The bad boy saved me

Chapter 55

LOLA POV!!!!

I called him. There was no answer which was surprising. I tried again. Still nothing.

Maybe he doesn't really want to talk. It's just not like him. Guess he moved on too. I'll call him tomorrow. I laid my phone back down and fell asleep.

I woke up to nothing but a message from Aaron. I tried calling Jace again. Still there was no answer. I was honestly worried. I hope he's ok. I can't just show up at his house though. I called him throughout the day. Aaron never texted me after that first time. He's a player, and I don't doubt that he's screwing around with some other girl. I really hope not but I guess it's whatever. I knew it would happen.

I won't jump to conclusions though, that'll just ruin the relationship. Dinner came around and my mom was still gone. She hasn't been home in almost three days. I hope she's ok as well.

"Do you know where mom is?" I asked.

Her husband, Jeff just shook his head. I sighed and made dinner.

"Make me something too," he said.

"I will," I nodded, "when my mom returns."

He stood up and walked over to me. I could smell the alcohol. I pushed by him and two cops barged in. They ran and handcuffed him.

"What is going on?" I asked.

"You haven't heard?" One asked.

"Heard what?" I asked.

"Your mother," he sighed, "she's dead. We found her. This is the guy who killed her."

I dropped my glass and fell to my knees. The man walked over and hugged me. I couldn't even hug him back. My mom was gone..

I know we didn't talk much and we always fought but shit. That's my mom. I don't even remember the last time we told eachother that we loved one another. After he left I went to my room.

Me- Aaron😭😭

Aaron- woah woah babe what's wrong??

Me- I just found out that my moms dead😭😭 a cop just came and arrested Jeff😭 he's the one who did it😭

Aaron- I would come over but I'm grounded! Baby girl I'm so sorry.

I didn't answer him. I tried to call Jace again and there was still no answer. I'm probably not going to school tomorrow.

FIVE DAYS LATER....

Aaron has barely texted me. I haven't gone to school at all. I've given up. I'm all alone. Literally. I call my moms phone everyday and just pray that she'll answer. She never does, obviously. Jace hasn't answered either. I'm beginning to worry. I'm going over to his house later. I don't care.

I went through old pictures and just cried. I took over all the bills on the house. This is where I want to be the rest of my life. My moms house. My house.

"Mom I'm so sorry," I cried, "I wish I could see you one more time. I barely said it but I love you. I wish you were still here. Mom I miss you."

I just cried. This is killing me. It's so hard. I haven't answered anyone. Chelsea doesn't know, no one really knows. Aaron knows, but he doesn't seem to actually care. Then again he said that he's grounded. He probably got his phone taken away. He's still 17. He won't be 18 for another two ish months.

"Ok," I wiped my face, "I'm ok. I'm ok."

I stood up and grabbed my keys. I tried to call Jace again. Still no answer. I tried once more and another time but there was nothing.

"God," I said, "please let him be ok."

It's been six days. I called him for the first time in 6 months, 6 days ago. I arrived at his house and noticed his front door was cracked. I walked in.

"Jace?" I asked.

I looked around down stairs and there was no one.

"Jace?" I asked once more, "please answer me."

I walked into his room. Oh my god.
