Yes or No?

Chapter 13

I sit there in my fathers arms crying like a five year old. scared and unsure what to do. My father pats me and says everything is okay. when I know its not. He's scared too. I can feel his tension. I then pull away and sit up.

My father tells me to get my phone so he can hear the message. I slowly walk. The staircase feels like a thousand steps high. when I finally manage to get to my room I quickly grab my phone from the floor. I then rush down stairs not wanting to hold it.

I quickly give it to my father and I walk away. I dont want to hear his voice agin.When hes finnished I join him on the sofa.

"Jane the message says..."

" NO! I know what the phone says. I don't want to hear it from you. I terrified as it is please don't repeat it." I say truly not wanting to hear it.

" How on world did he get your new number?" Dad asks

" I don't know" I say

" Jane, you need to stop avoiding these problems. You need help but you wont let anyone help you. stop pushing them away. I'm calling the police."

" Why so you can tell them an evil man from the past is back and threatening me again. I'm sure they're going to do as much as they did before. NOTHING! they just shrugged it and didn't bother to do a damn thing!" I say raising my voice.

" They might help this time." he says.

" Whatever. Call the police but I don't want to be here when they'er here. I need to be with someone I trust and feel safe with. Someone who can protect me. Just like you failed to do." As soon as I say the words I regret them. I Know they hurt. It wasn't his fault I got hurt. I Quickly change my face from anger to symphony.

" Dad, I'm sorry.."

" No. your right I didn't protect you. But whats really worst is I didn't comfort you or even help you with the years of nightmares and fears. I'm sorry. Where do you want to go?"

" I want to stay here."

" NO! your going somewhere you cant be hurt. he knows where we live. Whom do you feel safe with?"

I think for a bit and remember the feeling of Nathans arms around me, protecting me, keeping me safe. Out of harms way.I quickly grab the phone.

"who are you calling?" Dad asks

" Nathan." i say and Dad gives me and angry look then understands my feelings.

With tears still coming out and my voice sounding like I cried buckets of tears, I quickly dial Nathans number and listen to the rings, RING.....RING.....RING..."Hello?"

" Nathan? I Need you."

" whats wrong? why are you crying? What happened? Are you Okay?"

" Yes, yes, I just need to know if its okay if you can pick me up and have me stay a night. I'll explain in the car. Is it okay?" I ask

" Yeah sure, anything for you I just have to let my parents Know."

" Thank you so much. I'm so sorry its such short notice please come as quickly as you can."

"Okay, bye, I Love you." Nathan says then hangs up the phone quickly.

I tell my dad its okay for me to go and I quickly grab a change of cloths. In less than 14 minuets Nathan is knocking frantically at the door. I rush down and open it. As soon as I see Nathan I engulf him in a hug and cry into his chest.He hugs me back.

My father walks in and says,

" Thank you for taking her, we have a serious problem and I need you to protect her and keep her safe. This is asking a lot but please don't let go of her."

" I wont. and its really no trouble." Nathan says

" Now you two go and be safe." My dad says shoving us out. I'm still hugging Nathan when we get to his car. I let go and get in. Nathan turns on the car a starts driving.

" wahts going on Jane? Are you oakay? Are you hurt? whats happening?" Nathan asks worried.

" Its just someone from the past is back and he did something horrible and some how he got my number and is threatening me. And now I'm really scared and all I want is you and to be safe."

" I promise Nothing will happen to you while your with me. What did he do?" Nathan asks ceriously

" I really don't want to talk about it right now."

" I'm sorry."

"its fine. So your parents are okay with me coming over for a night?"

" Yeah. You can sleep in my room if you'd like. Or on the couch your choice."

" With you sounds great. I really don't want to be alone. And you make me feel safe. All I want to do is go to sleep."

" Okay when we get there all you have to do is follow me and you can sleep as long as you like. I swear I'll protect you."

We get to his house and its dark.

" where are your parents?" I ask

" they'er probably in bed or something." Nathan says

"oh" is all I say

We head inside and he takes me upstairs to his room. His room is painted light grey with blue trimming. his bed is centered in the middle and a desk is on the side wall. there's a dresser is by his door. There is a night stand next to his bed holding a lamp and alarm clock. There's two doors one that's a closet and one I assume is a bathroom. And two windows on each side of his bed let in a bit of light from the moon.

He motions for me to his bed. I turn and face Nathan. I then wrap my arms around him and cry.

" I'm so scared Nathan." I say through tears.

" Shhh, Its okay I'm never letting you go. I'll keep you safe, no one can get in. I promise." Nathan says while leaning his chin on my head and wrapping his arms tight around me. We stand like that for a wile. Me crying until everything is out and him embracing me until I'm done. He pulls away and says,

" I love you."

" I love you too." I say then I tip toe and plant a warm sweet kiss on his lips. when I pull down he leans down and kisses me back. He pulls away leaving me breathless.

I then climb into his bed and he lays next to me holding me in his arms. I the back of my head into him and he gently kisses me on the head. We fall asleep like that. Safe and sound.
