I didn't want to go back downstairs, so I just slept on the couch but Rob, he was watching over me. He made sure I was safe for the rest of the night. Why? Why does he care so much? I mean I guess I'm fine with it. I just don't understand how a cop who has never seen us before takes us in and makes us feel like home.
When I woke up Alex was playing with the little girl. Maybe she was just really tired last night. I got off the couch and walked over to them. They were playing with cars.
"Can I have a car?"
Alex handed me a toy car and we started playing together. After a little while Rob came in and seen me playing with them.
"We'll look at that, you two have already made up"
He smiled and turned on the tv and started watching a show on Netflix. I stopped playing and went and sat on the couch and looked at my phone. I had so many messages, one was from mom. I didn't want to look at it though, I don't really even want to talk to her. What if she makes Rob look like a bad guy. I mean I have to look at it, it's my mom.
Mom: hello Dakota, I understand you must be so confused. Trust me I didn't want this for you! I miss you so much, I tried to talk to Jackson but he hasn't answered any of my texts or my calls. I don't know where you are living right now or what happened to you. But I am so sorry Jackson got into hand cuffs. You guys never should have ever had to deal with this and, they say I might not make it and it took me a long time just to type this on my phone, I understand if you are angry at me. I have a confession to make if you ever come see me at the hospital. I don't want to type it on the phone. It would hurt me more if I typed it on the phone. Please come see me, with Jackson not Alex, I don't want him to see me in this state.
I want to text her something but I didn't know what to send. Every thought of what she wanted to confess was running through my head. I guess I had some sort of weird look on my face and rob asked me what that face was for.
I told him about mom texting me and that she wants me to see her. He asked I wanted to see her and I said ya, because I do. But I don't know what she has to say. What's so important that she has to say in person.
"Can I see watch she texted, I understand if you don't want me to see"
I gave him my phone and he understood why I had that face from that text. Because he had that face too. But worse like he wanted to tell me something didn't.
"What's the face for"
"Huh- oh nothing"
I didn't say anything after that he gave me my phone back and that was that. We did talk about the show that he was watching because it was stupid and I wanted to know why it was stupid.
He said it was supposed to be a funny show, even though I don't think it's funny at all. But he laughed at it so I guess that's all that matters.
My friend Rosie started blowing up my phone. I kinda already knew what to expect when I opened the text because I didn't respond to her text for like 2 days and well we talk all the time, almost every night and if I wasn't doing chores then I am most likely on FaceTime with her.
Rosie: HEY LIL IDIOT ANSWER MY GOD DANG TEXTS
Rosie: Hey, what's happening, I seen your mom on the news. I understand if your not on your phone. Must be hard right now, just know I love you❤️❤️
What should I say? Should I even text back? What if she's not online right now.
Me: Hey ya I'm ok. You don't have to worry about me. Alex and Jackson are fine as well!
