Anna

CHAPTER SEVEN




I walked out of my parents room once more. When I first saw mom close her eyes though it looked like she had, well you know. So I called my dad and when he came in the first thing that he did, that I didn't even think of doing, was felt her pulse. At that point we decided to take mom to the hospital as soon as possible. It doesn't make any sence for her to be in a hotel room where no one can take proper care of her.
I walked pressed the down button of the elevator and walked in when it opened. It only went down one floor before it stopped for someone else.
When the doors opened I saw Conner. My face lit up, his as well, but then I felt like I needed to explain so many things to him.
"I'm so sorry that I-"
He cut me off. "Were yeh taken care of yer mam?"
"Yes."
"Then theres no need for explainin. I understand that yeh just want her to be okay."
"Yes, I guess that's true."
He looked at me for a second then said, "Anna, I need to show yeh somethin'."Then when the doors opened he took my hand, led me out of the hotel, and out onto the street.


Conner walked over to a car and opened the door for me. And as I got in he shut in and ran around the other side opening his door. When he got in I looked at him and said, "So where are you taking me?"
"I can't tell yeh. It'll ruin the surprise."
I smiled at him. Good thing I love surprises.
When he turned on the egnition I could see that it was starting to rain. And I was happy about that because I love the rain. I said out loud, "I love the rain. It's one of my favorite things."
He smiled at me then said, "That's good that you love the rain. Or else you wouldn't fit in very well here in Scotland."
I laughed. "Yup. That is a very good thing that I love the rain."
After that neither of us said anything. Don't you hate it when both people can't figure out what to say next to continue the conversation and in get's awkward? I do.
Soon though Conner turned on the radio, and it was I'm a Cukoo. I started to sing along to it, and so did Conner. Then Conner looked at me and said, "You've got a really good voice."
I smiled. "No I don't.'
"Yes yeh do Anna."
"Well thanks. Your sweet."
Conner looked at me for a seconed and then said, "Anna, I've got to show you something." He started to pull out of the hotel parkinglot and turned onto the street. After about fifteen minutes of driving though Conner pulled to the side of the road, and cut the engine. I looked out the window and saw several houses that looked almost like little cottages.
I finally said after a minute or so, "Where are we?"
"We're at me home." He did a slight simle, then opened his door, then ran around to open my side. When I got out he grabed my hand and led me to his home.
