We were watching a movie when I noticed the cuts on her legs.
"How did you get those cute?" I asked her.
"My cat just scratched me is all." she told me.
She smiled at me, but her eyes didn't feel as warm as they usually are.
"Are you alright?" I asked her.
"I'm fine," she told me."Do you want to play Checkers?" she asked me.
"Sure." I said.
I never saw her wear shorts again.

We were eating lunch when I noticed the cuts on her arm.
"How did you get those cuts?" I asked her.
"My cat had little kittens who love to play." she told me.
She smlied at me, but her smile looked streched and fake.
"Are you alright?" I asked her.
"I'm fine," she told me." Do you wan to play at the park?"she asked me.
"Sure." I said.
I never saw her wear t-shirts again.

Me and Mommy were talking when she explained it to me.
"People were being me to her," Mommy said."so she went to a better place."
"Where did she go?" I asked Mommy.
Mommy's eyes were turning red and tears were starting to fall down her face.
"Mommy, where did she go?" I asked again.
All that Mommy did was point to the ceiling.
"Oh," I said." I get it.
Mommy gave me a big hug and told me she that she loves me.
I hope she is doing better in Canada, I thought.
I never saw her again.

I wrote this in the perspective of a little child. The 'she' in the story is a babysitter who is very close to the family.
