him then get the reply in a different voice as the lights cut on and I jump back in shock to see it’s Aidess standing before me in the same black and purple suit looking around no one seems to be alarmed by his presence Aidess:Or it could be the works of the God Almighty) Offering his hand the music turns to Mozart as the background me changes with the walls painted white with gold trim stretching up in the ceiling in the form of a dome the floors in surprise is white marble and my dress is pure white with glass heals shocked and amazed Aidess:It’s ok Liberty no one here is alarmed you see what they can’t while they see what they choose I take his hand with caution and slowly we dance moving our bodies to the cleansing sounds of the instruments playing with smooth tune’’Where am I?

Chapter.11

A day at work comes and I’m assembling some books In the proper order on the shelves that just got brought in this morning dressed in a buttoned up orange shirt with a matching dress and and sandals I got up this morning with a minor headache now it’s starting to come back again I take aspirin but that only helps for an hour or two and it’s only getting worse kindergarten and 3rd grade kids sit quietly reading a book or using the computer.I peak out every now and again to make sure they’re not misbehaving and that’s the best thing about my job is that I love kids I love them so much I’ll sometimes help them with their homework or fill in for a teacher that’s the fun part.Putting the last book on the shelf I hear a distant child talking in the background behind the isles in the toddler’s lounge looking behind I see little Kaylama a cute little African black girl with long pigtails to her back dark and brown skin wearing a white tee and jumper leaning back and forth in a rocking chair reading a book out loud to herself thinking how cute it is to see how smart our young children are getting everyday when they come here knowing one day they could be the somebody who makes a real change in this world.I look forward and see Latiya waving at me at the entrance Latiya joined the Military after highschool to save money for college her mom objected to it but joined anyway she departs in a few days so I thought now would be a good time to catch up on things while I still can.Take a break from work for us to go have ice cream while doing so Latiya tells me about her new life and how it’s turned around Latiya:So after mom busted me for having a guy in my bed on graduation night I joined the marines to make up for my mistake so I can come home and give mom the life she’s been wanting her whole life so I thought I’d take this as an opportunity and make it happen even if it means war) war? Latiya once upon was a wise woman of peace why war now all of a sudden? I don’t get it I hope war is not her front line position Latiya has been friend since I was 14 I’m 23 now and she’s just as young as I am and to lose your life to make one is not the way me my family or hers would ever take now she’s all G.I. Jane about this with no sweat.20minutes later we hug and say our goodbyes while she gets in a taxi to visit her family while I wave to her with a tear in my eye worried about what could happen to her but only can wish her the best knowing still within the bravery she is still that wise woman I call Latiya while driving down the road she yells out the window’’Stay strong!.I nod with a wave then go back inside.Home from work I see mom sweeping the front porch as I pull in next to the driveway hugging me with a warm welcome we go inside sitting at the dinning table drinking hot tea mom explains her day while I listen taking slow sips having woman to lady talk as we call it Mom:I know your getting some years on your hand just like I’m getting some off so I thought now would be a good time to step you up a notch she takes off the necklace I use to ask her about as a kids it’s a small gold chain with a cross and angel wings behind it putting it around my neck she kisses me with a happy early birthday I thank her for it as I look down at the charm with a smile then knock! Knock ! someone’s at the door I get up and answer it peeking my head out not shocked I see it’s James drunk and staggering James:Sorry to bother but can a brother use your bathroom I tell him no then he tries pushing me aside but I push back looking over my shoulder I see mom trying to see who’s at the door and quickly shut it with just me and James outside who studders trying to talk with booze breath James:You know that’s the problem with you females today you always talk about a man being a dog then when you get one you don’t know how to keep them and you wonder why they always leave ya’ll for someone else mmm)he hovers over me and I push him hard then before making him stumble a little he laughs it then slaps me across the face making me fall to the ground I crawl backwards as walks to the doorway but stops in his track to see a shotgun barrel pointed in his face Mom:If you wanna keep your head intact I suggest you get it moving) with his hands up he walks backwards to his car mom not satisfied shoots a hole in his windshield telling him to move faster he hurries in his car and quickly drives off mom helps me to my feet then checks to see if I’m ok nothing major but a nosebleed I go in the bathroom to clean up while mom puts the gun back in the storage closet then feeling her heart race she falls to the ground hearing the thud I run downstairs to see mom in pain quickly calling 911 I follow the ambulance to the hospital moments later while sitting in the waiting room as I wait I look at the charm of my necklace hoping and praying all goes well and that she makes it through this the nurse calls my name then explains her condition Nurse:Your mom’s heart seems to be a little weak as far as the results wise we’ll keep her here and do a few tests and see what comes and if anything happens we’ll let you know.Going home I stop at Sam’s house latenight I knock on the door to his apartment…..no answer I knock a second time……no answer turning to leave the locks on the door unlock and Sam opens it wearing only pajama pants and a t-shirt Sam:Liberty? Geez it’s 1 o clock in the morning what are you doing out here?) I ask if we could talk and he invites me in we sit on the couch where I gather my thoughts feeling emotional I take my time to explain my mother being sick telling I’m I don’t wanna be alone and he holds me close as I lay on his chest falling into a deep I fall into a deep dream.

After work I go to the hospital to check on mom,seeing her in the bed with a needle in her arm she smiles happy to see me while Sam reads a book in the waiting room Mom:I seen that man I told you about he came and brought me flowers praying that all goes well when I’m released)looking over her bed I see a dozen roses in a flower pot with balloons then hold her hand hoping she’s ok while doing so a flash from my dream she takes her hand back asking what did I dream about lastnight with a blank expression on her face I take her slowly and explain Liberty:Lastnight I had a dream of seeing you on a cliff dressed in a white gown standing over the open sea wich was oh so blue with a clear sky I approach as your calling my name even with open arms but you float off the cliff and rose to the sky with the sun rays bringing you up as they are formed in the shape of angel wings you disappeared in the sky and never came back)tears run down my face as I hug mom she herself wipes them away hugging me tight saying she’ll be ok Mom:The man told me that’s what you saw and if me going to the sky is my ticket then let it be that way) Liberty:But mom I don’t want you to leave me here alone what am I suppose to do? Who am I to turn to? I can’t take it) all she tells me to do is pray I haven’t cried this much in years and to know my mother is gonna die is more pressure then ever.Two weeks later mom gets out the hospital walking with a cane me and Sam help her to the door then surprise her with a party consisting of family and friends my uncle kisses her on the cheek then dances to the slow jazz music while mom takes seat as everyone has a good time clapping dancing and cheering
