Eventually, she relented and settled with calling me instead to check up with me more regularly instead,She also pledged to keep this under lock and key of her on accord for my sake.
"Make sure you call me as soon as you get home, okay?" She said in a very sincere tone.
Which made me feel bad about laughing since It was out of charater.But of course, this didn't go on without getting checked,she went on to letcher me and scold me for it.
We stayed on the phone for a couple more hours before I decided to finally start my car and head home.
"Remember, call me when you get home, jen. I mean it,"
"Alright, I will,"
When the phone hung up, I turned on my engine and shifted my car into reverse only to have to immediately have to shift back to the park when I hit something.
"Fuck!"
I swing my door open and rush to the rear of my car as my arm automatically closed my car door.
"I am so sor-" I freeze as my whole body goes cold.
My face pales as I notice the familiar tattoo on his shoulder,and his black curly hair.It was Damien,my ex-boyfriend from two years ago.I watched as he got up groaning in pain as he clutched his side.
My heart screamed at my body to run but it stood frozen,my eyes trained on him as he moved.He opened his mouth to yell only to pause once his eyes landed on me.
"Janette?" He said in disbelief,hearing his voice sent my nerves clawing at my skin.
He rushed to his feet,staggering in the process.He swayed and staggered as he tried to get a proper footing,All while I could feel the legs tremble as my heart roared loudly in my ear.
He took a shaky foot foward prompting me to take a step back.
"It really is you,Jannett"
Once he was properly stand he took a step towards me,his hand reaching out to grab me.My body recoilded and as every fiber in me told me to run,and with shaking hands my feet rushed backwards.
"Janette you fucking-"
My back colladed with my car,I scrambled to the side of my car swinging the door opened and getting inside only for him to stop the door from closing.
"Where do you think your going huh?"
He yanked me out of the car and threw me to the pavement,I screamed in fear only to have his foot to collade into my stomach causing me to gage.
"You really thought you could just go and leave me to build a new life with my baby and your little girl friend?!"
"No I-" "Then what Jannette,what did you leave me for,hmm?"
I opened my mouth to say something only for the words to get caught in my throat.
"I-i didn't i-" "You what!?" He screamed into my face as he hovered over me.
I start to sob,my body trembling helplessly as my innerbeing yelled at me to do something,anything.
"I DON'T HAVE YOUR DAMN BABY!,"
As soon as those words left my mouth the look in his eyes became more deranged.Then the last thing I saw was his fist speeding towards my face before everything faded to black.
When my eyes reopened I found myself laying in a dark and small space.I was in trunk and from what I could tell from the feeling of the tired vibrating against the trunks floor we were in motion.
I Search the trunk for a latch,tag or lever,anything that might allow me to escape to the backseat.I test it and I'm able to peer out through the crack of the chair.
I saw Damien impatiently tapping his finger on the stirring wheel.I notice the streat light and notice it's red.
I take a encouraging breath in before jumping into action.I pull the lever and slide out the trunk and Immediately move to open the door.
He notices but he I quickly open the door and climb out the car.He opens his door and chases me as I bolt away.I weave around the car to get to the side walk.
"Help!"
I Scream loudly but no one moves,He lunges towards me about to grab me only to be sent flying back by a punch.
"HANDS OFF CREEP!"
It was Kuan,I had a million of questions running through my head but In this moment all I did was hide behind them.
"So is this the little bitch you left me for?!"
Before he can do anymore a man grabbed him by his arm.The man looked liked he stood around 5'4 and he had blue died hair.
"Hey man back off" The man spoke.
"And who the fuck are-" The man punched him knocking him out.
"You lady's alright?"
We nod and he sighed in relief,
"Hold on I'm gonna call the copes real quick"
When the cops arrived they arrested Damien and took me and Kuan home after collecting our statements.That day I didn't mind It touching me as it held me close.
It made me feel safe in a strange way,They didn't say anything and neither did I.It was a comfortable silence.
Gloria called and yelled at me for not calling her like I said I would,But all I could respond with was sobs.As i did I can hear her panic and bombard me with questions.
This went on for hours until she finally said "I'm coming over"before hanging up.
When she arrived I was still sobbing on the floor,Kaun opened the door for her only for her shove them out the way to get to me.
"What did you do to her?!"Gorgia yelled at kuan furiously as she held me in her arms.
"Nothing I didn't do anything-" "Bullshit!"
All I could do is sob my hands latching into her shirt as I did,Gorgia decided to turn her attention to comforting me.She rocked me side to side as she rubbed small circles on my back.
"Damien," I finally choked out.
Gorgia froze before continuing to comfort me.
"He's in jail but,I he knows I had them.God i should've said I didn't have her!"I sobbed.
"Shh,it's okay,It's okay"
"IT'S NOT OKAY,HE'S GONNA KEEP COMING AFTER ME,HE'S GONNA COME AFTER YOU-"
"Even if he does he won't touch you,not as long as I'm here"Kaun said firmly.
I feel my body rack from the sobs.
"And I'm right here Jen,If you want me and-"
"But what if he founds out where live and-"
"Then I'll beat him to pulp,"Kaun says drwing both our attention.
"I won't let him touch any of you,I promise you I will"
They said with determinatin and steeled resolve.
"Okay" I rasped.
Gorgia wipped my face dry and then hugged me one more time before helping me stand up.
"Alright I'm going to go pick up diana and bring her here,then I'll go home and pack some clothes"
I simply nod as i hugged myself,Kaun came over to hug me again but i declined as I walked into the living room to sit down.when Gorgia left it was just me and Kaun sitting in silence.
"How did you know where I was?"
"I felt a pull and followed it to you"
I snort at their answer,
"Well that's vague"
They smile back at me making me shift uncomfortably,It shuffled closer it's hand moving to touch mine.When i didn't pull away It grabbed my hand gently and held it.
We stay this way till there was a knock at the door.Kaun got up and answered the door only quickly stepping to the side,I snort finding it silly how the she practically feared Gorgia.
"Mommy!"
Diana ran inside throwing her bag to the side unknowingly hitting Kaun as she rushed to jump into my arms.she wore her little girl scout vest and I smiled as I saw the many badages that Decorated it.
