Hey every one , sorry I took such a long time to update , its just that one of my friends in Egypt died , and I broke down for not being there , and I didn't have the heart to complete this story , but I think I should since its my first
Chapter 6
Unwelcomed
Jackson : sure asiah , whatever you want
Asiah asked for a paper and a pen , loren handed them to him , and he started writing down what seemed like an address .
Then he looked back at jackson , and gave him the paper
Asiah : I need you to meet someone who lives in this place
Jackson : and ? !! , what do you want me to say or pick up ?
Asiah : when you get there , you will find out
Jackson nodded , and headed out of the room and went to his car , he got in , and started driving . when he finally reached the target
he opened the door , and got out of the car , to face a small house , he walked closer , the house was a mess , some of the door steps were broken , and there were some holes in the floor , but that didn't matter at the time . he raised his hand , and knocked on the door .
a women in her early forties opened the door , and she let him into her house , as soon as he saw her , he got a little nervous
she looks familiar to me , did I see her before ? , jackson thought
She had short blonde hair , ice blue eyes just like jackson's , she was very thin , and looked really exhausted
He stared at her for a long time before she finally broke the silence
Lacey : is there anything I can do for you young man ?
His eyes were slowly tearing but he didn't make it show , he remembered who she was , but he wasn't sure , so he thought that it would be best to ask if she was the person who he thinks she is
Jackson: yes , im looking for Mrs. lacy jackson
Lacey : that's me , is there a problem or something ?
Jackson shook his head
Jackson : no , no problems at all
Lacey : then what is it ?
Jackson was now staring at the floor , not knowing how is she going to accept the sudden news
Jackson : im cody jackson , your son
Oh my god , he changed so much from the last time I saw him , I cant believe this is happening , why is this happening ? right now ? – lacey thought
Lacey : and what is it exactly that you want ?
Jackson : I missed you , don't you know how hard my life was with you not being in it , and you simply ask what is it that I want ? , aren't you at least happy that you saw me after all these years ? aren't you at least gonna hug me and say I missed you , you have grown so much , you changed into someone that I could be proud of ? don't you wanna be a mother ?
Jackson was confused , he didn't know what was he feeling , angry , sad , hurt ,
How could she be so cold ?
Lacey : no , im sorry
Jackson : sorry ?! , I have been looking for you for the past 11 years of my life , and I always imagined how its gonna be to finally settle down , and have a real family for once in my life , is that too much to ask for ?
Lacey : no , but its not gonna happen , now would you please leave ? I don't want you in my life any more , don't you ever come back here again
Jackson : fine , I will go , I just cant believe you
Lacey's heart was ripping off , kicking out her own son like that
Its for the best cody , believe me , its for the best –lacey thought
He stormed out and closed the door behind him roughly . he was so upset , and tears began rolling on his cheeks , not paying attention to where he was going , he bumped into an old lady , and her groceries fell from her hands , jackson immediately picked them up , and offered to carry them to her house and she accepted .
Then they stood in front of her door and while she was trying to find her keys , she thought it would be nice to speak with jackson for a while
The old lady : so , handsome young man , you are lacey's son , right ?
Jackson was surprised about how she knew him , he had never saw her in his entire life
Jackson : how did you know that ?
The old lady : oh , lacey and I are good friends , she is like the daughter I never had , she always helps and asks about me all the time , I live nearby her house as you can see , she always talks about you , and she showed me some very cute pictures of you when you were younger , she loves you so much , im happy you both found each other
Jackson whispered : yeah , some love that is
The old lady : did you say something dear ?
Jackson hoped she didn't hear him
Jackson : umm , n-no , I didn't say anything
The old lady : you know , she always told me that her biggest wish is to see you before she dies
Jackson didn't like what he heard
Jackson : what do you mean ?
The old lady : didn't she tell you she is sick ?
Jackson stared at the space , he thought he saw a tear in his mother's eyes when she asked him to leave , but he thought he was just making it up
Jackson : no , she didn't
The old lady : maybe she didn't want to break your heart , sweetie , don't be mad at her
Jackson : im not
Jackson understood everything now , he dropped the groceries inside the old lady's house , and walked back to his mom's and knocked again , she opened , looking mostly shocked that he came back after she treated him so hard
Lacey : I thought I said that you are not welcomed in this place
Jackson : why didn't you tell me ?
Lacey : tell you what ?
Jackson : THAT YOU ARE SICK !
There was a moment of silence in the air , lacey was staring away from jackson's eyes
Lacey : who told you that ?
Jackson : the old lady that lives next to you , but that doesn't matter now , whats the point of not telling me about this ?
Lacey : I think you know
Jackson : no I don't , and even if I did , I need to hear it from you
Lacey : jackson , I love you so much , and you have been through a lot in your life , I don't wanna give you a hard time , I don't want you to spend your time worrying on me cause I may not make it , I want you to live your life , I don't want you to grow up from the rest of the other kids , even if its gonna make you hate me forever , I don't care , I just want you to be happy
Suddenly her tears were rolling on her face like waterfalls , and then jackson did something he never thought he would do , he pulled her into a hug , a very strong hug , and he was rubbing her back , and fighting his tears at the same time
Jackson : that's stupid mom , you should have told me , I want you to be a part of my life , even if it was for a short period of time , I wanna spend time with you , and make it up for all the times we didn't get to be together .
Lacey slowly wiped her tears
Lacey : really ?
Jackson : yeah
Jackson was wearing a warm smile on his face , she smiled back
Lacey : you know what jackson , when the doctors gave me the bad news , I already lost hope although there was a good chance for surviving , but seeing you here today changes every thing , cause I lost hope at seeing you too , but , since it happened , it makes me think that maybe , there is hope after all , now I have a reason to believe in hope , its you , you came back after all these years , jackson , you are my new source of power , I will do my best , just for you
Jackson : and im sure you can do it mom
Lacey : and when this is all over , I will see what I can do to get you to live back with me
Jackson felt that this is the best thing that has ever happened in his life , having a family , no more foster homes , getting to see Melissa and his friends whenever he wants
Jackson : really ? I mean , that's awesome
Lacey : yeah , but honey , no promises , I mean , if things didn't work out you will still visit me , right ?
Jackson : of course
Then jackson remembered that there is a person he needs to thank for all this
Jackson : ummm , mom , I gotta get going , there is someone I need to see , or best to say thank , he found you and gave me your address , he is at the hospital now , so , later ?
Lacey : ok , take care , and thank him for me too
Jackson : yeah sure
He waved to his mom goodbye , and got back to his car and drove to the hospital
So , what do you think ? , I know , this is a very long chapter , but I think it's the best of all the others , anyways , I don't like too much chapters cause people get bored of it , so I will see what I can do about it .
