I stared into the darkness of my mom's old bedroom, leaning my head against Andy's torso. We were spending the night at nana's house, but I couldent sleep without questions clouding up my mind about what nana had said earlier. What did she mean, has he been beating you to? Who else had my dad beaten up? racked my brain, trying to think. I finally gave up, and gently removed myself from Andy's chest, and headed out the room, and down the stairs. I saw Nana, sitting at the dining table in the kitchen, sipping a cup of tea. "Hello Nana." I said, pouring myself a cup of tea and sitting beside her."Hello sweetheart. I'm guessing your like me and can't sleep."
"Nope, I've just been thinking about stuff."
"Hope you havent been worrying. You shoudlent be worrying about anything, especially with Andy there. He cares about you Midnight, anybody can see that, and he will keep you safe. I know he will."
"I know he will Nana, it's not that i'm worrying, i'm just wondering."
"What about?"
"Nana, what did you mean when you said, he's not hitting you to?"
"Sweetie I don't think-"
"I want to know."
"Ok. You know when you were told about your mother, dying due to an illness."
"Yes. What about it?"
"Well....she didn't die of of an ilness, although she did have one."
"You mean....He..."
"Yes sweetie. He beat her to death and blamed it on her illness. That man is dangerous and I tried to get you to stay here but I had no evidence to even suggest that he was dangerous. I'm so sorry."
"No no. It's not your fault and I'm safe now."
"Well yes, that is the main thing, and that is all me and your mother ever wanted. You look like her you know. You even act like her sometimes. Thats the good thing. You didn't get anything of your farther, you got everything off your mother." She smilied at me, and I smiled back, finishing my tea. "Well sweetie, you better go back to bed otherwise you'll be the walking dead in the morning." She said, smiling at me. I kissed her night and went back upstairs, and slipped back into Andy's arms, and fell into a deep, deep sleep.
