When things fall apart...

This was me.A girl who liked to be around people.A girl who actually  loved meeting people.Everyday,everytime,I was surrounded by people's faces that filled me with love.Life was going so well for me.I loved my life,and i started building my dreams in a way.First,i was 14,i dreamed of being a model.Then,i was 16,i dreamed of being a famous actress.And now i'm 18.All i dream for now is a peaceful,quiet and happy life.

It all started 1 year ago.It was midnight.I was laying in bed just trying to get myself some sleep.It was a peaceful moment.But,in a flash,some voices ruined my peace.

I heard my mother scream and immediatly burst out crying.I stood up and stayed there frozen like a statue.I wanted to go downstairs,and i forced myself to do so,but i was also a bit scared.As i was going down the stairs,i saw my mother unconscious.I accelerated my steps and went near my mother.I could feel tears dripping down and a feeling of anxiety growing up inside my chest.My vision was blurry because of my tears,but i managed to call the ambulance,the best choice i made so far.

The ambulance was there in 10 minutes which seemed like 10 years seeing my mother laying there not making a sound.Later at the hospital the doctors said she was fine and that i might see her.As expected,I immediatly ran to my mother hoping she was okay,as the doctors said.She was okay,physically.Her face expression told me everything.Something was going on,even why she denied it when i asked her the first time.Then i went on for the second time.

- What's wrong mother? Tell me! What is wrong?

- I don't know how to say this sweetie...Your...Um...Father....

- What is it? What happened to father? Tell me!

- H...He...He p...passed...a...away.

My mother said covering her mouth with her right hand.On that moment,the whole world just collapsed in front of my eyes.The white walls of the hospital were getting closer and closer to me.I let darkness take possession of my mind and my body.

I just didn't know where to go,i did not know what to do.My father.My father just passed away? No that couldn't be! He was the man of my life,my first love.Was it that easy to take him away from me? I ran away leaving my mother at the hospital.

I ran and ran and ran when suddenly some black figure appears in front of me making me fall in my back after bumping it or him or whatever the black figure was.I felt a hand go through my waist and another one running through my hair.It was a person,a real one.I just couldn't see him,it sure was pure darkness out there.I was frozen,i stayed on this man's hands for about 3 to 4 minutes.Seemed to me like he was frozen as well to let me stay in his arms for 4 minutes! 

- I'm letting go of you now,just be careful.

His voice was deep.I could hear it go through my head more than 5 times.His soft hands let go of my waist and hair,and he turned back and started walking away.

- Wait! 

He stopped.He took a deep breath like he was about to turn around and confess something but no,he just stayed there,his ears opened for what i was about to say.

-Thank you...For..not letting me...you know,fall.

- You're welcome.

He said again taking a deep breath,one of thr deepest i've ever heard.

- Our ways part here then.Goodnight and,stay safe,watch your steps.

Who was he actually? I was dying to see his face,the face of the man who just caught me from falling in the ground.You know those movies when the man catches the woman and they two fall in love? Well besides the part when they fall in love,this was kinda the same experience as those in the movies,exept way much darker and the boy and the girl never get to see their faces.

I got home nice and thankfully safe to that stranger.My father.I just couldn't forget about him.How? Just how did it happen? I would never know the reason why as my mother would keep it hidden from me for my own sanity. I just couldn't take this no more,so i hoped sleep would propably calm me down a bit,or whatever i just did so. As i was laying my head on my pillow again tears ran through my cheeks,i could feel them burning.I cried myself to sleep tonight,because my father,the man i always thought would be by my side,was now dead,was gone like ashes in the air.
