Where i need to be part 10 (had to
put this up quickly)(SORRY!!!)
When she walked out. This woman looked just like my mom, except
with slightly graying hair. She just stood on the porch looking at
me as though she was seeing a ghost. It just occurred to me then
that maybe she thought she was. I looked like her. My mom i mean.
And my eyes i knew came from the Merchant side. So there was no
denying i was family.
She took a step closer and she was out of the shade of the porch
and in the afternoon sun. Her hand covered her mouth in realization
and she ran up to me and embraced me. I hugged her back not
knowing what to do or say. She started crying and called
"Brent! Brent! come here!quick!" she said letting go of
me and holding me at arm's length inspecting me. Poor Brandon
just stood beside me looking at the whole dramatic scene. And trust
me, it was dramaatic. My grandfather came out and uttered
"Well i'll be damned."
No one said anything for a while. It was werid. They just look at
me. Up and down as if checking to make sure i was real. I kinda
felt like a slave being auctioned off.
"Hi. I'm Scarlett, I'm your daughter Catherine's
daughter. I came from oregon to- to find out about my family. Oh
and this is my best friend Brandon."
"Oh my Lord! honey come right inside and you too boy!" my
grandma said shuffling us up the steps and inside the house. She
directed us through the first floor to the back where
the dining room was. Turns out, it was full of
Merchants for dinner that night. Talk about luck. Everyone stopped
eating,drinking,talking or laughing to stare at me.
