Driving to her elderly patient's house, Samantha kept sliding a look at Allen, wondering what must be going through his mind. Having fought off Kay should definitely have him thinking of something, but she couldn't tell. "Dwayne? do you think your father will be home now? Allen asked."Yes, he should be home" He replied."Then tell me his home address, my car's GPS can find it" Dwayne told Allen his father's home address and he input it in the GPS and continued driving. Allen noticed Samantha's gaze on him."Doll? Is everything okay? he asked, looking forward as he drove. "Everything is never okay, we just live the day as it comes and goes" she replied, looking out the window. "Why? you know what, we will talk about this later, after we drop off Dwayne" He said.~~~~~~~~~~~~~Allen drove one more hour before he got to the old man's house. Dwayne was the first to step down from the car, and then Samantha and Allen followed.Dwayne walked to the door to find it ajar. He walked in,

Allen had put his fear for water at the back of his mind, just to see Samantha smile and loosen up. Now that he looks at her being agile and smiling, he realised that he made the right choice bringing her to the beach. "Come on Allen, Join me! Samantha yelled from where she stood. The waves were becoming noisy, so she had to yell for Allen to hear her properly. Samantha wanted to make Allen join her in the water by all means. She walked farther into the water, because that will definitely make him come after her. Allen watched Samantha, with frantic worry written all over his face."Samantha! please stop this and come out now!! he yelled, but the waves was too strong, so she couldn't hear him properly.Allen watched Samantha moving farther into the water. He put both hands on his head, thinking of what to do. He had no choice but to go after her, with his heart pounding with fear.....;Allen was at the edge of the water, staring at it for a while, thinking wether to go back or go f

Samantha was in her room, packing her bags for her trip. She heard the door open."Nancy! is that you? she asked."Yes Samantha, it's me. Give me a minute, I I'll come to your room"Nancy walked to her own room, put her purse down. She took off her jacket, walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge. She brought out a gallon of water, poured some in a cup and took a drink. She put the water back in the fridge, washed the cup and put It back in the cupboard. She walked straight to Samantha room to see her packing her bag. "Sammy? what's going on, why are you packing? she asked."I want to go to my parent's house. I need to see them, I miss them" Samantha said, as she stopped folding her clothes.Nancy sat on the bed beside Samantha."Samantha? is something wrong? why do you want to go to your parents all of a sudden. Is anyone sick? Nancy asked."No Nancy, none of my parents are sick. I just want to go see them, spend some time with them and talk like we used to" "Can I come with you

Allen let Samantha's mother pull him into the house. He was grateful to her, for coming at the right time because he didn't want to leave. Her mother coming to pull him into the house was a perfect excuse. As he walked into the living room, Allen saw Samantha's father, and was shocked. He turned to look at Samantha and she shook her head. So this was the reason for her sadness. He knew it, he knew something definitely happened to her father. This didn't look like he just had dislocation, it was something more, and Allen felt sad for her. Her mother beckoned on Allen to have a seat. Allen took a seat, one that was very close to her father."Welcome to our humble abode, Allen. Let me get you something to drink" her mother said, before dashing off to the kitchen.Samantha sat on the left hand side of her father, while Allen was sitted on his right hand side. She looked into her father's eyes and could see the questions in them. If he was hale and hearty, Samantha knew he was going to pou

Allen knew, that his sister could sometimes read him like a paper. He tried to keep his expression worry free, so she wouldn't figure anything out. "Nothing is wrong, Juanita. Why do you always think that something is wrong, whenever I suggest something good" he said, trying to avoid her gaze.Juanita shrugged and walked into her room. Allen called Darla, to come sit beside him. She ran to him quickly, smiling and sat down close to him."Darla? I want you to take good care of mom. Make sure that you two stay on vacation for a month. I know she may want to come back after one or two weeks, but make sure you insist on completing the vacation, do you understand? And remember to call me if she insists on coming back""I will, uncle Allen. I will make sure we stay on vacation for a month. I can't wait to have fun and tell you and my Friends about all the fun I will have" She said, then ran inside to her mother.Allen watched Darla leave and smiled. She was the smartest Ten year old he ha
