Angela stood on the edge of the cliff and breathed in the cold, salty midnight breeze. It soothed her when everything was falling apart.
A buzzing sound shot through the absolute serenity of the moment. Angela sighed and picked up her cellphone.
"Angie, I heard what happened. I'm sorry, but you have to come back, we need you around here" Amy sounded desperate on the phone, almost hysterical.
"Amy, I'm sorry too, I'll come back soon, I promise, just not right now." Angela felt guilty but hung up the phone anyway. She let the device fall to the ground and sat down, her legs dangling from the edge. She stayed that way for hours, or maybe days, she couldn't tell. It didn't matter.

A small toddler girl, snuggled in his arms, fusses in her sleep. A loud crash, followed by a cry of pain, makes the boy flinch and tear up. He pulls the baby girl close and covers his ears. 'Dad is hurting mom again' The boy cries softly, so as not to be heard, weeping at the unfairness of the world. Hours later, his bedroom door opens, and a soft hand touches his cheek. "Ian, my baby boy, I've got to go for a while, ok?" A woman's voice calls softly. The boy sits up, wiping his tears. "How long will you be gone?" The boy sniffles. "Mom is going to live with Uncle Sam for a while, just so she can make dad's company bigger. Make sure you take good care of Naomi. Don't forget to clean up after yourself, and get good grades in school." The boy's mother ruffles his hair and kisses him on the cheek. "I love you buddy. I'll be back in a few years. I know that sounds like a long time but, I'll be back before you know it. I just have to make dad happy." The boy nods, refusing to cry. 'I have to protect Naomi. I'm alone now.' the boy thinks to himself, determined. His mother stands up and walks away, her feet softly padding down the hallway.Complete
