Everything Falls Into Place

chapter 3

After the memories filled my head I snapped back into reality, and continued to pack.
I put my hand underneath my dresser, and the tip of my finger touched something..a little box. As soon as I pulled it out I felt my skin tince as I looked at the little black box.
I instantly dropped it as my eyes darkened from the flash back.

Age 5:

I heard a knock from the front door. I walked slowly to it not really knowing if I should reach it or not.
"Darling stay away from the door" my mother warned me in a quiet and soft whisper.
I nodded franticly then walked to her. She was covered in tears, but I didn't know why.
The knock on the door grew louder as well as my fear.
"Mommy I'm scared" I cried.
She grabbed my hand and said "don't be hunny everything's gonna be alright." She assured me.
I heard the knock once more then a gentle voice said
"Mrs and Mr Swagger I know your in there I can hear you talking" a man's voice spoke.
"Mommy what do they want?" I asked in a whisper.
She shook her head as we crouched down behind the couch.
"If you don't open that door I'm coming in" the man sounded anger in frustration.
A minute later the door was beat down as a man stood in front of us.
My mom started balling.
"Stay away from my child" she cried picking me up.
"Mommy!" I cried.
Her cheeks shaded a light pink and her makeup ran down her face.
My dad way gone at the moment, but would be back later the night like always.
The man said calmly "everything is ok little one"
I eased my self skittle, but still scared as for my mom and i.
She pulled me away in fear.
But for what?
"Do you like ice cream?" He asked.

Ice cream?

"Y-es" I said in a stutter.
I peaked my head over sideways to see outside where a woman was standing with a police officer.
"What did my mommy do?" I asked.
"Nothing hunny" he said bending down to me.
I could feel my ms heart for I was rested on her chest.
"I see da police officer" I struggled saying my words.
"Hes just here to make sure everything is okay" he explained.
I noticed a black car pull up the driveway..my daddys home.
"Daddy!" I shouted running to him. As I ran I felt someone scoop me up.
When I looked to see who it was..it wasn't my mommy it was that lady.
"MOMMY DADDY!" I screamed for help.
But couldn't get free. I looked back to see my daddy smiling and my mommy being arrested by the police crying trying to get to me, but couldn't.
My daddy on the other hand was happy to see me get put in a stranger's car.
"Mommy!!" I cried out scared.
"Wait I need to give her something!" My mother yelled.
They guided her to me when she untied the necklace on her neck and placed it in my hands.
"Mommy loves you baby and I'll be back.." she sobbed.
The woman shut the backseat door..
That's when I found out my dad was a bad man.
We arrived at a home with a lot of other kids...

I stayed at that orphanage until my mom was released from prison, at the age of 7...

I ended my flashback then opened the box to see the beautiful necklace..
I shut the box then put it in my suitcase along with all my other stuff.
After packing my mom came in leaning against the door.
"Yeah?"
"The flight will be in an hour baby"
I nodded as I zipped my case and carried them to the car as she did her stuff.
I sat in the front seat shutting the door pulling my headphones up.
I listened to treat you better by Shawn Mendes.
