Those eyes

The Next Morning

I was asleep when Mama woke me

"How are you feeling?" She asked

"I think I'm ok." I said

"I was so worried Rachel what happened?"

"I don't know Mama."

Just then Arthur walked in

"Mrs. Adams how are you this morning?"

Mama was ready to go

"When can Rachel leave?" She asked

"Well That is up to her." He looked at me to see what I would say next

I didn't want to talk while he was there. 

"I'll give you a few minutes."

It was like he always knew exactly what to say.

As he left I grabbed Mama's hand and began to speak

"Mama please you have to tell me is there any way for someone to become Amish."

She looked at me as if I had lost my mind

"Rachel what is this talk?"

"I think I know what it is to be in love Mama it was love at 1st site and he felt it to."

"Rachel stop this."

"Please Mama I have never asked for anything in my life. I was a good child I never left when I could and all I want to know is there a way. Please he is willing for me."

"They say that there is a way. I've never seen it done before but."

Just then my father walked in.

"Papa?" 

"Come now Rachel the Dr said you can come home get your things."

"Please Papa I need to talk to you."

Mama tried to stop me as I said the exact same words to my father as I had said to her. 

"NO!" He screamed

"Papa please he will do this I know he will"

"NO! Rachel"

"Let's go MAMA now!" Papa took my mother by the hand and the left with out me.

I couldn't believe it. I did nothing wrong and my own father just left me. I didn't understand Arthur was willing to change for me and I could still be with my family. I wanted someone to explain it to me. I got up got dressed and was about to walk out the door when Arthur walked in.

"Do you need a ride?" he asked

"You have perfect timing and yes I might."

We walked quickly down the hall down the elevator and out the door. My parents were no were to be seen,

"Yes I guess I need a ride."

I followed him to his car. I expected something red for some reason and I honestly has no clue what kind of car it was. It was nice but not red.

As he drove to my house I didn't know if we would get there 1st or see them along the way I honestly had no clue how they even got to the hospital.

"It's going to be Ok no matter what Ok Rachel." Arthur said with a smile 

I just knew he was right
