When Dawn Breaks

Chapter 1

-before-

"ETHAN STOP IT!"

I scream at the top of my lungs.

"But Sawyyyerrrr!!" Ethan whines.

"No buts Ethan. I told u my decision now beat it."

Getting rather annoyed I step back towards the front door and open it.

"Ethan leave, before I get Big Doug in here."

And on that note my annoying ex-boyfriend of 2 years is running for the hills.

-way before-

Little Momma!

I whine from my seat at the kitchen table.

"Sawyer, how I wish you would stop giving people all those nicknames"

Complains Little momma from her position at the sink.

"Mother if you must know my 15 1/2 year old brain can not comprehend normal people names so I must give them my own." I redirect.

"Well fine whatever you say dear" my mother says sickenly sweet.

"So as I was saying, mummy dearest, is that I think it best to experience the world on my own with my own eyes and ears and all my senses! and further more..."

Enough Sawyer! Yells Little momma. "You are not going to the fair on your own! you may take your step dad or myself but not on your own! And how I wish you would just come right out and say that without all this extra nonsense about experiencing the world with your damn eyes and ears!!" And with that little momma exits the perimeter.

"Well, now she can't say that I don't get my over dramatic attitude from her" I whisper half to myself and half to my unbeaten bowl of oatmeal.

"Sawyer why are you eating old people food again?" comes a low voice from behind me.

" It reminds me of you Big Doug" I reply cooly.

"Still got that tongue I see" remarks my step father.

I smile. "Oh Big how I just adore your rather rude yet charming remarks in the morning."

"Well I'm just glad I make your mornings that much more enjoyable." Smirks Big.

"If only she did" I remark with a frown.

"Hey now, your mother is under a lot of stress right now Sawyer".

"Yeah yeah I know Dougie, it's just hard with her being gone at the agency all the time"

I know Sawyer. Trust me I know.

And with that I am ounce again left alone with only my oatmeal for company. Oh the joys of family love and bounding.
