My name is Shaun Amber. I have very nice parents. My mom's name is Scarlett Amber. She is very talkative. My Dad is Spencer Alec. He is just the opposite of my Mom. I also a have a cute little sister, Siya Alec who is 2 years younger than me. This is my story.
Everyday, I wake up by mom's loud voice from the kitchen as she is speaking to Aunt Amy. She is one of Mom's best friends.
They keep talking to each other every morning!
I get down from my bed and walk to my sisters' bed and gently cover her with the blanket that she threw down during her sleep. She looks so cute.
I go out of the room gently closing the door so as not to wake up my sister. As I walk to the kitchen rubbing my eyes, I find my Mom sitting by the dining table eating her breakfast with a cup of coffee by her side. I tug at her night dress drawing her attention to me.
"Mom..."
"Good morning kiddo! " She whispers picking me in her arms and making me sit on her lap. This is so nice. Mom smells very nice.
"How was your sleep? "
"Nice." I nod and I was rewarded by a smooch from my mother. I like it when Mom does that!
As were talking to eath other, my dad who finally came home from the business trip, immediately runs into the kitchen and kisses my mother right in front of me. Hmph! She is my mom! Only I can kiss her.
"Hey Scar! "
"Spencer... you are back. " My mom gently puts me down and hugs him very tightly as they dive in for another kiss. Ugh!
"How's my little girl doing? "He asks very eagerly.
"Your little girl is still sleeping in! "My mom replies with a smile.
" I see. I will go see her. " He runs to our bedroom.
Apparently, I don't exist in my father's world cause he never talks to me and I don't talk to him. He only speaks to my sister and though being her brother, I don't like the fact that she get all my parents attention.
I pout to myself distressed but smile quickly as nothing is going to change.
I walk to the bathroom, get freshed and go beck to the living room and see my dad, mom and sister sitting happily on the sofa watching a movie.
"..." It happens.
I move towards the refrigerator, take out a chocolate and pop it into my mouth to digest the sour feeling.
They 3 seem to be cuddling each other totally forgetting me. I go to the garden out side my house and start walking and wandering when I finally realise that I have lost my way.
Panic and fear fills me making me shiver. I... Tears roll down my cheeks and my knees go week. Mommy.. where are you? Daddy... Daddy.. please come for me... Please... I cry out with my head in between my knees.
I feel a tap on my shoulder, and I look up to find my sister staring at me with her mouth open. I gasp finally feeling alive. Atleast somebody is there for me.
"Brother... why are you crying? " She asks me sweetly which makes my tears rush out wildly.
"Nothing." I smile at her with my tears flowing out. I gently pick her up in my arms slowly which was actually difficult but I should atleast be acting as her brother. She giggles making herself comfortable in my arms when I hear her saying the route. Tsk! My little sis knows the way better than me. How pathetic.
I finally found my house which was just opposite to the lane in which I was before.
I slowly put her down and walk towards my room with my head down so that my parents won't notice me.
"Stop." I hear a deep voice which makes me startled and so afraid. I slowly turn around still looking at the floor.
"Daddy." I say barely audible to even myself when I felt his finger slowly lift my face up to meet his frowning gaze. Oh no! Will he beat me?
"Daddy I was wrong. I won't go out of the house from now on. I am sorry. Please dont beat me. Please. " I say with my eyes shut and hands tightly grasping my clothes. I feel his thumb pause and gently slide over my eyes.
"Look at me. " I look up with fear.
"Shaun... my boy... what happened? Why are you crying?" I heard him asking gently to which the dam broke down once again either due to the panic which I felt when I couldn't find my way or because of his voice. My tears gushed out as I was crying very hard. I was then pulled into my dad's arms... so strong and secure. I wish I would get hugged like this every day!
"Hey Champ! What happened? Don't cry ok? Daddy is here for you. Tell me what's wrong? Did anyone beat you? I make them regret their life. Shaun... "
I heard him speak so many words for the first time. I stared at him blankly...
I heard my mom running and then hug me tightly.
"Baby... Are you okay? Is there anything wrong? Tell Mom and Dad ok? " Mommy... I smile happily... This is so nice... I simply forgot all the fear.
"Brother was lost. I found him crying on the road sitting down on the road. He also told me to not tell you that he was crying. " My sister brutally exposed whatever happened making my cheeks turn red. I glared at her but she just rolled her eyes. Cute... my face! She is so annoying!
My mother finally relaxed at brought me back to my bed and laid me down. She then slipped next to me and smiled at me.
"Don't be scared okay? If you were lost we would definitely find you. After all we can't leave our lucky charm alone. From now on, you are not allowed to cry ok? Mom and dad are there for you. " She whispered gently while hugging me. I nod and I feel my Dad slide underneath the bedsheet, wrapping his arms around me and my mom.
"Champ! If anyone did beat you, tell me their name, I will beat the hell out of them for sure! Nobody can make my little boy cry except me. What do you say Shaun? " I heard him ask me to which I just nodded.
"Me! Me! " My sis shouted before jumping right on us and my dad caught her perfectly in his arms. He's got a lot of practice with my mom. I slowly lean towards my moms cheek and give her a small kiss which brings a smile on her and then my face.
"Thank you mom! "
I feel my dad's kiss on my head which makes me even more happier.
"Thank you Daddy! "
"And Thank you Siya! "
"Hehehe... You are welcome. "
This is my family... My lovely ones. They care about me and share my problems. Happy to have such a beautiful family.
