"He's here."
"Who? Your dad? Well maybe-"
"No. My mom would never leave the door open. For God sakes Emma stay outside!"
She went to the end of the drive way hopeing that Jay would be alright and that his dad wasn't there.
Jays POV
Jay went inside and listened for voices, footsteps, anything. He didn't hear anything. He walked around to each room with his knife out, even though he knew his knife would help him, becuase if his dad was there he'd be well prepared for anything. Jay heard something in his moms room. He took a deep breathe and kicked in the door.
"MOM!"
He saw his mom lying naked on the floor. He quickly covered her up with a blanket before checking her pulse. Her eyes were closed and she had a trail of blood comeing from underneath her head. He didn't get a pulse, he lifted her head and felt a bloody mess in her hair.
"She hit her head. She...she's dead." Jay started crying softly. He was kneeling down next to her holding her to his chest wrapped in the sheet. "Why? Why...would this happen! God why?" Jay was holding his mom tight, she was so cold. He was crying his eyes out in sadness, but more than ever anger.
Emmas POV
Emma ran in the house after waiting too long. She heard him crying and followed the cry to what was his moms room.
"Oh my God."
She knelt down next to him and said, "Jay put her down, we need to call the police."
"No! Get out of here! I don't want you to see her! Get out!"
Emma started to cry, for him. She knew how sad he felt, she felt this way when she realized her dad was mentally retarded, pretty much dead to her. She'd never have him as a regular father. After a month of writing letters she just stopped. She had to because he never made sense and his nurse said Emma was getting his hopes up.
She ran to get the phone and immediatly called 911. She left Jay alone with his mom until the ambulance came. Emma stayed at the house and Jay went to the police station...and his mom went to the coriners.
Jays POV
"How could this happen...I should have been there! I should have been home, I could have stopped him! But instead..I was chasing some girl! Some stupid fucking girl while I should have been protecting my mom. I was never there for her when I was with Alex, she was always alone...but once the first incident happened, the phone calls, I started staying home more. It didn't last though, I couldn't contain myself. I was a bad son. She didn't deserve this. If anything I did. I should have been home!" Jay yelled to him self in the mirror of the bathroom at the police station.
An officer came in and notified Jay that there weren't any prints on his mom, but she was killed. It was staged to look like an accident. Jay told the cop it was probaly one of his dad's men. The cop said he wouldn't doubt it, the cop was one that worked on the case with Jay and his mom when they put his dad away, so he knew what was up. The cop sent Jay home in a cop car and told him that they were going to be at the house for a few days checking things out, and that they'd be there early tomorow. Jay said he'd be at a hotel until he could find a new place. He couldn't stay there with his dad knowing he still lived there.
Emma's POV
Emma took a shower and went to lay in Jay's bed. She didn't know what else to do. She thought she should leave, but she didn't know if she should leave him home by himself or what.
Jay came home around 8 o clock. He ignored Emma when he went in his room and started to pack his stuff, but he did get her bag and put it next to hers when he was done. He knew she was awake so he said aloud, "We are leaving, I'm going to a hotel, you can come with me, or go home or go on your own. I just need to get out of here." She got up and walked over to him and put her arms around him. She held him close to her and rested her head on his chest. She'd only been in a tank top and boyshorts, since she'd been sleeping all day. He held her back and started to cry but quickly shrugged it off. "Let's go." Emma grabbed Jay's hand and her bag with her other hand and he grabbed his bag and they were off. Emma still had 250 dollars, and who knew how much Jay had, but she was sure he got a bunch from his mom.
