Make You Mine

six.

Nylah was stuck in a trance for the past 2 minutes, still hearing her father trying to get her attention. How did he get her number and why was he calling her? All the therapy that she went through was now out the window as her leg started shaking and the tears started welling up in her eyes. Ja noticed her change in emotion and walked over to her.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Who is that? Who is with you? You got yourself a man?" He fathers husky voice said into the phone. She felt like she couldn't breathe, everything on her was beginning to feel too tight. Her hands started to sweat and her head started to pound.

"H-How did you get my number?" She asked.

"I looked you up as soon as I got out. It's not that hard pretty girl, your famous"

"Stop calling me that!" She yelled.

"Whoa whoa who are you raising your tone with? I am your father" She could tell he had a smile on his face as he said that. It made her skin crawl and the hairs on her back stand up.

"You are not my father, don't call this number again" She said and hung up. Ja walked over to her but she got up and went into the bathroom. She started pacing around thinking of what else he could know about her. What if he knew where she lived? Where her patients lived? Her mother? Just as she was about to call her mother, her mothers face popped up on the screen. As soon as she answered the phone she could hear the sniffles from her mother. 

"Mommy"

"Did he call you too?" Her voice was barely a whisper.

"Yes mommy, are you okay?" She asked with tears in her eyes. Her hands shook as she heard her mother crying.

"John isn't here, he's on his way back I just told him what happened. I don't know if he knows where we live but we're going to another location. I don't want to chance it"

"Ja is here with me, I'm going to go to his for a few. I can't chance it either" She said.

"Tasha! Tasha baby are you okay?" Nylah sighed in relief as she heard John's voice.

"Yes baby, I'm just making sure Nylah is okay. He called her too"

"We need to get that restraining order in the morning" John said. Tasha could tell he was furious. This all brought memories back to him too.

"Does Ja know?"

"No, I'm too scared to tell him" Nylah said looking at the door.

"He needs to know just in case-"

"Don't say that nothing is going to happen" Nylah said.

"Just to be on the safe side Nylah, I have to go but call me if anything happens or if you need me"

"Okay, I love you"

"I love you too guppie" They hung up after saying their goodbyes and Nylah sighed. She didn't want to tell him what was going on, she didn't even want to think about it right now. But like thinking of what her mom said, she opened up the door to a concerned looking point guard.

"Sit down we need to talk" she said. They both made their way to the bed and sat down. Ja put her legs on top of his.

"Talk to me" he said rubbing her legs.

"When I was 8 my mom and dad got divorced because he became violent with her, and very touchy with me. I didn't understand what was going on at first because I was just a kid. My mom obviously got custody of me, and he wasn't allowed by us at all. We moved away from North Carolina and moved to New Jersey and that's where she met John, who I call my father. He's been taking care of me since then and that's why I call him my father, I even changed my last name to his. When I was going into my sophomore year into high school, my bio dad found where we live and began to send us threats"
