Escape to Cali

Chapter 13

"Mommy, are you okay?" D asked me from the ground where he was sitting from when I dropped him."Yeah, I'm just fine. Daddy is here. I don't know if he is just here to see you or if he is living here now. Do you want to talk to him?" I said. I bent down to give him my phone. I walked over to Jagger and he gave me a hug. Khan was standing right next him not moving. Jaggar released me and I walked out of the room. I heard shuffling feet behind me."Chelsea, wait." I turned around to see Khan."I'm sorry, Khan. I don't know if I mean what I said him." I stumbled backwards and I was moving away from him."No, Chelsea, don't you see that is the point. I love you. I fell in love with you from the very moment I laid my eyes on you. " He came closer to me. I took another step back and fell. Khan caught my hand. He didn't let me fall. He pulled my closer to his chest. I melted into him.  We stayed like that for awhile. We were interrupted by Jaggar and D coming in. D was crying. I let go of Khan and ran over to him. "Hey, little man, What's wrong?" I asked and picked him up at the same time. "Daddy says he is going to take you out if the picture. I don't understand, Mommy. He scared me when he said it." D buried his head into my chest. "It's going to be alright. You can't talk to him anymore." I gave him to Jaggar and when up stairs. "Chelsea, wait. You need to talk to me. Don't freeze me out." Khan shouted after me."I'm not freezing you out. I just need time to think. Why don't we go out later tonight. " After I said that I slammed my door and sank to the ground. I was there for the rest of the day. For once in my life I didn't run from my problems. I didn't go run. I didn't listen to music. I didn't dance. No, what I did was sit there and think about everything that has happened. I heard a light knock on my door. "GO AWAY." I shouted. I know they would be about to figure out I was right next to the door, but I didn't care. "Chelsea let me in. We need to talk." I knew that voice. Kyle. It's not someone I live with. It was an ex-boyfriend. I stood up and opened the door."What do you want?" I asked and walked over to my bed. "Why are you holding back from Khan? I know you like him and he likes you just as much." He came over to my bed and sat down. "Is this what you came here for? TO ASK ME ABOUT MY LOVE LIFE? NEWSFLASH, YOU LEFT ME." I was beyond mad. Jordan and Jaggar came up. Jaggar slapped him. Jordan pushed him out my door and slammed it in his face. I was shaking I was so mad. I didn't know what to do.  I ran down stairs and right into Khan. "Hey, are you okay? You are shaking. Are you cold? Do you want me sweatshirt?" He was pulling it off. I took that time to run. I ran right out the and and down the sidewalk. I was going somewhere to hide when I ran into someone. They grabbed my arm really rough. I looked up to see who it was and my breath hitched. It was Darrius. I didn't have my phone and I know it is useless to fight him. I could hear my name being screamed in the background. It wasn't until I heard a loud crack that I was released. I looked and and saw Haley holding a bat with a smile on her face as she looked at the work she had done."Thanks." I mumbled as I got up. "No problem. That's what I'm here for. I have been waiting four years to do that to him." She wrapped her arms around my shoulder and led me back home."You didn't kill him did you?" I asked eyeing her. "NO, Are you crazy. I wish I could do that to him. I just knocked him out." She threw down the bat in the front yard and we walked inside. Khan was yelling at Eva about me. Jaggar is pacing. Katara has Little D in her arms. Jordan, Kayla, Isabella, and Madi are on the couch talking. I went right over to Khan and pulled him away from Eva and kissed him. He wrapped me up in a big hug and held me there."Are we still going out tonight?" He asked loud enough for everyone to hear."No, I just want to go to bed and forget this day every happened." I grabbed my child, who was now sleeping, and pulled Khan upstairs with me. I put D in the extra bed I had in my room for him and went over to my bed and laid down. It was only nine; but I was too tired to care. Khan laid down right besides me and pulled me to his chest. I fell asleep after five minutes.
