Chapter 12: Flashbacks and Nightmares
"I HATE YOU LANDON! GET OUT JUST GET OUT!"
I let out a deep breath and lean up in a new play pen. Cindy doesn't have a crib yet so I'm sleeping
here. I look around the room and see tons of open space. Not a toy, book or stuffie. Not even a glimpse
of color. The walls are white and a white carpet to match. This room is a perfect example of how I feel.
Empty. I try to fall asleep but Kaylee's words continue to ring in my ears.
"I HATE YOU LANDON! GET OUT JUST GET OUT"
How could she hate me? How could she just easily throw me away? Wouldn't she act the same if she
were in my place? How could she just leave me again? Again..
*FLASHBACK*
"Kaylee PLEASE don't go!"
"How could you do this to me Landon?! I loved you!"
"She's just a friend please I I swear! I love you!"
"Just a friend?! JUST A FRIEND?! Friends don't talk like this Landon! Friends don't kiss!"
"Kaylee please hear me out I'm so sorry! Please!"
"Get out Landon! I hate you! Just get out!"
I shake my head of my thoughts and lay back down. I start to breathe heavily and squeeze my eyes
tight, trying to hold back the flood of tears that's about to break through. I go to grab my teddy bear and
feel nothing but a blanket. Not a single cozy friend to keep me company.
At least Kaylee gave me toys, at least she came in when I was crying and having bad thoughts. I turn
on my side and feel my diaper sticking to my leg. At least Kaylee changed me when I was wet. I punch
my head a few times and pull the blanket all the way over me. Stop thinking about her! She's the one
who did this to you! She's been drugging you! She's the reason you're in this mess! I continue to argue
with myself for a bit before I finally pass out and fall asleep.
I wake up a few hours later and see the sun beaming through the window. I look around for a clock of
some sort but it's even empiter in the light. I look down and notice I'm in a different outfit than last night,
some sweats and a t-shirt. I'm also dry. I feel around my diaper and notice a thicker one in place. Did
she change me while I slept? I stand up and grab on to the sides for balance.
"Cindy!" I yell. Where the hell- "CINDY!" Is this going to be her thing? Late? "CIN-!" The door swings
open and I see Mason run in. "Mason?! What the fuck where did? How are?" He lifts me up and runs
outside before I can say anything else. He pushes me into the passenger seat and speeds off. I'm in
utter shock but manage to let out a what the fuck.
"Family means nobody's left behind bro." He smiles and makes a sharp turn towards the high way.
"Alright stitch, where did you come from and how did you-" He picks up the speed and races down the
freeway. "Hey don't worry about it man, you're free, that's all that matters, now let's get you to college."
I smile and let the wind blow in my hair. "I owe you one man." Mason smiles and we drive for a while
before stopping to get gas.
"So tell me how you managed all this?" He smiles and shakes his head. "You don't wanna know man, Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
just remember no man left behind. He gets out and starts to fill up the car. I lay back and close my
eyes, ejoying my new found freedom.
"I HATE YOU LANDON! GET OUT JUST GET OUT"
I jump up and open my eyes fast. I look around and see complete darkness. "Mason?" I call out. I go to
get up but fall back down into a wet diaper. "What the-" I feel arms lift me up and lay me on the carpet.
"Good morning sunshine, mommy's just going to change you, you were crying and screaming, you
must've had a bad dream bubba." Bubba, Kaylee called me that. Wait a dream? Dammit that was all a
dream? I'm still a baby and at Cindy's? I sigh and look around while Cindy changes me. "All better
munchkin!" She picks me up and walks out. "How about some sleepy time with mommy so there's no
more bad dreams huh?" I go to resist but quickly re think it. A bed is bettet than a play pen.1
Cindy lays me down next to her and tucks me in tight, and I mean TIGHT. I can barely move. "Better
safe than sorry." She chuckles and kisses my head before rolling over and falling asleep. I feel that
lump in my throat come back and all I want to do is cry. Stupid brain making me dream up my freedom.
I bite my lip and try to hold in my emotions.
I start drifting off to sleep when I hear a tapping at the window. I lean up and look across the room. I
hear the tapping again, but louder. I see a shadowy figure stare back at me and I jump back. "What the
fuck?" I whisper. The tapping gets louder and louder before I can make out a face. "Rex?!"
