happy birthday

my dad woke me up today and wanted to take me out all afternoon
so i got up and got ready as fast as i can.
he told me " we aren't in no rush Danny"
i smiled at him and said " OK let me go brush my teeth, and we can go"
he smiled at me and went downstairs to wait

i got downstairs and there was a cake for me " happy birthday Danny!" i was in shock because i wouldn't think he would remember.
we sat and ate the cake and when we finished we got into the car
"well Danny, I'm taking you to the aquarium because i know you love fish," he said. i smiled at him and asked " is mom going to be there?"
"she is already there, we are meeting with her." as we drove off i was staring at the clouds and just started to day dream.

" we are here Danny." my dad said to me. we got out and i saw my mom; so i ran and gave her a hug. we got in line. we got in and first thing i saw was the jelly fish. and my mom and dad was standing behind me holding each other. we walked around for awhile and i saw every fish i wanted to. and after that we went to eat spaghetti ( i love spaghetti ) and while we were eating the people that works at the restaurant brought out a cake and sang happy birthday to me. i was so happy that they thought of that.

and when we got home. my dad told me to get ready for bed. so i did and got into bed and waited for a bedtime story :]
he came into my room and told me to pick a book he wanted me to read. so i picked a book called Caroline. and as he was reading it to me. i was snuggling under his arms. and when he was done. he smiled at me and kissed me goodnight. and turned off the light.

" WAKE UP YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING!" my step dad was yelling at me. " WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING ANYTHING AROUND THE HOUSE!" he slapped me.. and grabbed me by the neck and said " I'm not your dad so don't think I'll love you like he did." he dropped me and walked out of the room. i cried and i went under my bed to grab my book coroline. and inside of it, i had a picture of my dad and a front page of a news paper. " daddy.. why did you have to go?" " DANNY, YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING COME GET MY DINNER READY!" he was screaming from downstairs. i put my book away and wiped away my tears and said " I'm coming.."as i opened the door my mom looked at me with tasteless eyes and pushed me down the stairs.. " hurry up don't make him anymore angry." she said to me.
" OK mom."

when they both went to sleep and i cleaned up everything they wanted me too.. i went back into my room and opened the book and read the letter he left on my birthday.

Danny happy birthday! i love you and i always will. i will never ever leave you alone and never planning on it. you are my sunshine.

-dad

and i picked up the front page of the news paper and it read

a man was in a automobile and his breaks failed on him. and he rolled onto a train track while there was a train heading his way. the doors we're stuck and he was trapped inside.

" dad you never left me, you are just waiting for me on the other side." " I'm coming daddy" and i pulled out a knife i hid under the bed and i put a chair in front of the door. and i sat on my bed with tears in my eyes and i smiled. " daddy I'm coming home." and i closed my eyes and slit my throat. and i was lying there fading into my sleep. i saw my dad in the light waiting for me. as i ran to him. he opened his arms and said " I'm sorry my son i didn't want it to be this way." i smiled and said " dont worry, I'm with you again and that's all that matters." we both walked into the light.
