I.S.O.L.A.T.E.D

I.S.O.L.A.T.E.D ~ Falls short From TLC (Tender ,Love & Care)

     I ate some of the pizza but she kept , running back and forth up and down the stairs. I looked at the baby and he was in the crib  in his room, he had a blanket under his milk bottle. I kept checking out the room , making sure nothing was werid looking. Then  I noticed that the wallpaper was torn a little, I stared at it and began to peel it off , Antonio was driffting off to sleep. I looked around and began ripping it more and more as I saw hand writeing on the wall , I gasped and my heart pounded as I tore half of it off. My phone rang loudly and I turned around and grabbed my chest and looked at the phone. It said "Raquel" I sighed in relief and answered the phone. " Hello?" , I say , " Yeah chica! , it's me Raquel" she says with her loud rowdy voice , I missed her voice it brung  light into my heart. " Hey girl , what you been up to" i say with a smile " nothing much , chica just worried about you , and Jacob told me you were feeling some type of way about Ms.James?" she said , " Yeah I am , something is off about her , she keeps watching me and the baby , she has a peep hole threw our door" I say sitting in the chair. " Well just chill chica , me and Romelo are here , and we will be here" she said , " Yeah no worries , im just saying I want my mom home , and fast , they need to call me and tell me how she got shot." I say with determination. " Well just keep finding clues on Ms.James , you said her and your mom were close right?" she asked. " Yeah I did , they have been friends since my dad died" I said. " Thats right , okay me and Romelo are gonna look her up and search her background , because she does look supicious" she says.

   I looked at the wall a tore and walked towards it, I began reaching for it as I heard the door nob turn and she opend the door. I dropped the phone and backed up into the wall ans atyed quite. " Hello?! , Hello?! Chica! , Avanna?!" I hear her screaming threw the phone. I see the shadow and she walked out and shut the door. I sighed out and picked up the phone and answered " im still here Raquel" I say sitting on the bed. " Yeah I think yall need to do a background check on her" I say laying down.

  " Don't worry chica , we got chu! , no worried" she says as she hangs up. I got scared and looked at Antonio as he was fast asleep. I took the bottle out of his mouth and put it on the table. I knew something was off about her , everything we needed was in this room , and the writing on the privious wall? , yeah this is strange.

That next morning I woke up and took a shower , I got dressed and started to get the baby ready. I noticed that Ms.James wasn't here , I forgot she is my manager at TrunkFit. I walked down stairs and looked around as Antonio was reaching for air in my arms. I lay him down on his elmo blanket and let him play with his toys. I looked around her house , it seemed old and non-moderen, I kept walking , I peeked out the blinds and the kids ran for their lives and kept screaming "Run ,. run!" I stopped and walked outside and said " Wait! , " I ran after them , " Hey , your not Ms.James" the little boy says, " No i'm not , im Avanna , whats your name" I say with a smile getting down on one knee , " I'm  Luke  , I play around here , I play  four-sqaure with the kids that lives around her house , but they told me she was a child kiddnapper , she kills parents just to get ahold of their kids" he says. I stopped and my heart sunk ,  no don't tell me , Ms.James couldnt have shot my mom. I was shaking and I stood up " Thank you luke , now if I need anything , here" I say giving him my number , " i'll call you" he says , " and i'll tell the police , shes  not getting away with this one , your to pretty to be dead" he says running off with his ball. I smiled and ran back into the house and everything was normal. I held Antonio and put him to sleep.

    This was scary , I was to scared to call anyone to report a witness report, but nothing really was stopping me. I put Antonio down and reached for my phone , as it rang Ms.James , I was shaking as I was reaching for my phone , I gupled and answered it. " Hello" I say  , " Yeah  hey Avanna , are you gonna make it to work?" she says , " Yeah , i am " I say with a stutter , " Whats wrong , you seem shakey in the voice , are you getting sick?" she askes , " No, no im fine , i'll be able to make it" I say , " Well okay than , goodbye" she says hanging up. I hung up and put my phone down and breathed out. This falls short from tender love and care.
