Once upon a little boy

Suspicion

Hey guys, I have kinda run out of song  ideas. So let's just get straight to the story.

Carl's POV :

After Jacob left, momma came to my room looking really dejected as she started speaking in a voice that sounded like she had been crying.

“Carlo, am sorry if it seemed like I was not an understanding mother, am sorry if I thought that throwing that party would kind of make to loosing up and just take a break from all that's happening am sorry.......”.

And with that she broke down crying, hard.

I didn't mean to make her feel like this “Am sorry too momma I shouldn't have done what I did in front of the whole guests, am so sorry momma”.

Momma wiped her tears and put me to bed I have always had a problem sleeping alone, so to help get over my fear momma stays till I fall asleep.

I always feel like am burning and I get images like an accident in my sleep.

Momma says its cause of stress.

I wake up from sleep and check the clock beside my bed it was just 2:30 in the morning.

As usual I had the dream where there's an accident and fire every where.

I don't know I just feel like I really need water. I check my drawer but the jug on it is empty.

I guess I forgot to fill it before I went to sleep. I should get some water downstairs.

Hmmn I kinda am hearing some sounds who might that be?.

On getting closer I could make out a few words “The families were easy targets but you know the third target the Harrison's is not going to be an easy target”.

What the hell!!!. Am I really hearing what I am now. I was aiming at running back to my room, as I was about the turn back I mistakenly hit a vase.

I made a loud noise probably alerting who ever that was, but what were they doing at my  house.

And just as I suspected they I saw shadows coming towards my direction, so I ran under the stair case.

I saw a rat and began to scream yeah I really hate rats  Holy shit!!!! their coming.

I stood from where I was hiding immediately and started to run, I ran so hard that I could feel my lungs running dry.

I ran all the way to the gate and quickly turned the lock and then ran out. I ran as fast as I could, I don't think I have ever ran this much before.

It was really hard to see as I suppose it was because of the time but then I saw and recognized a house at the end of our street.

It was owned by Mrs Choi an old Chinese woman, I usually see her at times and she would hug me so tight I couldn't breathe, I pray she'll be able to help.

I knocked on her door twice before she responded “Oh!! my boy, Carlo what are you doing here by this time of the night”.

She looked tired and she was still in her nighties, I guess I woke her up then.

“Um good morning Mrs Choi am really sorry to disturb you by this time but I hhee-aa-rrd sssome”.

I couldn't stop my self from stammering I was really scared.

Mrs Choi stroked my shoulders and stood up “Let me go get you something to  drink”.

She left and later came back with a cup of coffee “Have it son”.

I collected it and took a sip from it, it really helped calm me down and I told her all i heard and saw.

But she had this look on her face like she understood “Oh my boy come here”.

She stretched her hand to me like to say I should come for a hug and I went then she hugged me so tight as usual “I know all that happened must be taking a toll on you, its normal to have night mares in this situation, you just need to get some sleep, don't worry I have called your parents their coming to get you”.

No no no she does not understand it wasn't a dream.

But she did mention that she has called my parents. Oh no!!! I have to leave right now.

I stood up and began to run as fast as I could to get out of there and as I opened the door I saw momma and dad smiling at me.

But there was something about their smile it was like the kind of smile the bad guys give their victims like to say there is no where you can run, that kind of smile.

I tried to run back but then dad grabbed me by my collar and momma bent down and whispered in my ear “Oh my baby, if you don't stand and stop fooling around I would have to hurt Mrs Choi my baby, you don't want that do you?”.

I couldn't recognize this woman, where was my loving mother, I shook my head and then she whispered again “That's good my dear Carlo, let's go apologize to Mrs Choi or what do you think?”.

Unable to balance I answered with a shaky voice “Yes momma”.

Dad dragged me to Mrs Choi and spoke like nothing happened “Mrs Choi am really sorry for his attitude he is just going through stress with all that's happening”.

He pushed me forward as of to tell me to  apologize, so I did “Am sorry Mrs Choi”.

She nodded her head “Its okay son, come visit me when you have troubles okay, and take care of yourself ”.

With that we bed good bye and when we for outside I felt a clothing material being placed on my nose and I started to feel drowsy and then all I saw was darkness.
