WANTED

Just let it go{Chapter three}

The events of last night seemed so surreal.
I knew Bob could get so violence...but to attack me?
He has never attacked me before.
After he left last night, mom slept in my room.
She kept on turning and tossing all night.
I got out of bed quietly so I wouldn't wake her up.
I went into the bathroom and locked the door behind me.

I looked at the mirror and a girl with deep hand marks on her neck stared back at me.
I touched my neck and cringed at the pain.
My voice was even hoarse.
I closed my eyes and felt the tears fall down.
I laughed bitterly and wiped away the tears.
How was crying gonna help me or my mom?
I took a quick shower and got dressed.
I poured myself cereal and sat in the kitchen.
I didn't want to seat in the lounge.
The room where I almost died.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" my mom asked as she limped downstairs.

"And leave you all alone?" I asked," No way."

"I'll be fine," she said as she heaved herself on the chair opposite me.

The pain was written all over her face.
Both physically and emotionally.
She had a deep scar on her lip and bruises all over her face.
I only imagined how many scars she had underneath her robe.
Too many to count.
Too many.

"I'm so sorry I let him hurt you," she quietly said looking at her hands," I should have protected you. But I was so scared. So scared. I was weak and I let him hurt you."

I got up from my chair and went to her side," Don't blame yourself. You didn't choke me...he did and he hurt you. He repeatedly punched and kicked you. You told him to stop, but he wouldn't. You have to have him arrested."

As soon as I said that word arrested she got up the chair and busied herself.

"Mom," I sighed, " You have to."

"Don't be ridiculous!"she suddenly snapped rearranging the plated that didn't read rearranging," You know I can't have him arrested. You know it you know it you know it."

"Mom stop it," I cried making her face me," Stop it, okay?"
She wrapped me up in a hug she held on as if she didn't want to let go.

It was in the afternoon and Bob wasn't still back.
Good.
He had better stay away!
Mom was sleeping and I was busy with the dishes, my phone rang, I dried my hand before I could answer it," Hello?"

"Why does your voice sound hoarse?"Tyson demanded.

"Tyson? Why are you calling me?" I asked, happy that he wasn't dead.

"I'm outside," he said.
I hung up and ran outside and found Tyson leaning against his car.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I approached him, then I stopped.

How could I forget?
Stupid stupid stupid!!!
I was wearing a shirt that exposed my neck bruise, I knew Tyson would want to know what happened.
Flip!
I was about to go back inside when Tyson stopped me.
He looked furious.
I guess he saw the bruises.

"Oh heck no!"he growled and headed for the house.

"Tyson stop," I said standing in his way,"My mom is sleeping and he's not here, so don't get so worked up."

"Don't get so worked up?"he spat," That man hurt you and you're telling me not to get so worked up! He touched you!"

"It's no big deal," I said taking his hands in mine," Just let it go."

He pulled me in for a long hug and I closed my eyes, glad that he was there for me.

"Let's get out of here. The boys will look after your mom," he whispered into my hair.

"I can't. My mom needs me, I just can't leave her," I said looking at him," I can't leave her side. What if he comes back and I'm not here...I can't risk that."

"The guys will guard the house...your mom will be fine," he said,"You know they will protect her."

"And I also know they'll kill Bob if he tries anything," I said," And you know it. My voice is sore, my head is aching...I don't have time to argue with you. "

"Who said anything about arguing? I am just worried about you and your mom...damn! I still can't believe he touched and hurt you, no, he has to pay,"Tyson growled.

"Leave him alone, okay? If anything happens to him my mom will be devastated, it sounds crazy...but she loves him. Even when he hurts her, she still forgives him."

"Maybe he hypnotised her to love him." Tyson said," Either way he still has to pay!"
I sighed and take his hands into my own," Tyson you are not going to touch Bob in any way. If you kill him, you'll go to jail and then it'll all be over for you. I need you to listen to me, okay?"

"I just hate seeing you like this," he said caressing my face, he gently lifted my chin so that I could look at him in the eyes.
He kissed me and I returned the kiss.

"Go back home," I said pulling away from him," I heard that you almost died yesterday...I can't worry about you and my mom at the same time. Please just make sure you get better, okay?"

"Did Speed tell you?"

"It doesn't matter who told me, what matters is you getting better...I...I can't loose you."

"C, you'll never loose me...remember I'm forever yours."

"And I'm forever yours," I said and walked him to his car,"Oh yeah, before I forget, are you gonna train me?"

"Sure. Just tell me when you're ready."

"Thank you," I said and watched him drive away before I could go back into the house.

I don't know about you guys, but I love Tyson and how deeply he cares for Courtney.
