Diaries of a Badass (A Princeton Mindless Behavior Love Story) [FINISHED]

Chapter 12

                                                            Janelle's POV

I finally woke up and looked around everywhere. Where the hell am I? This isn't my room or my stuff. I had to think about it for a moment when I finally realized that I was at my mother's house. To be honest, I thought everything was a dream and I was sitting here waiting to get yelled at by my step dad. A Kool-aid smile appeared on my lips. I was away from home and I made peace with my mom! This calls for writing in my diary.

I got up from the bed and reached in my suitcase to pull out my diary. Quickly, I grabbed my lime green fuzzy pen and opened my diary to a fresh page.

Dear Diary,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! That's all I can say to you right now...well not really, I still have a lot to say. Diary you have helped me so much! You gave me the answers I've been waiting for! Most of my life I sat in wonder, misery and hatred about everything. But now, I don't have to do that anymore Diary! All thanks to you. I've found my true love, Jacob, found out about who my real father is and made peace with my mom. We're gonna go to counseling to help us with our relationship. I don't know exactly what other details that come with it, but we'll just have to see later tonight and I'll tell you everything Diary. I promise!

I closed my diary and smiled. Things are getting better and better ever since I came here. All of these thougts were just put into overdrive in my head. The door opened with Princeton peeping in from the crack.

"May I come in?" He asked.

I smiled. "Of course you can." 

Princeton came in and sat on my bed. He kept staring at me in silence. I started to wonder if I had something on my face or was my hair just sticking up?

"What? Is there something wrong with my hair or face. Or do you seriously have a staring problem." I questioned.

Princeton smirked at me. "Well your hair is sticking up, but that's not why I'm staring at you. I do NOT have a staring problem, so that's out the question. But there is nothing wrong with your face. You are beautiful, special, loving, caring and sometimes stubborn, but I love you. That's why I'm staring, your beauty just stands out and it's begging me to look at you."

"Awwww baby. Come here."

Princeton lied down beside me with his arms out, waiting for me to put my head on his chest. I did so and he began to stroke my hair.

"Jacob? Can I ask you something?"

"Out of all the girls in the 3rd grade why did you choose me? There were girls there that were prettier and more talented than I was."

"That may be true to you, but for me it's different. You must have forgotten who you were before your depression. Baby, you were so beautiful and full of light, always so talkative and creative. We shared the same interests in writing and I couldn't help myself to have a crush on you. You are very talented and you should know that."

I was in deep thought of what he said. At this moment, I wouldn't even question anything about what he said. Everything he said was probably true, I guess I had forgotten who I was before. But Princeton is slowly changing me little by little, and I am not complaining about it. I just don't know what's gonna be the next step in my life. I would question it, but then I would be back to square one.

"Your mom called the police on the bastard that you call a step dad." Princeton mentioned with venom in his voice.

I raised up from his chest to look at him in his face. "When."

"While you were taking a nap. They are going to arrest him I think. From what I heard your dad had some solid evidence that he was guilty for everything he did. Guess you didn't know you had a surveillance camera in the house did you?"

"Nope. So what's gonna happen to him?"

Mom barged in the door with Zoe. "COME TO THE LIVING ROOM QUICK!"

Both of us shot up from the bed and trailed behind Zoe and Mom. On the tv screen was the news. It was a picture of my dad on the screen. The news anchor man was saying that he had been arrested 25 to life.He's been accused of sexual abuse, stealing, breaking and entering and child abuse. Before the anchor man could finish the whole story mommy shut off the tv. She turned around to look at us.

"We are free baby! We're free! No more crying, no more hiding, no more pain, none, nada!" She said.

I rant to her and hugged her. Mom waved at Jacob and Zoe to come over and join the love fest and to celebrate our freedom. Everything was happening so fast and I could barely catch my breath of it all. This day would probably be the most remembered day of our lives.

"Sweetie I called a counselor for us! Her name is Michelle Mendez and she's gonna help us baby! I'm thinking about moving back to LA instead of here in Florida. And your father and I may be getting back together. He's talking about marriage sweetheart! We're gonna be a family! And we're gonna adopt Zoe and everything will be just perfect for all of us! Aren't you excited baby!" Mom exclaimed.

I nodded my head with pure astonishment! There was nothing I could say, I was just speechless.

"So when is the counsel meeting?" Zoe asked.

In 2 days. She wants us to start ASAP. I'm excited to tell her the plan for our new beginning." Mom answered.

"Great!" Princeton said.

"Okay I have to start dinner! This is your new home for now and you guys can do anything you want. I just want you guys to be comfortable. Have fun!" Mom told us.

We all said thank you and sat on the couch in the living room flicking through the channels. Finally we decided to just watch Madea's Big Happy Family until dinner was ready.

Peace and Mindless love! -Jazzii ♥
