The parent project| COMPLETED

16) mothers

A/N for this to make some sense read the last chapter

Luke's pov

I can't believe it. I just can't. After 5 years I'm seeing my mother. She looks happy. But, Amanda doesn't. (A/N the baby Sam was talking about in the 3rd chapter) she looks beaten. She looks scared. After a few minutes Brady is trying to get my attention, but he knows what's going on. This happened to him 3 months ago when he was walking back to his foster parents in the park. His mom stopped him and said hello and that she was sorry. They've kept in touch sense but there's still resistance. Anyway, by our stop she saw me. We made eye contact but when I got off I didn't look back. Exactly like she did 5 years ago.

Amanda's pov

Hi! I'm Amanda. And I'm 6. Today I rode the subway for the first time. I saw a boy. He was older than me, he kept looking at us. When I looked back he smiled, but when my mom looked he had on a mean face. My mommy had on a face of sadness I think. Or maybe it was something else. Anyway, here's more on my life. I had a brother and sister but I don't know where they are. When I go to sleep I have weird dreams about someone hitting me and I'm screaming. Then when I wake up I have cuts and bruises on the places I thought I was hit. I'm scared to sleep now. Whenever someone touches my arm I flinch, scared that they will hit me. I wish my brother was with me and could protect me. The boy just got off the train so did we.

Victoria's pov

I saw my son. I knew it was him as soon as he walked on the train. I acted like I was happy when I wasn't. My husband beats our daughter as she sleeps. And do I help her? No! I just grab a bottle of wine and drink until he stops. He's a drunk and I know, he knows but doesn't stop. When Luke got off the train so did I. I followed close behind. "Luke!" I yell. Him and his friend stopped but didn't turn around. They shrugged and kept walking. Pulling Amanda along once again I yelled to him. "Luke Brian Jones!" They stopped and turned around this time. Both the boys walked over to me. "What do you want?" Luke growled. " i........i.....hi." I stutter. "Hi? Hi? That's all you have to say after you abandoned me and my sister and kept our baby sister?!? Saying you didn't love us anymore?!?That's all you have to say? It took five years for us to be adopted. Sam hoped for years you would come back. But no! I had to hear he cry every day and every night about it! Jones?!? Ha! That was taken away from us as soon as you left! That's not our name anymore. It never will be." Luke was furious. More thank I thought he would be. He then picked up Amanda. "Hi Amanda. I'm Luke. Your older brother that mom sent away." "hi! Who's Samantha?" she asked with a smile. "She's your older sister." He smiled back. Luke then looked at me. "Here's the deal, if you let me take Amanda for a few hours I will get Samantha and meet you at the subway restaurant on 5th for dinner. You want to make a mends? Start there. Deal?" He growled. "Deal. See you there at 7:00pm." "Bye Amanda." With that I head back to the subway. Behind me I can hear Luke ask Amanda if the situation was ok with her and she said yes.

Riley's pov

Here's the thing, good mothers make good choices and bad mothers make bad decisions. But, then there are the mothers that make good and bad choices. There's a great divide between each. I don't know which one I am.
