As I touched his soft small little face, I knew right then that I wouldn't see him, for a very long time. He wasn't safe, but neither was I; but it was either him or me. So I gave him to my sister and sent them in a cab to Minnesota. I have to end this, once and for all.

"No, no! You told me we had five years! It's been two!" I yelled into the phone, this guy was pissing me off, Mather isn't supposed to be out for another three years. "No, don't give me none of this 'he got out early for good behaviour' crap! He's never going to leave me alone, if he gets the chance he might hurt Jarren. Yes I know...get out of town, right." I slammed the phone down and slowly slid down my counter to my knees and began to sob into my shirt. I looked to see little pairs of feet, and looked up to see my little boy Jarren looking at me. "What's wrong mommy? Why are you crying?" He asked with such innocence.
"Mommy's just having a bad day. Don't worry I'll be alright."
"I hope" I mumbled pulling my son into a big warm hug. "Now, how about some breakfast." While picking up Jarren the phone rang once again. "Ugh, what is it now!?" I am becoming more agitated at this day. I picked up the phone and held it in the crook of my neck while I set Jarren in his little chair. He had just turned 5. "Yes, hello?" I answered calmly but inside I was burning flames of hell. A fury inside me that just wanted to escape. Ever since the Mather incident Jarren and I have never been safe. Triple locks on the doors and windows, plexiglass on everything, I know it's a little over the top but, I just need to feel safe; Jarren needs to feel safe, and I will do anything in my power to keep him safe. Even if that means my life.
"Mhmm. Yes I know, but you guys told me that he'd have 10 years to life. The judge sentences him to 5?! Ad he gets out in two. Your system is whack. And you can't even guarantee me protection from this monster." I walked out of the room so Jarren wouldn't hear me. "You listen to me, if I have to kill him to make sure that my family is safe, I will. Do I make myself clear mister reeding?" I seethed. The words like venom on my teeth. So poisonous, so daunting you could almost feel him shiver out of his skin. He breathes. Takes in a breath to speak, but my attention was torn away to a blood curdling scream in the other room. Dropping the phone I ran into the other room, where my dear Jarren looked straight into the eyes of his father, fear in his deep blue eyes. I froze in an instant. The face. The eyes. Fear ran throughout my body, leaving me incapable to speak. This monster comes into my home, for what? Forgiveness? He smirked his evil grin that once used to fool me, trap me, seduce me. He promised me love and prosperity. But I got betrayal and pain. Now it was his turn, he will be the one to pay this time.
