Life after love.

Part 8

I'm scared.

Liz

My sister came over to spend the weekend with me, she said I'm living like a queen in this big house, with no one to answer to. I told her I hated being in this big house alone, it's not the same without the Lattimore family here, Manny made sure I got paid, and the house was taken care of, he and Dyland come over for dinner once a week, but it's not the same. Plus, I miss the twins and Mr. Pierre too and I kind of miss that dog Bandit.

She asked me about Mr. James has anyone heard anything about him, I told her no and it's odd he loves his family, I don't understand why he just left the way he did. Sister said with the gays who knows, maybe he found another guy, I said not Mr. James.

Sister looked across the room and said she could use a drink, I told her there's iced tea in the fridge, she said she needs something stronger than tea, she's sure the Lattimore's have the good stuff around here. I told her not to get drunk, she said she'll only have one glass of wine. That one glass turned into four.

Later we watched T.V. sister fell asleep, I heard a noise outback, I woke my sister up, she said is it morning already, I told her no someone is outside, she said, and I made her leave her gun at home, we both heard another noise. Sister held my arm, she said call the police, I could see a light shining, sister screamed, and the light went out, I pushed her off of me and ran to the phone and called the police, they said they'll send a car right away. Sister said she's scared, I told her so am I, within five minutes someone knocked on the door, sister said it could be whoever was outside, I called her a dumb ass, and said why would they knock on the door, I answered the door and it's the police, I told them what we heard.

They said they'll check around, and maybe I should close the front gate after they leave and make sure the alarm is on, they walked around, sister asked me did I set the alarm earlier, I told her I forgot. She said now who's the dumb ass thanks to me she could've been killed, I told her to shut up.

One of the officers came back and said so far, they haven't found anything, but they'll keep looking and when they leave, they'll drive around the area just in case, meanwhile keep the doors locked and remember what he told me about the gate and the alarm.

Sister asked the officer is it against the law if she shots someone out there, he told her let them handle things for her safety, he walked back out, sister said she should've brought her pistol, I said she would've shot her foot off or me. And knowing her there's no telling where she got that gun from, she said I'm right about that, she got the gun from Pookie the crackhead.

They came back and told us they searched the property as much as they could they didn't find anything, if we have any more problems call them, sister said some help they are someone could be out there with rape on their minds, she's a very sexy woman. I just looked her up and down and said trust me they won't bother her, I told the officers I'll close the gate and make sure the alarm is on, they left.

I made sure the gates were closed, and I set the alarm, I told sister let's just get some sleep, she said after what just happened, she won't be able to sleep, we went to my room and got in bed, five minutes later sister was asleep, and snoring, I thought she said she wouldn't be able to sleep, I put the pillow over my head.

(The back house in the woods)

I didn't mean to scare Liz, I drove here after seeing Pierre with that guy at my beach house with my kids as if they were a family, I came back to claim what's mine. I wasn't ready to tell Manny or Dyland I'm back home, so I'm staying in this house in the woods, that Pierre and I fixed up just for us.

The twins have grown so much, and I've missed them every day, I only got my memory back a few weeks ago, when I saw Pierre with that dude and he kissed him, it hurt my heart, how could he let some other man near our kids, and to sleep with him under my roof with my kids in the next room. But I'm going to do all I can to get my family back.
