October 2008
Mom had finally unpacked all the boxes we had into our new apartment. My room was filled with soccer ball wallpaer. I felt like an eight year old, but.I like it though. carlos has been going out to the courts on a daily basis. He must love basket ball. I like going out side to play with damian. We always played soccer. He passes it to me like i pass it to him. It was fun.
Holloween was coming up and mom knew I wanted to be a dead kid zombie, but convincing her that buying a nice suite and cutting it up was a bit harder then charming her with huggs and kisses, but when she finaly said I could we set out on a hunt to find the cheapest suite at big o lots.
we shopped through the store mom found a nice mon it was black. I wanted grey cause you can see the blood more on it.
I told her the black would do. I wasn't about to be picking with her. It took me a lot of hard work to get her to let me be a dead kid zombie this year.
After buying It I wanted to see dad. "mom! mom!" she looks over at me laughing "what?" Im practily bouncing out of my seat "can we go see dad?!!?" she looked at me and I knew it was a yes.. Im telling you moms and there looks. no words need to be said.
Mom was hungry from shopping, she pulled in the drive through window of wendys. "you hungry son?" I didn't want to waste any time here and spend less time with dad. "no" I said calmy. didn't want to miss comunicate cause we might not end up going to see dad.
Mom got a burger and some frys. I couldnt wait to tell dad about me being a zombie kid for holloween. Mom decided to eat at the hospital. We get out of our suv and mom grabs her food. hopping out to excited I fall out. "careful hun" I wasn't hurt, she knew that. But she showed she cared.
Walking down the hall on the way to dads room. theres these really tall crates that hold food. I saw one It had chicken, now that I thought about it i was hungry I should have gotten some food. Mom was still signing us in.
Peaking in my daddy's room. He doesn't see me. I try my hardest to sneak in. My foot steps were to loud. He turn's my way. "sam!" He smiles and holers "DADDY!!!!" I give him the biggest hug ever. He pick's me up and sets me on his lap.
"daddy! daddy!" I start to get excited I couldn't wait for him ask me why! just before I open my mouth a lady comes in. "hi" she says "hi" my daddy says. she brought him a huge plate of spaghetti. It looked so yummy and i was hungry.
My dad noticed that I was looking at it with lit eyes and mouth drolling. "lets eat son?" I look at him licking my lips and nodding my head "im hungry. mommy stopped at wendys, but I didn't wanna get any food" Im telling him as I grab the fork lift it up and sause falls on my blue shirt "it looks like blood" my dad said. my eyes widen even more. Remembering the whole reason Im here. "daddy! mommys letting me be a dead zombie kid for holloween!" I say with so much excitment.
"Oh really" he looks out towards the door. My moms head is popped in. "really" he says to her "ya only cause he begged" walking forward to my dad "good job bud. Way to work the childhood" he tells me while im eating the spaghetti with my fingers. All I could think aboout where would people make such mushy food and eat it! "dad wheres spaghetti from?" he looks at me laughing still at my mom for letting me be zombie kid. "italy son" my face puzzeld "rome son. Its not he other side of the world and It has the most beautiful sights to see" he begins to explain how beautiful it was everytime he was there. "wow!! I wanna go to rome!! promise we can go to rome daddy?" i say resting my head on his chest. Feeling full from eating too much spaghetti. "Yeah son I promise" he says as hes kissing my forehead. then looking at mom with a distoreded smile. Lipping i love you.
