THIS STORY WILL ONLY HAVE THREE PARTS...THIS IS THE PART ONE...TELL ME IF YOU LIKE IT AND YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE...HERE IT GOES

-Hi, my name is Aleena Martin and I'm 15 years old. I live in a very poor neighborhood. You hear ambulances and police sirens every night. I live with my mother who is struggling to take care of me, my two sister, and herself. My two sisters are named Mya (13 years old) and Brittany (11 years old) My father walk out on us when I was only three years old. I've heard he lives somewhere in another state. I heard he's making some big money and stuff. The last time I saw my father was when I was eight years old. He came to see my mother and give her something for us. I heard yelling and arguing. And then next thing I knew, we didn't get what he brought. I miss my father a lot. This year for Christmas, all I want is for my father and mother to get back together. We can finally be a family again. I know that's basically impossible. I'm going to try my best.-

It's a cold, winter, December morning. Aleena woke up to the sound of the television playing loud Gospel music. "Turn that TV down", yelled Aleena's mother in the other room. "Okay mama, sorry", apologized Aleena's little sister Mya. Aleena rolled her eyes and sat up in the bed. "I might as well get up, since there is no possible way for me to even go back to sleep", said Aleena quietly to herself. She sighed and got out of bed.

Aleena walked into the living room and sat down beside her little sister Brittany. Mya went to her room and decided to get started on cleaning up.

"Good morning Brittany", said Aleena.

"Good morning Aleena, I can't...Christmas is in two days", said Brittany as she stared at a Wal-Mart Christmas commercial on the television.

"I can't either, so what do you want for Christmas", asked Aleena?

"A new bicycle, and what about you"?

"I want...I want our family to be the way it used to be", said Aleena as she looked up at her mother who walked in the living room.

"Good morning Aleena", said her mother as she sat down beside Aleena.

"Good morning mom, um...can I ask you something"?

"What is it"?

"Do you have dad's address"?

Her mother looked at her with a very confused look on her face. "Um, yes. Why would you want that"?

"I want to ask him something".

"It better not be anything that is dealing with a present. I don't want your father to think you're begging".

"And why would he think that"?

"You know how your father is. He swear everyone or everybody is asking him for something".

"Well this is dealing with our family".

"What is so important Aleena"?

"I want...I want us to all be a family again".

Her mother rolled her eyes and turned her head to look at the wall. "Mom, this is something I've dreamed of all year long", said Aleena as she turned her mother's head to face her.

"Aleena, your father and I can't get along".

"Can't ya'll just try to get along".

"No Aleena, your father and I broke up for a reason. End of discussion", yelled Aleena's mother and she got up and walked out the door.

Aleena felt her whole heart shut shatter into tiny pieces. Her mother had never yelled at her like that. She knew she must've made her mother really upset.

-2 Hours Later-

Aleena's mother left to go to work. Her sisters were over her grandmother's house. She knew that this was going to be her only time to look for her father's address.

She walked into her mother's bedroom. It smelled of Elizabeth Taylor's intriguing perfume, White Diamond. She examined the room and saw her mother's address book on the books stacked on the floor. She walked over and got the address book. She sat on the bed and flipped through the book. "Walter Martin, where are you", she said quietly to herself while she flipped to the M section in the book. She finally found it and wrote down the address on a sheet of paper. She wrote down 7893 Norman BLVD. 

She closed the book and placed the book back where she got it from. She hurried back in her room, grabbed her purse, cell phone, and her coat. She turned off the television in the living room and rushed out the front door.

She power walked down the street to the bus stop and she finally sat down on the bench. She was out of breath.

-5 Minutes later, the bus arrived-

She got up and rushed onto the bus. She paid the driver and went to the backseat. A cute guy caught her eye as she sat down. He sat in the seat across from her. She tried her best not to stare, but his beauty was hard to resist. She cut her eye over at him and she saw he was staring. She turned her head to look at him, but he turned his head as if he wasn't looking.

"Um...you could ask what's my name", Aleena finally spoke up.

"Oh I'm sorry, I just never knew that they really existed".

Aleena looked at him with a confused look on her face. "You didn't know what existed"?

"Angels...I didn't know that they really existed and that I would really see them in person".

"That's sweet, I'm Aleena by the way".

"Brandon".

"Well it's nice to meet you Brandon".

"Same here Aleena, so what are doing riding the bus alone"

"I'm...uh...to meet someone".

"Who"?

"Um...aren't you nosey"?

"No, just wondering".

"Uh-huh, well I'm going to meet my father"

"Oh okay, I'm riding home from my friend's house"

"Oh...", starts Aleena and she realized it was her stop. "Well Brandon this is my stop, I'll see you later".

"Okay, bye Aleena. It was nice meeting you again"

"Same here", says Aleena as she starts walking to the front of the bus.

She got off and took a look at her surroundings. There was a freshly cut lawn and a gate. She walked up to the gate and pressed the button.

"Hi, may I help you", says a woman's voice on the speaker box.

"Yes, I'm Aleena Martin...here to see my father, Walter Martin", said Aleena back to the woman

"Alright, come on up", said the woman and then the gate opened.

Aleena smiled and walked up the long driveway.

When she finally made it up the steps, she was out of breath. "That is a very long driveway", she mumbled to herself.

She walked up to the door and knocked. A tall guy answered the door wearing a suit. "Hi, I'm Aleena...is Walter Martin here", she asked? "Yes, wait here", said the tall guy with a deep voice "Okay".

Aleena waited and finally saw her father. They both stared at eachother in silence.

"Daddy", whispered Aleena?

(OKAY SO TELL ME IF U LIKE IT. IF YOU DO...I'LL KEEP IT.)
