running from the past

chapter 2

present day

I live in new york with Nicole .I took her up on her offer about six moths ago .I am currently working two jobs one is a waitress at the cafe down the street.The other one is working at this clothing store .I have 10,000 dollars saved up right now i am planning on going to london in about six months .I thought that if i had 15,000 i could be covered for a while .And so i could only work one job rather than two.

I dont like being in newyork but Nicole lives in a good part of town so she tells me not to worry.But how can i not worry when there is things that have happened in this city i dont want to look back on.

flashback

I am 14 ,my mom moved me and my siblings to mannhattan so we would be harder to track down or so we thought.my mom was working three jobs to support us .I knew she worked at this factory,she was a waitress and i do not know the third one she never told me.One night i was up watching tv because i could not sleep .She walked in the door with her clothes tore and her face beaten .I asked what had happened she told me it was nothing then told me to go to bed.My bedroom was right next to hers .Everynight she would walk through the door go to her room and cry herself to sleep.No matter how many times i asked her what happened why is she crying she just tells me its nothing i need to worry about.

Four months later my mom started to get this belly like there was a baby inside her.My sister asked if we were having a brother my mom said no why.You got a belly .My mom ran to the store and got pregnacey test .She tested all of them they came back positive .I heard her crying in the bathroom. I asked if we could talk about it she said fine .She told me the whole story about how she was walking home from her third job when someone attacked her and raped her.I told her to go see a doctor.She said we did not have the money.Then i remembered that at school they told us if we have any problems or other health questions to go to the free health clinic on sunset road.I told my mom the we will go together tommorow.

We went together she found out that she was infact pregnant and that it was a boy .She was mixed emotions she told me we could not afford a baby .I asked if she wanted to give it up for adoption she said that it depends how flexable money is.

four months later

My mom gave birth to a little boy she named him jaxson.I asked if she was going to go through with adoption .She told me she had no chocie she kept it open though so he would know his family.He went to a nice family in maine who would love him and care for him.A month after my mom had jaxson she went back to work .She started getting money in really quick an good money she showed me where she kept it .She told me that if i ever need to use it in case of emergancy to do.

A few months after that my mom had to work late at her third job.And that night she never came home.I waited three days.On the third night when she did not return i called the police they said they will find her.They never did.They asked if we had relatives i simply told them a grandmother in maine but ive never met her.So we were shipped off to Maine until they found my mother.

After a year we got a call saying they found a women that fit my mother description but does not know who she is .That all she remembers is that she was kidnapped and had a daughter named isabelle.I thought how could that be when she just had jaxson 18 months ago.We went down to see her in the hospital .But she did not remember. I got upset so i ran out but when i ran out it was bright at first then pitch black.i thought did i die or did something else happen.
