Gone Too Far (Police Officer/Delinquent Relationship) BOOK 1 (COMPLETED)

Chapter 10

PLS PUT YOUR PLAYLIST HERE

I watch the month anniversary news coverage because it's the only way I can check up on my mom. I sometimes close my eyes and listen to her voice---imagining it just as if she was in front of me.

I miss her terribly and I worry about her daily.

I watch the news coverage also see if Sterling is still in the picture. I was hoping that as time would pass, he would grow tired of her and move on.---I wasn't expecting him to stick around this long and marry her.

I don't think angry would be the right word to describe how I was feeling. I was livid.

My mother made the greatest mistake of her life. She married the man who would NEVER love her the way she wanted to be loved.

How Sterling would still be with my mother after 3 months baffled me too.

How can my mother not see that since I've been gone her 'love' seems uninterested? How he doesn't pay much attention to her and is solely focused on finding my whereabouts. How he continues to call the Wake Forest police demanding that something be done to bring me home. How he seems emotionally unstable at times in the interviews he's done? The man claims that his heart grew black the moment I left and only his love would bring me back.

She is blinded by this false love----who doesn't deserve her!

I grabbed the remote from the coffee table and shut the T.V off.

I don't know what gene my mother is missing but she's lost.

She has to be on drugs or something because the lady I've watched the past 3 months on TV is not the mom I remember.

He has to be medicating her.

Nick came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He nestled his head against my shoulder. "Good, now that you got that out of your system, how about we bring someone out to play. He's been feeling neglected, Maisie." He kissed my neck, nipping at me playful.

"Did you not just hear what my mother said?" I pried his arms off my waist "I don't have time to play games. I---I need your keys."

"You never leave the house this early," he narrowed his eyes at me. "Wait till the sun goes down at least."

"I know it won't be dark out for another 6 hours but I can't sit here and do nothing. There's something really wrong with my mom, Nick."

"You're going to draw attention to yourself showing up on the anniversary. Don't be stupid."

There would be risks to return to Wake Forest, today of all days, but I'm not going there to confront my mom or Sterling.
