Chapter 46

Song for this chapter: I like me better - Lauv

—————————————————————————

For a moment I could have sworn my heart stopped. Panic shot through my body. From my hairline to my toes and into my fingertips. I turned my head every second in every possible direction. At the same time, I tried to escape the place. But how? Where was the damn house key??

As I frantically searched every inch of my pants and looked around frantically, I took a few steps backwards. Damned. There was a stone that I had never seen before. I stumbled and fell over. I wanted to scream but no sound escaped my mouth. Trembling, I continued to look for my keys and only then realized how painfully I must have fallen on my wrist. It hurt like hell and I couldn't move it anymore.

Logically, I landed on the floor with the natural reflex of catching myself. On the other hand there were bloody spots from small stones and splinters pressed into my palm. "Fuck," I whispered and a tear rolled down my cheek.

Then I just froze. There was a shadow. I tried to breathe calmly and just stayed in my exact position as I was. I slowly reached to the ground where my phone lay, its screen broken from hitting the stones, and I tried to pick it up. But it fell from my hand, she was shaking so much from fear and pain. I tried again. And again. I succeeded on the fourth try.

The face ID recognized me and I immediately pressed the phone app logo. I looked for Jadon and let the bell ring. Nobody answered. "Fuck! Answer me!" I cried out in frustration. I decided to call him again and just before the answering machine, he answered.

"Britt? Are you okay?" he asked happily but with a worried undertone. "Jadon... please help me," I simply cried. In his background I heard a lot of people talking and laughing. They probably celebrated at the hotel. I heard the voices getting quieter and he probably went to a quieter environment. "Baby? What's going on?!" he asked now full of concern. Without an undertone.

"Someone is here. On our property. I don't know who but I keep hearing these noises and I panicked, I just wanted to take out the trash. I don't know, but no, I-", I rattled off until he interrupted me. "Slowly baby!" We have time, I'm here. I'm listening to you," he tried to calm me down. "I wanted to unlock the door but I was shaking so much that the key fell and then I fell-", I was interrupted by him again.

"Is everything okay?? Are you all right? How is the baby?!" he asked in a panic. "Everything's fine, but I think I sprained my wrist or something," I tried to calm us both down. Jadon breathed in and out deeply. "Okay listen, go into the house, call the police and I'll come home immediately, okay?" he now planned. "Okay. Thank you Jadon," I said much more calmly and noticed how my pulse also calmed down a bit at the sound his voice.

I finally got the door open and stormed into the house. I immediately locked the front door behind me and left the key in the door in case someone tried to break in. Then I rushed to every window and closed them. I closed the curtains and locked the locks. Everything that was possible. Why did this man make me so afraid? Well probably because he beat me almost to death and killed my unborn baby...

Trembling, I sat down on the sofa and turned on the television. The replay of Jadon's game was playing and I tried to distract myself from it. At some point my eyes became heavier and my body could no longer fight against my tiredness. I fell asleep. And the TV kept going.

I woke up and my whole body ached. Before I understood where I was I had to rub my eyes. But it didn't work because an arm was in my way. When I looked a second time, my heart jumped up and down. I lay in male arms. In Jadon's arms. He lay next to me in bed and hugged me protectively that I could hardly move. He looked cute. But also done and done. And then suddenly my feelings of guilt arose. I was acting like a psycho and was paranoid as hell. I was acting completely stupid.
