Yay (original) (raw)

As fast as her little feet could carry her she stumbled on the cruel pavement with tears streaking down her face.

Mom watched as she picked herself up and dusted herself off but not to be dertered by her dash to the bus. Taking off once again at a fast pace, she made it in time just to catch the number 5. The long time driver; Micheal recognized the little girl. Annabelle had ridden the bus more than once with her Mom to the nursing home.

Micheal looked over his shoulder to see a frantic Mom start to come dashing after her daughter as she climbed up into the bus; while she was staring wide eyed into the bus driver with innocent tears streaking down her face.. "Please, Can you take me home?"

How can you resist a face like that; Micheal thought. Christy; Annabelle's mom just turned the corner of the bus at that moment to appear in the doorway and said.. "Come on honey, I think Grandma might be up to a visit IF we don't Stay long"..

With a heavy sigh Annabelle stepped down off the bus and put her arms around her Mommas neck and curled into her body as they turned back towards the nursing home. Christy could feel a few tears still escape down onto her neck as Anna tried to be tough for Grandma's sake.

On the outside of the the nursing home was well kept garden; a flourish of orchids, pansies and roses. Anna asked momma if she could stop and pick one to take to Grandma. Christy stopped and glanced around. Not knowing for sure if it would be ok she put her daughter down and gave her the go ahead.

Watching as a smile spread across her face like the sunshine would across a dark meadow Anna considered what flower would be the best one to take. Moving from one to the next down the row she stopped at a red rose bush and reached into it to grab hold of one from the top, bending it, with a few scrapes on her arm it came off in a perfect snap.

Looking back at Momma she showed her the prize flower to take to Grandma. Now they were ready to go Anna thought. Everything would be Ok.

Everyone seemed to be busy today Anna and Christy said to each other while they walked down the halway leading to the right just off from the front door. Knocking gently Grandma was resting in a chair looking out the window.. she seemed far away. Anna looked up at Momma and she looked worried.

"Mom. I brought Annabelle to see you today.. she brought you something.." Still there was no real reaction.

Annabelle walked over to Grandma and touched her hand, at that moment Grandma looked down at Anna, and back out the window. "Im not feeling good. My time is running out."

Tears stared forming again and falling down Anna's cheeks.. down her face and onto the perfect rose that she held for Grandma.

"But I love...."

Grandma looked back. She seen the look on Annabelle's face. She seen the tear stained rose; the hurt in the innocent childs eyes. How could you ever want to hurt someone you love and something so beautiful like that?
