Your Safe Now

Jacob's Pov-

Roman had just left and my mom was about to be here. I was extremely nervous. Someone knocked on the door so I opened it. My mother stood there.

" Hi." She said softly. I smiled and let her in. She sat on the couch and I sat across from her.

" How are you?" She asked calmly.

" I'm okay." I said quietly.

" I'm so sorry." She said quietly.

" Okay." I said plainly.

" Listen I need to talk to you about something. Where I'm getting divorced I was wondering if you'd be willing to go to court with me and testify about how terrible your father was." She said quietly.

" Is that why you wanted to met so urgently?" I asked.

" Yes but I also want to learn about what my daughter has been up to. Sorry I mean son." She said quietly. I just stared at her.

" So you plan on calling me my preferred name?" I asked. She gave a nod.

" It's Jacob." I said quietly. She smiled and nodded.

" So will you help with court?" She asked.

" I don't know yet." I said.

" Okay but also I'm filing for custody for you back." She said like it was nothing.

" Absolutely not. Just because I agreed to seeing you again doesn't mean I want you back in my life permanently. If you file for custody I will not hesitate to tell them everything you did." I stated. She sighed and shook her head.

" You don't understand." She said quietly.

" Then explain." I said harshly.

" I love you. You are my beautiful daughter. I feel like if you were to come back with me you'd realize that you are actually a girl." I scoffed.

" Don't expect me to help you in court now. If you try to get custody of me I'll tell the courts everything you have ever done. Get the fuck out." I said. She nodded and left. George and Dream had been in the kitchen making sure nothing bad happened. I sat down for a moment and placed my head on my hands. I sat there for a moment. I finally got up and into the kitchen. I walked up to George and hugged him tightly.

" Hi my sweet boy. You okay?" He asked rubbing my back. I gave a slight nod.

" I love you guys. Thank you for everything." I said quietly.

" Always honey." Dream said. I moved and hugged Dream tightly. He rubbed my back gently. Someone knocked on the door so I opened it. My mom stood there again. I went to close it but she stopped me.

" I have some of your old things from the house. I thought you would want them." She said quietly. I nodded. Dream walked over.

" I'll help you get the things. George wants to talk to you." He told me. I nodded and walked into the kitchen.

" I didn't need you. We just didn't want you to have to be around her." George said softly.

" Is Lillie still outback?" I asked. He nodded. I looked out the back door which were just all glass so you can see the back yard. We had a play house and swing. She was running around with Luna. I walked outside to play with her. She ran up to me.

" Who's that guy?" She asked quietly while pointing at my moms car. I looked to see my dad. I scoffed.

" No one important." I said.

" He has been staring at me the whole time. He came over he to talk to me. He wanted to give me a gift as long as I played with him." She said. I felt my blood boil.
