*BUZZ BUZZ* I slam the door and take a deep breath, I look at my phone and see DJ calling me. “ADENNA WAIT” I look at see Leon running down the trail with the guy behind him. I start the car and press on the gas deciding going the long way is my only option. “Son of a bitch what did I just do,” I say hitting the steering wheel, I am finally on the road and my phone is blowing up, but I am too afraid to pull over, my hands are shaking and my eyes are welling up with tears, I continue pressing on the gas not letting up until I see other cars.
Once I am stopped by a red light I grab my phone and see eight missed calls from DJ, four from Trent, and 46 messages combined. My hands still shaking I call DJ and put it on speaker because the cars start moving again. “Adenna” DJ says mad “DJ. DJ, I'm sorry I…I’m so scared I can't go home, I'm so scared please I need help I don't know where to go” I began to cry, I rapidly wipe the tears so I can still see. “DJ please” I sob “Go to the mall next to the skate park go in the mall and wait for me in the second-floor family bathroom on the left side of the mall. If I get there before you I will wait there do you understand,” he says firmly
“Y..Y…Yes, I understand” I sniffle. “Okay we're on the way” he hangs up. I continue going not letting up unless I have to. I am trying to calm myself down but I can't seem to do that, all I can think of is that it really was my fault. I am the one responsible for Dante's death, my father killed the only guy I've ever loved, he killed the father of my child, and to make it worse my mother was behind my father's killing and she never tried to stop him. She is a disgusting excuse for a mother and he is a disgusting excuse for a father they truly are disgusting human beings.
I finally make it to the mall and go where DJ told me trying to keep my head down so no one sees me visibly crying. I look around and see DJ leaning on the wall next to the bathroom, I run up to him and he is rightfully mad. “Get in now,” he says through gritted teeth, I do as he says “Change into these,” he says handing me a bag of clothes. I look at them and they're guy clothes I don't argue and close the door quickly putting them on, he also gives me a hat and some sunglasses, and I put them on as well. I open the door and all he does is nod “Come on just follow me no talking” he says and starts walking, I follow closely behind him.
We make it outside and I am right beside him, “Your father just arrived keep your head down, look…shifty” he whispers, I continue following him, until we make it to his car, “Get in and keep the hat and glasses on” he says and I do as he says once we leave the parking lot I think that he'll start talking to me but he doesn't, we drive in awkward silence. “Trent is waiting for us at a safe house, you're going to stay there until further notice,” he says bluntly leaving no room for discussion. “DJ. I'm really sorry” I sniffle “Yeah I understand that already,” he says shaking his head.
“Can you please talk to me” I whisper “I have nothing to say,” he says gripping the steering wheel. “I know you're mad so of course, you have something to say. Please” I plead, “I don't want to talk about it Adenna so drop it” he growls. “Please DJ I'm sorry, you have every right to yell at me please I'm sorry” I sob.
“ENOUGH” he yells “Of course, I'm mad at you. You promised me that you wouldn't do anything reckless like that again and you go and do something more reckless, you put yourself and the baby in danger for what. What was the reason for him to know that you're onto him, for him to know that you're pregnant? Why Adenna why can't you just listen don't you understand that I can't lose another person? I can't go through the grief of burring another empty grave. I can't lose someone who knows so much about me I can't lose you or anyone else I refuse to let anything happen on my watch. I will not let this happen again I am done. You just had to listen Adenna, that's all you had to do, but now I am going to clean up your mess. I just don't understand why.” his loud voice booms through the car.
I am looking down at my feet crying, “He….He was the one that killed Dante. He said that he had to be taught a lesson. He was going to come after you next, m…my mom told him about me being pregnant….s…she's been telling him who to kill….she was the mastermind behind everything, it's my fault that Dante died and both of my parents are psychopaths” I sniffle. “I…I recorded him telling me everything” I say placing my phone down, “W…What” DJ asks “You asked why. This is why” I say. “Damn it Adenna” he stops the car “What you did was extremely dangerous do you understand that. You could have been killed……but you did do a good job, if you want we can go to the police together.” He huffs and I look up at him. “Really?” I sniffle.
“Yes I promise I won't leave your side” he pats my head. “But you know that if we do this then you will have a big target on your back could you handle that” he asks and I take a deep breath in and out “If it means that people are safe then I will do it. I can do this” I say “Okay then let's get going” he says turning the car around
