The Death On Green Road

The memories

You we're eight when it all started. The fighting and the yelling. I would lock myself in the basement and listen to the sound of the rain pouring down the window. Hatford, Connecticut was always quiet and gloomy. I liked it but at the same time you missed the old times. I wish I could go back to the old times when mom and dad would get along. It wasn't the same anymore. No family dinners, no conversations, and no family gatherings. It's hard to remember that just last year mom and dad we're dancing in the living room with candles lighting the dark filled moonlight setting. I would hide behind the stairs and just smile. Now i don't even see them make eye contact.

I never really made any friends. I didn't even go to school. Pretending to be sick always got me out of it. Kids at school just didn't understand. There was so much that had to happen to me. They didn't get why I could see things they couldnt. Sometimes I would cry, and others I would scream. Everyone thought I was crazy. That's when I met Helena the school nurse. She told me about who I was seeing and why I could see them. She helped me figure out who I was and why I am this way. Helena was like a new mother to me. She didn't fight with anyone she only cared for them, helped them. She said I was meant to help people to. I started to go to school more often. I would never do work I would just go and see Helena. She was more than just a nurse. She was like me. I started to get older and so did she.

"Samantha wake up!"

I opened my eyes to see the same dark room. I was eight again. Why can't I wake up from this why do I have to re-live this over and over.

"We are leaving!" said my mother
"What why?! What about dad?!"
"He never cared for you!"

Then it all shattered like glass. It all faded. I remember that day even if it is eight years later. The day I started having the nightmares. The day that dad hit mom. The day my dreams became reality.
