MISSING YOU COME XMAS

By Melissa

The moon shinned down on Joseph pale face.His short curls blew in the cold,December,wind.The Fog had covered the dark,Boston skies.Everything was quiet.Not a word was heard,not a sound was made.Joseph looked down his long hands and in his hands was a picture of a young woman.Joseph stared down at the picture and began to remember,the night.........

* * * * * *

"Hand at Hand,side by side,true love will last forever." Joseph whispered as he started into Dana’s eyes and put the flower in her hair. "Yes,true love will last forever...." Dana whispered Joseph looked into Dana’s eyes and knew that he wanted to be with her forever. He loved her so much.We would do anything for her.He would even die for her.Anything.Joseph’s baby blue eyes rested apon Dana’s pale white,beautiful face.He could not keep his eyes off of her.He loved her so much.Joseph stared around THEdark place that him and Dana would meet everyday after school.His mother had told him not to leave the house,but he did.Every single day.Joseph’s friend’s made fun of him because he was "musy" with his girlfriend.His mom would always say:"Your only in the 3rd grade,you dont need a girlfriend!" " Joseph,its dark..Im starting to get scared!" Dana shouted moving closer and grabbing ahold of him with her small arms. "Oh dont worry...No one will hurt you,Dana.Im here for you.Ill keep you safe from the monsters" Joseph smiled " Joseph,what would you do if a monster would come and take me away?" Dana questioned " Well,i would be sad." Joseph frowned " Well,my Daddy told me before he went to be with the angels that anytime you want something bad enough or miss something so much,write a letter to Santa Claus.Santa will give you anything.He would bring me back from the mean monster." Dana smiled " Dont worry,Dana,you will be with me forever...When we get big we can get married." Joseph smiled putting a ring pop on Dana’s finger " Yes,we will." Dana said kissing Joseph on the cheek. "Ill walk you home,Dana.Its getting close to night." Joseph whispered "OKei Dokey." Dana giggled standing up. Joseph and Dana then begin to walk,holding hands.Dana then stopped. "Joseph,your Mommy will be mad if you dont get home.Ill walk home by my self." Dana said 'Okay,Dana.' Joseph said walking to the right. 'Bye Bye,Joseph.' Dana said parting to the left. Joseph then started running towards his house,but then something stopped him.A loud,mornful scream stopped him.He immidiatly turned around to see a strange man grabbing Dana and putting her in the car. "JOSEPH!" Dana shouted as they shoved her in the car. "DANA!" Joseph said running towards the car,but the car immediately took off. Joseph fell to the ground and busted in to loud,mornful tears. "BRING DANA BACK!" Joseph cried.

11 years later

December 24

Joseph held the picture of the little girl close to his heart and began to cry.Dana was never returned.After Dana disappeared,Joseph never did love again....You may think,how can Joseph still love someone that was his girlfriend in 3rd grade?Well,he loves her because he had a special felling for her and has never ever felt it for no one else anymore.And never will.Joseph then took out a old piece of crinckled Notebook paper from his pocket and unfolded it .It was a letter Joseph had wrote in 3rd grade.

Dear Santa,

I may have not been a very good boy this year,but I only have one thing i want for Christmas and that is Dana.Santa,please bring her home for Christmas.I miss her so much.

Thanks Alot,

Joseph

Joseph stared at the letter.Tears from his eyes began to drip apon the paper." Theres no way she can still be alive." Joseph whispered. Joseph then stared up into the night sky and whispered:"God,i hope my pressious Angel is safe with you...She was an angel.An angel on earth.I miss her so much...." Joseph started off the cliff,getting very close to the edge and began to think:"If i jumped,would i be with her again?" Joseph then backed away.He couldn’t do it.He then let go of the letter and watched it fly of in the wind."I wanna be with her so much....." Joseph whispered getting closer to the edge again.He then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Joseph?" Someone called Joseph spun around to see a young woman standing there with the white snow falling into her blond hair. Joseph stared into her eyes and by looking into the womans eyes,he immediately knew who it was. "Dana??" Joseph questioned "Yes,its me Joseph got free.Someone helped me get free.Some Old man...He lead me to you......" Dana whispered Joseph then immediately ran to Dana and embraced her in his arms and begin to cry tears of happiness. " I love you so much Dana......" Joseph smiled "I love you also." Dana whispered looking up into Joseph’s eyes and kissing his soft lips. As Joseph held Dana in a tight embrace,he thanked God for the man who had saved Dana.Who could it have been that saved her? Joseph looked down at his feet and there laid his letter he wrote in third grade to Santa Claus. "Could it have been God that saved her?An angel,or could it have been......" Joseph’s thoughts were interrupted by a something that looked like a shooting star and some ONE shouting:"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT......"
