Kirsten's POV
For the most part Aunt Clair was ok about Jason. She let's him come over, but there's no privacy at all. She makes me keep my door open and she stands in the hall listening to what we talk about. We didn't care though, we were just happy to be together. Anyways, Jason had a baseball game today so I went. Well it was at the school so I stayed and watched. That's all I did because I didn't know what was going on. When the game was over I was gonna go get pizza with Jason, Bryan and a few other team members but aunt Clair told me to come home. She was pretty calm on the phone so I figured everything was alright. When I got home I put my books down and went into the dining room. "I'm home Aunt Clair." "Alright, this came for you." She was holding an envelope. "What is it?" "Look at the shit!" She yelled. "Ok." I got the envelope from her and read it. "To: Kristen Mills From: Barbra Mills." I looked at aunt Clair. "This is from my mom!!" I was so happy that I was almost jumping up and down. "Mom!!" I ran up to my room and closed the door then hopped on my bed. I opened the letter and started to read. " "hey baby! How are you doing? Good? I know you must be having the time of your life down there with Clair and James. Well that's what Clair tells me every time I call you." I got so mad, I never knew she called me. I felt the tears felling my eyes. I took a deep breath and started reading the letter again. "she tells me you're hanging out with your friends having a good time. She even told me you have a boyfriend now! He better be treating you right or else I'll come kick his butt. Anyways honey, I'm alright. I've been in rehab, I'm trying to get better so that you and me can be together again. I know I haven't been the best mother to you and I'm sorry for that. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want another chance, just to make things better. Clair told me that you were mad with me right now, sweetie you have every right to be. I was stupid and I made big mistakes, unforgivable ones. I let you down time and time again. Baby I'm so sorry, I know that's not much but its all I have right now.." I was crying my heart out. How could she lie to my mother? Why wouldn't she tell me she called? I finished the letter then went and found aunt Clair.
Aunt Clair was watching some show on TV when I went into the living room. "Aunt Clair?" "What?!" She snapped. "My mother said she called and you lied to her, you told her I was mad at her. Why would you do that?" "What?!" She got up and walked towards me. "I want to talk to her so I can tell her I'm not mad." "No." "Why?" "Because I said so." "I want to talk to my mother, can you call her?" "No." "Why not?" "Go to your room!" "Wait, I want to talk to my mother, why won't you let me talk to her?" "Kristen I'm not going to tell you again!" "If you're worried about me telling her you hit me I won't, I just want to talk to my mom. I wanna hear her voice, I wanna tell her I love her." Before I knew it aunt Clair was beating me. I don't know how long it lasted but soon as she stopped I got up and ran out of the house. I ran 4 blocks before I collapsed to the ground. I was in so much pain, my head hurt and my back was killing me. I felt my nose bleeding then remembered I had on 2 shirts so I took one off and tried to stop the bleeding. "I have to go to the hospital.." I forced myself to get up and walk. While I was walking my cell started ringing and I looked at it. It was aunt Clair so I chose to let it ring. She called a few times and I didn't answer those either. I thought I was close to the hospital when my phone started ringing again. I looked at it and it was Jason this time. "Hello?" I answered. "Hey baby. What are you doing?" "Walking." "Walking where?" "To the hospital." "What why?!" "Aunt Clair beat me and I ran out of the house." "I'll go to the hospital with you. Where are you?" I exhaled. "Jason you don't have to, you're having..." "Where the hell are you?!" He yelled. I told Jason where I was then sat on the ground and waited for him. 20 minutes later Jason was pulling up. He got out and helped me into the truck and pulled off. "Jason you didn't have to do this." He completely ignored me. When we pulled up to the emergency room Jason parked and helped me in. I filled out all the papers then we sat in the waiting area. Jason looked at me. "How do you know everything to write on those papers?" "Let's just say this isn't my first rodeo." "What happen?" "I asked about my mother and aunt Clair got mad." "Why?" "I don't know Jason, She gets mad a lot." The nurse called me so Jason and I went back. The nurse looked at me then an hour later the doctor came in. "What happen today Kristen?" "Um.. I.. I fell down." "Your injuries say otherwise. Kristen if someone is hurting you, you have to tell me." "Nobody's hurting me I swear." The doctor exhaled and started working on me. When he finished he told me I could leave. When Jason and I left the hospital we went back to his house. "My mom will be home soon.." "You should take me home." "No, I'm just gonna tell her it's to late for me to drive." "Jay she'll be mad." I started to get scared. "No she won't it's the weekend and I'm gonna talk to her." He kissed me before I could protest. We sat on the couch and I went into Jason's book bag. "What are you doing?" "Nothing." I smiled. "Alright, I'm gonna make a sandwich. Want one?" "No I'm alright." "I'm making you one anyway." "K." When Jason left the room I took a pencil out and wrote him a short note. It pretty much just told him how much I cared about him. When I finished I closed his notebook and put it back in his bag.
Jason came back with the sandwich he made for me and we decided to watch footloose. "I love this movie!!" Jason looked at me. "You're supposed to love me." I started smiling and before I could say anything Jason's mother came in the house. "Jason." His mother said. "This conversation isn't over." Jason smirked then got up. "Hey mom!" I got up and followed him. "Hi sweetie, who's your friend?" She asked looking at me. "This is Kristen. Kristen this is my mom ms. Debbie." "Oh, this is Kristen!" She smiled at me. "Its nice to finally meet you sweetie." "It's nice to meet you as well ma'am." I smiled. "Mom we were watching footloose, can we finish it?" "Yeah, but I'm gonna go to bed." "Alright." "It was nice meeting you Kristen, I hope we can talk soon." "You as well, and anytime you want." "Alright don't let it get to late." She left and Jason and I went back to the living room. "Jay let's get on the floor." "I'm gonna get a pillow and a sheet." He got up and got the sheet and pillow and we laid on the floor. It wasn't to long before we both were sleep. The next morning I woke up an seen Jason looking at me. "Morning." I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "Morning baby." "How long have you been awake?" I asked. "A few minutes." Jason sat up an wrapped his arms around me. "Kristen?" Ms Debbie walked into the living room. "Yes ma'am?" I was afraid she was mad that I stayed over. "Your phone was ringing, so I answered it." "Oh.." "It was your aunt, she said she needs you to be home soon. "Oh ok.." She gave me the phone and went back to the kitchen. "Are you gonna get in trouble?" "I don't know, I don't care anymore Jay." "baby don't talk like that." "but I don't, i just want to leave. "Its just a little bit longer." "I know Jay I'm not giving up." Jason's mother gave us breakfast then Jason took me home.
