‘This is excruciating.’ Amore thought as she walked up to a big tree that was surrounded by thick bushes. She could not walk anymore. They have been walking for a while now and were pretty far from that house. She slides down against the tree instantly closing her eyes out of exhaustion and fell asleep.Amore woke up to the drizzle of rain falling on her face. She looked next to her seeing Caity still asleep. “Caity…Caity.” She shook Caity trying to wake her up.Caity instantly sat up rubbing her eyes.“Yes?” Caity asks questionly.“We need to go. Come on. "Amore slowly stood up grunting from the pain running through her body. Caity stood up using the tree as support. They slowly walked further through the forest until they finally reached a favela. Gray clouds covered the sky while the hills were hidden under the fog, the weather befitting of Amore's and Caity's mood. As they walked through the narrow street, many tangled electrical wires ran above their heads from one house to ano
The next morning the sun made its appearance again. Smiling down at the earth with its warm beams, leaving kisses behind on everyone’s skin. Amore woke up to screams between a man and woman outside in a foreign language. She looked next to her at Caity. Caity had long black hair and dark tanned skin. She can't help being tough on Caity. She wanted them both to get out of here alive. She shook Caity on the shoulders to wake her up. Caity slowly opened her eyes and then yawned while she stretched her arms above her head. “You coming with me or what is your plan?” Amore asked Caity directly.“I am coming with you,” Caity replied rapidly, not even thinking twice. She knew she would not survive on her own.Amore nodded then stood up. “Okay, come… let’s go!”They walked through the streets getting all types of stares. An elderly man sat on the steps outside of his house, looking intensely at the two girls walking up to him. “Hi, sir, can you please tell us where the police station is,” Am
‘Rochelle Mead' Once said, “Life and death were so unpredictable. So close to each other. We existed moment to moment, never knowing who would be the next to leave this world.”“Will this be my moment? Will this be my time to leave this world? Will this be how my story ends? Will this be the last time I will hear Nathan’s voice?” Amore thought to herself as she looked down at the phone and ended the call with Nathan. She slided the phone up her sleeves hoping Nathan would track the phone in time. Amore turned around watching everything slowly unfold in front of her. The two officers were standing at the door. Caity's eyes grew wide as she looked at the other gang men behind the officers. ‘I know Amore told me to be strong, but… but… I can’t fight… I am not ready to die… I still want to do so much with my life… ‘ Caity thought to herself.Amore turned toward Caity and watched her face filled with horror. “Amore… please please do something” Cathy mouthed to Amore pleadingly. Tears rol
Choices … You only get one chance… One chance, to make the correct one. If you make the wrong one you can't reverse time and change it. Unfortunately, we are given the privilege to get the chance to make choices… yeah and look how great that turned out for us…Amore looked at Carter horrified. “You must be joking?”“I never joke. Come on Amore, I don't have all day!” Carter looked at her annoyed.“Carter are you sick? Your talking about taking someone's life?" Amore looked nervously back and forth between Caity and Clara. How could she possibly choose? The thought made Amore sick to her stomach.Carter looked down at his watch tapping his finger on it… “ I don't get you, Amore… This thing here.” Garry came forward handing Carter his gun, Carter reached out and took it, raising it sideways at Clara. Clara tightly closed her eyes… expecting the bullet to hit her at any second. “She…sold you out… but you still can't kill her. Micheal, why is my hand so itchy today?" Carter looked at Mich
‘I found my soulmate, I found my true love, I found my one and forever, and now I may lose her forever.’ Nathan thought back to a quote he once read as he sat next to Amore's bed, holding onto her hand while the constant heart monitor echoed in the background.A week has passed. After the surgery, they transferred Amore back home. According to the doctor in Rio, the surgery was a success. Amore was shot in the chest on her right side, one of her lungs collapsed and they had to give her a blood transfusion. Likely Dr. Martin was there to donate his blood to her. According to Dr. Martin and the other doctors, she should have already woken up, but she was still in a semi-coma. “Son, please. You need to eat something and get some sleep. When is the last time you bathed? Look at your clothes… I will sit with her until you get back. I promise I will not leave her side. Just, please go take a bath and get some sleep, you look terrible.” Nathan's mom said as she stood by the hospital door lo
The greatest gift you can receive is another day of life. Live for today and dream for tomorrow. “Shhh, Carolyne not so loud…!” Amore said while holding onto her head.“I…I need… I need to get the doctor…” Carolyne screamed as she jumped out of the chair and ran out of the room shouting for a doctor.Rachel quickly ran out of the bathroom as she heard the commotion in the room, almost having a heart attack. Nathan jumped off the couch almost tripping over his feet as he ran toward Amore. Nathan stopped a foot away from Amore, surprised.“Amore?” He walked towards her as the tears ran down his cheeks… he leaned over her and gently hugged her. “Thank goodness!!! You scared me to death. Don't you ever, ever, ever do that again?” Nathan spoke with his mouth against Amore's hair.“Shhh…" She patted him on the back.“Nathan… water please…” Amore said in a hoarse voice.Rachel, walked forward throwing her a glass of water. “Here darling.”Nathan released Amore from the hug so Rachel could
‘Every minute, every second you fixed your eyes on your loved ones is a blessing, even if it’s only a glance.’Miano walked toward Amore and stopped next to her bed. At first glance, he knew this was his daughter. Amore was a spitting image of Rose. Miano's eyes welled up with tears as he looked down at HIS daughter. Who would have imagined, that he of all people would have a daughter? That day when Isabel left him, she left with his heart. He could not bear to be with anyone else but her, and now he is looking at their daughter. So how does one describe this feeling? This amazing, but also painful feeling of meeting your daughter for the first time. Painful, because he never got the chance to experience what it was like to hold her when she was born, to feel the tremendous love that fills your heart when you hold that amazing tiny little person in your arms for the first time, he never got the chance to see the first time she laughed, cried, got hurt… but the most unbearable part is k
Nathan walked into the room, seeing Amore asleep. Carolyne looked up from her phone seeing Nathan enter.“Is she sleeping?” Nathan asked Carolyne in a whisper tone.“Yeah… I am also going to head home. I'll see you tomorrow,” Carolyne said then got up from her seat, “Okay, see you then. Thank you for watching over her while I was out.” Nathan said while looking at Amore, “You don't have to thank me, Nathan. Amore is family. I will do anything for her, see you tomorrow … bye,” Caroline said then walked out of the room. Nathan sat down on the chair next to Amore's bed. Finally, they were alone… he leaned forward and then closed his eyes as he ran his hands through his hair. “Hey… there…?” Nathan heard that beautiful voice he loves. Nathan opened his eyes and stared into Amore's captivating blue eyes. “Hey… beautiful. How are you feeling?” Nathan asked while taking Amore's hand into his.Amore pouted, “I missed you, please come lay next to me.”Nathan looked worriedly at Amore, “I
