“ NOOOOO MOM YOU PROMISED TO NEVER LEAVE ME! WHY DID YOU LIEEEEE!” I screamed at the top of my voice as I sat on my feet lowering my head
I felt hands on me as I shrugged them off.
“ Leave me alone as I just want to die.” I proclaimed as I cried hearing gasps
It was at that moment I felt a slap across the left side of my face. I went wide eyed as I looked up to see it was Ellie my god mother. Her face was one of hurt and love. I watched as she knelt in front of me wrapping her arms around me.
“ Don’t you every say that again. You have family Heath,you have us. I am sorry your family did this to you, but you still have family that love you. We will help get you through this.” Ellie says to me as my tears run with hers before she continued “ We love you Heath so very much. Verna, Kiko, and I love you as mothers. Mike, Nate, and Ricky love you as Fathers. Heath open your eyes as we are you family now.”
I listened to her words and felt them to be true. I heard Mike talking to someone as was Chris. Ellie let me cry on her shoulder as she rocked me back and forth. It was around that time we heard a voice come from behind Ellie.
“ Heath is that you hun?” A familiar voice spoke out asking
Ellie let up on her hug only to turn at the person.
“ Yes this is Heath may I ask who is asking?’ She asked the woman that I saw to me the neighbor across the street
“ Yes I am Ms. Haskell I live across the street. I was um told to give Heath this dvd, and letter that um Michelle handed to me.” Ms. Haskell explains as Ellie nods
Ellie took the dvd and letter with her right while still holding me with her left. Ellie looked back at Ms. Haskell with wondering eyes.
“ Can you tell us when they moved out?” Ellie asked getting a nod
“ They moved out the last part of April. They didn’t leave no forwarding address or told me where they were going. I just know it isn’t right for Maggie to leave her youngest son behind.” She answered stating as Ellie nodded
