Nathan
chapter 1
Amelia
Another sleepless night i thought with no self pity. I watched as Nathan continued to sleep peacefully in his bed. He was so innocent, not a care in this world ,untainted, pure,and beautiful. Waking up from my nightmares always ended with me watching Nathan, envying his peace until morning light. Nathan was my heart, my soul purpose ,my son. We were both alone in this world. He was my family.At 15 i was given my newborn, and from the day his late mother gave him to me i have been providing for him and loving him.I sat down in rocking chair in his room and watched as the moon danced upon his face with a promise of a good nights rest.
"Mommy!"
"Mommy" cried a head of messy blonde hair.
He was having a nightmare.I gently sat on the bed and watched as he tossed and turned. i picked him up and sat back on the chair and slowly cradled him.
"Shh, Mommy's here honey" I whispered, running my hand through his thick mane as he began to cry.
"No!!, Stop Mommy!" Nathan screamed out. I was now crying and shaking him trying to calm him down. He was so shaken he wouldn't stop, which crushed my heart. Crushing him to my rising chest, I started to hum and slowly he came to a reluctant calm. Drifting back into a peaceful sleep he started to snore. I wiped my tears away and rest Nathan back into his old iron bed and went back to the rocking chair. We had just moved out from George Town ,Hilton and it was a major change for Nathan and I. With 20 mashed up dollars in my back pocket , and my old truck: Rose on full ,we came here to survive.
Today was a nightmare but after realizing how happy Nathan really was i was OK with anything that came my way. It started with old Rose shutting off in the middle of our voyage. Slowly running out of money because of unexpected stops, the apartment not having water , and then Nathans nightmare. I had to find a job , i had to enroll Nathan at his new school, go grocery shopping and find the water problem and fix it, and finish an essay that was due tomorrow.
With that in mind i went to my room and dug through the few boxes we had until i found my laptop. making some tea i got my laptop i got down to work. I was enrolled in an awesome online nursing collage, and after graduating i was to start practicing and finally work. Before I could finally finish off my essay i heard a loud string of curses and the braking of glass. Being from the wrong side of George Town i knew not to go outside, so i continued to write but after hearing a strangled voice hopelessly scream help multiple times i had enough. So I went to the window in the kitchen and peeped out, there lay a man in a bloody shirt squeezing his arm.
