Nobody Knows
Chapter 2 – An Untold Past
Jamie had never had an easy life. When he was little he lived in Cape Cod Main with his mother and abusive father. His dad used to hit him and his mom all the time. It happened so often that by the age of ten Jamie was as pro at hiding injuries and bruises and he could tell a good lie to explain the bruises that he couldn't hide. It was his everyday life for a while, until about four years ago that is.
Four years ago when Jamie was twelve years old his father Andrew Waite came home really drunk and immediately started beating his mom. Jamie tried to stop him, but he want' strong enough and his dad grabbed him and threw him against the wall with so much force that Jamie blacked out.
When Jamie came to the net morning he knew that something want' right. The house was way too quiet. He picked himself up of the floor and searched the house for his mom. He couldn't find her anywhere. When he walked into the kitchen Jamie saw a sight that he will never be able to forget. His mom was lying unconscious on the floor of the kitchen, and there was a puddle of blood behind her head. Jamie grabbed the phone and dialed 911. Through his tears he was able to tell the dispatcher what had happened and in no time the police and paramedics were there, but it was too late and Jamie knew it. They wouldn't be able to help his mom. He was taken to the police station after getting looked at by a paramedic. He sat for hours and answered questions about his mom and dad. They asked him if he had any family members, but he didn't. He was still at the police station when they brought his father in. Jamie could still remember the pure hate that filled his fathers eyes when he caught a glimpse of Jamie. That very day Jamie was sent to live with a foster family in Kingsport and he's been there ever since.
Jamie stayed with that family for a few years but just last year the family decided to move to Oakland. They wanted to take Jamie with them but he didn't want to move again. Instead he petioned the court for emancipation. It was granted and Jamie became his own legal guardian. The state helped Jamie get an apartment and he gets a check in the mail every month for food and things until he turns 18.
To Jamie it looked as if his life might turn out alright. But he sure didn't want his friends to find out. He'd die before he let his friends find out anything about his life...
okay, first off I don't know how the cout thing works so if that's not right I apologize. I know it's short but I'm working on it. This is all pretty new to me.
