Lost Touches

Part 1: Ebony

Ebony's P.O.V

"Mommie, mommie wake up". My 2 year old son said pulling my covers. I didn't move.

"Mommie, get up, me hungry". He whined.

"Okay, Lijah what do you want to eat" I said, wipping my eyes sitting up in my California King bed.

"Ummmmm, Ummmmmm, Ummmmmm, Ummmmm" Elijah did this every morning, It was becoming very annoying. "Elijah Keial Johnson, what do you want to eat, cereal?" I asked, patting my itchy weave.

"Ummmmmmm, Umm..." He started again. "Lijah, What do you want to eat, baby?" I asked, becoming very frustrated. "You want a pancake?"

" YESSSSS!" He smiled, happily jumping up on the bed. "Okay, come one baby" I picked him up, walking out of my small  bedroom.

Oh, let me introduce myself. My name Ebony, Ebony Rose Johnson. I just turned seventeen last month. I live with my auntie, Nesha. My mother died in a car accident when I was eleven, I never knew my father but my auntie sticks with the story that my mother used to tell me, " Your father, got lost over seas when you where first born, the army called and said he never showed up to the line up and that their doing their best to find him."  That's been seventeen years now. So after my mother died I moved with my aunt, It was just her and shes not too old, she was only twenty when I moved in.  Nesha was always cool, she was still young and wild, inviting dudes over to her apartment, letting me do the same, shes that cool aunt that that everybody has. Anyway enough of Nesha, lets get on with me, I just turned seventeen and have a two year old son whom I named Elijah, after his daddy. Elijah's dad was their for me when my mother passed, he stayed by me the entire step of the way, up until last year when he was sentenced to 4 years prison time, for breaking and entering, in his mother own home. I had Elija two days after my fifteenth birthday, causing me to end my high school career and get my GED, so I could be a full time mother to my son.

" well good after noon, sleeping beauty" my auntie said sitting at the kitchen table flipping through mail.
"You know a princess needs her rest" I laughed, sitting Elijah in his high chair. "Any mail come for me?" I had been waiting for Elijah to write me back, it had been two weeks and still nothing.
I opened the fridge and grabbed two microwaveable pancakes and warmed them up.
"I think I seen something with your name on it, but if you looking for some from that boy, it ain't it." She flipped through the other stack of mail.
Beep Beep Beep! The microwave got louder with each beep. Elijah clapped his hands as I took the warm pancakes out and sat them in front of him.
I cut the pancake into small pieces and pored him some juice in his sippy cup.
"Nesha, what you doing today?" I asked As she handed me the mail with my name on it. " I don't know, I'm off today tho why?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Girl I don't know but could you watch Lijah, while I run some errands" she looked at him, nodding her head yes. " Thanks boo" I said getting up from the table and walking back into my room. After I jumped out the shower and did my hygiene, I decided on something simple; a white polo v neck and true religion skinnys with a pair of white mk sandals. I stuck my tied up weave through the whole in my ripped polo hat and that was that. I grabbed my keys off the key rack and my mk bag off the couch, kissing Elijah before I walked out. "Bye auntie, I'll be back in a couple" I said closing the door behind me.
"Call Mother Maggy" I spoke into my call system inside my all black tented Chrysler 300 sitting on 24's.
"Hello, Eb?" Mrs. Woods, Elijah's grandmother spoke through the phone.
"Yes ma'am it's me" I said. Driving down the highway with my shades on to block the Suns rays.
"I ain't heard from you in a while, hunny what's going on." She coughed through her end. Mrs. Woods was a very healthy lady so it didn't bother me that she was coughing.
"Oh nothing just getting out the house and thought I'd talk to my lovely mother in law, have you heard from Elijah?" I asked, anxiously wondering why he hasn't wrote me back.
"As a matter of fact I had just ended my phone session with him right before you called." Phone session? Since when did he get to make personal phone calls ?
"Phone call?" I questioned. "Yea, he said he got moved to a new unit which is why he hasn't had a chance to write, but he can make phone calls now once in the morning and once at night, I guess he'll be calling you later." She coughed again. "Oh okay, you alright " I asked, hearing her voice get weak with that last cough. " yea, I'm fine, just my allergies messing with me out here on this porch." She said, worry free.
"So did he said anything about his next court date, you know it's coming up" I said, exiting off the highway onto the vita. " naw, oh but he did say he put all of us on his visitation list and it should take about a week for it to process."
I didn't say anything, taking a mental note. "But child, let me go turn these greens off." She said, basically cutting our phone conversation short. "Alright then, Mrs. Woods." I tooted my lips. "Okay dear, come see me sometime, I ain't seen my grand baby in god knows how long."
Click. She hung up before I could say anything else.
I don't go around Maggie unless I'm with Elijah, she is so bi polar. She call the cops on her fresh and blood, claiming the he broke into her house which is why he is in the position that he is right now. I don't see why he continues to deal with her, after everything that woman has put him through. When we first got together she threatened my head and she think I'm really going to go around her alone, let alone my son. I'll be damn if I do that.
I drove for another five or so minutes until I pulled up to the us military recruiting office plaza. I come here every month to see if they found anything on my father. I honestly really would love to meet the man that sacrificed his life for his family, for me and for his country.
