Weak For Him || Darkness Book #1 ✔️

Chapter 86 | Popping Up

Stacey's Pov

Three weeks later

"I don't want to go home" I tell him as I wrap my arms around him, holding him to me.
"I know beautiful, but it's just for a day I'll see you Friday for the weekend and I'm much better now anyway, docs even gone" he says and I sigh knowing he's right.
"I love you baby" he tells me kissing me affectionately and I melt against him. I guess I'm going back home..
"I love you too, be good please and don't do too much, if you need me I'm a phone call away" I tell him and he nods smiling, kissing me again.
"I'll miss you beautiful, stay safe" he says and I smile and hug him again.
"I'll miss you too baby" I tell him before backing away before I don't and head over, climbing into the car. He closes the door after I've waved out the window and the gates open and close on him. I turn back around in my seat feeling sad to be leaving him here alone. I hate that he's alone. He's always alone..

***

Arriving back at home, I climb out the car and open my front door to see my mum.
"Oh my god Stacey! Where have you been I was worried sick!?" she stresses and hugs me to her. Hugging her back, I don't know what to say not wanting to tell her so I stay quiet.
"Not now mum, I need to just be on my own" I tell her and run up the stairs.
"The police have been here, they said Liam escaped from the hospital, do you know anything about that?" she questions and I pause, spinning and put on my performance..
"What? Noo!" I start to mini panic and run back down the stairs
"I need to find him mum, oh my god! I thought he was okay" I say and start crying.
"It's gonna be okay baby" she says hugging me again and I break down needing to let out all my built up emotions from everything over the past few weeks and begin to sniffle when she pulls away.
"I need to find him mum" I say to her and she sighs. It's always the same with her. I hate it.
"Baby he's gone just leave him" she says and I shake my head.
"But I love him mum, I can't" I tell her and she sighs again.
"I know you do but it's for the best, just go get some rest and I'll check on you soon" she says and I nod slowly turning walking up the stairs smiling. I did good! She clearly believes me! Pulling my phone out, I text Liam's new number..

Me: Just got home baby, I'll ring you soon. I love you and miss you already XxXx

Hitting send, I put my phone down locking it and make my way into the bathroom to quickly shower and change for work.. If I still have a job.

***

Standing in my bedroom in my towel, I decided to ring Anna and ask instead of turning up.
"Hey Anna it's Stacey.. Do I still have a job?" I ask her straight to the point and she sighs. Fucking great, that's definitely a no..
"I'd love to say yes but you didn't call or anything, so I hired someone new hun, I'm sorry" she says and I drop on my bed, sad. I loved my job as well.
"Okay, thank you for everything you've learnt me. I appreciate it" I tell her and we hang up. We'll that's shit, I came home for nothing..

Seeing Liam's text back, I check it.

Liam: Good to know baby, I miss you already, are you going to work? I love you too XxXx

Me: I've lost my job baby, I want to come back to you.. please. I'll love you forever XxXx

Liam: Aww I'm sorry beautiful, you can come back if you bring me some ganja and my treasure XxXx

Me: Shall I drive up or you want to send the car back? I'm getting ready now let me know XxXx

Liam: I'll send the car back. Give me a minute XxXx

Me: Okay, how much ganja you need? Do you need anything from your house? XxXx

Liam: They're on their way back to you, grab two ounces and I'll pay you back baby, and you mean our home.. but, no I'm fine beautiful XxXx

Me: Our home sorry.. okay, I'll text Pop now and ask her to get it sorted and pick it up on the way. I'll see you soon baby XxXx

Scrolling through my contacts, I find Poppy and text her.

Me: Are you home babe.. let me know

Putting my phone down, I quickly get dressed in my black velvet tracksuit and pull on my socks and black adidas trainers. Opening my money box, I pull out four hundred and tuck it into my crossbody bag ready for Poppy. Brushing my hair, I pull it up into a ponytail and pack my weekend bag full of everything that I might need while I'm there.
Looking at my phone I see a text back.

Poppy: I'm home come round babe

Great. I want a joint as well. Looking around my room, I have everything I need and run back down the stairs. Quickly flying out the front door before my mum says anything, I stop dead and clench my jaw instantly.
"Stacey" Victor says standing by his car in front of me. Fuck!
"What Victor, I'm in a rush" I tell him and he nods.
"Yeah I gathered, I heard Liam's escaped, and you're no where to be seen.. so you must be with him" he says and I pull a face, unimpressed.
"Actually I'm not and I only just found out he escaped, what's it got to do with you" I say bluntly and he looks me over.
"Dont lie Stacey, I know you've lost your job as well. You're on the run with him, he's turned you into a fucking dirty criminal" he spits angrily and I step forward wanting to punch him.
"What I do has nothing to do with you Victor, you need to leave me the fuck alone" I warn him and walk off, climbing into the back of the car again.
"Sorry about that" I tell the driver and give him the address to Poppy's.

***

Climbing out the car, I knock on Poppy's door and she opens it inviting me in.
"Hey babe, two ounces please" I tell her following her through and seeing product stacked around. Fucking hell, Pops..
"Two ounces, you having a party?" She asks, chuckking as she sorts it for me.
"Just kicking back" I tell her when she finished up.
"Well, you have fun babe" she says and hands me a bag and I smile at her.
"Will do babe, thank you" I tell her handing over the money before turning to leave.
Jogging back out, I climb into the car and relax back.
"I need a shop please" I tell him and he nods his head.
Turning the corner, I see police all aroumd and my heart starts to race. Fuck, I can't be bothered with them. Now more than ever. I need to get back to Liam.
"Another one please" I tell him and he nods again this time with a smile clearly seeing the police himself.

***

After running around I finally make it back to Liam and climb out the car.
"Hey baby, I'm back" I call out, walking through the mansion and I find him in the kitchen making food.
"Baby, you're doing to much, if you're hungry I could of bought you something" I tell him and he shakes his head at me.
"I'm fine baby, I'm making us dinner" he says and I smile at him walking closer and seeing what he's making. Macaroni cheese
"Smells great, I brought you your ganja, high head" I tease holding up the bag and he takes it from me then hands me the spoon to finish the food. Thanks baby.
