Here is my third chapter! These chapters are more of a filler so you guys won't get confused throughout the story. So please be patient the action will begin soon :)
Sam pov.
I knew Sue was waiting for me to speak so I did.
"Well, my mom doesn't really know Mari and I exist anymore," I started out saying.
She gave me a sympathetic look and invited me in her home. I followed her and sat on the couch she signaled me to sit on.
"Hold on honey I'll be right back you just wait here," She said and headed through her backdoor that led to her backyard.
I was curious to know what she was going to do. I got up from the couch and slowly made my war toward the Back door Sue had just went through moments ago.
I opened it a little without making a noise and I eavesdropped.
"Harry we have to help those children," I heard Sue say to her husband Harry.
"Sue have you talked to Vicky herself about it?" Harry asked his wife.
I didn't exactly know what they were talking about, yet I continued to listen in on their private conversation.
"Harry she is always drunk and for heaven's sake she doesn't even know her kids still exist!" she exclaimed to harry.
"Okay, how about we take care of Maricela when Sammy is at school?" Harry asked his wife in question.
His wife nodded to him in agreement.
"You do realize that Vicky needs serious help don't you?" Harry questioned his wife with a serious tone.
"Of course I know, Harry darling I think we may need to take those children in and help them if Vicky won't," Sue tried to reason with Harry
What did they mean they were going to take us in? Were they going to Make me and Maricela never see my mom again?
"I heard Charlie Swan say they were taking her into rehab one day this week," Harry said to sue with a worried tone.
My mom was going away? No no no I chanted to myself. I couldn't hear this anymore, I needed to get away.
I quickly rushed out Sue's front door and my eyes were holding back the tears in them.
I ran as fast as I could. My heart was racing as my tears spilled out of my eyes. I knew I was close to home.
In the distance I could see flashing lights.
As I approached my house I saw a police cruiser.
I felt like I could no longer breath as I saw the scene in front of me unfold.
I felt paralyzed as I watched two cops do their work.
One cop had my mom cuffed up, while the other one was holding a crying and wiggling Maricela back.
I saw as Maricela had gotten loose out of the cops grip and attached her self to my mom's legs.
My mom was crying as she tried to reach Maricela.
I hadn't realized I was walking toward them until I snapped out of my daze and yelled " MOM!"
I ran toward her at full speed, but one of the cops grabbed my by my jacket.
I unzipped it and managed to get away from him.
I quickly engulfed my mom into a hug as I knew it would probably be the last hoping it would not be.
" Please do not go mom," I begged as tears blurred my vision
" Mah-me no go I love you pleez no go!" Maricela exclaimed hysterically.
" My kids I love you so much never forget that," My mom said .
" I'm sorry," my mom whispered as she was forced into the cruiser.
I watched as the police car took off.
One of the cops stayed with us waiting for another cruiser to come and pick us up.
It hurt to know that my mom's last words were "I'm sorry" those words would forever haunt me.
Did she really love us? Did she really care about us?
EARLIER THAT DAY MARICELA POV.
Maricela was hoping that Sammy would be home soon.
Her mother looked to be in her own conscious for once today.
The phone kept on ringing and her mother decided to unplug it.
Maricela just sat on the couch observing her mother.
Vicky was sober but looked like she was frustrated.
There was a knock at the door and Vicky hesitated not sure if she should answer.
Maricela decided for her and opened the door to reveal two authority figures.
"Hi honey is your mom home?" One of them asked. Maricela just nodded and let them in leading them into the living room were her mom was seated.
One cop quickly grabbed Vicky and cuffed while the other one spoke.
"Mam you are under arrest for children uncared for and excessive drinking."
Maricela did not understand their words; all she knew was that her mom was being taken away from her once again.
Mari tried to go after her mom, but a cop restrained her.
She didn't know what to do, but start crying.
She did not know how, but she managed to get away from the stranger who was holding her back from her loved one.
Mari grabbed onto her mom and held her as tightly as she could by her mother's legs.
She saw as Sammy had done the same except he had her wrapped in a hug. She begged her mother to stay.
"My kids I love you so much never forget that," Mari's mom's said.
" I'm sorry" were that last words Maricela heard her mother whisper.
She had to watch as strangers took her mother. "I'm sorry," Maricela chanted in her head. She didn't quite understand the meaning of I'm sorry, all she knew is that she loathed the word once her mother had said it.
What is wrong with me? Maricela questioned herself. Am I not worthy enough to be loved? Will Sammy leave me too? Will I ever be happy? She thought as tears slid down her cheeks.
She then began to think what had happened in her life so far.
First her real mother abandoned her.
Second, Joshua had left her with Vicky.
Thirdly, Vicky was taken away by unknown people.
Maricela just hoped that soon her life would hopefully be normal.
Was that so much to ask?
The results of Vicky laving meant that Sue and Harry Clearwater had taken custody of both Sammy and Maricela.
Sammy now shared a bedroom with a nine year old Seth.
Maricela now shared a bedroom with a thirteen year old Leah.
Sue and harry knew it was going to be a hard task raising all four children, but it was a challenge they were willing to accept.
After the whole police thing and Maricela moving into the Claerwaters, she knew tomorrow would be a little better.
" Nigh leah," Maricela said.
"Goodnight Maricela," Leah said with a smile.
Maricela drifted off to sleep dreaming of a world where there was only smiles and laughs.
Little did she know she had to go through many obstacles for her one and true happy ending.
Hey guys sorry it was a short chapter. Like I was saying it was more of a filler.
