Always mine

17. Safe

Emme's POV
Alex and Jen aren't home so it's time for me and Ella to continue our research, I go to Ella's room to decide what is our next move.

Ella: Hi Emme, listen, I think is time that we tell Jen what we know, I know you don't want to tell her but there's no much we can do if she doesn't know.

Emme: Ella, I don't want her to have to worry about anything else, if we do tell her and it turns out Alex wasn't part of it she'll be pissed with us.

Ella: Yeah, but we can't do much without Jen's help. Let's try, okay? The sooner we tell Jen,  the sooner we'll find Max, hopefully.

Emme: Okay, but we have to be careful, nobody else should know.

A couple of hours later my mom came back from work and there's nobody else at home so it's just me, Ella, and mom; it's the perfect moment to tell her.

Emme: Hey mom.

Jen: Hey girls! How you doin?

Ella: Good, there's something we want to talk to you about.

Jen: Okay...everything alright?

Emme: It's about Max...and Alex.

Jen: W-What do you mean? Alex?

Emme: I've noticed that since the accident last year Alex seems to be a little distant, he's always late from work, he always avoids talking about Beau and he doesn't talk about Max since he disappeared. I told Ella and she also agreed that mm...maybe Alex has something to do with...mm... Max's disappearance...

Jen: What?! How could you possibly think that?

Ella: We know it's pretty big and maybe hard to believe but Emme is right, Why could he be so late from work almost every day? Jen, please, believe us, we need your help, there's no much else we can do to find out where is Max.

Emme: We were thinking that maybe we can follow Alex to "work" and find out if he really is helping Beau and if he knows where Max is. But we can't do it alone.

She just stays quiet for a minute, I can't even imagine everything that's going through her head right now, it was hard for me to believe that Alex was part of this so it must be really hard for my mom too.

Jen: Mm...Okay...I'm not sure what to believe but you guys have a point, and we don't lose anything with trying right? Tomorrow morning Alex is leaving at 9 am so that's when we're following him.

Ella: Okay, thanks, Jen. We appreciate that you help us.

Jen: Of course, but I don't completely agree with your plan and I'm not sure if Alex is part of this or not, so I'm just doing this to be 100% sure.

The next day...

Jen's POV

So, Alex just left the house and we got into the car to follow him...I can't believe I'm doing this, but what if the girls are right? What if he helped Beau kidnap Max? I can't stand being away from Max for so long, so I have to do this and face the truth, whatever it is.

We have been following Alex for half an hour now and for sure his office isn't so far, I'm starting to panic because every minute that passes I believe more and more than Alex knows where Max is, and that breaks me, I love Alex and I don't want to be heartbroken over a guy again, I wanted him to be the one.

We finally arrived at a cabin, we got off the car and follow Alex, he never noticed us which is great. He arrives at the door and I see my worst nightmare, Beau, they talk for a couple of minutes and Alex goes into the cabin.

So he's on Beau's side...he helped kidnap my son...he betrayed me...he hurt me, Alex knows damn well everything Beau did to me and know he just helps him knowing everything I've been through?

I look at Emme and Ella, and Emme looks shocked and I can tell Ella is about to cry, poor thing, she must feel awful, I feel bad for her and Tashi, How could Alex do this to me, to his girls?

Ella: S-Should we call the police?

Jen: Yes.

Emme: OMG...guys look! Over there on that corner! It's Max and Alex!

Jen: Omg...what are they doing? I have to go, girls stay here.

Emme: Mom no, stay here, the police will come soon, we shouldn't go, we don't know what Alex and Beau will do if they see us.

My baby, I just want to run towards him, hug him and never let him go, but Emme is right, if Alex and Beau see me they can hurt me and the girls. I just want my babies and me to be safe.

Max and Alex kept talking for some minutes and then Beau appear and did not seem happy, at all, we heard him yelling something to Max and he got inside and then Alex and Beau got inside. I was about to run towards the cabin to save Max and the police arrived.

We came closer and then the police took Beau in handcuffs and then I see Max...the instant he sees me, he runes the fastest he could and hugged me tight, my boy...I'm so happy he's safe now, we are both hugging each other and crying, I was so scared of losing him, I can't imagine my life without my coconuts.

Jen: Omg, my baby, I'm so sorry this happened...you're safe now, okay?... I will never let you go...i love you so much.

Max: I missed you, mommy...I'm sorry...if I just listened to you and didn't go to that coffee shop alone none of this could've happened.

Jen: Don't say that, nothing of this is your fault baby, you're a good boy.

Then Emme and Ella hugged Max and we had a really emotional moment there until we see the ambulance coming and the cops taking Alex out of the cabin. I'm not sure what to do, I don't wanna confront him but at the same time, I want to go and punch him in his fucking face.

I finally decide to go and get closer enough so he could see me and punch him.

Jen: So you knew about this the whole motherfucking time? You helped the person who has made my life impossible make my life even worse?! What the fuck were you thinking Alex?!

Alex: I'm sorry, i-i can't explain it to you, but I had to do it, I had to protect you,

Jen: No! you didn't have to do it! And how in hell were you "protecting me"? Is protecting me mean kidnap my son!? You could've just said no to Beau! You betrayed me you fucking asshole-

I was going to continue screaming at him and punching him, but the cops made me stop and took Alex to the ambulance cause he was hurt, Beau hit him really bad and I also punched him on the face so he's bleeding everywhere.

Well, I don't regret punching him for sure, Beau is going to jail which calms me A LOT. So things are kinda solved now, but Alex...he broke my heart, I thought he was the one, I thought we were going to grow old together...damn it, I even thought of having more kids with him, and now all that is over...
