My Savior

7.

"No. You're not taking my only daughter anywhere," My birth-mother says

"Only? What do you mean? Where's Natti?" I questioned frantically while she cackled like the evil she is.

"Oh, you didn't hear?" She says with fake pity in her voice "The Peterson's adopted her,"

I sigh in relief.

The Peterson's were lovely people but they couldn't have children and whenever Natti would go over to be babysat, they took care of her and looked at her as their own.

I'm glad they have her. My mom couldn't take care of her and I know that if it was just us, I couldn't either.

At least now she'll be getting the life she deserves with them.

"Damn woman, I thought you actually did something bad. Letting the Peterson's adopt her was probably the best thing that could've ever happened to her,"

"Why you little..." She steps forward and then Jackson steps between us, putting me behind him.

He crosses his arms and puffs his chest out a little, making him look bigger.

"Baby!" She yells faking helplessness "There's an intruder in my daughter's room!"

Jackson looks a little worried but grabs my hand and looks down at me.

"No matter what, I'll keep you safe," he tells me while giving me a kiss on my forehead. We hear heavy footsteps coming up the stairs until there's a man standing beside my mom.

"Uncle Daniel?" I see the surprise from Jackson when I speak. Uncle Daniel was from my dad's side of the family, related by marriage and twice removed.

"What are you two doing together?"

"Oh sweetie," she says sickly "don't you see we're in love. Oh wait, that's not something you'd understand,"

"That's another thing you're wrong about," I tell her

"Oh yeah?" She pierces her lips at me

"Yeah, I'm in love with Jackson and I'm leaving with him," I say while wrapping my arm around his waist.

"Oh shut," I hear Uncle Daniel whisper

"Fine!" She yells "Go but, when he leaves you for a better looking gurl, and trust me there's plenty, don't come crying to me. You've been nothing but an ungrateful little bitch!"

"Wella at least she wasn't abusive," Jackson defends me

"You hurt 'Gus?" My uncle questions with real worry in his voice. My uncle always had a soft spot for me since my dad left. He understood that pain of losing the one you looked up to the most.

"No, they're liars," my mom tries to defend herself.

I open up my jacket "Really? Then who the hell did I get these from?" I questioned

She scoffs "Obviously your 'boyfriend'," she uses air quotes "Baby he's toxic. Don't you see how aggressive he is?" She feigns care

This bitch! I can't believe it, even though I should. She's trying ti blame this in Jackson, the only thing he did was the cut in my temple which was an accident.

"Why the hell would you blame him? Huh? Why do you want to try and get me to stay so badly?" I yell at her "You never, ever, once told me you loved me. You never cared about me. All you cared about was spending your stupid boyfriend's money!"

I was crying but I only realized when I felt the tears go down my neck.

"You're right! Go ahead, you ungrateful little brat!" She yells at me

"Thanks for the permission that I wasn't gonna use," I say grabbing one of my bags while Jackson grabs the other. I start to walk down the street when Jackson stops me.

"Baby, I got my car," he says and I follow after him. We come up to a silver Honda and we put my bags in the back.

Getting in the car, we drive for a bit before I ask to turn in the radio. I just bob my head to the song.

We pull up to what I assume was Jackson's house. By now the rain had stopped.

We get out and walk inside.

"Mom! I'm home and I have someone I want you to meet," he yells out.

A middle aged ladies head pops out from around a corner, she looks like him or he looks like her, more like.

"Oh hi! I'm Marrie, Jackson's mother," I extend my hand out but she just uses it to pull me in for a hug.

"Hi, I'm August," I introduce myself

"Oh, you're even more beautiful in person. Sonnie (so-knee) has told me all about you. To saw you occupy this young man's mind all the time is an understatement," she whispers the last part to me.

I look at him and his face is red, I giggle at his embarrassment.

"So what's the occasion that I get to finally meet your beautiful girl?" She questions before adding "Did you get her pregnant?" She says the last bit seriously

"No!" We yell in unison

"No, um things are a little rough at home," I tell her, not really wanting to go into detail about it.

"Oh okay." She says understandingly "Well if you want to talk about it, I'm here for you,"

"Thank you, Marrie" I say

"Hey mom, um, would you mind if she stayed here for a while? With us?" He looks nervous.

"Yes I'd love for that," she says before turning serious "Just don't do anything that you'll regret,"

We nod our heads quickly then her sweet smile returns

"Good, now dinner will be ready soon. I think in about an hour," she tells us

"Thank you, ma'am,"

"Please call me Marrie or mom in-law," she jokes, sort of

"Okay," i say blushing

She goes into what I assume is the kitchen and Jackson pulls me upstairs.

His walls are covered with posters. He goes to my bag and pulls out my MGK poster and puts it over his poster of a swim model.

"Why'd you cover her up?"

"Because I don't need her when I've got you," he smile with his arms around me.

"Did you mean what you said at your house?" He questions

"What?"

"When you said you were in love with me," his stares at me, waiting and reading my facial expressions.

I blush and look down "yeah, I did,"

He lifts my face up to his and he's smiling. Then he leans in and kisses me. He turned his head slightly so we could deepen the kiss. Then he pulls back and pecks my lips.

"I love you too," he says hugging me.

Then we get to work unpacking my things.

We didn't get too far because most of his draws were already full.

"I'll get you a dresser, babygirl," he says while kissing my forehead then I walk over and flop down on his bed.

How did I get so lucky with him?

His mom raised him right.

He ones over and lays with me. He then wraps his arms around me and we just lay there.

A/N: okay so the story is about over.The next chap is the last.
