Sam POV….
Age 10:
I woke up crying again from the same dream I always get around this time of year and
I never know were the memory comes from but it’s me when I am about five and I was playing on the floor with a little girl that had beautiful brown eyes she looks like my mom and has wavy dark hair she looks around two she is smiling then the next thing that happens my dad comes in and takes her from me. My mom is crying and trying to grab her from him asking, “why they can’t keep her” and “where is she going”, “to give her back to her”. The dream always ends with my mom telling my dad that she can’t believe he would do that and we could have taken care of her. I always ask my mom and dad what it meant but he would always just say, “It’s nothing you should worry about son just a bad dream”. Then my mom would be sad for awhile. “Sammy sweetie are you okay, Sammy can’t you hear me honey” I heard my mom ask me bringing me out of my daze. “yeah mom sorry just had a dream weird and bad dream I’m fine sorry I woke you” I told her. She looked me in the eye with tears and asked if it was “the dream” and I just shock my head yes she pulled me in and held me till I fell back asleep whispering things like she loved me and that she was sorry that this happened to us.
Six years later.
Age 16: turning 17
Waking up again from this damn dream I wish that I knew what it meant, how I could find out what it means. I finally confronted my parents about wanting to know who the little girl is in my dreams and how I knew her that was the night my dad left and I never saw him again I was eleven and when he left I thought that I would be sad but I wasn’t I was glad but still unsure of what was going on and my mom she was well she was never the same. I hate what he has done to my mom and she is sad when she thinks I’m not around or she cries herself to sleep most nights. But when September 13th comes around its like she is a totally different person we make cup cakes and then after dinner we blow a candle out and then when she thinks that I am asleep she cries and cries I know she is hiding something and this is the year I am going to find out.
I was just about to turn seventeen it’s the end of July and my birthday is on the twenty fifth, I knew my mom wanted something nice for me like a huge party but I told her I just wanted some friends and her and some of her famous cake and I would be good. I didn’t need gifts just wanted to hang out and then have some of the guys stay over and watch movies all night. Plus I figured now is a better time to look in the attic for whatever is going on in this family that I am not aware of.
It’s the night of my party and the gang is coming over soon and my mom has the house looking nice with Balloons and the cake waiting I pulled out my Xbox360 the my mom got me and started to hook it up in the living room so that the guys and I could play after everyone left. It was kind of funny how the whole Rez was coming or at least it seemed like it.
KNOCK KNOCK
“Sammy sweetie can you get the door please” my mom yelled I groaned I really and going to have to talk to her about calling me that in front of the guys.
“Ya ma I got it” I yelled as I opened the door. “Hey Sam-m-y Happy birthday” Paul said as he waked in the house with a grin on his face I couldn’t even slap him since my mom started to walk down the stairs. I just looked at his with the look that said wait till later. “Hi Mrs. Uley how are you today my mom said she will be here soon” Paul said to her trying to suck up I’m sure. “Oh Paul stop calling me Mrs. Uley its Harmony and you know it and you boys be good please till everyone gets here. Oh and Sam did you finish setting everything up for the party and have you and Paul start looking for movies to watch also that way when the older folks leave you guys can have the real party” she told us and winked as she walked away. “Dude your mom is the shit” Paul said. I started to laugh till I heard my mom say watch your mouth in there Paul Lahote or else. “Dude I swear she can hear everything” I laughed as we got the game system finished and started to pull out movies we wanted to watch. The door rang again so I went to get it and it was Quil and his mom and Grandpa Quil Sr. (scary guy when he’s mad trust me). “Hey Sam happy b-day man” Quil said. I looked to him and his mom and sad hi then looked over to old Quil and extended my hand for a shake to show that I would respect him he gladly took it then gave me his birthday wish. Well that went better then I thought. It was well into the next 30 minutes that everyone was there. The Black Family, the Clearwater’s arrived last since they had to help there friend move there house around or something. I was glad its been to long since I have seen Leah and I missed her smile she was beautiful we have been seeing each other now for about a year everyone thinks we are just friends but we know and its how we want to keep it.
“So Sam are you ready to start the party now” my mom asked walking in to the room she looked beautiful in everyway I was proud of how she has been taking things these last couple years she is stronger then any woman I know. I was brought out of thought when Jake poked me. “oh gosh mom sorry zoned out yeah least eat”. I told her. “ all right I just wanted to tell everyone thank you for coming to Sammy’s 17th birthday party glad we could celebrate as a family even if we are from different tree’s it means a lot to me that your all here” my mom told everyone I could tell that she was getting emotional.
“Harm you okay dear” Jenny asked. I looked at Paul as we looked at his mom not knowing if they knew something we didn’t. my mom just smiled and said she would get the rest of the plates as she walked out of the living room “son its okay just around this time that your mom well she gets---“ Billy tried to finish when Quil’s mom Stefani interrupted him. “Now guys lets just go sit at the table and ill make sure that Harmony, Jenny got everything okay” she said looking at me them moving her eyes to Billy then to Old Quil.
“Alright you heard the lady lets go sit down” Old Quil said. As we all walk into the dinning area its wasn’t big but it sat all us some how. I was walking in last when I heard my mom and them talking quietly. “Harm you can’t keep doing this sweetie you have to stay strong for Sam honey” Stefani told her as Paul’s mom pulls her into another hug. “I know its just around this time of the year that things get bad you know almost 14 ye---“ my mom said but I couldn’t hear the rest because Billy came into the room and asked why I was taking so long which mad my mom and her friends turn to me. “sorry mom I was just wondering if you were okay I just got here I promise” I told her even though I know that she knew that I was lying.
“Its okay Sammy I’m coming now why don’t you go ahead” she told me as she looked from Quil’s mom to Paul’s.
God what is going on there is something that I am missing and I will find out.
