Save Me

[7]

The past two weeks have flown by. School has been great and I have been getting straight A's. Curtis has said that he has seen a change in my since I got back from seeing Leah. I have been doing anything and everything he has asked in order to get out of here sooner. I'm ready to go home and back to my life.

Today is Friday. Lynn's discharge day. I'm not really excited about it at all. I'm happy for Lynn, don't get me wrong but I don't want her to go. I'm watching Lynn pack her bag from my bed.

We haven't spoken but there is nothing to say. Lynn's leaving and she's not coming back. When she was done she sat down next to me. In her hand is a piece of paper.

"If you need to reach me here is everything. Address, e-mail, cell and house phone number." She said.

I nodded and read everything on paper. After I was done I just kept my head down. Lynn took the paper from me and placed it on my bed before pulling me up.

"I want you to meet some people." She said. I nodded and let her drag me out of our room for the last time.

Lynn led me over to the admissions desk. Standing there are 4 people. Two older men, a guy that looks a little bit older then Lynn and a little boy. The little boy's eyes lit up and he ran over to her.

"Mommy!" He yelled and jumped into Lynn's waiting arms. Mommy? Lynn has a son?

"Hi baby. I missed you so much. Can you go to daddy for a minute?" Lynn asked.

The little boy nodded and Lynn handed him over to his dad. Lynn smiled at them and kissed the guy on his check. The boy is only around 3 years old. He looks like a solid mix of Lynn and his dad. His hair is a bit on the longer side, and the color of it is just like Lynn's dark raven color while his eyes are bright green. Lynn's baby daddy is gorgeous too. He has a little scruffy hair on his face and tattoos covering his arms and hands. His hair is styled in an undercut and his eyes are bright green.

Lynn went over to the two older men and hugged them both. When she was done she pulled away and turned towards me.

"Erica these are my dads Jackson and Jayden, my boyfriend Marcus and our son Jayce." Lynn said.

"It's nice to meet all of you." I said looking at everybody.

"I'll meet you guys outside in a minute." Lynn said.

Her family left us now, it is just us. Not once did Lynn talk about her personal life with me. I would have loved to know about her son and boyfriend.

"I know it's a little much but I wanted you to meet them so you know who I'm going home too." Lynn said.

"Why didn't you tell me about them before?" I asked kind of feeling hurt.

"I don't know, I kind of just wanted to focus on myself." Lynn said. I nodded understanding. I really wanted nothing to do with home right now either.

"Your son is really cute." I said breaking the tension between us.

"He's my little man." Lynn said with a smile.

"Do you want to talk about your big man?" I asked and raised an eyebrow. Lynn just laughed and pushed my shoulder.

"Marcus may look all tough but he is just a big teddy bear." Lynn said.

I spent the next few minutes with Lynn and her family as Lynn checked herself out. Jayce somehow found his way into my arms and I held onto him. His eyes stared into mine almost like he is looking right into my soul.
