My New Home (Jacoby Shaddix)

Chapter 16

When we got back, Jacoby was sitting on the couch looking as pissed as ever.

"What's the matter?" I said shooing the kids upstairs and sitting beside him.

He sighed. "Kelly.."

"We have a tour coming up next week and-"

"Wait, a tour? Where you planning on telling me this anytime soon?" I snapped.

"Well yes but let me finish. Kelly doesn't want me to go because of Brixton. She said she needs me, but I can't say no to work." He said with another sigh at the end.

"So you were just gonna leave me?" I said ignoring his little story about Kelly and Brixton.

"No well I guess," he stuttered.

"Just like before." I said standing up.

"I didn't leave you." he snapped.

"Then what did you do? cause all I know is that you weren't around for 16 years of my life!" I yelled. I have no idea why I'm bringing this up.

"It wasn't my fault, she said you were a miscarriage!" he yelled.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought it up but I'm still mad! your just going to leave me?!" I yelled.

"I have no choice Sam! You know that food on your plate? This house you live in? The clothes you wear? Yah my Job pays for all that and without a job we don't have any of that." he screamed.

"You can't leave!!" I argued.

I now realized tears were spilling from my eyes.

"I have to.." he whispered looking down.

"I need you! without you here I have nobody!" I protested.

-Jacobys POV-

"I need you! without you here I have nobody!" she yelled letting her tears fall.

Please stop, Sam. Your breaking my heart.

She looked at me hard before she turned and ran out the door.

"Sam!" I yelled but she didn't even turn back.

-Sams POV-

I don't know where I'm going. I don't even know why I am running.

I just need to leave for a while..

I knew exactly where to go.

My best friend Kayleb's house.

There's something most people don't know about me, I'm a runner.

Piss me off enough? ill leave without even thinking twice about it, and I won't hesitate either.

I knocked three times before the door swung open.

"Sam?" he asked.

We hadn't seen each other in about 10 months, he moved to the other side of the city but now that I'm over here!

"Hi Kayleb." I whispered.

He pulled me into a big hug but quickly pulled back "Why are you crying ?" he asked.

"Well my mom made me go live with my dad-"

"Your dad? I thought you never knew your dad?"

I hesitated "I didn't, but skipping to the point I live with him now. But I found out he's going on tour and-"

"Wait did you say tour? Is he a rock star or something?"

"Yes!" I exclaimed getting annoyed he kept cutting me off.

"He's Jacoby Shaddix now let me finish! He going on your but, but he just can't leave me! He cant!" I said pulling him into another hug.

He led me into my house and there was and unwanted awkward period of silence.

"Wanna watch some tv?"

"Yeah you turn it on I need to use the washroom." I said getting up.

I did my business when a strangled call came from the living room.

"Sam! Come here!"

I came rushing into the living room and he pointed to the tv.

My eyes made there way to the tv and when they did my stomach flipped.

On the tv was a Mile Amber alert for a missing 16 year old, with my picture beside it.

"16 year old Samantha Shaddix went missing this afternoon at 12:30 and has still not been found. If you see this girl please call 911 immediately."

I quickly pulled out my cell and hesitated for a momen, but dialled Jacobys number.

"Sam?!" he yelled.

"YOU PUT OUT A MILE AMBER ALERT FOR ME?!" I screamed into the phone pacing back in forth.

"What did you expect Sam? I've already lost two of my kids and I won't loose another one!" he yelled back.

"Well I'm safe."

"Where are you?!"

"I'm safe." I said before hanging up.

I turned and looked at Kayleb.

He had that look in his eye telling me I wasn't doing the right thing.

"I know, I know." I shrugged.

I trugged my way over to the couch and plopped myself down beside him.

"You should go home." Kayleb said tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"What's the point? He's leaving next week anyway," I argued.

We sat in silence before Kayleb blurted out "Your beautiful."

My eyes popped and I slowly turned my head to his face.

"Thanks?" I said and it came out as more of a question.

"No seriously you are."

Without thinking I plopped down into Kaylebs chest and he put his arm around me.

"Kayleb what do I do?"

"Well I hate to say it but you need to go home. If you were running from your mom I wouldn't have to make you go, I would let you stay. But your worrying your dad, Sam."

I looked up at him.

I must have starred for at least a minute until I said something "I really want to st-"

I was cut off my something I never would have predicted, Kaylebs lips crashing into mine.

"Woah." I said when he pulled apart.

I smiled and this time I kissed him.

"Wait," he said pulling away.

"Does this mean were going out?" he asked.

I laughed "I guess so." I smiled.

"POLICE OPEN UP!" we heard from the front fdoor

"God dammit they traced the call.."

Kayleb whispered.

I sighed.

Kayleb opened the door and a few officers came scrambling in with Jacoby following behind.

I stepped back frightened by the police.

I don't know what it is, but I've always been afraid of police.

-Jacobys POV-

The police scrambled Into the house and I followed.

Sam hid her face and stepped back, she's obviously scared of police.

The boy who's house she was at obviously noticed she was scared and he pulled hero to a hug.

Sam Barried her face into his chest and hugged him back.

Boyfriend, I thought.

"Sam. Lets go."
