Mr. Officer ( A Short Jacob Latimore Story)

Chapter 24:Exhale

5 Days Later

Jackie opened the door for me and seemed like she was about to leave which was good because I wanted privacy with Tia. I was shocked when I saw her in the kitchen baking as usual. I was happy that she was up and active. I was so scared that she would start being overly depressed or even worse suicidal. I closed the door behind me walking up to the kitchen where she was. "Good afternoon glad to see your active" I said. "Umm hmm"'she mumbled taking measurements. Even that little mumble gave me hope to recovery. I waited a few minutes watching how focused she was. This was really her thing.

"Tia" I called.She didn't respond she continued to work on her cake. "I want to talk about this" I said growing frustrated. She placed her hand up swaying it to the side. "Umm umm" meaning no. She then walked over to the cabinet beginning to grab some things but I stopped her and roughly grabbed her by her hands "Tia stop shutting me out" I yelled raising my voice. She paused staring at me her body was so tense.I stared right back at her getting lost in her teary eyes. I let go of her and she wiped her eyes. "There's nothing to talk about " she said turning back around.

"Yes, there is" I said.

"I LOST MY BABY , JACOB THATS IT" She screamed hitting both of her hands on the counter

"All of this happened so fast , I feel out of place here I am dating a guy that had to save me from almost killing myself, accusing me of something I didn't even know about in the first place, then I get pregnant by him and not evening knowing that. This wasn't supposed to happen I wasn't so supposed to get pregnant by a man I barely even know not this fast. I feel stupid and maybe your right maybe I am not the brightest of them all that's why it would be better if you just leave me be" she said in defeat.

"No Tia, don't talk like that. That's why I've been trying to talk to you. I swear I didn't mean any of those things I said. I was just angry I take my job seriously and when I was suspended that messed with my pride so when I found out your ex was a drug dealer .I thought you were involved and just trying to get over on me because I helped you the first time but I was wrong I shouldn't have assumed. I shouldn't have insulted you"

"You really hurt my feelings though " she said still not looking at me. "I really liked you , I-I even love you then you said you didn't love me so how was I supposed to act? She asked

I know but this was a mistake and we all say things we don't mean sometimes I act first and think later and if I really thought all of those things I wouldn't have dated you in the first place."I said

She sighed "I forgive you Jacob, I-just need space this has me in a frenzy I cant even think straight" she said

"I-I always wanted a baby and I don't, I don't understand why GOD would take something away from me like that. If I would have knew I could have prevented it" she said her voice was cracking.

"I don't understand — she began crying finally. All these days I saw here she hasn't shed a tear. My heart felt heavy as well although I wouldn't cry I felt her pain. She turned around and I pulled her into a hug.

"It's okay I'm hurt about it too but it just wasn't our time. Even if you knew you were, it could have still happened"I explained. She then lightly pushed me off

"No just go! This is weird I don't understand this , what the fuck happened. I know we used protection ughhh I cant sleep. Im going crazy" she paced back and forth trying to find some ingredient for her cake.

"Where's the vanilla? She whispered to herself. I just watched her she looked like she hasn't had sleep in weeks, bags were under her eyes and her usually neat ponytail was really frizzy. I didn't care though but I know she's trying to forget about it like she just shut this whole discussion down.

"Tia" I said. She ignored me again "Tia you don't hear me talking to you? I asked.

"What Jacob? I asked you leave I have work to do" she shouted.

"Im not leaving" I said

"For goodness sake I have to work this is the only job I have now I need to make my orders" she screamed

"Wait you quit? I asked looking at her like she was crazy. "Yes, I quit my job I didn't like it the passion was gone" She said running her hands through her hair.

"Too much is going on" she said going back to work. She looked like a crazy woman. "Baby you need to get some sleep" I said. She still continued to mumble to herself. I walked over snatching the bowl out of her hands in dumped it in the drain. I could hear the shock in her voice. I know it wasn't the best thing but I needed to get her attention

"Why the hell would you do that ? Do you pay for anything around here? She screamed at me. "GET OUT" she yelled again. I grabbed her again by her arms "Listen to me Tia, the baby is gone okay. Its gone and its never coming back and its nothing you can do about it" I yelled back as harsh as it sounded it was the truth. Tear after tear were falling down her eyes slowly. "Your life right now is rocky but in due time it'll get better alright. I'm not leaving your side because I love you too now stop threatening me and get yourself together" I said. She nodded her head "Okay" she said hugging me tightly. I kissed her cheek letting go of her.

"Come on" I said walking her to her room. I opened the covers for her to get in. It was only 6pm but I know she needed rest and deep down she knew she needed it too.

"What am I gonna do about my shop? She asked.

"Put a notice up on the website" I said.

"Oh yeah" she said lowly getting in the bed. I sat on the edge of the bed watching her. "Get some sleep okay" I said.

"Okay" she said. I leaned in and pecked her forehead. "I'm gonna be in the living room if you need me" I said. She smirked which made me feel alot better about the situation. "Thanks"

"You're welcome"
