Jasmine

I hurriedly took the groceries inside my mother's trailer. I had been staying in the country since I found out that Marcus had been bonded out. I know that Raven probably lied but I don't care, I ain't taking no chances. "When are you going home Jazz? You can't hide here forever." My mama said coming into the kitchen to help me put up the food. "I can't right now mama. He is out and I just cost him everything. He is gonna wanna hurt me." I said placing the peanut butter in the cabinet. "Nonsense child. That man ain't stun you. He said he forgive you and he is glad that you did that." She said making me turn around to look at her. "You talked to him?" I asked her. "Of course I did. That's Malaysia's dad whether you like it or not. I invited him over for dinner tonight." She said making me shake my head and grab my baby. "Why would you put us in jeopardy like that mama?! God!" I can't believe her right now. She can be so...ugh! I start grabbing my stuff and my daughter's stuff, putting it in my car. I can't be here when he gets here. "Where are you going?" She asked me coming to the door as I was loading my things in the trunk. "I can't tell you. You might tell him." I say strapping Malaysia in her seat. "Don't be childish and take that man's baby from him. He deserves to see her." My mama said. "Yeah and I deserve my life because without it, she won't have a mom." I say getting in the car and driving off. I can't believe she did  that. I'm driving along when I notice a black truck following closely behind me. "Really? Ride my ass?" I speed up and to my surprise so did they. My heart started beating fast as they rammed into the back of my car. Malaysia started screaming as I pushed the gas pedal to the floor and did my best to get away from the truck. It has to be Marcus. But I can't see into the truck to find out. Sirens came out of nowhere and I breathed a sigh of relief as they pulled me over. I jumped out the car as the truck sped past us. "That truck it hit my car. It was trying to run me off the road." I was trying my best not to hyperventilate. "Calm down ma'am." The Officer said as he walked around my car and took pictures. I got Malaysia out of her car seat and tried to comfort her as the officer called it in. "Did you see who the person was?" "All I know is that it was a man. I couldn't really get a good look though. I think it may have been Marcus Williams." I say rocking my baby. "That's a big accusation. Why would he...Hey you're the girl he had that baby on his wife with? Oh yeah you're right that might have been him. I'm going to follow you home and go see where he is." I nodded and strapped Malaysia back in her seat.
