Daydreams

''Am sorry Anne, I need to go with daddy, I can't leave daddy, the court already decided that, you just stay with Mom, and be a good child, I will always write to you'' my elder sister Annabelle said with tears in her eyes, tears that didn't move me, she had announced it in the court that she wanted to go with dad,it was her decision, she always said she wished she was the only daughter of a rich man, she bugged everybody of how bad and corrupt she would have become, if mom wasn't so tight on her, she only wanted to be free, no more mom, no more me, that's all she wanted and this gave her the chance to be just that, the only daughter of a rich man, I really hate Annabelle right now ''stay please'' I pleaded, do not break our family, ''dad can go, he has everything, but mom, she has just us, please Anna'' I pleaded holding her hands, I saw her fight back her insincere tears, tears of joy rather tears, last tears of confinement, the last tears that covered everything that has ever made her cry, she may not cry again in her life, mom won't be there to correct her, I was sure those tears were insincere as she slowly removed my hands, I could tell her mind was made up and that was the last time I saw Annabelle, she had made her choice.

********************

After the divorce, mom resorted to drinking and I, I was just a frustrated teenager, I often saw dad on TV, he had a new family now and sis was living with them, I often wondered what their family was like, cute, happy, broken, ecetra. I just wanted dad back and sis too, am sure she wanted that or maybe not really, I was happy that she was frustrated, her tiny mind thought she would be the only daughter if dad was to divorce mom and now there are more than just the two of us.

As years passed by I grew to hate dad and Annabelle, dad was mischievous and Annabelle, was greedy, I just grew to care less about them and face my life, about mom, her life belongs to her, she can toss it how ever she felt. She was slowly getting on with her life, I know she has a boyfriend recently, but mom learnt it the hard way, am not sure, she will ever get married again, dad was already remarried and Anna had gone into acting, everyone had their lives and I won't be exempted.

***************************

Dad had a movie Industry and sis was into acting, she was a celebrity, before I decided to beat her to that, I filled in forms to join dad's rival company, I was determined to ruin dad and Annabelle.

I was accepted into Wen group as an upcoming artiste, it was as though the chairman of the company knew my intentions as he made sure I was featured in everything going on in the industry, both movies and music and in a short time, I had more followers than my sister, I attended several conferences of which my sister was present and I always showed her, how successful I was, even after I followed mom, who wasn't as rich as dad. In less than five years I entered the industry, Wen group topped dad's and I was celebrated, I became the queen of the industry, but I wasn't satisfied, all I ever really wanted was dad I'm his knees begging I and Mom for mercy and yet I have never really met dad since the divorce.

Ding dong!!!! I heard first thing on Monday morning, I quickly rushed out only to see a delivery man, he had brought a package, from Amazon and I was surprised, well I was famous, must be from a fan I thought, I unwrapped it only to see a very cute cat, who orders cats I asked, feeling like this was a dejavu until I remembered telling Annabelle that am going to order a cat from Amazon on my 24th birthday and how she replied, who orders a dog your childish Joanna she had said that day, yet she remembered.wow, I thought, today is my birthday and Annabelle remembered, tears welled up in my eyes, I was surprised to find my self so easy and softhearted.

Ding dong!! I heard again and this time it was dad and Annabelle, I just stood there staring at my long lost family, happy birthday Joanna I heard, I still didn't reply, tears welled up and flowed freely, i didn't know how to react, all these years, I arranged everything I would say per adventure I succeed, how I will yell at dad, curse Anna, how I will make them beg me for years how I will be daddy's last hope, how the news will take it round that am daddy's saviour, the best daughter in the world, but now, am not sure anymore. Hello!!! Hello!!!! Joanna!!! I heard and was thrown out of my thoughts by Annabelle's loud voice, I turned and went into the sitting room, leaving the door open so that they can follow suit, I had a serious mixed feeling, l wanted them out of my house and I wanted dad to hold me to stroke my hair, I wanted to quarrel with Annabelle, all these things, I wanted them in my life again, years of experience helped as I quickly forced a tight smile, ''what do you want'', I asked looking at dad, are you done with your family, I can see your not so busy, that you decided to see this useless daughter of yours, I said pointing at myself, hoping I was nasty enough, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla is all I can remember till we reconciled and my family became one again.

Well I woke up from my dream and found myself on the bed close to Annabelle, I was still a teenager lolsss.
