Harmony (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1

Erica's regular day started around 2:30 each morning. On the regular She would wake up to a crying Harmony, and a booty smelling ole diaper. She didn't mind waking up every morning around two its just the fact that she had to wake up to the same bs. She had no problem raising her child but it sure was a burden on her. i was ready for Harmony to turn two. I know for sure at that age my baby would be doing stuff for herself. I thank God for Harmony although i wasn't expecting her so soon. I had felt a vibration against my leg and noticed i had got a message. I continued to change Harmonies diaper. After changing Harmony i bathed her,fed her and laid her back down to sleep. Erica had wondered who was texting her so late. She had saw that she had one missed call and a voice mail from her mother. She called her mother back as soon as she heard the voice mail and asked her what was up. There wasn't much left She had to say to her mother when she found out her mother called for no reason. Truth is She wasn't stupid nobody just calls everyday at 2:30 in the morning, especially not your parents. Something was bugging Her usually she would fall back asleep but tonight something just didn't seem right. I had rushed to the bathroom to fix myself up a little,put Harmony in her carseat grabbed my car keys and rushed to my mothers house. I pulled into the driveway got out the car and nocked on the door. My mom had opened the door looking ruff. she had a busted lip, black eye and swelled cheek. Erica begged her mother to tell her who did it but all her mother did was shacked her head no. She rushed to the car to get harmony out and walked inside the house. Erica had so many questions running through her head at once that she couldn't hear Her little brother Kevin scream. She looked up the stairway and saw nothing but darkness. She had asked where her dad was all her mother could do was look up to the stairs She had gave Harmony to her mother and rushed up the stairs. She was shocked to see her father pouring gasoline on her brothers bed with him in it. She rushed to Kevin's side before her dad could light him on fire. She screamed for her mom and Kevin to go to her car with the baby. Erica ran out of Kevin's inflamed room to her grandmothers. She rushed to her grandmas aid. She begged her grandmother to wake up. there was no response She could smell smoke. I had to do something i would regret but i had to slap my grandma i needed her to wake up or else we wouldn't have made it she imeadiatley woke up. I grabbed my grandmothers hand and rushed to my car before my father could light the stairs on fire i got in the car and began to drive off. I looked back and had saw that everyone was crying i looked at my baby. i pressed the gas harder as i saw that my dad was now chasing us in his car. i was trying to rush to the hospital as fast as i could. my grandmother was praying aloud. "Father why." Help us lord she semi screamed. Kevin was crying that his stomach was burning and all i could do was promise him that i was close to the hospital. I was sitting in the waiting room for what seemed like hours for the doctor to come out and confirm if Kevin was okay. I fell asleep in the chair and dreamed of my father. al i could see was him waving goodby to me as he set himself on fire. I had woke up and saw my boyfriend rush into the emergency room. He had told me that my grandmother had called him and told him what she woke up to. he had rushed by my side and kissed my forehead.
