Fighter, Page 2

  Last night I dreamt that Libby was better that she was fine. I dreamt of Jörvi coming back to me and loving me again I dreamt that my parents were back together. But really if my mind thinks like that I'm delusional. My friends just thought I moved, my dad didn't mention that I was homeless. Bettý was my best friend's name she was sweet and smart and the top of our study group. We went shopping and sailing and took my sister places. We lived in Hafnarjordur, that was home and we knew no different. We had the most beautiful and modern school. But now my family we camped out in Kopavagur.

  My life just flipped upside down when that stupid woman came out of nowhere and stole my father.But now I have to live with her here in my dad's massive castle.I just don't know what kind of person would do that,but then again I was the most sheltered child in the world. It won't be easy eating breakfast with her or so much as sitting at the same table. With her big fake boobs and dyed blonde hair and terrible perfume. I just want to slap her,but then my father would kick me straight out because she would tell him to.Then where would I go back to the streets I went from filthy rich to dirt poor in less than a week. Dumped out on the street like garbage with no cash no clothes either than what we were wearing. That is how unkind my father was he loved us until he met that witch of a person Stefánný.

  I drowsily taking off the corner of my sheet. I slipped on my robe and made my way to the bathroom. I opened the door and walked in. The bathroom was beautiful and it had marble floors and sinks It had a jocose and a very expensive looking shower. As I stared in amazement I slipped off my clothes and walked towards the shower. I open the door. I had seen this type of shower before in a catalogue it was a rain forest shower with sound affects. I remember begging my father for it but he only had for filled his promise while I was gone ,that's disappointing. But can I blame him my mom did over react and gave him all her money and everything.

  I was really hoping that my father would come back for us but after two years I just stopped believing it. My sister's condition must be getting worse and worse . How could I be taking a shower when my sis ter is fighting for her life. There's no medicine on the street that could help her. I know my father has a cure all the 'rich folk' do its the classes code. The poor get nothing, the middle class get a bit and the rich get it all. Having my father be a rich man it would be enough to get a cure for Libby. I don't know why he hasn't given it to me yet so I can leave. Elizabeth was my only sister and was not going to let a disease take her away from me.

  Sure,I had a little brother but Libby was around longer. I love her and I love my mom and my little brother and even mabye my father, but by the time I got back Libby would probably be dead. I can't et this happen she's only seven years old. I really want to be the one dying insted of her she might forget a bout it when she's older but if she dies on me I won't be able to forgive myself. I just ran away from her like a scared kitten. Who know's she could be dead now the disease is getting worse. I wouldn't want to live anymore if Libby died I would be nothing. I would be stuck with my mother.

  Or worse my father. Stuck with Stefánný.

  But I couldn't give up I went down for breakfast and Stefánný was sitting at the enormous dinning room table very cosy with my father.I walked a little closer to the table he looked at me with that same hurt look he gave my mother when she broke it off with him. And I wondered why but then I saw a piece of paper with my face on it .

  WANTED

  JUDITH PLAUS

  WANTED FOR :

  - CAR THEFT

  -THEFT

  -VANDALISM

  -ASSULT

  My father only said one thing to me.

  "GET OUT!!!" he screamed at me.

  I ran out the door but first I raised my middle finger to Stefánný. I grab a huge wad of cash and yell...

  "KISS MY ASS"

  I don't know why I said that but I did. And I ran.

  I felt such a rush.I felt so powerful for once I didn't care what he thought of me I was free. Now that I had my cell phone back I could call anyone to explain where I was for two years no sugar coating no nothing.Now he's reputation would have to go , and the whole country would know how terrible he is.

  Like I even believed that my mom gave all our money away. She had a baby on the way why would she do that. My father is such a liar. I thought I could tell him that.I pulled out my cell and dialed him up. He answered. "HEY DAD, YOU ARE SUCH A TERRIBLE PERSON, YOU THROW ME OUT BECAUSE I STOLE. I DID IT TO SURVIVE WE HAD NO MONEY HOW DO YOU THINK WE EVEN SURVIVED!"

  "Judith I'm so sorry."

  "SAVE IT YOU,AND YOU BLONDE MONSTER DESERVE EACH OTHER! I HATE YOU GOODBYE!"

  I hung up. I really did care. I was really mad. Now what was I going to do I'm still don't have wealthy status how was I going to get the cure.It was over Libby was going to die.

  I slept alone on the street. It was cold and wet but what was I to do I don't have a car anymore I don't have a dad my family I'm all alone. I may have a lot of cash on me but what good will that do my mother my sister and my brother are all in Kópavogur.How could I survive I only grabbed a bit. I looked in my messenger bag for the first time since I left, was is $5000 in my bag oh my god he cared he actually cared he tricked her he tricked Stefánný she thought he was shipping me off but really he gave me money in a bag. I can't believe I doubted him like that. I shouldn't have called him and yelled at him like that. I need to apologize.

  I called my father.

  "Judith thank god!" He said gratefully

  "Dad I'm so sorry, I found the money in my bag, I can't believe I doubted you like that."

  "I deserve it you thought i was abandoning you again."

  "Dad can we meet?"

  "I don't think that's such a good idea..." he said with his voice trailing off.

  "Sorry Stefánný's here I have to go" and he hung up.

  "Dad, dad!, uuuuhhhhh!"I grunted in frustration.

  How was I supposed to get my father back. He was basically a Slave to that woman. He was an impossible journey into Stefánný territory.But he was worth it. I wanted my dad back and whatever it takes to get him back I'll do it. All I can really do is sneak in and take him. But how is that going to work . He has top notch security. Wait, what am I doing need to put this cash in the bank.If I am going to stand a chance I have to at least have some money to back me up.

  I called for a cab.

  I made my way to the bank I watch the droplets of rain drip down the window. It always fascinated me but now it put me at peace. It was nice to not think about things for a while, it was nice to forget for a while. I couldn't believe how bad my life got. I guess as you live you just have to be thankful, that you're alive, that you're not sick, that you have money but in the end I realized you need family and friends.They will be there in the end.

  Even if my dad left me on the street with my mother, my little sister and an unborn child I forgive him for coming through in the end , and him giving me the money was just a bonus. When I was younger I always dreamed of having a superpower to make the world happy. I wish I had a superpower now I wish I could heal my sister. I drifted off in to deep thought then I realized the cab driver was calling me.

  "Miss? your at you're destination..." He said impatiently.

  "Oh! Sorry bye! have a nice day!" I said apologetically .

  I hopped out of my cab and went in to the bank. Sure I was wearing a blouse of Stefánný's but I was also wearing ripped up jeans and dingy shoes. I marched in with purpose. I walked up to the teller. She was a snobby looking girl with a frilly blouse an squared glasses. She took one look and me and smirked. I wanted to scare her, but she got there first.

  "Excuse me but are you lost?" She said smirking."The homeless shelter is three blocks away miss"

  I return a comment. "I'm sorry but my name is Judith Plaus, daughter of Kaleb Plaus--"

  "Oh, of course you are" She said mockingly

  I know the bank policy of keeping pictures of their costumers beside the account
name.

  "I'm sorry search it up my picture is there." I said with a fake smile.

  She started typing on her holograph keyboard. She tapped on the the account. She saw my picture and gasped.

  "Oh! I'm so sorry miss I didn't mean to you were dressed like a homeless person." She pleaded.

  " You should really try to listen to a person before you make assumptions, and can I please work with an other teller?" I smiled at her so fake she could see.

  I was sent to an other teller and deposited the money. Sure you might think $5000 is not alot but converted to Kronas is. I started to make my way to the door but my cell phone started ringing as I was walking to the door I bumped into someone I really didn't want to see ... Jörvi. he gasped.

  "JUDITH!"

  And at that moment I knew he had been looking for me.
