THANKS
The next day Jen woke to her cell phone ringing. She pushed herself to sit up in bed and realised that she was alone. She was disappointed but busied herself in trying to find her phone. She reached over onto her night stand and answered it.
"What?" jen demanded
"Jen?" a small voice echoed from the other end
"Toby? Toby where is your mom?" Jen asked worried
"Here" he said
"Put her on" Jen said wondering why this 5 year old was calling her by himself. How did he even know how to do this
"She is sleeping. She's not waking up. Can you come and visit" Toby asked
"Sure thing." Jen stated, "I'll be right there"
Jen grabbed a t-shirt and a pair of jeans, grabbed her keys and ran out the door.
She arrived at her sisters building. Which just so happens to be Billy's building too. Joe was walking to his car in the parking lot and noticed Jen.
"Hey, where are you going?" Joe asked curious
"Something is wrong" jen said
"What is wrong? How do you know something is wrong?" Joe asked
"I don't have time for 20 questions Joe" Jen said as she rushed by Joe and into the apt building. Joe followed closely behind. Jen was in such a rush to make it up to her sister's apt that she didn't notice Joe calling Billy.
Jen busted through the door and seen Toby sitting on the floor with the phone beside him. Beside him and the phone was his mom on the floor. Jen picked up Toby and handed him to Joe.
"Put him in a separate room" it wasn't her asking it was her demanding.
Joe didn't want to argue he put Toby in his room and told him to stay put. Jen hurried over to her sister and breathed in a deep breath. She checked her for a pulse unable to breathe. It took a few second for her to find it but when she let out a huge sigh of release. Jen started to turn her sister to her side when her sister woke up.
"Jesus Christ Sam! You scared the shit out of me" Jen stated. Unaware that Billy was standing in the doorway
"Wha? What's going on?" Sam turned and looked at Jen. Jen knew by the way she looked that she was using again.
"Sam, Toby called me. Saying you were sleeping and not waking up. You're using again" it wasn't a question. Jen knew she was
"What? No, I'm not" Sam said standing and holding her head
"don't fuckin lie to me Sam! The least you can do it not lie to me!"
"I'm not lying" Sam stated walking away from Jen into the Kitchen
"Don't you fucking walk away from me either." Jen said pulling on Sam's arm
"Jesus Jen, chill" Sam stated
"you want me to chill? You have some fucking nerve my dear. I uproot my life. I come here to help you out with your expenses to help you get back on your feet and you tell me to chill. NO! You fuckin chill and take care of your responsibilities. Your little boy called me not knowing if his mom was going to wake the fuck up. What is wrong with you?" Jen yelled
No one said a word.
"I fucking help pay your bills. I pay for Toby' daycare and this is what I get in return. A junkie fucking sister? That little boy deserves better than you" Jen stated getting in Sam's face
Sam looked Jen in the eyes
"You always thought you were so much better than us. Just cause you got out. Lucky you, you got out. Well guess what I didn't. I didn't get my second shot so fuck you" Sam stated with hate in her eyes
Without even thinking Jen lifted her hand and slapped Sam in the face.
Billy walked over and grabbed Jen from doing any further damage. This was when Jen finally noticed he was even there. Jen shrugged from Billy's grasp.
"How fucking dare you judge me." Sam stated, "when your prize boyfriend there sells me my shit"
"Wha?" Jen asked turning to look at Billy. Jen's eyes darted from Billy to her sister.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Jen stated looking at Billy
"No!" Sam yelled, "I'm not. He sold me my shit last night. And when I don't have money he takes what he wants if you know what I mean?"
Jen was speechless. Can this really be happening.
"But don't worry last night I had money" Sam said cockily
Jen didn't say a work she turned and walked into the room where Toby was and packed a bag for him. She walked out of his room with his bag in one hand and Toby's hand in the other.
"Where are you taking him?" Sam asked with no emotion
"To stay with me until you can get your shit together." Jen said. Jen turned and looked at her sister "Get your shit together or stay here and rot, it's your choice. But my money is no longer bailing you out"
"You can't just take him. I can report you for kidnapping" Sam stated
"If you do that, I'll let them know how his mother is a junkie and he will go into a home. You want that?" Jen asked
Sam shook her head no.
"Then he is coming with me until you can sort your shit out. I suggest you do it soon." Jen walked out of her sister's apt and past Billy with Toby in hand.
Billy ran up to Jen and tried to stop her from leaving. Jen turned on her heal.
"I am going to tell you this once and only once Darley. Stay away from me. Don't come near me or there will be consequences" Jen stated
Billy went to speak but Jen hushed him before he could with her next line
"I don't have time for your bullshit drama. I have the kid with me and we are over so do me a favour and forget I even existed"
Jen put Toby in the car and sped off in disbelief.
