Chapter Three:
So many things changed after that. I felt like everybody hated me! What did I do that was so bad? I'm six years old now. I'm a big girl! I don't have to wear diapers in bed anymore because I don't wet the bed!
Aunt Lisa called all of us in today. This has never happened before! What's going on? I see mommy! I want to run to her and hug her! But I see her eyes. They aren't very focused. I found out that she does something called drugs. They mess with your mind and body. I think mommy does it so that she doesn't have to remember that I was born though. Mommy doesn't ever look at me now. I'm sorry, mommy! I didn't mean for bubba to get in trouble! I didn't know what was happening.
I'm in the car and heading to somewhere new. I've never seen this place before! I see nothing that's familiar. There isn't a single thing that looks familiar here. I think it's a different state. So far this is my second time moving. Great I'll be starting school at a new place! What am I going to do?!
Andrew is sitting at the other window and we're playing "Shoot the car", a game that we made up together. When a car drives by you have to duck under the window and then come back up and shoot the car. We were always laughing as we would fall out of our seats sometimes.
After fifteen minutes we got bored and began to sing along with the radio. "Concrete Angel" ended and suddenly there was a man's voice. But soon it faded away.
I dreamed that I was running around an open feild with yellow, purple, and white flowers. My brothers were chasing me and we were all laughing. I saw momma holding her hands out for me to go to her. I ran with my arms wide open. She caught me and spun around. In my mind I knew it wasn't real but there was still a part of me that wished it was.
I was woken up as we pulled into a strange yard. It didn't look like just one person's yard though. To the left I saw a huge tree with some wierd grey thing hanging down. There was a tire swing and a huge hill. The road became gravel and things got fuzzy as we bumped along. For five minutes I felt the car shaking and trying to go down the road. After about ten minutes I finally saw a house.
We got out and I smelled the fresh air. Life was going to change and I knew it! Nothing will hurt me now. Or so I thought.
