When We Were Young(13)

Alicia:

I couldn't get home fast enough.

I raced to my car as soon as Cole had left me with those chilling words.

Its not only your back you have to watch.

I sped home maybe even running a stop sign or two, but thankfully and surprisingly the streets leading to my apartment were all empty and cleared.

As soon as i parked my car I raced into the building and bounded up the stairs not wasting any time waiting for the slow elevator. I took the stairs up two at a time taking off the invention of the French called high heals. I had finally reached the 14th floor and found my door open.

My eyes widened in fear and I grasped my heals and threw a key in between fingers ready to take someone out if needed.

I cautiously opened the door slowly and found it completely trashed. I was glad to get a text from Abuelita saying she had taken AJ out for some ice-cream about 10 minutes ago.

I ran a frustrated hand through my hair and kicks my broken flower pot to the side. I stood up my stool and sat at the kitchen island. I put my hands in my face and screamed.

"WHY ME?!"

I looked up to find a note. It was written in a neat script that almost looked typed.

You're lucky that your precious baby boy was out AJ right?. Keep an eye on him, he wont be harmed but being scarred for life is a second option right? Well until we meet again.

~Cole D'Ambrisio

I nearly ripped the paper in half when I gripped it. I was furious. I had put my son in danger, and all because some self-absorbed BRAT decided to get back at my brother because he had to serve less than a day in jail.

After I had cleaned up and restored order in my home I sat and thought about where I would send AJ to live for a few weeks.

I had to send him away no matter how much it hurt me, I had to keep him safe and out of harms way.

Abuelita's? No she has to take care of Abuelito also, I cant burden her with anymore chores to do.

The Handler's? No, Alec's grandparents are away on vacation for the next 3 months.

Derrick and Hannah? Of course not. Never would I burden them with more than one child, especially with all the crap Cole has brought upon them.

I sighed frustrated knowing there was only one option left, and it definitely wasn't my parents.

I grabbed my phone from my purse and hesitantly began to look up a number.

I pressed call and took small breaths as it rang.

"Hello?"

I let out a shaky breath. "Hey."

"Alicia? Is everything okay?"

I sighed. "No. Nothing is okay. I need a favor."

"Alicia whats wrong?"

"I need you to take AJ for the next few weeks."

"Wait, what? Why whats going on?"

"Because I'm being targeted Alec."
