Take A Chance On Us

Chapter 8

"What do you mean, Joey is gone, no that can't be true, I would have heard him leave," said Kim's mom, terrified.

"Well, he is gone, my only son is missing," cried Kim as she sat down on the couch. "How could you have let this happen? Kim said not realize what she was saying, she was just so afraid for her son.

"Kim, I'm sorry, I must have fallen asleep," said Kim's mom as she hugged her daughter.

"Just leave mom," shouted Kim. Kim's mom looked at her daughter." You shouldn't be alone right now,"

"Well, it's your fault this happen, so please just leave,"

"Fine, if that is what you want, I will leave, but remember if you need me; you know where I am,"

"Yeah," said Kim as she watched her mom walked out of the apartment. She knew that she shouldn't have shouted at her mom like that, but she was just worried about where her son could be? There were so many thoughts going through Kim's head at that moment. Did her son run away or what if someone kidnapped him? Kim picked up the phone and called the phone. She was going to find her son no matter what it takes.

About 10 minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Kim opened the door. "Thank you for coming" said Kim as she let Bosco and Faith in her apartment.

"What is the problem?" asked Faith. Kim looked at Faith with this scared look on her face. "My son is missing," Faith and Kim sat down on the couch, "What happened?" Faith asked. Kim took a deep breath before she spoke. "I had just gotten home from visiting Jimmy at the hospital, and I found that Joey was gone,"

"Who was staying with your son while you were at the hospital?" Bosco questioned..

"My mother was looking after Joey, but she didn't see anything,"

 Bosco nodded as he wrote some notes in his notepad.

"You have to find my son," cried Kim as tears started to fall down her cheeks " I'm sorry, I'm not normally like this," Kim said as she wiped away her tears.

"It is okay, I have two kids; I know exactly how you feel. I would feel exactly the same if I was in the situation that you are in," reassured Faith as she tried to calm Kim down.  Kim then gave them a description of Joey.

Faith stood up. "Just stay calm, we are going to find your son,"

"Thank you," said Kim as she showed Faith and Bosco out of the apartment. She just hopes that they can find Joey, as she doesn't know what she would do if anything happens to Joey. She went and sat down on the couch, and sighed. Suddenly she realized that Jimmy had no clue that his son was missing but how was she going to tell him? So many thoughts were going through her mind at that moment, mostly she was thinking about how Jimmy was going to take the news, would this bring us closer together or further apart?

She grabbed her keys and her jacket and left the apartment. She was going to go to the hospital and tell Jimmy, even if it tears them apart, as he deserves to know what has happened to his son.

Half an hour later,

Kim showed up at the hospital and walked towards Jimmy's room. She took a deep breath before she entered. Kim opened the door, but before she could go in, a nurse came up to her. "Miss, you can't go in there," Kim turned around. "Why?"

"Visiting hours is over, you can't visit him," said the nurse.

"I know that, but I have to talk to my boyfriend right now," said Kim firmly. 

"I'm sorry but you have to wait until tomorrow," said the nurse as she started to walked away from Kim. "I wish I could wait until tomorrow, but I have to tell him now that his son is missing," replied Kim. The nurse looked at her. "Okay… a few seconds that is it," said the nurse. "I'm sorry about your son," whispered the nurse as she walked away Kim turned to go back into Jimmy's room, and she saw that the door was wide opened. She just hopes that Jimmy didn't hear anything as that isn't how she wanted to tell him. She walked into his room, and went and sat down next to him.

"Jimmy," Kim said gently. Jimmy turned to face Kim. Kim looked up at Jimmy and could tell by the way that he was looking at her that he heard anything that she said outside of his room.

"Is it true?" Jimmy asked. Kim took a hold of his hand. "This isn't how I want for you to find out,"

"How did you want me to find out?" snapped Jimmy.  Kim got up from her seat. "I know you are mad at me, but the police are going to find him," Kim turned around and looked at Jimmy. "Say something," she said as she went up to him. There was a silent moment between them; he just looked at her with this scared look on her face.

"Jimmy, talk to me, we need to get through this together," Kim said as she sat down next to her.  She knew that he was upset, but she was as well.

"Please talk to me, Jimmy," Jimmy looked at her and took a hold of  her hand." How did this happen?" he asked as he sat up.

"I got home from seeing you and find that Joey was in his room. I asked my mom where he is, but she didn't see or hear anything. "Kim replied. " Oh Jimmy, I'm so scared, what if something has happened to Joey?"

Jimmy hugged Kim. "Everything is going to be okay, they are going to find him," he said as he held her tightly. Kim felt so safe in Jimmy's arms, like nothing could hurt her.

"Do you blame me for Joey being missing?" replied Kim as she looked  up at Jimmy. He didn't say anything, as he was sure what to say.

"I guess that is your answer," Kim said as she started to walk out of the room.

"Wait," he said. Kim turned around." What?"
