seeing flashes of my dream as I see her silently asleep most days I have to help her in the kitchen when reaching for something or bending her back wich scares me because I’m afraid of her falling from helping her in the garden to going to the store to pick up what she needs for the house or herself this is my everyday life that while still seeing Sam on a regular basis.

 

Chapter.14

A day off work and I decide to take a stroll down to the open wide field sitting under the same tree I once slept under soaking in the shade with the sun shinning behind me.As I write in my diary explaining my week I each a peach from the still living peach tree with the juices tasting more sweeter then before over the passing by time as I walked to the backwoods this morning looking for the source of the music the other day but sad to say no luck so I picked a peach then went on my way then thought back on the tree it still had it’s fresh green leaves fresh bloomed peahes and the sun’s light above the treetop as if it’s heaven itself keeping it alive everytime one is picked another one grows in it’s place how remarkable never falling to the ground and never spoiling just walking along the trail you can smell the sweet scent of their freshness and be amazed at the color of their ripeness all that I’m saying to you is what I write as well in my diary.While eating the small chunks from the seed I close my diary and walk to the center of the field when finished where I get on my knees in prayer I haven’t soken to god in a while so thought today and now would be a good time first thanking him for my life and my mom’s health as well as my own thanking for those that are close to me and love me as well as thanking him for another I live to see doing so a rose blossoms from the ground with bright red pedals picking the rose I get to my feet then look in the sky for a brief moment thanking him for the rose then get up and walk home getting in my car then driving to the flea market in town where I go look around at jewelry store looking at section of rings one of them catching my eye but was too expensive it was white gold with a blue diamond in the center surrounded by white ones looking at the ring on my right hand.I think about the day I’d ever get married thinking it would be beautiful Man:Excuse me Liberty sorry to bother you like this but do you mind if we talk?) it was Latiya’s uncle Robert standing tall in his middle age with long black hair in a giant braid wearing a plague shirt and jeans with cowboy boots.We sit outside at a small round table pulling a letter out of his shirt pocket written by Latiya as I can recognize the hand writing in cursive saying she’s alive and well telling everyone to stay strong and if you see Liberty tell her when I get back we’re gonna ride on horseback together to the open valleys.It’s a relief to know she’s ok I been wondering how things were across the seas hoping she wasn’t getting into too much action.I give back the letter but lets me keep it and speaks on another subject Robert:Despite our family objected to her going into war we come to respect her adult decision and give her our support I’ve also noticed the angel that’s been watching you for some time as well he’s been following you a lot lately even though you might’ve missed him a few times I see him on your tail every now and again just last week I seen him in a suit sitting at the bus stop watching as you were eating donuts with that little girl as I drove by then again walking down the road from the direction of your house quiet calm and very neat and clean as the great grandson of a former chief and a descendant of my people if you never believed in angels now would be a goodtime) he gets up leaving me stunned by his words not knowing what to say I get up and head back into the store picking out a gift to bring home to mom.I pull into the driveway seeing mom refill her birdfeeder for the robins that and cardinals that come by to snack on it wich she enjoys watching as I approach her with a bag in my hand curious she digs inside thanking me with a smile seeing it’s a yellow dress with butterflies around the bottom then hugs me with a kiss then goes inside with me following behind.Mom looks in the mirror on the closet door holding the dress to her seeing how it looks smiling with full satisfaction seeing as her happiness shine Mom:It’s lovely dear I love it)later that evening before going to bed I read Latiya’s letter onemore time then lay it on my nightstand then cut off the lamp leaving me only with the moonlight piercing through my window as a main source.Looking up at the ceiling I close my eyes slowly drifting off to sleep then hearing Latiya’s voice I start dreaming seeing us as highschool as younger kids in highschool laughing and clowning around like we use to.Dreaming back to me and her first meeting in the bathroom then seeing me and her sitting at the back table of the cafeteria seeing us sit in the gym as she gave me advice on boys like she was the wife of Dr.Phil then the dreams of good times turn to a nightmare as a flash of light takes me to a new place where I see myself standing in a dry dessert in the middle of nowhere just a little breeze and the sun beaming down on me and silence everywhere and no one to be seen.I hear Latiya’s voice call my name sounding as if she’s in danger I turn around to see someone running towards me in the distance at first I can’t make out who it is because of the rays of the sun wich caused a blur adjusting my eyes the person in front of me starts to get clearer in vision it was Latiya she’s running in military gear and uniform she calls my name in head in a whisper and I run towards her as she is to me getting closer closer closer closer and closer til KABLAAAM!!!! A gunshot is heard then another and some more I could tell they were coming from behind her as she falls to the ground crawling with her hand reaching out to me then another gunshot fires off and it ends her life in wich I wake up quick in a cold sweat.
