Her New Mommy

She's a keeper

To say that I was happy was an understatement. I couldn't be more happy, more satisfied, or more loved. My life, at the moment, was everything I could ask for. I loved my job, my best friend, my students, Cole, and Jasmine, everything was good. Which is why I couldn't understand why on earth I found a package on my doorstep when I arrived home from the mall. I already knew who it was from but I didn't know what was inside, and if I'm being honest, I was really scared to find out.

I couldn't bring myself to open it, I've been sitting on the couch for the last half hour just staring at it. I just don't know why. It'a been a while since I've heard from them so I guess it was bound to happen eventually right? Right. As I was staring blankly at the package I had a realization, and my realization was that I am an idiot. I can't let this control my life, I can't let this control what I do or how I feel. I'm strong and I've dealt with these two assholes for the majority of my life. They've taken so much from me already and there is no way in hell that I'm letting them take anymore.

"Fuck this," I whispered as I tore open the package.

I ignored the photos that filled the package and grabbed the letter that was inside,

"Hey darling, just thought that I would send you one of my infamous packages, I know that you just love them. Just like how I love you. You know I haven't been happy since our last visit, you've made me very upset. The way that you acted made me really mad, and you don't want me to be mad, do you? I think you remember the last time you made me mad and if you don't let's just say that it didn't end too well for you. Anyway, enough small talk. I see that you have a new guy in your life, I'm not upset by that because he won't last long. Once you tell him everything about you, he will go running faster than you can say, Chuck. I don't know exactly how or when I'm going to go see you but just know that it's going to be soon. Oh, and if you're wondering about Alex, well he's doing just fine. He met a nice girl, I think you know her. She's tall, leggy, blonde, oh and the mother of your boyfriend's child. Don't worry we'll treat her right unless she gets us upset and then you know what can happen. This is all I've got for now darling, until next time.

Love,
your very own Chuck."

I can't believe this, he went after Jolly Green Giant? How pathetic. I check the time and notice that it's already five thirty, Cole should be coming over soon. When he first found out about Chuck and Alex he made me swore to tell him if they ever tried to contact me again and I'm hell bent on keeping my promise. I know this may sound cheesy but I love him and I don't think I would be able to keep anything from him even if I tried.

A knock on the door brings me out of my thoughts, I place the note down and go to answer the door. A smile makes it's way to my face as I see Cole standing there in his policemen uniform carrying bags of hot cheetos.

"I love you so much," I said grabbing the bags of hot cheetos, "you can leave now," I said and then closed the door in his face. I walked away but I didn't lock the door because I knew that he knew I was joking and therefore he walked in shortly after.

"That was rude," he said sitting next to me on the couch.

"Didn't you know that I'm only with you because you bring chips with you whenever you come over?" I said.

"So all this time you were using me? And here I thought that you actually did love me," he said falling dramatically on the couch.

"You're so dramatic!" I said laughing. "Anyway now that this theater show is over, I have something to show you."

"What is it?"

I didn't respond to him and instead, I just gave him the note and the package of photos.
