It Just Happened

49. This Isn't Happening!

                                                                        Lucas

After everything that has been going on, can't we just catch a fucking break. Jaxon was giving me those fuck me eyes. Even after what just happened in the locker room. Maybe we can finally both be over our insecurities in this relationship. I don't want this kind of shit to tear us apart. But everything changed as soon as I answered my phone.

My body frozen with that blood curdling scream. I have never heard anything like that before. It sounded like pure terror, but I'm not sure if I can believe it, or if it's an act. The part of me that wished I had a loving relationship with my mom was scared shitless.

"M-mom"

I hear some shuffling in the background, and then hear a whimper. I look at Jaxon and he is on his phone, hand moving around like a crazed person. I'm not paying attention to what he is saying because I'm focusing on my mother's ragged breathing. "If this is some sick joke. I want no part of it." My hands start shaking as I listen intensively. "L-lucas!" She screams into the phone. "I'm so sorry baby. Please don't give this monster anything." I hear a thud as she cries out again.

"That wasn't what you were supposed to say you stupid bitch! Why you trying to fuck up my plan?"

"What the fuck do you want Craig?"

"You know what I want boy. If I don't get what I want, you'll lose someone else from your family. Maybe I will take care of that boyfriend of yours. I still owe him for punching me. How would you feel if I put a bullet in his head?' I almost drop my phone and look at Jaxon. I will not let that asshole get near my Jaxon if it's the last thing I do. "This could be all a scam. You might have Sheila playing a part, trying to convince me she cares."

Craig laughs and I always hated that laugh. It was the same one he used right after he would beat the crap out of me.

"Take a look at your phone son."

"I'm not your fucking son!" I yell into the phone.

"Oh, so you know the truth now, do you? You know how your mother is a fucking whore, who cheated on me! Take a look and see if I'm fucking bluffing."

I look at my phone and when I see the picture, I feel myself shake even harder. There my mom is chained to a bed with blood dripping down her face. She has a black eye and a gash across her cheek.

"Okay fine! I'll give you what you want."

"I'll text you the location be there in an hour alone. Also, your boy better sign over his portion too."

"Fine! One hour if you hurt her anymore the deal is off."

"Of course, see you soon boy."

I end the call, frustrated beyond belief. Is this shit really happening? "Jaxon, I need to get you..." When I turn around, he's not there. "Jaxon!" I yell, panic filling my entire body. Where can he be? He was just right fucking here. I take off running looking around, but I don't see him.

"Lucas!" I turn around and see Nate jogging towards me. I'm not thinking rationally, because apparently Jaxon is fucking missing. I storm up to him and shove him hard.

"Where is he?!" I yell in his face and shove him again. "Where... The... Fuck... Is... He!!!"

"Lucas what the hell are you talking about?"

"Jaxon!"

"He's the one that called me. Said something about your mother."

"Why the fuck would he call you? You know what never mind I got to find him." Just then my phone dings and it's the location to where I'm supposed to meet Craig. "Fuck!" I clutch my chest because I don't know what to do. My mom is in danger. Even though we don't have a relationship, I know Craig isn't bullshitting me. Then there is Jaxon, he's my life, he has been there for me through everything. I can't fucking lose him.

"Lucas." I snap my head up and glare at Nate...my father. "What can I do to help?" You could have been there my whole life. Then none of this shit would be happening! I shake my head because that's not fair to him. He has been a pawn in Craig's fucking twisted game a lot longer.

"If you can help me, be in two places at the same fucking time, then there is nothing to do. That bastard has Sheila and I need to find Jaxon."

"Let me take care of Craig."

I stand to my full height and show him the picture of my mother. "Are you in on this?" He stares at the picture, and I see his lip slightly quiver. "Never. I know you don't trust me, but I could never. Let me deal with him." His hands starts shaking, he clenches and unclenches his hands into fists.

"Fine here is the address." I text him the address. I'm glad I put his number in my phone. "Please don't fuck me over."

"I won't and call Detective Jenkins, let him know what is going on." I nod my head and sprint to my car. "Be careful son." Nate calls out to me. I look at him one last time. "You, too." I jump in my car and take off. Before calling Jenkins, I call Jaxon. "Pick up the fucking phone Jaxon!" I feel the tears, but I blink them back.

"This is Jax, sorry I missed your call."

"Fuck!" I pound my hands on the steering wheel. "Where the fuck are you?" I call Jenkins and tell him what's going on and give him the address. Hopefully nothing happens to my mom. Then I remember we put GPS tracking on our phones because of all this shit. I pull over to the side of the road and curse because if I was thinking straight none of this would have happened. My phone goes off, just as I'm looking at the tracker and see that it's Nate.

"Lucas, he's not here."

"He should be, I have been driving around for almost a fucking hour."

"I don't like this, Lucas. Something is not right." I look at my phone and see where it shows Jax's location. "That can't be right."

"What's going on Lucas?"

"I know where Jax is."

Someone's pounding on my window. Next thing I know I'm being dragged out of my truck. "Surprise, surprise boy. You really think I was going to trust you to fucking listen." I hear Nate yelling in the background and feel something blunt hit my head.

Fuck this isn't happening right now.
