Shattered

Things are turning around

*Eveny pov

I woked up the next morning feeling a little nausea. These pregnancy symptoms were killing me and it seemed like they were more stronger then ever. I looked over at Patrick who was knocked out. I removed his hands from around my waist and got out the bed. I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I took some pregnancy pills for nausea and headed down the hallway to check upon Erykah because last night was sort of out of control. "Erykah sweetie, are you in there?" I asked as I knocked on the door. "Baby I know your still upset but I want to talk to you" I said before knocking again. After 15 seconds of silence I decided to just open the door and see if she's in there.

Her bed was completely stripped and she was gone. Something didn't feel right in this room. I felt a cold breeze and it just feels lifeless in here. I walked over to the folded up sheets laying on her floor. I couldn't understand why they were all folded but maybe she wanted to wash them and forgot about it. I picked them up and carried it to the laundry room. Once I started the washer I begin unfolding it but dropped it immediately at the blood stains I saw all over it. "Oh my god...." I said. I grabbed some gloves and slid them on then started unfolding the blankets even more. More blood revealed its self." Mom he did touch me! over and over again." "He forced me to have sex with him" "he raped me" the sound of those words repeated in my head as I stared at the blankets.

"Honey?" I turned to see Patrick standing in the door way. "The police department want you to come down there. It seems like that's where Erykah is. They know who killed her boyfriend. They wouldn't tell me who but I figured you and I could just go down there and find out" he said. I couldn't look at him the same no more. One side of me wanted to beat his fucking ass for touching Erykah but the other side told me to wait. I gave him a small fake smile."okay honey, but umm.... How about I'll go down there and see while you just stay here and watch Eden." I said.

"Why we just come along?" He asked. My heart was beating so fast because I had no idea what Patrick may do if I tell him about raping Erykah.

"Its okay Patrick, you just stay here and watch Eden" I walked into the room and stripped into some casual clothes. Patrick stared at me as he saw me nervously putting my hair up. "I'll call you when I find out anything" I said barley kissing him. I headed downstairs and out of the house, into the car. Once I reached the police station Erykah was already in the room. She rolled her eyes at Me as I walked in and took a seat right next to her."Mrs. jones how you this morning?" the detective asked. "umm...Im fine, what's going on here?" i asked back. "Well Erykah tells me that your boyfriend is the person who killed Gregory? Do you know anything about that?" he asked. I looked at Erykah who kept on rolling her eyes.

"I don't actually" i shrugged. "How long have you and patrick been together?" he asked me. "a couple of months I believe" i replied back."Did your daughter ever give you any signs that he wasn't right or he makes her feel a little uncomfortable?" he asked. "She has warned me many times about how strange he is but in my eyes he was this perfect guy. Detective, i actually believe now that Patrick is the killer of Gregory's death" Erykah head quickly turned to me as shock spreaded across her face. "go on... Mrs. jones" he said. I took a deep breath and cleared my throat. "My daughter has been getting raped by him almost everyday and i just found that out this morning when came across bloody sheets in her room. Last night she had warned me about how he has been touching her inappropriately and i was so...scared of being alone again that if..if i believe my daughter over him that he would leave me and i would be by myself again, but i just feel so...so terrible because all this time she has been telling me and giving me signs about him and im just such a selfish mother because i didn't want to believe her for the sake of my own happiness. Erykah sweetheart im...im so sorry that i didn't believe you i just couldnt accept the concept of being lonley again and that's not fair because i have you and your little brother to be with. I Know you hate me and i know you probably wish i would die or something but please forgive me baby...please?" Tears continued glide down my face as i explained myself to the detective and Erykah. "We actually have footage of him raping her if you turn your attention to the monitor" the dectective played a video. what i saw mortifed my soul. It crushed my heart repeatedly. i cried hard out loud. How could i be such a bitch of mother to let my own daughter get raped and not know about it.

"Mrs. jones please understand that were going to have to press charges and have him arrested" the detective said. I slowly nodded. "This is what were going to do. Were going to come to your home, arrest him, get the charges going and throw him in jail for life. Make sure he never gets out. Then i want to enter you and your daughter for family therapy so that you two can regain the lost connection that needs to be there for you two. Is this fine?" he asked

"I would love that" i said wiping my face.

"I promise you this is going to be all over with soon. It ends today" he said.

I sure hope it does, because right about now i am the worst Mother in the world.

So theres been a change of plans with the book. I did a little layout on how im going to end the book and it turns out the way the ending is, it's not going to make it to 7 chapters most likely these last three chapters i am producing today are going to end it. Now i tried to find multiple ways to extend the chapters but it's too complicated so im just going to make this a short story book because i really have no choice.

so, please vote, comment, fan/follow me
