Chapter eleven
Finally a week had gone by. We had gone ot every house on Joey's list except one.
"Okay I'm ready!" I said excitedly because I knew at least one of the houses on the list was mine.
Joey pulled in the drive way and let me out. I walked up to the house beeming. When the man opened the door I quickly hugged him, but the shocked expression on his face told me something.
"You don't know who I am do you?"
"No sorry."
"But you have too!" I say with tears in my eyes, "I'm supposed to be your daughter!"
"I'm sorry sweetie, but I never had kids, except for one I lost along time ago."
"That's me then!" I pleaded.
"No I'm sorry she would be twenty where ever she is.."
"Oh I'm sorry, well I know how she feels, I'll pray for her and you."
"Pray for us?" He asked confused, "Oh I'm sorry child but you have the wrong idea, theres not a God."
My face straighten and I wanted to yell at him but I took a deep breath and said.
"Then who created the world?"
"Oh rocks that were in space."
"Who created those?"
He paused, "Well that one doesn't prove anything." He said. "Well if God is real why are there wars and evil?"
"God can't help you if you don't ask for help, and He lets evil things happen so something good could happen from them, like Romeo and Juliet, they both die but the war between there two families quickly ends and they realize how foolish they've been."
"That's Shakespeare not anything real kid."
"So, it teaches a good lesson, its more true than you know."
He was silent then said, "Well run along you need to find your family."
I came back to the car and hoped in.
"So?" Joey asked.
"Nope not them."
"Why do you seem so happy about it? That was the last house."
"I know, but I'm glad he is not my Dad."
"Why?"
"He tried to convenes me that God wasn't real."
"Oh my, what did you say?"
"I just calmly told him why God was real with every excuse he gave I gave him a logical answer."
"Good job Jack."
We were driving back to the hotel and Joey randomly slamed on the breaks sending be flying toward the window. Luckily be seat belt locke before I could hit the window.
"What was that for!" I screamed "Hello kid in the front seat!"
"Sorry Jack, I just remembered there is one more house."
