Vote, comment feedback, enjoy✌

I didn't feel like driving so i gave Chris the keys. I didn't want to be bothered so i put my ear phones in. We drove and drove and drove. All of a sudden my phone started to ring.

It was my mom.

Of course i didn't answer.

She called me for the next few minutes and i didn't answer. I didn't feel like dealing with her sht.

*ding*

Mom- It's Namiko.

I rushed to call her back.

"Why weren't you answering?" Is what I'm hit with.

Ignoring her completely "What's wrong with Nami?"

"Nothing, i just need you to come home from school early and watch her." Is she fucking serious?

"No. Why can't you just watch her?" Now that I think about it, it would be the perfect excuse to get away from Chris and collect my thoughts.

"Cause I have to work. She's at the house right now."

"Then just stay there till I get there, i guess." I said pinching the bridge of my nose.

"I'm not at home, I'm on the freeway."

"Fuck you mean you on the freeway? You left a seven year old at a house by herself?"

"She's with Eric, calm down."

"Ma! That's worse!" I said hanging up on her. I turned to Chris who looked at me expectantly.

"Go to wing stop so you can get your car. I have to go home."

"Ight we'll be there in like 10" he said. He placed his hand on my thigh trying to comfort me. I didn't mind it either. I left it there. We drive for a couple minutes when i get a text.

*ding*

Nom Nom Nami- help me

Wtf?

Me- what's going on?

Nom Nom Nami- he keeps trying to touch me... It feels weird. Please come get me.

Me- Nami I'm like right around the corner.

"Chris turn here" i said pointing down my street.

"Babe that's not-"

"I know! Goddammit Chris just go!"

"Why the fuck are you yelling?" He said turning down the street

"Nothing i just need to get to the house." I shut down. I was beyond pissed. I'm a generally rational person, but right about now... I'm having some very violent thoughts.

"Baby i didn't mean to upset you..." I sighed

"Chris it has nothing to do with you, just get me home." I gave him the rest of the directions to my house, him complementing the neighborhood as we did so. I didn't really pay him any mind.

I was trying to control myself. But i was so beyond angry. Like my hands started to shake, my breathing picked up. I placed my head I'm my hands trying to calm down. I felt Chris rub circles on my back.

"Jhene, you need to calm down."

"I know." I said as a single tear rolled down. It wasn't a sad tear. This tear left a burning trail in its path. It made me yearn for his end even more. I was going to fucking kill him if anything happened to her.

"Pull in here" i said pointing to my driveway. When he died the car, I got out and motioned for Chris to do the same.

We get to the did and i start to unlock it.

"Chris, i want to apologize for what you're about to see... Things are going to get out of hand." I turned around to see him not paying attention to a word i was saying. "Chris, did your hear what i said?!"

"Sshhh!" He says covering my mouth with his hand. I looked at him like he had lost his damn mind. He seen my facial expression and rolled his eyes. "Listen..." He whispered. I did what he said and attempted to listen.

That's when I heard it...

The screaming.
