Nightmares

Reccuring Nightmares

Callen's POV:
I woke up this morning feeling terrible like I did last night. Last night I had another nightmare but, it's the same people in my nightmares that make it hard for me to sleep. My friend Sam says I need to go to therapy and talk to other people about my nightmares.
Sam: You need help G.
Me: I got help you know what help was, help was a lot of people sitting in a circle talking about how awful things have got so you think I need to sit there and talk about the same thing.
We went in and sat down at our desks. Kensi and Deeks walked in and sat down next to us. Kensi: So why hasn't Eric called you guys up yet?
Sam: I don't know
Callen: Why hasn't that guy you dated a year ago called you back Kensi?
Sam laughed at that and I got Deeks to laugh too. Kensi though she wasn't to happy but she didn't look upset either. Finally Eric whistles like we're dogs. But that's our que to go up to OPs. Eric and Nell showed us a case of two foster parents abusing their two foster kids out in public. I immediately recognize the two parents because they were my old foster parents. I didn't tell anyone but Sam and Hetty already knew these people and how they treated me when I was younger.
Me: Kensi, Deeks go talk to the parents and Sam and I will go see the house and what happened.
We got in Sam's car he knew something was wrong because I was so quiet. Then we got to the house.
Sam: Why would someone hit their kids so hard until their bleeding on the floor?
Me: Because the parents are mean.
Sam: Oh these are the parents that used to hit you huh? Wow a strong guy like you and you couldn't hurt them?
Me: No ok you see this hole in the wall? That's where my foster dad thought I was in the way and he decided to slam my head in the wall.
Sam: Holy Moses bet that had to hurt alright let's find the kids because the police said they were hiding in here somewhere.
Sam and I found the kids under a bed. The youngest was eight years old named Greg and the oldest was ten years old named Max. They said they have been here for two weeks and couldn't stand the pain anymore. Sam and I took them to the boat shed. They then saw their foster dad on the tv screen and started hiding behind Sam and I.
Greg: Please don't let him hurt us we don't want him to hurt us.
Me: Don't worry we won't.
Sam: yeah he'll have to go through us first and that will never happen.
Me: Trust us he hurt me once he can hurt me again.
Max: He hurt you? What do you mean?
Me: He hurt me real bad when I was seven years old. He used to beat me until I passed out. The foster mom would smack me. Finally after two weeks I had enough and went out the door screaming with the dad chasing me. The neighbors heard me and called the police. Before the dad could do anymore damage to me the police arrived and took him and his wife to jail.
The kids were shocked at what I had said. Kensi and Deeks brought the dad named Daniel out and the kids hid behind us. Kensi looked frustrated so I sent her and Deeks out with the kids to go find their case worker. The dad stared at me for a while and I could tell that he remembered who I was and how long it has been since he last saw me when I was seven years old.
Daniel: You! I remember you. You ran out of the house and screamed and got my wife and I in jail. I told myself that when I got out I would get revenge on you. You were that scared of us.
Me: Yeah I was that scared little kid that you used to beat up. But you can't hurt me now. If you put your hands on me, you're going back to jail and this time you'll stay there for good.
Daniel: Honestly I knew I should have ended your life when I had a chance. But your not as bad as your mother ever was.
I stared at him with a confused look.
Me: What do you mean I'm not as bad as my mother ever was?
Daniel: What a dumbie. I knew her back in high school.
I stared at him with tears starting to come to my eyes.
Me: You knew my mom?
Daniel: Yes because she was my girlfriend back in high school. I knew she was going to have your sister soon with that guy that you call a father. I knew I always hated you guys.
Me: You dated my mom?
Daniel: Yes I did but before that guy got to her and got her knocked up. What a bitch she started to be.
Me: Don't talk about my mother like that. She wouldn't do that.
Daniel: I will talk about her like this because she went and got herself killed.
I then got up, grabbed his shirt and slammed him up against the wall angrier than I have ever been. Sam then grabbed me and took me outside of the boat shed. Hetty walked in as we were walking out.
Sam: What's going on with you?
Me: My mother was never like this. She couldn't have been.
Sam: How do you know you never knew her.
Me: Don't talk about my mom like that.
Sam: Listen he's trying to get to you because he wants you to feel like it's your fault.
Me: You're right he is trying to get me to fell like that well I won't let him make me feel like this.
Sam: Alright are you calm enough to go back inside and talk to him.
Me: I guess I have to be.
