Chapter Seven
Nurse Christen and her daughter arrived at Amelia's house. She knocked at the door and Laura opened the door and gave her a hug. Laura's eyes met that of her daughter. "Is this your daughter?" She asked.
"Good day ma'am." Claire greeted with a broad smile on her face.
"How are you sunshine?" Laura said touching the cheek of the girl. "Please come in!"
Nurse Christen and her daughter entered the house and was graced with a beautiful sitting room. "Please sit." Laura gestured them pointing to the sofa in front of them. "My husband went to get Amelia." She said as she sat opposite them. Her eyes went to Claire. "What's her name?"
"Clarissa but I call her Claire for short." Nurse Christen answered.
"Such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." Laura commented. "Can I get you anything? juice?? Coffee??"
"Just a glass of water will do, thank you." Nurse Christen answered
"And what about you angel?" Laura asked touching Clarissa's shoulder.
Clarissa looked at her mom and when her mom nodded, she made her request. "Fruit juice please or ice cream that's if you don't mind."
Laura smiled. "A glass of water and ice cream coming right up." Laura left to get their orders when a knock was heard on the door.
"Can you get that for me please?" Laura said from the kitchen.
"OK." Nurse Christen answered as she stood to open the door.
"Hello Nurse." Andre greeted the nurse with a hug while Amelia was waiting for her own turn.
"Hello Nurse Christen." Amelia greeted with her tiny voice.
"You've grown so big." The nurse said when she carried her and took her to meet her daughter while Andre shut the door. "Amelia, there's someone I want you to meet."
Amelia kept looking at the girl in front of her. "This is my daughter Clarissa and Claire, this is Amelia, the someone I told you I was coming to see." Nurse Christen introduced.
"Nice to meet you Amy. I can call you that right?" Clarissa asked with a smile on her face and her hand stretched out to Amelia. Nurse Christen put Amelia down but Amelia did the unexpected, she took off and went to her room, leaving Clarissa's hand hanging. The poor girl had to keep back her hand to her side sadly. Laura saw everything and was going up stairs to meet Amelia and scold her but Clarissa touch the hem of her dress and collected her ice cream.
"I'll do it." Clarissa said as Laura looked at Christen and when Christen nodded, Laura turned to face Clarissa.
"First room by your right." Laura directed.
"Thank you." Clarissa skipped up the stairs with a smile and ice cream in her hands. She arrived at the entrance and knocked at the door.
Amelia was having a chat with Tessa about how her day went and about the boy she met. "He's cute though. He was dark-skinned with blue eyes...his eyes were gorgeous and the sound of his voice was cute."
"Are you supposed to be talking about a boy like that?" Tessa asked.
"Why not? He's God's creation, I'm just admiring him." Amelia said as she asked Tessa to help her with her uniform.
"Even though...you can't talk about a boy like that." Tessa warned.
"So do I have to reach a certain age before I can?"
"When you're old enough." Tessa answered.
Amelia turned to look at her. "That's not an age..."
"Shh! Someone is here." Tessa said and immediately there was a knock at the door.
Amelia noticed something was odd. Her parents never knocks at the door because the door is always opened but whoever is at the door is definitely not her parent.
"It's opened." Amelia replied.
The door opened revealing the little girl with glasses.
"I brought you ice cream." Clarissa said.
Amelia looked at Tessa who was also looking at her then at the little girl. Amelia went to meet the girl and pushed the ice cream back to her. "Get out of my room." She pushed Clarissa out and was about to shut the door when Clarissa held the door.
"What's wrong?" She asked. "I'm trying to be nice to you and you treat me like this?"
"I never asked you to be nice to me...now get out!"
"I won't leave until you tell me why you're acting this way to me." Clarissa said.
Amelia couldn't take it in anymore, if she needs a reason to leave, then she's going to give her one. "You need a reason, then how about this..." She looks at her then at Tessa who was shaking her head not to tell her. Amelia turned back and looked at the girl. "...I see ghosts." She told Clarissa and the girl just looked at her. Tessa on the other hand face-palmed herself and there was a long silence in the room.
