Her Keeper

Chapter 77

--Julliet Morrison-Parris--

I banged on Elliott's door not having the patience to wait until it opened. The door snatched opened and Thalia's angry mug fell into a pitiful frown as she surveyed me from head to toe before she pulled me into her arms, embracing me. I immediately began sobbing into her chest as she tried her best to comfort me.

Minutes later, after I calmed down we were both sitting at her and Elliott's dining room table in silence.

It's been two weeks since Geovanni's been home. He came for clothes while I was away that was for sure, but he's been gone and I couldn't call him because he destroyed his phone on our dining room floor.

"I hate to be the one to tell you, Julliet, but you have to get out of here before he comes back." Thalia broke our silence.

"He doesn't want to see me?" I sniffled, already knowing the answer.

"I don't know how Geo really feels deep down, but on the surface, no. He doesn't." She confirmed, making my heart stop.

"How are my babies?" I asked.

"They're great, Julliet." She assured me to which I nodded.

Geo had picked up our children from my parents' house one day and they unknowingly let him. They had no clue about what was going on in our relationship at the moment.

"Have you been eating?" She asked me.

I nodded in agreement, though it was a lie. I haven't. I haven't eaten in almost three straight days. The last thing I ate was a ham sandwich and that was three days ago and I haven't been consistently eating in the ten days prior to that. Apart from that, my sleep paralysis was back and so were my nightmares.

"Julliet, you need to at least take care of yourself." Thalia preached.

How?  I wanted to scream. I can't even do that. Geo was right for leaving my messy ass. He took care of me.

"Julliet, you're going to have to leave." She reminded me. "I promise to come check up on you, but you can't stay. You can't allow him to meet you here." She pleaded.

"Ok." I whispred as I got up and proceeded to leave. She stopped me by grabbing my arm and hugging me again.

"Call me if you need someone and if not me, find someone you could call, Jules. You still have Guilia and Krystopher to live for." She begged. "Remember that." She whispered as she released me.

An hour later, I re-entered what used to be me and Geovanni's home. I wasn't even sure anymore. I headed upstairs to our bedroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked horrible. My hair was a mess, my clothes were a bit loose. I hadn't showered since yesterday and my eyes had five pound bags beneath them.

"I don't want to live, Geovanni." I sobbed, remembering the night he walked in on me cutting myself. "Save me." I had completely lost it. I was talking to my reflection. I walked backward until I fell back on to our bed.

I woke up to the sound of a steady beeping. Looking around for a bit, I realized that I was no longer in my bed. I was in a cold hospital room.

I looked around in hopes that Geo was here, but he wasn't.

He never came, did he?

As soon as the thought crossed my mind, the handle on the door was turned and I momentarily became hopeful until my Dad walked through the door, followed by my Mother.

"Julliet!" My mother happily exclaimed as she rushed over to me and say on the edge of my bed as she hugged me.

My father only stood there glaring at me. I could see the disappointment written all over his face.
