Want to Play A Game

On my way to my mother’s house, I am so confused on why she is not answering her phone. Knowing Jake’s true intentions terrify me what if he hurts my mother. Knowing that my mother and I never agree on anything, but she’s all I have in this world. I can’t lose her she’s everything to me even though we fight we still love each other.

Matt sees the terrified expression that I have on my face he grabs a hold of my hand and says, “Jessica she is fine maybe her phone is just dead.”

“I hope your right Matt what if he went to my mother’s before he came to my house if he was going to hurt me It’s possible that he would hurt her to?”

“But Jessica, they had a special relationship, so maybe he couldn’t bring his self to hurt her.”

I think to myself maybe Matt is right, they always took each other side no matter what. Even if my side was right, they always stood by each other. That gives me hope that he would not hurt her, but he’s not in the right mind right now. I continue to call her, but no answer. I believe that she would answer if I was calling her there’s no doubt even if she’s mad at me.

As we are getting closer to her house and starting to get more nervous. What if I walk into something that isn’t what I want to see? What if he hurt her, and that’s why she’s not answering? I try to escape my thoughts, but I can’t tear start to form in my eyes. I don’t think I’ve ever been so terrified in my life that something actually could be wrong. Even when Jake put his hands on me, I wasn’t scared as I am at this moment.

As Matt pulls in to my mother’s house, I see the doors open. I think her to myself why is the door open it should be shut. The car comes to a stop I am terrified to get out not knowing what is behind that open door. Thinking of something was wrong, her neighbors would see the door open why wouldn’t they call.

“Jessica, do you want me to go in with you.”

I look at him not sure what to say of course I want him to go in with me. I am not sure how I am going to react if something is wrong. I will need him beside me, someone beside me, to comfort me. Would he comfort me if I needed comfort or would he just let me stand there? There are no feelings involved, but I need someone that least cares a little about me. I don’t want him to see me fall apart.

“No I will be fine I can go in by myself I don’t want to put you in any kind of situation that might make you feel uncomfortable.”

“Jessica, I don’t mind you’re not going to make me feel uncomfortable I want to be there if you need help.”

Knowing that we are wasting time in case something is actually wrong I look at him “OK if you want to come in you can come in with me.” I am not really sure what I am walking into nice to have somebody with me.

We get out of his Jeep to start walking up to my mother’s door I hear something it sounds like laughter. I start to feel relieved that I hear laughter I get angry wondering why the hell she wouldn’t answer her phone. I walked into the door nothing seems disturbed.

“I yell mom are you home?”

I follow the laughter and I see a room full of woman. Then I hear her voice Relief over fills my body once I hear her voice. I know that she is all right, so glad she is OK.

She looks at me “Jessica what are you doing here I didn’t know you were coming over.”

“Mom I called your phone why haven’t you answered I was worried sick.”

“Well now you know how I felt when I called you 10 times, and you never answered your phone.”

“Mom Jake came to my apartment I talked to him, I really thought everything was ok, and then he tried to kidnap me.”

“What he came to your apartment did you call the police there still looking for him, he escaped from his parents’ house.”

“He came up with a line of bullshit that I thought was true He was so convincing I believed him.”

“Oh I am just happy that your OK I can’t believe he came after you.”

She hugs me tight I can feel how relieved she is that I’m OK Even though we fight our love for each other is strong. “I am so sorry I didn’t answer your phone I didn’t even check your messages.”

“It’s fine mom I am just glad that your ok we just need to answer each other’s calls.”

“Yes we do sweetheart I am sorry that I worried you but it is so nice to see you it’s been too long.”

“Mom why was your door wide open?”

“One of the ladies walking in must have just forgot to shut the door, sweetheart.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“All right well I will let you get back to your party I am happy that you’re alright.”

“Honey you can stay if you want I could take you home later or get one of the ladies to drop you off.”

“Mom I really appreciate it, but I am exhausted and my head is killing me I just want to go home call me later after everyone leaves I love you. Just be careful I am not sure where went We thought the cops got him, but they didn’t so be safe.”

“Don’t you worry about me sweetheart I will be just fine I’ll call you later bye.”

I look at Matt “thank you so much for going in with me, I am sorry that my mother didn’t even acknowledge you are there she’s like that sometimes.”

“It’s fine I wasn’t there for her, I was there for you.”
