My bedroom door flew open to reveal my mother who looked absolutely horrified. "Camron sweetie are you okay!?" I was to busy trying to control my breathing to answer her so I just nodded my head yes. She came over to my bed and sat beside me placing her hand on my back. "Sweetie did you have a nightmare about.." I stopped her before she could say his name. "Please don't say his name" I whispered, my voice shaking. My mom smiled sorrowfully. "Honey...he is not going to hurt you anymore...I promise...he is in jail and we moved over 2000 miles away. You're safe my love." I stayed silent, looking at the floor and nodded so she knew I heard her. "Are you going to be okay sweetie." She asked softly. I nodded, "I always am" I whispered. She smiled weakly at me and kissed my temple softly. "I love you Camron." I smile softly back. "I love you too mom. She smiled once more and walked out the room, flipping my light on as she shut the door quietly. I shifted and looked at the time, 4:15am. There was no way I was going back to sleep now. Not after that. After a year he still scares me. He still has this affect on me, and I hate him for it.
