August 19, 1996. Woodsburn town, South Carolina. 

Unknown POV

It is a crispy fall evening, the moon shining brightly above the dark clear night sky. Stars splattered all over the sky, shining like the northern lights. The neighbourhood was quiet and peaceful. Im walking by a small pond. "Oh my, what a wonderful evening, the moon is out and the leaves are falling from the oak trees. Such a pleasant sight". The woman is alone but appers to be talking with someone.

In the distance I see a young woman running with something in her arms. I squint to make out what she is holding, but its is impossible to do so with the darkness surrounding us.  The lady that was running stops running and stands still, nervously looking around as if she thought she was being watched. I ran behind an oak tree as fast as I could and hid till she started running again. This woman did not look familiar, she must be from out of town because i have never seen her in my life before or even in this neighbourhood. Finally, she slows down by a house and looks around one more time, what she does next surprised me, but i couldn't stop looking. She gently put the thing in her arms on the door step of the house. The woman stared at it for a long time, and then out of no where she... disappeared. I coudn't believe what I saw, so I started looking around to find her, but she was nowhere to be seen. I was still hiding behind that oak tree, I wanted to go over to the doorstep and see what it was but I was afraid something might happen. Suddenly, something started crying, very loudly. At first it was really quiet, but it got louder and louder. I then realized it was a baby. All the lights in the neighbourhood started coming on, one by one; then the door where the baby was laying opened, and someone came out.   

Monica's POV

"Oh my baby, don't cry, its okay everything will be fine. We're almost there honey, we're almost there". I remember this place, its such a peaceful place. This is where I grew up, now my baby boy will be living his normal life here, in this world. I was running to get him to a safe place, to get him far away from the dark world. I kept running and never stopped, I was gasping for air, I had little strength and I felt like collapsing, but I had to get him to the safe place. His safe Haven. Suddenly,  I stopped, I felt someone watching me, I turned around and looked. "Hello? Is anybody there?" I whispered. No one was there, it was quiet and calm. The only noise was the wind blowing through the fall trees, and the crickets and frogs by the pond in the distance.

I left it alone and started running again. Finally, I paused before a house, a house I've seen before. I looked down at my arms, my baby had fallen asleep. He looked so peaceful, his body still and fragile. His chest falling and rising, tears ran down my face while I looked at him. "Such a gorgeous boy". I whispered. I looked back at the house, I've seen the two couples that lived in there. I watched them for years and years, they were the right people. They are kind and gentle humans. These two  are married, they tried for a baby but they lost their baby girl while the mother gave birth. It devastated them, they want a family. I looked back down at my son, I gently lay him down on the floor of their steps, I started to cry again quietly so i don't wake the baby. I couldn't believe i was doing this, but i have to, its for his safety. " Im sorry my son, I love you so much, I will never stop loving you. You just be a brave boy now, I love you my sweet darling", I whispered to him. I kissed him and held his tiny, warm, soft hands for the last time. I left him and disappered.

Present Day

"Hey, sleepy head. Wake up time for school!", the housekeeper said, while opening the curtians which brought in the sun's light right into my eyes. " Agh!, what did you do that for!?" What do you think your doing?! Close the damn curtains!" I said while rubbing my eyes from the pain and blurryness.  "No! You wake up now, you be late for school. Principle be mad last time you be late so go to shower." Our housekeeper, Maria, is from Columbia. She has an accent, and is kind of bad at speaking english. After staying in bed for another 5 minutes, I woke up and went to the bathroom with a towel. Maria was right though, I can't afford to be late anymore, I've missed to many classes. Anyways, I go to the bathroom, take my shirt off and check myself out in the huge mirror.

Not to brag but im kind of rich. Never mind, really rich, and pretty handsome, too. Im seventeen, 5'8 My hair is darkish-brown, and I have green eyes. I'm not rude and I don't show off my body like a model. "Stop looking at your body, Jeremy" Maria said outside my bathroom. She's probably doing my bed, I don't know how she knew I was looking at myself, but what can i say, we have had her in this family for a long time, and she knows everything. I mean EVERYTHING. Anyways, back to me, i guess im pretty fit, im pretty muscular and play hockey and soccer.

After im done taking a shower, I open the bathroom door, and when I do, Maria is standing there with her hands on her hips and a raised eyebrow. "WHAT!?" I said, kind of loud. "You take too long, time run out, you be late for school!" she said, annoyed. "NO, its okay, you just go make me breakfast, I'll be there in a mintue, okay?" "Okay, Okay, hurry." Finally she leaves my room, I take a look at my watch, I have 15 mintues to get ready and eat breakfast. By the time I finish, I only had 5 mintues.

I quickly run downstairs, the smell of toast and bacon fills my nostrils. "Hi honey?" my mom says. My mom is a wonderful person, she's been there for me every step of the way, and I love her. Im a mama's boy. " Hi Mom, you look fabulous today. What are you up to?" I say with a big smile on my face. She did look beautiful. Her name is Mary Bridges, by the way. "Oh stop it, it's just a dress, and today I have a fundraiser to go to for the Children's Hospital. The other Moms and I are helping out, and baking for the lovely kids in the hospital. Isn't that wonderful, honey?" My mom is very sweet and kind, I dont think I've ever met anyone so kind. "Thats great, Mom. Tell Dr. James I said hi, but I have to go or I'm going to be late." "Alright, have a good day, Jeremy!" she shouted as I ran out of the house. I got into my Range Rover and drove to school with a toast in my hand as fast as i could.
