Derek had taken me back to his house. Where he treated my wounds, he was really good at it. He said he wanted to become a doctor when he was older. I told him I want to fly when I'm older. He told thats what pilots do...

  But I don't want to fly in an airplane... I wanted it to be a kite...

  Just at that moment his parents had came back. I just sat on the couch holding my kite to my chest as I watch Derek talk to his parents about me spending the night.

His parents looked at me. I think I was scared or something because I started shivering. His mother nods her head at me and walks into the kitchen. Derek's father approaches me, and try my best to sink further into to the couch to get away from his hand that reaches to get me. Derek's father nods and pulls away from me as I stare at him with fear-filled eyes.

Derek sits next to me and gives me a small smile. I smile back but I kept my guard up for I never may know what will happen next. Derek's mom then comes back into the living room with a bowl full of soup and a spoon. She hands it to me and gives me a smile. She then reached out to touch my face, but I get scared and lean away from her. Her hand dropped back to her side and she walks back into the kitchen.

  I eat the soup, which is chicken noodle. Its delicious, might I add, homemade as well. Derek watchs me eat my soup little by little.  He gives me this look of curiosity as if questioning why I'm eating so slow.

So I answered him", Its because we have to enjoy our meal while we can, because you never know when your next meal could be your last."

Derek eyes widen in shock that I had finally said a word. But he then nods and stares at the walls as if they seem interesting.  Which they kinda are, for they have clouds painted on the sky blue colored walls.

I set my bowl down on the coffee table in front of me and imagined I was flying in the sky with my kite. Where the winds are perfect and the clouds as soft as a gently breeze. And then there I am standing on a cloud flying my kite only to then fly with it as I looked at the world below. Crossing land, landforms of every kind, and big blue oceans. And the feeling I could fly forever!

   Only to have my day dream with the sound of my name beginning called. I looked around and saw Derek on the stairs motioning his hand for me to follow. I nodded at him and drag my kite with me up the stairs but not the heavenly kind....
