"Lex! Oh my god. Lex! Are you okay? Where are you? Lex?" "Mom? Is that you?" "Yea sweetie, are you okay? Are you hurt?" "No no mom I'm perfectly fine" "Where are you?"
I sat there quietly "Lex?" I hung up the phone. I looked up to see Jake in the doorway. My phone began to ring again. "I think you should talk to her."
"And tell her what Jake.
She wants to know where I am." I snapped at him "Tell her that you're okay." "She knows that already. Why don't you answer because I'm not."
Jake smiled and swiped the phone before I could grab it. "Hello?" he said. "Who are you? What have you done with my daughter? Where are you?" I heard my mom scolding Jacob.
"Ma'am calm down Lex is perfectly fine." Jake said as calm as possible. "Liar where is she." I heard my mom scream. "She is okay." "You IDIOT stop avoiding my questions. I just want my daughter back."
That hit a nerve and Jake was furious. "WHY! SO YOU CAN IGNORE HER AND WORK NIGHT AND DAY AND FORGET YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER. HAVE A GOOD LIFE MISS!" he hung up the phone and sat next to me.
Jake took deep breaths to calm down. Jake's blow up made me have a painful memory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Lex I'm going to work there is leftovers in the fridge so all you have to do is heat it okay love you sweetie' 'Love you too mom.' She didn't hear me she was already half way to her car.
I ran upstairs and cried in my room. Mom wasn't coming home for awhile now. She always did this. She'd sometime leave for days at a time. Tears fell over like a water fall.
I heard a car pull up in the drive way I ran to see if it was my mom. It was my dad and he had a key to the house. I ran and hid in the best spot possible, the top rack of the closet.
I heard him yell "Where are you? When I find you, you won't see the end of it." He never found me. I thought I heard him leave. I was wrong. I got out of the closet.
And he grabbed me by the throat and slammed my head against the wall. "You really thought you could outsmart me you worthless piece of…" He was cut off because I kicked him in his groin.
"Yea I think I can." I ran out the door and to my neighbors they understood they helped me out they were practically my real parents.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Lex, Helloo." Jake started to snap his fingers in my face. "Yea Jake," "What was that about?"he asked. I sat silent for a moment. "Memories," "Oh,"
"Jake don't worry about me are you okay?" "Yea I'm fine," he said as he kissed me on the forehead. "Do you need anything?" "Nope," He said popping his lips on the 'p'.
"What were you trying to tell me before the call interrupted?" He looked like he was deep in thought he looked at me and smiled.
"That I love you." He kissed me on the lips and we laid on the couch together. I loved lying like this with Jake I always felt so safe and warm. We stayed like that for a long time until a foul smell entered my nostrils.
"Jake you didn't," "Yep I did." I tried to get up but he held me there. "Jake!"I complained. "You're not going anywhere princess."
"Fine I can just hold my breath long enough until the smell is gone." He released me. I punched him a couple times and ran out the room. "Lex! Where'd you go?"
I ran down stairs and out the front door. I jumped the creek and stopped slightly in the forest. I hid in a tree. I thought I saw Jake enter. I had to make sure my timing was perfect.
I counted to 3 and jumped down. I landed behind him and tackled him to the ground. "Gotcha," I said. "Lex get off me," a familiar voice said. "Oh Quil I'm sorry I thought you were Jake."
"Well I'm not Jake that's for sure." "Well what are you doing here?" "I saw you run over here I thought you were chasing Jake." "Oh, no I was running from Jake. He should be in the house."
"Well let's go then," He said. We walked to the house Jake was on the couch.
