Dying to Live {Bajanlox}

Chapter 16 Mom

Mitch

"Ready?" Jordan asks me. "Yeah, how about you?" I ask, turning to look at Ty. "Yeah, let's get going, it'll be nice to be home again." He says, smiling. "Ok, well let's go then." I say, following them both out to the car.

"Mitch, get up!" I hear someone yell whilst giggling. "Huh?" I ask sleepily rubbing my eyes. "We're here." Jordan says, continuing to giggle like an idiot. "Oh." I reply, getting up slowly, due to the blood rushing to my head from laying in the backseat of Ty's car.

"Mitch,  I have a phone call for you!" Ty yells at me, walking out of our makeshift house. "Coming!" I yell, rushing over to Ty, taking the phone from him with a smile.

"Mitchell, is it you?" I hear a familiar voice ask me. I nod, then, realizing she can't see me, I say, my voice shakier than I expected,"Yes." I hear her happily say something to other people in the room. "Oh, honey, where have you been?" She asks me, sounding relieved to know I wasn't dead. "I've been with some very kind people." I answer. When I'd met Ty in the woods I completely forgot my family. No wonder my mom seemed so scared when I answered the phone. "Jerome told me he'd found you, but you'd left before he could invite me over." She tells me. "Did, he give you this number?" I ask her, even though I knew what the answer was. "Of course. Mitchell why did you leave Jerome's? She asks concerned again. "Mom, I've made a new family here, with Ty and Jordan." I explain, trying not to make her more sad than she already seemed to be. "Oh, well...Even though you left us, and we haven't had contact for almost month, I'm glad you found some people to love." She says, the tears in her eyes slightly obvious over the phone.  "Well they sound like lovely people." She says sweetly. "They are mom, I hope you can meet them someday." I say, looking up to see Ty and Jordan weren't outside with me anymore.  "I have to go mom, I love you. I hope we can get together sometime soon." I says quickly, but not too fast so she could not understand me. "Ok honey, love you too. I'll talk to you soon." She says, hanging up.

I sigh as I do the same, grabbing my bag from the car and walking into our home. "Who was it?" Ty asks as soon as he hears the front door close. "My mom." I tell him simply, because it really is that simple. "Oh, did she want you to come home?" He asks, obviously trying not to let me see the sorrow filling his eyes. "No, she was just worrying like a normal mom would." I laugh. I watch as his eyes clear, a smile filling up his face. "Ok," He says. I walk over to him, placing a kiss on his forehead before saying I was going to take a shower and walking up the stairs.

"Lachlan needs our help again?!" I hear Jordan practically yelling downstairs. I finish putting my pants on and rush downstairs to see what the problem was. "But we help him every other month!" She yells annoyed. "Yeah, but it's Lachlan, you know how he is with ghosts. He tends to find them every other month." Ty shoots back at Jordan, stating it like it's a fact. "Yeah, that's true." Jordan says, seeing Ty's side of the argument. "Fine, how far out is he?" She asks giving in.  "Two hours." He replies. "Alright, I'll go. You and Mitch can stay here." She tells him. "But-" Ty says, going to argue with her. "No, you deserve a break, I'm going, you two are staying." Jordan says stubbornly. "Fine." He says, not wanting to get into a big fight with her. "Good, I'm going to pack." She tells him, practically skipping to the stairs, giving me her infamous smile as she jumps up the carpeted steps past me. 

I walk the rest of the way down the stairs, asking Ty when I get to the bottom, "Who's Lachlan?" "He's an old friend of ours." Ty explains, after a few seconds of shock from me speaking out. "Oh." I say in understanding. "Yeah, he's always had problems with supernatural creatures. It still confuses me as to why he became a hunter." Ty says honestly, laughing at the end. "what time is it?" I ask, changing the subject. "Uhhh. It is......Four thirty." Ty says, looking at me like a child when they do something amazing. "Thanks," I say, giving him a quick kiss on the forehead. He pouts jokingly, so I lock our lips in a small peck. He smiles saying,"Want some dinner?" I nod, and we head to our kitchen.

"So, you're on fifth street?" I ask Lachlan to make sure I'd heard him correctly. "Yeah, hurry up please. Vik is panicking." He says, talking about the guy that was living in the haunted apartment. "Ok Lachy, I'll be there soon." I say, hanging up. I follow a straight road for a couple minutes, until I find the apartment complex on fifth street, just like he had said. Parking the Impala, I get out, grabbing anything made out of iron, our salt, and a shotgun with rock salt bullets. After stuffing them in Ty's old sports bag, I walk to the front door, seeing a speaker, with the apartment room numbers. I pushed number forty, waiting for an answer. 

"Hello?" I hear Lachlan's quavering voice say through the speaker. "I'm hear, mind letting me in?" I ask in a joking manner. "Y-Yeah, come in." He says. I watch the door open in front of me, as if by magic. Walking through the halls of an apartment building on your own is confusing, especially if ypu have no idea which floor the room you're looking for is on. At one point I had to knock on someone's door, it was just plain awkward. But I finally made it to Vik's apartment. I jiggle the door handle to see if it's unlocked, but it doesn't budge. Knocking, I yell through the wood,"Lahclan, it's Jordan!" The door opens and Lachlan's horrified face appears in front of me. I can see the horror in his eyes as he grabs my wrist and pulls me into the apartment. 

"Ok, Vik this is Jordan, Jordan Vik." Lachlan says quickly, motioning to an Indian looking guy inside  a salt circle. "Hi," I saw, sending him a quick wave. "So where was the last area you saw the ghost...er, sensed." I correct. "That way," Lachlan points towards the kitchen. "Ok," I grab the salt and hand Lachlan a gun loaded with rock salt bullets, handing one to Vik as well. "Stay here, if anything comes at you, shoot." I order Vik. He nods his head frantically, seeming scared. I motion for Lachlan to follow me, and we walk into the kitchen.

I'm gonna leave you guys with a cliffhanger. Ha! Love you all. Sorry that took so long, school's been getting a little bit more stressful, and lots of other stuff has too. Well, love you doods. Peace! ~S
