Affection at last

Chapter 19

I spent about 2 hours talking to the officer, I told him everything to the last detail. He told me that all they can do now is put a restraining order on him, but other than that they can't really do anything without any proof. What more proof do you need than my own two eyes? After I left the station I went for a walk, I passed by an old park and sat on the swing set. I used to come to this park when I was little, but some kid dropped off the slide and broke his neck and no one came back ever since. When you think about it's kinda funny, how do you break your neck coming down the slide? I swung back and forth and felt the cold air on my skin, the park was so quiet all you could hear was the wind blowing through the trees. The sun was going down and it was getting late, my mom would probably be would be wondering where I am and why I'm out when I'm supposed to be "sick".

I walk inside and prepare myself for the lecture I'm about to get.
"Laura?"
"yeah?"
My mom comes around the corner wearing an apron and oven mitts.
"Where have you been?"
"I just went for a walk"
"This late?"
I turn away from my mom and start walking towards the stairs, trying to avoid the conversation.
"Laura, we need to talk"
My mom walked back into the kitchen, I toke a deep breath in and followed behind her.
"What is it?"
I asked annoyed.
"I know you didn't just go for a walk"
"What are you talking about?"
You could hear the fear in my voice.
"I was worried about you, so I tracked your phone"
"YOU DID WHAT?"
"Why were you at the police station?"
"Why were you tracking my phone in the middle of the day?"
"Well obviously you weren't home"
I ran upstairs and locked myself in my room, leaving my mom standing in the kitchen. I stood in my room pasting back and forth, there was only one person I wanted to see.

I crawled out my bedroom window and started walking, a few minutes later I was standing in front of Chris's house. I nervously rang the doorbell and waited.
"Laura, it's good to see you"
Mrs. Watson opened the door and gave me a big huge, I had almost forgotten what a huge felt like.
"Is Chris home?"
"Yeah come in, he's in his room"
I walked about each step slowly, until I got to his room and knocked on the door
"Come in"
I walked in and he's working at his desk, and there's so sign of Adam.
"Hey"
As soon as he hears my voice he stops what he's doing and turns around.
"Oh hey, what are you doing here?"
I walk towards him and sit on his bed.
"Am I not allowed to go to my own boyfriend's house anymore?"
"Well, you've just been acting..."
"yeah , I know"
Chris gets up from his desk and limps to his bed and sits beside me.
"Is there something you want to talk about?"
He asked me
"No, I just wanted to see you"
Chris smiles and lays me down and puts his arm around me, I almost wanted to cry. I missed him so much. I laid there wrapped in Chris's arms, and thought to myself what might happen if Adam knew. But honestly I could care less, for a minute I was happy. I looked at the clock on Chris's bedside table, it was almost 11 o'clock. I wanted to stay with Chris forever, but I know if I don't come home soon I'll be getting more than a lecture.
"I should probably go home, it's getting pretty late and my mom and I are already not on good terms"
"Why?"
I sat up to face Chris.
"It's a long story"
I say to make it not look like a big deal. Chris laughs and nods his head.
"Well I'll limp with you downstairs"
He said while laughing. As we walk down the stairs, I couldn't help noticed that I hadn't asked about his leg.
"How's your leg feeling?"
"It still hurts here and there but at least I can walk on it now"
I smiled and continued walking
"I'll see you later"
I said as I turned around to leave,Chris gave me a look I couldn't describe and smiled and closed the door.
When I got home, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. I walked passed my mom's room and all the lights were off. She probably didn't want to see my face after the scene I put on. But I wasn't going to let anything ruin my good mood, I walked into my bathroom took a shower and slid into my pj's and hopped in bed. I took out my phone and called Stephanie
"Hello?"
"Hey"
"Laura?? Where have you been?"
"I'll explain everything tomorrow, I just called to say goodnight"
"Oh.. okay. Goodnight "
"Goodnight "
I said back to her and hung up the phone, I laid there in silence for a while and thought that things might be getting better. And after awhile I feel asleep.

I was woken by a loud banging on my door, I looked at my clock and it was 6:00 am. Who the hell is banging at my door this early? I got up and walked down the hallway and opened my mom's door to see that she was already gone, she must have forgotten something. I walked downstairs and opened the door, there was a guy standing there. I didn't recognize him at all.
"Can I help you?"
"Are you Laura?"
"um , yes"
The guy that was standing at my door had just put a knife through my stomach, and I fell to the floor bleeding.
