Scarred

Part 1

Gun shots fill the air.Red blood soaks my hair.My mother slowly takes her last breaths.I hide under her bed as men come and take her limp body. As I tell the children the story of the night that changed everything.

"Lana tell us how you got away from the bad people",questions Mary.

"Sorry sweetie that will be next week"

"But, Lana I....

"Mary she does not want to tell you about how she got away from the terrorists and how she got to oak view",Liam says.

I turned my head slowly ,and there was the most handsome man I have ever seen. I knew that I had just seen him, but he was something different in a good way.

"Dad......

"Come on don't make me count to three"

"Your her dad",Lana whispers

"Ya my girlfriend had her at 16,.. we were both 16."

"What happened...

"The same thing that happens to everybody, terrorists",Liam says looking down.

"Sorry ", I say.

Liam takes her home, so a am stuck with some little kids till their parents get here. After all of the parents take their kids, I walk around the little village.Often trying to find a job,sometimes just looking at the very few stores looking at the rummage that the traders brought in. As a walked to the place I call home as someone called my name.

"Lana,Lana please help my with my fence",Mrs. Draper said yelling.

"Ok be there in a minute",I say also yelling.I slam the screen door and run over to her house.

"My son Liam has been harping on me to get the hole in the fence fixed"

"Liam your son but I thought mrs. Burke was his mom," I say confused.

"No that's his babysitter",she says well hammering a nail in place.

"Ohh he never talks about you",I yell so she can hear me.

"You have talked to him",she says.

"Ya"

I start smiling so hard that my face start getting hot and the smile I have hurts my face.

"You like him .....,don't ya", Mrs. Draper said grinning.

"Yes.....,please don't tell him", I plead.

"Can't promise you anything"
