Alex
Every great dream begins with a dreamer always remember you have the strength the patience and the passion to reach the stars to change the world. It's a quote by Harriet Truman which my dad use to say all the time. A dreamer needs someone to believe in them Eleanor and Phi needed support protection and guidance. My heart was still racing as as I pressed my foot to the gas looking into the mirror. It's been four days of almost non-stop driving the girls were exhausted from the struggle in the basement from the guys that had grabbed them. The guys were dead I shot them but that didn't mean there weren't many more out there. Yawing I turned up the music needing some energy to pump me up I was starting to feel like I couldn't drive anymore. I wondered how my dad and my mum were doing I never thought about how much I would miss them. Did they miss me? What story had the palace told them? Did they believe I was dead in jail or missing? Was I painted as a bad guy or a victim? Whatever story they gave them I know my dad he would never believe it and he would spend his whole life stressing out worrying and he wouldn't stop looking for me. Yet I could never allow myself to be found not as long as Lenny was in danger. No not Lenny Elizabeth we had to change our names again she was Elizabeth Swift and Phi was Sutton Merritt. Right now Sutton was curled up in Liz's arms both looking gorgeous yet exhausted. I can't believe how much she was showing now she hadn't talked about who the father was I assume it was Jasper but I didn't know for sure and it wasn't really my business. Sutton never questioned her she just loved her and stood by her was it any wonder I was madly in love with Sutton? I shock my head clear your thoughts man stay focused. Where was I? I squinted seeing a sign New Mexico City" Rustling in the back seat made me look up slowly Liz was waking up hard to believe I knew her for six years I had watched the change in her when I first started she was shy sweet popular in school in every club, musical, sport, she modeled played piano, guitar drums she won dance competitions she was a leader in girl scouts, she was active she could sing like an angel. She was happy had a great relationship with everyone. She use to dream big and laugh even louder sometime after she was sixteen everything changed it broke my heart to watch yet she became tougher took less B.S.
"Alex I have to pee badly" Her voice sounded so sleepy yet the rasp had a sexiness to it also matched her face even smeared with makeup she still looked like a goddess. "I'll pull over at the next rest stop you must be getting hungry to we should be able to stop for food" She gently nudged Sutton reaching over she fixed Sutton's smeared makeup and sweat.Waking up fully Sutton smiled and leaned into kiss her. Thankfully during the night there wasn't much traffic so we made good time getting to the next rest stop. The girls hurried to the bathroom as I scouted the area keeping a close grip on my hidden gun.
How did a mum do this to her own child?
