Why (pt.25)

As Marcus got into bed, Samantha reached out to him. He knew she was already sleeping and by instinct she reached out. He thought, "She always does this to me.Makes it so fucking difficult." Marcus brushed her black hair back into her messy bun with his fingertips. "Shes is so gorgeous,but she doesn't know how to love truly,she only knows how to play with emotions.I could give you the world beautiful one if you only gave me the opportunity to show you."Marcus shook his head and traced the features of her face as she slept."Samantha when will you allow me to love you?"Samantha opened her dark brown eyes slightly as if she knew his thoughts.Marcus smiled and watched as she drifted into a deep sleep.  Samantha was in the darkness of her mind. Ahead of her stood four men in the distance. She squinted her dark brown eyes in hopes of making out who they were. To no avail. She began to walk toward them. A cobblestone road manifested beneath her bare feet and a woods suffocated by fog stood on the edge of the road. "Not again." Fear grew inside her at the memory previous to this one. She ran. Towards the men before her hoping that somehow they would help ease this fear in her. As she got closer to them she realized that the four men were on separate paths. She stood in the limbo not knowing which way to continue. Suddenly she herd her younger self behind her. Turning she seen her parents in their blue caravan driving toward her. She closed her eyes believing she would get hit by them then she opened her eyes. She was in the car now, her parents were ahead of her and her father was driving. "Poppa?"She began to cry. "Sammy why do you do this honey?" Her father spoke in a disappointed tone. Her mother looked back,"You don't need to have a boyfriend Sammy your only fourteen,focus on your studies baby." Samantha looked down she was wearing the same denim mini skirt and rose tank top she was wearing that day. "Mama Poppa,please don't be disappointed ill change I'm sorry." They both looked at each other. The moment seemed to freeze, as blinding light appeared before her parents. Samantha crossed her arms in front of her face to shield the light. "Samantha!"Her parents yelled. She felt her whole body take the impact and tears drenched her face. Everything went black. Then she was in front of her first foster parents. They pointed and all her foster parents manifested in a straight line in the direction they pointed. Samantha ran down the line of them. She was in the limbo again except there was no fog anymore. The man on the first path walked up to her. It was her boyfriend when she was first on her own. "Peter?" she asked. He smiled. Then the second walked up the path. It was Gregorio. He stood their with his cane and a smile. Then the third walked up his path. "Marcus?" He shook his head yes to answer her question. Finally the fourth reached the top of his path. It was Antonio. Each held out both their hands with  palms up. In Peter's hands soil appeared and he spoke,"Growth." Then in Gregorio's hands water filled then he spoke,"Life." Suddenly Marcus' hands filled with fire and he spoke,"Passion." Finally in Antonio's hands there was nothing he smiled then spoke,"Unknown." She looked at each of them confused. In the distance she herd the beeping of an alarm,everything began to disappear...
