Shane's Mother POV
My family is falling apart, piece by piece and there is nothing i can do to stop it.
That day, that awful day when i lost my little girl, changed my life forever.
We moved out of Morganville, Frank, Shane and I and we now live in a dirty, cheap motel somewhere near Texas, but i'm not sure where exactly.
I hardly ever see my husband anymore either, he's always out with his gang, at the bar or roaming the streets and when he does come home, he's never sober enough to talk to. The man i fell in love with has gone and has been replaced with this bitter, angry alcoholic whose idea of a good time is to hit his wife every single night, not that i could tell anyone that, especially not Shane. He's been through so much in the past couple of months and i'm afraid that if i dump anymore on him, he'll just...break. To be honest, i feel like that sometimes, just giving up. Releasing myself from all the guilt, the emptiness, the grief but i know that i have to stay strong, for Shane's sake.
Shane. My little boy, no matter what he says in his teenage years, he'll always be my baby. I wish i could give him his normality back and let him be a normal teenage boy again. I know he isn't coping as well as he lets on, he misses her, we all do.
When i lost Alyssa, it was like a piece of the puzzle went missing and my family, we can never be complete. I want to turn back time and go back to how things were. I want to get rid of all these horrible feelings, the sadness and emptiness and the memories, the awful awful memories; vampires.
