Dark night of the soul

Chapter 150

*Sarah's POV*
I begin to get ready for my appointment with Melissa by showering, blow drying my hair and picking out my clothes.
I make my way downstairs and I see Jess in the kitchen dancing to Cher. (my babe) she doesn't notice me so I creep up behind her. I sing loudly in her ear and she jumps, throwing a basket of grapes up in the air.
"Bloody hell Jess" I curl over laughing. "You're so over dramatic" I continue, hardly speaking because of how much I was laughing.
"You're going to give me a heart attack one day missy" she says holding her chest.
I embrace her into a hug, whilst still laughing and I kiss her head as an apology.

"Mamma" I hear behind me and it's my baby. I turn to face her.

"Oh my gosh, Jess!" My eyes widen.

"Wha- oh my god look at my baby go!" She squeals.

I watch Ava as she holds onto the draw handle, standing up, I'm so proud.

Just before I leave for my counselling session, the postman puts an envelope through our door. It's addressed to me.

I open it up and read it.

'Sarah,
I've been waiting a month to get some of my inmate rights back however I still can't use the phone. I miss talking to you, being able to hear your voice everyday, even when you didn't answer your phone your answer phone would always fill the hole inside of me that was left when you did.

I've only got one more month in here, that makes me so happy Sarah, it means that I'll be able to finally see you in the flesh rather than the pictures on my walls considering you haven't come to see me. Why?'

I knew exactly who it was without even looking at the name at the bottom of the page. Then the writing becomes scruffier, I could tell how angry she was whilst she was writing this letter.

'How could you just shut me out like that? Ignore me? You used me! Was it because of that bitch, the one you claim to love? She doesn't love you as much as I do, when are you going to realise that? I can treat you right! I would never put you anywhere you didn't want to be but she did, didn't she? She put you in this godawful place, how could you not despise her for that? When I get out of this place you will finally be mine, I don't care what I have to do.

Love from Auburn.'

This girl... she's obsessed.

"What's wrong honey?" I hear Jessica say behind me. "I.. I think Auburn is going to try and split us up, she's capable of anything, she'll go as far as she has to Jess..."
