I long to see the sun light on your face and tell you time and time again , how much I care. sometimes my heart overflow.
I sing along with my eyes close.

Kim, are you still in bed ?, get up now !... now is already nine , twenty three .... gosh these kids , " I heard mom voice , sounds like she is on the edge of scolding me.
I don't wanna go out today it remains me of the ... um... forget it.
I climbed out of bed as it's high above Delissa bed.
After shower, I went to the living room.
Good morning, " I wish everyone who was present there .
Good afternoon, " Dad said in a teasing tone and I'm not surprised, I turn to him and smile
Before heading to the kitchen .
Your food is in the oven , " Mom said and I nod
Thanks Mom, ".I said as I take out my food from the oven.

After breakfast, I clean the dishes then headed by Ava.
Like what I have been doing for the pass weeks.
We spent most our times reading novels, I was surprised when she first asked me to let us do it often because, my other sisters and sisters in law , don't like reading novels.
God , they do have a problem.
Ava also have a problem, she is very slow at reading but she still reads.
We would send hours doing so , since we don't eat lunch, we spent those times reading too.
My life has improved so far ,I don't spend all my days in my room now , I spent all my days in Ava room.hehe , Dad said its almost the same..

I lay on ava bed as Ava and i read one of my favorite book, CAN YOU MEND MY BROKEN HEART .
I recently download it on my phone so I could read it.
I was so into in that I was startled when Ava said.
Kim call mom now , " I turn to find her holding her babe in her hands with red eyes as she tremble.
Boy , was i so focused into my book.
Keina started to cry and so did ava
Ava push her hands into her baby throat as if she was searching for something.
The baby was struggling to breath.
Ava what are you doing , " I asked in panic but she won't look at me or answer.
Ava. " I call her name in question but still no response.
Ava?"
Ava?"
Ava stop !"
Ava stop she can't breath .
Ava stop!, "I said as I try to get her to stop eventually she did .
What happened, " I asked soon as she stop .keina crys .
She looked at me with teary eyes and it made mine burn as I wait for her to answer.
She then look at her fingers which held blood. I gaps in terrified.
She swallow a screw, " Ava said as she pick up one from the bed and showed me .
It was a one inch screw. Now I look at it , I realize there are many on the bed. And the worst part is that , it has a sharp point.
I need to take her to mom, " Ava said as she pick up her baby and left.
I sat on the bed unable to believe how things moves in a blink of an eye's.
I remember keina smile , her laughters as I heard her cry and I am unable to do a thing.
Kevin isn't home today , he left this morning to go back to work , Dwayne and Jordan left two days ago.
The more I heard her cry , I start to panic, I prey and prayed but her crys gets louder.
**
Few minutes later
I sat on the boat with the baby in my hands , I look across to find Ava crying as she preys.
Keina is nolonger crying instead she is playing with my hair as she smile.
I prey as I try to stay strong , i hate that i felt like i'm losing another person.
It remains me of the story my mom told us yesterday after .
The story about how she lost my older sister, Natasha.
**
We met to the hospital in no time but we had to wait.
What the fuck!
Don't the know what emergency means ?.
After a hour of waiting, they finally calls us.
But yeah the told me to wait outside.
Seated out side i prey as I heard keina crys more like screams .
Keina desperate cries filled the room, highlighting her sense of helplessness."
"The sound of the baby's cry sounded desperate as it echoed through the empty hallways, signaling the urgency of the situation." I seat feeling helpless .
This is why I stay away but now that we are here , i don't wanna let go ,
I only got to spent the last three weeks with her only to lose her now .
No..
As i sit in the waiting room, i remember the last time i was here , it was when Ava was there for a check up and she got to know the babe was a girl to be honest every one was aware Ava felt like she couldn't convince a girl babe after she gave birth to 2 babies before and both was boys so she gave up
When she found out it was a gril she was excited and i was the first person she told the news to.
The last time i went here it was they day you came into this world unexpected only 8 months old but don't let today be they last day your here , i don't want to be the first person to hear about any one death new as specially not you, you have so many more years to see ," i said in a low voice but if anyone did listen to me they would have heard .
She born last year the eight a April , today is the eighteen a April .
Soon they calls me back.
I went in and the told me to hold her down.
Keina looks at me with pleading eyes and ava cry as she held both keina hands as i held her foot down .
Keina screams , my ears hurt but i held on to her foot , though she try to kick.
I look away as my tears will fall if i look at her .
**
The doctors call me to take photos of the exsray,
I look at it an felt even more terrified as the sharp point was , pointed at her side , it was also very close .
The doctors then said they will have to leave for Georgetown hospital if she don't pass it out in twenty four hours. If that time past and still she didn't pass it out then they will have to do a surgery.
*
Later that evening, lost in thoughts, i walk alone on the streets car passing beside me but i don't care even if it hit me or crash me.
Ava and Keina are staying at the hospital.
After half-hour walking , i went by Long yung, I know one look from him, will rest my restless feelings am feeling, I know if only I see him right now , I will forget all those other feelings.
I won't feel scared about losing her .
I would be scared of having him.
And being scared of having him, is better then feeling scare of losing her..
He can make me forget it all , i need him as a friend as my rescuer from all my fears , all my nightmares , all my insecure, all my loneliness, all my --whatever it's that i feel.
I look around and wasn't surprised when i notice he wasn't here .
Since last valentines, i haven't seen his face . I came back often hoping to see him but always got disappointed.

Kim pov
It's been two months since i have last seen his face but am okay, yeah , i am ...kinda , kinda not ..
But it was better this way, he left before it was too late to leave .
He is still a stranger, he isn't a part of me and he didn't broke me when he left . Though last month, i kinda wish on a shooting star.
"I wish we were more then strangers "
It's okay..
These past months have teacher me lessons that i wasn't willing to learn.
Last week, Ava mom die with cancer.
Two days before, one of my mom cousin hang himself.
The lesson this has taught me is that.
People leave yeah , one way or another.
But some fight to stay .
While some just walk away and give up on everything.
Not all that left , left because they wanted too but the had too.
Not everything is in our hands .
They are people who would do anything to stay , like my sister. I remember hearing her plead as she tells her mom how much she wants to live and watch her kids grow.

Today me and Zoey was supposed to go , shool but instead zoey alone gone as I stay in a restaurant.
Mom can't afford both of us school feeds and Zoey mom didn't pay a single dine.
However, her going to school was more important then me , so i agree to this , i won't be going to school.
I grow tired of seated there , so i decides to go visit long yung and see if Yang is there...
