Vic's POV
Damn Jaime is crazy. But I love him regardless of what he does. Maiah is cuddled up into my side and is looking so cute. I kissed her forehead before drifting asleep.
*ding dong*
I got up, carefully not waking Maiah and answered the door. It was Matt. God what does he want now, I thought.
“Um hi Vic I just wanted you to give Maiah a message?” I nodded and he went on. “well I called the police and our dad is going to jail and it turns out mom isn't dead, shes just in a coma. She should be waking up soon so I should go, but I wanted to warn her that she won't remember much, but as time goes on she should regain most of her memory. I'll call or text you guys when something happens. Just please tell Maiah that. Bye.”
“Thanks and bye. You aren't half bad. We're you just acting like that because your dad told you to?” he nodded and smiled a little.
“Trust me, I hated doing all that to her, and you, but if I didn't my dad would kill me, you, and Maiah.” I nodded and waved as he got in his car. He waved back and drove off. Not at all as bad as he used to be. I like him, I thought. I closed the door and woke up Maiah.
“Baby I have some news.” I said. She hopped on my lap and wrapped her arms and legs around me.
“ Matt came over a few minutes ago and said that your dad is going to jail and your mom is still alive, just in a coma. He said she should be waking up soon. He also said she will not remember a lot but as time goes on, she should regain most of it. He will call or text us when she wakes up, or something else happens.” her eyes filled with tears and a smile spread across her face.
“he's finally in jail and my mom isn't dead. Finally things are turning out okay.” she said. A tear rolled down her cheek and I wiped it off and kissed her lightly before hugging her.
I turned on the TV and changed it to the news.
“If anybody sees a man by the name of, Alex Crosby, report to the police immediately. He broke out of jail this morning. He was put in jail for almost killing his wife, so just to be safe, if you see him follow from a distance and call the police. This is what the man looks like (picture of him goes on screen) Just be safe and don't go close to him. He has been very aggressive. He broke out of jail by beating 10 police officers and running out of jail. We have very brief ideas of what this man can do so just to be safe, don't make contact with him. Now to James with sports.” The newscaster said. I looked at Maiah and she was looking at me. Both of our jaws were on the floor, and her face went from blank, to scared. I wrapped my arms around her and hummed a song to her. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. I was just about to fall asleep, until I heard a loud crash from the kitchen. Here we go again. Just please keep Maiah safe, I thought to myself.
