Diane

they were trying to have for years. But every day after work my mom, aunt and grandma helped me tidy up and close it. I usually opened the shop after school so I could have time for both, and balance everything.  More people started to come to my place, at some point that they even waited in front of the centre just to wait for me to return from school.  

 Then one day something unexpected happened. A news reporter came to my place and asked me to come to her studio and do an interview. I got excited and agreed immediately. Then I went to the hospital one day. I brought my dad his favourite sweets, which were smarties. They were his favourite candy since he was a kid. I also got him a gift which was a handmade from me family album, he started examining it. He chuckled when he saw a picture of me, little sissy and him eating the viral candy called ‘jelly belly candy’ (we never had the good candy they were always gross which was the fun part). He chuckled turned to me and asked if I had remembered. I had also bought the same candy from the story and gave it to him. He snored and then laughed holding the candy. We tried every kind of candy expect one. We gulped and put the candy in our mouths. Then suddenly blubbery for the first time in years trying to get the tasty candy we finally did. I turned to dad and told him this was his luck. He smiled politely and hugged me. We started talking about our lives since he got in the hospital. I told my dad everything, about my magic, about mom, grandma and my aunt.

Of course, I didn’t forget sissy. He got a little upset because he was feeling helpless about not helping and not being there for us when we needed him. . .

He was pale, had dark circles under his eyes and machines attached to him. They had shaved his head for the chemotherapy. He tried to act like he was fine, so he wouldn’t scare or upset me. I hugged him and told him that he will get cured.   I promised him. Trying to hold my tears I kissed his cheek We chatted for a while. Afterwards I left. When i came back home I took a long and steamy shower. My head was racing with so many thoughts, my people, God, my abilities, my future death but after all I was excited for the interview. When I came out the shower i got my interview clothes on for tomorrow and went to help with dinner. At the dinner table everyone was proud, happy and most of all excited for my interview. The interview was going to air in whole America on the news channel. Auntie, sissy, mom and auntie didn't stop giving me ideas what to wear or how to do my hair. My mom even offered to do my hair.
