Madi's P.O.V.

Monday Night - Week 1

"Fuck. Shit. Fuck. Shit. Shit. Shit."

I mumble pacing in the apartment.

"O-okay so you meant to tell me, 'T-the Jake' is back?"

I stutter.

He nods his head slowly.

"This is not good. This is not good!"

I yell.

"I can't do this!"

I yell melting into the bed sheets.

Jc runs to my side, rubbing my back in attempt to comfort me.

I sob into the sheets quietly.

Jc pulls me into his lap.

"Baby.."

He says trying to get my attention.

"Baby."

He says sternly.

I look up at him.

"It's gonna be okay."

He says with a not-so-assuring smile.

I shake my head.

"H-he can't be here, h-he's supposed to be in jail.. Right?"

I choke out.

"Did you even get anything in the mail about a court date?"

He asks quietly.

I snap my head up from my fingers.

"W-what?"

I ask.

"A court date."

He says more clearly.

I start to panic.

"I never changed my address.."

I say quietly.

"Come on!"

I yell getting up and throwing on decent clothes.

"What- where are we gonna go?"

He asks.

"To my old house."

I say quickly.

Jc groans.

"Going there won't help-"

I cut him off.

"Come on! Let's go!"

I yell.

He grabs his keys, us both running out the door and to his car.

We jump in, him starting the engine and speeding off.

-----

I look up at the house, regretting ever coming back.

I get out and open the mailbox.

Full to the top.

Most of all of them are to me.

I sort them out and only grab the ones with my name printed on the front and throw the rest back in.

Soon we are back in the car, flipping through all the mail and finally come to one that has a huge red stamp that reads 'COURT DATE'.
