need you more now than ever,
wake up!” I hear Percy voice calling to me in my sleep. I can hear him as if he
is next to me whispering in my ears. “Little warrior.” I hear Hope’s voice and
I open my eyes to see her. She puts her finger over her lips for me to not wake
Grace. She grabs me by the hand and takes me to the window. She opens the
window and climbs out. I look back at Grace who is still sleeping.
She hands me a jacket. “Follow me.” She says as she starts to walk toward
the gates. I follow her to the gate and she starts to climb over with
such ease. I follow her and climb over to. I am not sure where she is going.
Hope stops at a parked car. I look at her. “Listen to me; there are a lot of
things in this life I could not control. I had to always work with the hand I
was dealt. For you I wanted so much more. That was why I left you with your
parents. They found out when you were in the coma that you were my daughter.
They promised not to take you; but they how ever wanted to speak to you one on
one without any interference.” Hope says as she looks over at the black town
car. Well let’s see what they have to say.
