Its been a couple hours since mommy came and got me, im still worried about the last time I saw daddy. Him on his knees he looked really hurt. Mommy says daddy is this, daddy is that. I don't know what to believe anymore. Definitely the part about him not being my Daddy. Daddy has always been there as long as I can remember. Being in the car with mommy was no fun, she didn't want to play games, talk about books or talk about my best friend Christian. After about another hour she said we was here and to be on my best behavior. I asked where is here and she said something called Vegas or I think that's what she said. The lights were pretty but everyone here barely had any clothes. As me and mommy walked up to the door, she stuck the key in but before you know it some guy yanked the door open and mommy hopped in his arms and started making kissy faces. YUCK! After about 10mins mommy started to tell me this is going to be my new daddy and to listen to him at all times. I instantly started crying and said I wanted my other daddy my real daddy. Mommy shaked me by my shoulders and told me stop my crying and that it was time to grow up. The guy just laughed and walked away. I slowly wiped my tears and prayed daddy would come and get me

Its been a couple years now, its Annie birthday tomorrow she turning 14. I feel like I really let her down. I tried everything in my power to get her back but apparently carla hit the big time in vegas and their was nothing I could do. Ive managed to talk to annie one time every year for 10mins and carla was always there, so annie I couldn't really talk. She asked about Christian and always told me to tell him "soon" but I never did. I felt like he need to live his life without worrying about her. He was talking to the greys and being a regular kid. He still had some touch issues but he was handling it quite well. I didn't like how him and mrs. Lincoln was getting along but I guess he needed some kind of friend while annie was gone. I hope I can talk to her for her birthday tomorrow.

Christian! I hear Elliott yell for me, I look at my watch and realized I spent longer than I anticipated in the shower this morning, but what can a teenage boy waking up to a hard crouch. I yell five more mins and I hurry up and jump out of the shower and get dressed. Middle school is going great, ill be a freshman student next year. That should be great Elliott tells me all kinds of stories he will be a senior next year. I don't know what ill do when he is gone. Mia been driving me nuts with all these middle school dances. Talking about you need a outfit for this, a date for that. Like slow down. Im really not interested any of the sorts their not my thing due to someone might touch me. I do gotta say these last few years have been great ive been doing a lot of work outside school, which helps me save money. Hoping one day to start my own business, it's like a dream of mine to save the homeless. Its not idea yet but I still got some tweaking to do to my plan. So ive been doing work for Mrs. Lincoln, Ray and even my dad gives me allowance. is pretty cool but I feel she has a different motive than me just working on your yard but as long as get paid and she keeps her distant than were good , plus mr. Lincoln watches her like a hawk for some reason. Ray has me helping him on making furniture which I like to do cause there nothing like fresh curved wood. He mentions his daughter everytime but I cant quite remember her and I don't know why, I suppose I should ask why I cant remember her but I don't. Shit I see the time and im about to be late. As run down the stairs, mom is standing there holding my lunch, shaking her head. I know mom, im going. Elliot is clowning me asking me why I took so long, telling me I shower like a girl. I tell him to Fuck off and mind his business. I see little Mia and she quiet which is not normal. So I had to ask whats up Mia why so quiet? She looks at me and elliot and just looks like someone ruined her favorite outfit. Mia?

She finally starts talking

"I heard mommy and daddy talking today while I was eating breakfast, I don't think they knew I was there. And"

Well spit it out lil sister me and elliot both said

Pinch poke you owe me a coke. Not now elliot

" Well they talking about this little girl who use to play with us, I saw mommy swinging some photo in her hand and crying. Saying they hope she ok and that Ray will call them later, it didn't sound good. Well I saw mommy put the photo down and go up stairs so I grab the photo."

Now mia if mom finds out you took something without asking you know your gonna have to do chores.

" I know Christian but look at the photo, it looks like we were all very close. Definitely you and her.

I take the photo and me and elliot look at it.

"I just don't remember her, what about you guys?"

Im staring at this photo, were on a boat fishing and this little girl is wrapped around my back like a spider monkey while elliot is holding Mia. Im thinking and thinking but nothing is coming to mind. The fact that she touching me is even more confusing cause no one not even my family can do that, that's when elliot piped up.

" You guys don't remember that, you was young but that's Ana, Anastasia, Ray's daughter. That's the last time we all hung out. What did mom say exactly Mia?"

" Nothing except I hope she ok while crying"

I don't who that is but hopefully she ok

" you really don't remember Chris? She the one who saved you and brought you to us. The reason you find the baby bird book so valuable."

Saved me? And I do not, its just a book I had along time!

"Haha keep telling yourself that"

After all that information, school took forever. I still had the picture and I kept looking at it hoping something would ring a bell but nothing. I cant figure out why I cant remember her, if she was so important. After school was said and done, I just went home and to my room, I just didn't feel like doing anything. Which caused to call cause I was suppose to do yard work but it just didn't matter right now. I fell off into a deep sleep. I was on the patio, I was cold and scared. I look at my hands and I look so much younger, and that's when I hear the bang from the door. I was terrified, I knew this was a dream but I couldn't wake up. The banging got louder and louder. Than I felt a gentle touch on my arm and I look behind me to find this sweet angelic face, she told me everything was fine and to see me soon, than she turned black and blue and started to fade away. Than I screamed Ana and my eyes opened. I was covered in sweat and I know realized who this Ana was, she was there when no one else was. But now Im pissed cause she left me, she fucking left me.

Kids where is christian? Its not like him to miss dinner. They both shrugged at me. What am I to do with these children. Lets try again. Mia, wheres your brother? She looks weary.

"I think he went upstairs"

Ok and why is that dear, did something happen today that im not aware of?

"um…"

I prop my eyebrow letting her know I mean business and say Mia, and elliot looks just as nervous. If you kids don't spill than I just gonna have to keep your allowance money for a week. Elliot starts spilling his guts out

" Mia heard you and dad this morning and took your picture and told us about it, which neither one of them remember ana and well Christian has been off all day cause in the picture ana is touching him in no zone area and well that's kind of it"

As he takes a deep breath.

What do you mean heard us this morning? Mia piped up

" I actually saw you, I was eating and you was crying and swinging that picture around."

Oh dear, and that's when I heard it, it rang thru the house "ana" it was christian. We all got up and ran to christian room. And when we got there he was trashing the place. I walked in there to stop him and through the rage I got smacked in arm with something and it cut me and that's when carrick came in. He yelled so loud it got to Christian and he stopped in his tracks and realized what has happened.

"Mother im sorry, I didn't, I didn't know you was in here, im sorry"

Its fine my boy ill be right back.

Everyone left but Carrick.

What in the world was you thinking? Destroying you room and hurting your mother im the process. She heard you scream and came to check on you and this is what she gets. Christian put his head down in shame. I can tell he still mad, he's clenching his fist. Lets go to my office where we can sit and talk about this.

"I don't want to talk, theirs nothing to talk about"

Boy if that's the case you destroyed your room for no reason and hurt you mother.

" I meant im not ready to talk"

I sigh, I know I cant make him talk. Well in that case clean your room boy and no allowance for a week.

" But dad"

No buts Christian and I walked out. And as soon as I did my phone rang.

Hello

'Carrick its ray, im almost to Vegas, I got lost on a round about, im scared carrick, what if I cant control my temper, and I havent seen her in so long"

Ohh poor ray, we don't know much of whats going on except the hospital called and said they couldn't get ahold of carla and the only other number they could find was his.

" Ray just stay calm, you don't know whats going on or what happened. Think positive, and we are here for you if need be"

"Thanks Carrick, ill call you back"

What a day. I go check on my wife, its just a little cut but no excuse. Man I need a drink.
