She looks at me and slowly stands, i take in her apperance, she was young, brown hair, blue eyes.
"Jessica?" she whispers looking me over. I cross my arms and nod. She goes to give me a hug but i back up and a look of pain crosses her face.
"Don't...You don't get to hug me," i say to her a little upset she was acting like we've known each other forever.
"Alright, i deserve that one.....You've grown so much in the past seventeen years," she says with a small smile. I look back at my friends who were watching me the whole time and a sudden feeling of nervousness takes over me.
"I.....This was a bad idea," i say turning to leave. I get a few feet away from my mother and Justin stops me.
"Jessica stop....Alright you can do this," he says to me holding my hand. I look at him.
"come with me, i need you there," i whisper. He nods and we walk back to where my mother was watching us with a smile. I keep a grip on Justin's hand.
"Sorry," i tell my mom. She smiles.
"It's alright, i wasn't expecting you to just accept me right away....I can see even through all the bad you found a good," she says smiling at Justin.
"Yeah, i did," i say leaning into him. He smiles and holds his free hand out to my mom.
"Justin," he greets. She takes his hand with a smile.
"Allison....It's nice to meet you. I assume you are Jessica's boyfriend?" she asked trying to hold back a smile. Justin nods and i smile, it sounded weird hearing people say such a thing.
"So, i know you must have a lot of questions to ask me," she says to me. I nod and we all take a seat in the sand. I sit between Justin's legs leaning back on him.
"Why did you give me away?" i say getting right to the point, because i knew all my questions will come from this story. She sigh and plays with the sand.
"Kneew you were going to ask.....It's complicated Jessica....You father was a big business man so our family had a lot. YOu were only a month old when everything happened. You were our pride and joy, our world was around you and only you. But your uncle didn't like that, he wanted to take over the business when your father died but we left it to you when you grew up....The man who murdered your dad, he was hired by your uncle. It was terrible and when i saw your father, i lost it. By the times the cops came i was a mess and unstable. They seen i had a daughter and your uncle convinced them i wasn't in the state of mind to care for you, so he took you. There was no court papers saying her could do so, i tried everything to find you. When i got the call from Pattie i was over joyed that she set up a meeting for us, then she told me everything you have been through and i wanted nothing more than to find your uncle and kill him myself...YOu should have never had to gone through that pain...I am a terrible mother and i know it," she says looking away friom us.
"My uncle....my uncle is the man that has been doing this, to his own family?" i say raising my voice. Justin wraps his arms around me and i calm down a little.
"Jessica i tried everything to track you down, i wanted you back. You were my baby not his...But he moved here and i didn't know....But i am here now and i want to be back in your life, if you will let me... I found a house a few streets down from where you are staying now... It's perfect," she says looking at me. I tense, i don't think i was ready to move that fast.
"I don't know.... I can't just trust you again..You let someone take me...I need time to think," i say getting up with Justin. My mom stands and hugs herself.
"I understand, um," she hands me a paper, "Here's my number if you need anything or want to talk," she says with a small smile. I take it and smile and then do something unexpected, i hug her. She is tense at first then hugs me back.
"I missed you," I whisper to her. I hear her sigh.
"I missed you too baby," she says pulling away. "Now go home and get some rest, school tomorrow and all," She says with a smile. I take Justin's hand again.
"It was nice to meet you Allison," Justin says as we walk away.
The next day at school i was sitting in the libraby waiting for Layla so we could study a little while the boys were taking their test, since we had free period. I guess i got bored and found myself making a call.
"Hello?" her voice comes over the phone. I smile.
"Allison, hey," i say in a cheerful tone.
"Jessica, what a surprise... what's up baby?" she asked.
"Nothing, just have a free hour and wanted to know if maybe you want to get some coffee after school or something," i suggest.
"That would be lovely.. I would love that very much," she says with cheer.
"Alright meet me there at 3 then," i say hanging up. I was happy for once, i was actually looking forward to something. But something always has to ruin the good for me, i can never just be happy because when i looked up my happiness faded rigth away.
