Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

       

In a 17 story apartment building in a bedroom that had dark green and gray walls, off white carpet floors, a walk in closet, a twin bed with blue bed sheets, a white window with a green curtain covering it, a flat screen tv, a desktop computer sitting on top of a wood and dark gray metal desk that had a work chair sitting in front of it and a backpack full of books and school supplies sitting next to it, a bedside table with a lamp and a picture of a family (that had 2 daughters ages 5 and 9, a mom, a dad, and a son age 19), and a picture of a Cross hanging up on the wall was the son. The son had dark brown hair, green eyes, and was 5'7. He wore a tan v-neck button shirt, dark blue jeans, and brown shoes. He grabbed his backpack, and left his room to the front, grabbed his keys from off of a hook that was hanging right next to the door, opened the door, and left closing and locking the door behind him.

He made his way to the bottom floor and outside. He walked onto the sidewalk when a little girl bumped into him falling to the ground. He turned around to see a little girl with long brown hair and gray eyes. She wore a dark blue dress with yellow flowers on it and had a blue plastic headband and in one of her hand she held a baby pink blanket. Her eyes filled with tears as she wiped them away. He looked at her face as a frown came to his and asked "are you okay?" She quickly stood up while saying "I'm sorry. I'm very, very sorry! I didn't mean to." He said "hey, hey it's okay no need to…" she interrupted him saying "I'm sorry," she ran away as he watched her. He thought "God what is going on with her?" He turned back around and walked 10 blocks to an elementary school where he student taught kindergarteners.

The classroom had blue walls that had clouds painted on them along with birds and butterflies, a chalkboard, a rug with shapes and numbers on it, an area for dress up, an area for arts and crafts, a mini-stage, toy box full of toys, a bookshelf full of story books and coloring books and next to the bookshelf a couch chair, and two doors one that led outside and the other to the school hallway. There were 12 students and each student sat on the floor in front of the teacher who was sitting in the couch chair reading to them a storybook. All of the children looked and listened to her tell them the story when he entered the room. A little girl aged 5 who had her long dirty blond hair tied up into pigtails and wore overalls that cut off at the knee, white sneakers, and a pink undershirt ran up to him yelling "Angel, Angel! Your here!" She ran into his arms as he picked her up. The class looked over at them and the teacher said "good morning Mr.Rigit. Now Abigail I know your excited for your brother to come in but you know the rules, you can't jump up from off of the carpet during story time without permission. He put her down and she said "sorry Mrs.Libsteen it won't happen again." Abigail walked back over to the carpet and sat back down while Angel set up supplies for arts and crafts.

8 hours past and the day was finally over. Angel walked Abigail outside and a girl aged 9 ran up to them shouting "Angel, Angel!" He smiled and asked "what is it Lidya?" Lidya answered "are you coming over for dinner tonight," Abigail added on saying "yeah, yeah are you?!" Angel said "not tonight. I'm busy." Lidya said "awe but you never have time for us anymore!" Abigail said "yeah ever since you moved out you haven't been home." Lidya said "we miss our big brother!" Angel hugged them both while saying "I miss my two favorite little sister's too, but I have to get this paper work done." They looked at Angel and he said "tell you what I'll let you come over on the 8th. How does that sound?" Lidya said "but that's a whole month away!" Angel said "I know but that's a day I know I'll be free on. What do you say?" Lidya and Abigail looked at each other and answered "okay." The sounds of honking bounced off the air and they looked over to see their parents in a silver sedan. Abigail said "there's mommy and daddy." The girls waved goodbye to Angel while running to the car. Their dad got out of the car and helped Abigail in while Liyda got in the car and they took off.

Angel began to walk home. He was about 2 quarters of the way home when he saw 4 boys ages ranging between 12-15 pushing around the little girl with the pink blanket. One boy pulled at the blanket as she held on to it while the others pushed her. They called her names and mocked her as she cried. She cried "stop it please leave me alone," and one of the boys said "awe is the baby crying?" Another boy said "cry! Please do! Cry!" The boys laughed and she cried "please stop it! Please leave me alone!" One of the boys pulled her up off the ground by the collar of her dress and said "your lucky we don't beat you up." Angel yelled "hey," and the boy dropped the girl while they all looked at him. Angel yelled "what do you think your doing." The boy who was holding on to the blanket let go and stuttered "nothing." Another boy said "we were just having some fun." Angel said "fun? You call that fun? Picking on a 5 year old is fun to you? You know I know all of your parents and they will all be getting a call from me!" One of the boys said "please don't Angel we were just having fun," and Angel said "you boys are lucky that all you get is a call to your parents your lucky I don't call the police on you and have you sent to the detention center! You leave her alone and you better not bother her again or I will call the police on you! Now get out of here!" The boys ran off and Angel walked over to the girl helping her up as she cried. Angel said "it's alright little one. They won't bother you anymore." The little girl hugged Angel crying into his chest and he thought "God this poor child… they shouldn't have bullied her like that God. The things this child has gone though." She stopped hugging him and looked down. He said "my name is Angel what's your's?" She kept looking down answering "Hannah." Angel said "Hannah? That's a nice name." He looked down at her arm to see a minor cut that was bleeding. He said "awe honey your bleeding. Make sure your folks look at okay?" She answered "okay." He said "hey little one I know that your scared but you don't have to worry about those boys anymore." He put out his hand and said "come I'll take you home to make sure no one bothers you again." She grabbed his hand and he said "lead the way to your house." A soft smile came to her face and she began to lead him to her home.

As they walked Angel said "I've never seen you around here before. Are you new here?" She said "yeah me and my family moved here a month ago. It's a nice neighborhood… better than our others." He said "that's good." She said "I have 2 siblings in total both are my sisters. I'm the youngest! I have a mom and she's so beautiful. She has crystal blue eyes and black hair and my dad is handsome he has light brown hair and brown eyes. My momma likes to sing beautiful songs to me before bedtime! You should hear her sing." He said "well maybe I'll get to sometime."

She led him to her home that was 2 houses down from his apartment. She said "there it is my home!" He said "nice home." She said "well goodbye now, I'll see you around, and thank you for all your help today." He said "your welcome little one." She ran inside her home closing the door behind her and he walked back over to his home thinking "she is one strange child."
