You promised me

85.

The last chapter was 84. I realized I marked it 85!.

JAELYNN POV

"What the hell you mean I'm not allowed to go?!" I asked. I'm always missing out on the fun.

"Because it's dangerous. I don't want nothing to happen to you or our children" Elijah said.

"I'm going! Even if I have to stay in the car! I'm going! I missed out with my mom and I'm sure not about to miss out with that molester" I protested.

Elijah sighed "Jaelynn...".

"Don't Jaelynn me! I said I'm going! End of discussion" Elijah rolled his eyes and walked out the room. It's not like I'm about to go and get my hands dirty. I mean I wish I could. Following Elijah around he was grabbing certain things to put into the duffle bag.

"Jillian can you watch..." she cut me off "I already know what you guys are up to. So yes I'll watch zahrie".

"Thank you!" I smiled. Elijah walked out the door trying to leave me but I was right behind him. I got into the car and he got in and stared at me "you shouldn't be here".

"But I am. So let's go!" I said.

Elijah didn't fight me on it anymore. He started the car and we began our long drive to the state prison. "Let me ask you... what was your dad in prison for again?".

"He raped a young girl a couple houses down. That's what I was told" Elijah gripped the steering wheel tightly. "I mean my mom would lie to me about him so who knows".

"Can't you look him up on the website so see what offenses he has?" Elijah asked.

"Oh yeah that's right" pulling out my phone I went on that infamous site and put his name in. Once the page loaded I was in shock. "Oh my god". Elijah glanced at me "what does it say?".

"Statutory rape".
"Three counts of sexual assault"
"Aggravated sexual battery"
"Sodomy"
"Sexual misconduct"

I started to feel nauseous this man my mother stood behind knowing what he did. He clearly had a problem and she just shoved it under the rug. She allowed him to live with us knowing he had a problem. Feeling a little Angry that she could've prevented what happened to me. But she knew of it and didn't stop him.  But instead she called me a liar.

"Jaelynn?" Elijah said.

"Huh?" I said.

"You okay?" I nodded "yeah just a little shocked. She never told me all of this. She just said he was accused of raping a little girl five houses down".

"This man is a waste of space! He doesn't deserve to live. All he's doing is causing trauma to everyone he comes in contact with. And your bitch ass mother had the audacity to bring him to your baby shower. She's lucky she's dead already".

"She's been covering for him all this time. What type of human being puts someone who causes harm in front of their own child?".

"Someone who is sick themselves. Don't go blaming yourself for any of this. You did the right thing. You told on him and he got into trouble".

"If I found out anyone touched zahrie I would kill them. Without hesitation I would be on the front page of the newspaper in the morning" Elijah smiled "me too! We would both be on the front".

Finally reaching the prison. Elijah parked further down from the entrance way. He texted Renzo's friend making sure everything was set. "Be sage please".

"I'll be fine. You act like I haven't done this before" he said.

"You got jokes! But seriously, stay alert and check your surroundings" I said. Elijah glanced at me "I'm doing this for you. Since you can't".

"Oh thank you so much! I wish I could fuck him up myself but you just keep getting me pregnant at the wrong time" I joked.

"It's a perfect time. But stay here and don't open the door for anyone. Unless you hear me knocking on the window". I nodded "I know this already".

"You ready for this?" He asked.

"I should ask you this question" I teased.

"I'm good. I can't stand this man and I'm about to give him the justice he should've gotten" he leaned in and kissed me "Love you".

"Love you, too! Make me proud" I smiled. He placed a hand on my belly "there's snacks in the back. I know you'll get hungry eventually".

"You got my snacks?!!" I was so happy. He nodded "I know you too well. You start getting bored you so dumb shit. So I'm trying to keep you occupied".

"Rude! But the snacks make up for it" he smiled and got out the car and made his way inside the prison. I sat there just rummaging through the bags of snacks until Elijah came back.

And it begins...
