Escape to Cali

Chapter 7

The plane took off at exactly two A.M. I needed to tell Khan about everything. I sighed then looked at Khan. I knew it was going to take a while to explain everything so I started with what the girls were helping me with.

"Khan?" I said quietly.

"Yeah, what's up?" He said looking at me.

"The girls and I are going to look into getting me a therapist when we get back." I said

"Okay. Why are you telling me this? Wait, why do you need a therapist?" He asked concerned putting his full attention on me.

"Ever since I was raped my life went downhill. I got pregnant of course. I couldn't give up the baby. I didn't want Darrius to go to jail because I wanted him to be in his son's life. That didn't work out. After I had Little D, his real name being Darrius, I couldn't exercise the way I wanted to. I became anorectic and wouldn't eat anything. When I started eating again I went out with my friends. I left so I could put D to bed. I wasn't very far from my car when someone kidnapped me. The only had me for three days then turned himself in. He would always told me I couldn't have fun and then would beat me. He told me I was fat, ugly, and that I was just a waste of space. When I got back home I became anorectic again. My dad pushed me to eat. Even when I couldn't. One day I snapped and told him that I hated him and I never want to see him again so he left. A few days later he was filing for divorce and my mom signed the papers. My dad and I haven't talked since. You already know about the new Darrius drama so you don't need to hear about that. My therapist back home gave up on me and told me that when I was done with the sleeping pills she gave me to just stop taking them and I would be fine. I'm not sleeping very well these days, so we are going to find a therapist that will help me." I said with a small smile. He asked me some questions about everything that happened to me. We spent two hours talking about it. Then we spent another two hours talking about our friends and family. We stopped talking and I decided that was the perfect to change out of my plane clothes and into my dress.

"I'm going to go change." I told Khan with a smile.

"I thought that's what you were wearing." He said confused.

"No. These are the plane ride clothes. I always put on a dress when I go out for breakfast with the family." I told him then got up. I walked to the little bathrooms they had. I set out all my make-up stuff out. I did my hair back home. I quickly put on some foundation then mascara. I then put on my dress. My dress was black that came to about mid-thigh. I paired it with a pair of black boots that came up a few inches above my ankle. I walked out and sat down next to Khan.

"You look pretty. You don't look like a mom though." Khan said with a smile. I smiled at him. After a few minutes of us not talking he fell asleep and I put on my headphone to pass the time.

We landed and I woke up Khan. We got off the plane and grabbed out bag.  Khan grabbed my hand. I was looking for the familiar face. I couldn't see it. I looked at Khan and he squeezed my hand. I went to pull out my phone to call my mom when I saw him. I saw Little D and he was on my grandpa's shoulder. Right next to him was my mom and grandma. Along with Haley and my cousin ,Madi. I took off running towards them. Khan was right behind me. I tore D off my grandpa's shoulder and gave him a big hug. Then I went down the line giving them all hugs. Khan watched with a smile on his face the whole time. My grandpa noticed.

"Can I help you with something?" He asked Khan.

"No sir. I came down here with Chelsea. I like seeing her this happy." Khan said to my grandpa with a smile.

"Guys this is Khan. He is our neighbor. He volunteered to come with me so I wasn't alone." I said to them. I went over to Khan and he grabbed my hand. I couldn't help but smile even bigger.

"Mommy. Mommy. I missed you." Little D said jumping up and down. I pick him up and spun him around. I was only gone four days and I missed him this much.

"It's nice to meet you Khan. Chelsea, you look so happy." My grandma said matching my smile.

"Well it's been a few day since I left. I am just glad to see you guys." I said.

"Where is uncle Jag?" D asked me.

"He is a the house. We will see him later. Along with everyone else." I said and I switched him to my other hip.

"Chelsea. you look really pretty. I'm glad you came back. Lets go get some breakfast. How does Perkins sound everyone?" My mom, Theresa asked. Everyone agreed.

"Really Mom? Do you even have to ask me that?" I said as she put her arms around me.

"I wasn't really asking you. I was asking everyone else. I already know your answer. The only one I didn't hear and answer from was Khan. Khan, honey is it alright if we go and eat at Perkins?" Mom stopped and looked at him. We were almost to the car.

"Yeah, that's fine. I'm sorry for not answering earlier ma'am." Khan said. We started walking again.

"You don't have to call me ma'am. Call me Theresa. Don't bother to call anyone of us ma'am or sir." Mom said as we got to the car. I climbed in the back with D and Khan followed right behind.

"Sorry, I never introduced you to anyone. The one driving is my grandpa."

"Call me Dan. I don't like to be called sir." He said to Khan. He interrupted me.

"The one next to him is my grandma. You can call her Pat. The goth looking girl is Haley. She cause no harm. The other girl is my cousin Madi and you know everyone else." I said kissing D. I missed him so much. I am glad he will be living with me soon.

"It's nice to meet you all." Khan said. He looked at me and smiled. We pulled up to Perkins and got out of the car.  We were seated right away. Everyone ordered their drinks. We talked until it was time to order. We all ordered our food. We kept the conversation alive. I couldn't help but smile the whole time. The smile on my face was soon wiped away when I saw him coming towards us.

All my family saw my smile disappear and followed my gaze. Darrius was walking towards us. He has the cocky smirk on his face. I felt a pair of eyes on me. I looked and it happened to be Khan. I nodded at him. I could tell he was asking is it was Darrius. I couldn't believe it. He was really going to take my son away from me.
