The next day...
Michelle was woken up by her daughter that was calling out to her.
"Mama,mama,mama",Nehemiah begged
"Yes baby.What is wrong?"
"I am hungry mama",she replied sleepy.
Michelle sees the clock and it is 08:45 on a Saturday morning.She is very thankfull she doesn't have to go to work.Michelle got up with Nehemiah and she made breakfast.When they were done they both dressed.She remebers her mother asking her to come over for dinner but before going she needs to do some shopping because Monday is Nehemiahs birthday.She is going early because she has work on Monday and she will buy all the stuff today.First she tries to phone Brett but a voicemail is all she gets again and again and again...
She thinks to herself he is just busy with work and will come through.
Thet dressed and went off to the mall.Both in their best cloths.
At the mall
When they get there Nehemiah can not wait to get inside."Mommy I want some sweet please",Nehemiah said with a sad voice."We can get some",she replied.
As they walk shop to shop picking out cute outfits for Nehemiah.She has a strange feeling of some one following her but she sees no one.Michelle starts to feel uncomfterable and gets everything she needs and pays for it with Nehemiah by her side.
As they walk out of the mall she sees a man following her.The face is some how familiar.He is wearing blue jeans with a black shirt.She doesn't think much of it but that feeling makes her scared.She gets in the car with Nehemiah and the bags.She drives of to her parents house.It is already 13:10.Her parents are waiting.She sees a car following her with the same man , she pulls into her parents yard and he rushes off.
"Thats just creepy",she muttered
Her parents come out with smiles and greets them.
"Hi mum and dad,sorry I am late.We went to the mall",she said
"Hi you guys.And hello grandpa's angel",her dad said.
They all get comfortable in the living room and grandpa is showing some magic tricks to Nehemiah.
"Have you heard from Brett",her mother asked suspiciously.
"No but this is not the first time this happens.When he gets too busy and there is training he does not talk much",she replied.
"Ohh I can not believe Nehemiah is turning 5 years old",her mother said gracefully.
"Yes we have a present for her",her father said.
Nehemiahs eyes lights up when she sees new cloths and a doll.She gives her grandparents huggs.
Nehemiah and grandpa is busy while Michelle and her mother get the food ready.And 3 hours later their done.They all sit at the table and saying grace.When everyone was done eating they all helped with the dishes.It was getting late and they decided to hed back home.
When they get home it is 5o clock.When she is getting her keys out some one tugged on her arm.It gave her the fright of her life.
"Let go of me" , she yelled.
She got the attention of her next door neighboor which came over.It was Luke.He was 2 years older.Suddenly the man ran away.He got in a truck down the street and rushed off.
"Are you okay?" Luke asked
Out of breath I said yes.
"Who was that?" He asked.
"I dont know.A creep that is scaring me."
"Do you want to stay the night at my house?"
"Uhm I think I will be ok."
"Okay well just call if you need me.Take your phone and add my number."
"Thanks I will call if theres something wrong."
We greeted and I went inside.I bathed with Nehemiah to get fast into bed.When we were done I got in bed.Scared.Very.Scared.I cuddled Nehemiah to sleep.
Dreaming
Bombs falling and planes shooting from the sky.Grenades thrown back and forth.Army men running for cover.
Out of dream
I jumped up and I was sweating.I thought why I dreamt that.I ammediatly called my husband but no answer.
"Is this a sign", I muttered soft.
I shaked my head to take the thoughts away.
I fell back to sleep and close to Nehemiah.
