Chapter 12

I take a huge gulp as I punch the numbers in to call whoever this Adrian person is. This is the same name that popped up on Tevin's phone before. Once I dial in the number I stare at the screen for a moment. I had to give my inner self a pep talk before pressing call. This was the moment of truth. The phone rung for a long time but I couldn't bring myself to hang up.

The voicemail picked up after a while and I was disappointed. I contemplated on whether I should leave a voicemail. I decided to follow my first mind and leave a voicemail hoping that this could help or this person could help my situation.

"Hi you've reached Adrian Isley. Sorry I can't take your call at the time. I may be busy with my baby or getting some money. Any who, leave that voicemail for me, and I'll hit you right back." The tone beeps, and I am shaking nervously.

"Hi my name is Mario Ruiz. I'm calling because I found your number lodged in between my sofa from this new dude I am with. I um- I don't know who you are or what you mean to him but you may be the only one who can help me understand who he is. I just- I need for you to call me back and give me some insight on this dude. He started off sweet, but now he has become a monster.

I'm literally a prisoner in my own home. I'm scared to leave because I don't know who he has watching the house. I've been beaten, raped, and I'm scared to call the the police. Please give me a call back at your convenience. I need to know who I'm dealing with, or if there is anybody else who can relate." I hang up, and I can honestly say I feel a bit better. I can hopefully get to know this man better, and still plot my escape.

I get up from the bed, and put my hidden phone back into it's place. I walk downstairs, and decided to just take a nap. I got myself situated on the sofa with my blanket. I fell asleep, and I just wanted to forget about everything. It has been awhile since I slept peacefully.

********

I was awoken by the smell of spices filling the air. The television was on, and the kitchen light was on. I got up slowly, stretched, and walked around the corner into the kitchen. Tevin was standing in there cooking, and he had on some night clothes. I guess I had been sleep for a while. I glanced over at the clock and it was 11PM. I actually was surprised that Tevin let me sleep for as long as he did. He must be in good spirits.

"Oh shit! Hey baby..." He says coming over and kissing me.

I smile slightly, and yawn. "What's this?" I ask pointing at the food being prepped.

"I figured I could cook for you since we've been so rocky with each other lately." He says and turns his head back to the food.

I roll my eyes at him then go over to the fridge to grab a bottled water. "That's nice I guess." I say as I open up my water and walk out of the kitchen.

"Mario... Wait!" He says grabbing my arm gently and I tense up. He releases my arm, and I turn around. "I want to apologize for how I've been acting lately. I'm on some new meds and they even me out. I was stressed and I hope you'll consider that." He says and I sigh.

"I invited one of my very good friends over here to meet you, and I hope you'll enjoy his company." He said shocking me because I didn't think he would want anyone around me that wasn't him. Especially, at this time of night.

"He should've been here at 10:30 but he says he got caught up with something." He says.

"Who is he?" I ask curiously.

"You'll meet him." He says smiling and walking off.

"Bipolar bitch." I mumble and walk back into the living room and sit down.
