More on Armani's mother

[WildfireMicro 426]

 Armani Calamari's mother originally named Jane Derba was a field hockey player and track star in the same school as his father, John Calamari. John was on the school hockey team but was a bit of a goon. He would get into all kinds of fights and arguments on the ice but always seemed to try not to take it too far so he won't get punished. John had long hair back then just like Armani does now, but ironically is bald these days. John crushed hard on Jane as she was the pretty girl next door type, but she personally did not like his attitude in games.

 

 One day during their sophomore year Jane was practicing with her teammates while John was doing some writing in his journal nearby. While John was writing about his day, some bullies grabbed his journal and him and ripped a page out before Jane and her teammates made them go away. Jane grabbed the page and saw that it was him writing about his absent father.

 

 "So your dad ran away?" Jane said before John grabbed the page away "what happened to your mom?"

 

 "She gave me away when I was 4." John sighs "I've been in a bunch of foster homes, probably why those guys thought it would be funny to do that. I'm an easy target"

 

 "Well their leader was Butch and I know he is the hockey captain" Jane says raising an eyebrow "you definitely don't have any qualms about doing his dirty work in the ice"

 

 "What choice do I have?" John says "he makes us do all of that. His dad is the coach. Doesn’t excuse anything I did I know" he sighs and goes to leave "I'll be seeing you around Jane"

 

 "Wait!" Jane says as she walks up to him "Our practice is over and my parents are making me walk home because they are still at work. Can you walk with me?"

 

 "Umm...sure!" John smiles as he and Jane walk to her house. This walk would start their friendship and eventual relationship throughout the years. Armani would be born a few years after thier marriage and they would be a happy family until two years afterwards. Jane would unfortunately pass away a couple of weeks after Armani's birthday dueto complications from surgery. After her passing John found himself in a similar situation as his own mom with being a single parent. He was typing on his computer with barely any sleep in the previous day when two year old Armani tried to get his dad's attention.

 

 "What do you want son, I'm very busy" John says as he goes up to him  and sees Armani holding a very crude drawing of John. John started crying and picked up his son "Armani my son I promise you today that I will take care of you in the best way I can. It's what your mother would have wanted. Now do you want to go to the park?" They both got into John's car and he took a picture of them both, which Armani still has in his apartment in Sweden. He looks at it a lot for motivation and happiness.
