Criminal Love

Chapter 36: Jo Elma's POV

We walk up to the front door of my ex, Stephen Jones's house, and Jason pushes me behind him for protection. He opens the screen door and knocks on the front door. Shuffling is heard in the house and the door opens revealing Cheyanne, his mother.

"Hello, can I help you two? Is this about my son again messing with his exes? If so he's in his room, so come on in." she says as she opens the door to let us in.

"It is exactly what you said, Cheyanne! I still have the blue and black dresses by the way! Thank you for letting me have them." I say to her as she steps back to look at me closer.

"Katie? Is that you, sweetie?" she asks me with a smile.

"Yes ma'am it is me. This is my boyfriend, Jason. Are you doing well?" I ask her as we hug.

"Oh, sweetie, I wish I was! They both are so awful. I'm guessing my son still bothers you after all this time, huh?" she says to me.

"Yes and we are here to make him apologize and swear he will not contact me again. If he hurts me again, it's game." I tell her as Jason pulls me back slowly toward him.

"He's in his room and I will not stop you two from doing what you feel is necessary." she says to us as we head to his room. Jason puts me behind him and knocks on Stephen's door.

"Yeah? What is it?" Stephen answers.

"These two people wanna chat with you. Can you let them in?" Cheyanne says as she seems to brace herself for a yelling match.

"Yeah they can come in I guess!" he answers back.

"I want a definite answer, dude!" Jason spats back.

"Alright come in!" Stephen says as Jason opens the door.

We walk in and shut the door. Stephen looks me up and down hungrily. Jason glares at him and puts me behind him. Stephen clears his throat and speaks.

"Katie, is that you hiding behind this guy?" he asks me as I flinch and put my head on Jason's back.

Jason turns to look at me and I nod as I come out from behind him slowly, shaking as I do so. Jason gets behind me and takes both of my shaking hands and strokes them with his thumbs, trying to calm me down.

"Yes it is and I did not come here to get back with you. I want you to swear that you'll leave me the fuck alone and never have anything to do with me again. I want you to apologize for putting me through the worst hell imaginable. I don't want your sob stories or your petty attempt at begging. You know where that will lead you. Nowhere! And you better not try to put your hands on me again either. Understand?" I struggle to say without a shaky voice.

"Katie, I've done told you a million times that I've changed and only want you. I know you don't believe me and that's because you won't let me show you. I still have the ring and everything. I swear I won't do anything like that every again. I can't stand to-"

"Enough and give her what she wants and be done with it!" Jason yells at him.

Stephen's eyes gloss over and tears run down his cheeks. He walks toward me and gets on his knees.

"As I was saying, I can't stand to be away from you and I'm sorry for everything I've done in the past. Please take me back?" he begs.

"She's with me dude. She doesn't need your sorry ass. Now give her the promise of no contact and we will be out of your hair in no time flat." Jason yells at him again with rage.

Stephen's eyes turn black and Jason puts me behind him.

"Go in the living room and wait for me, alright?" Jason says to me as I fidget with the door.

I turn back and nod as I open the door to Cheyanne frozen in fear.

"Cheyanne, are you alright?" I ask her as I shut the door.

She looks at me and brings me to the living room as we call Ewell.

*Phone Conversation*

"Hello?" Ewell answers.

"Honey, Katie is here trying to convince our son to leave her alone and her boyfriend is demanding an apology and a promise on no contact. Stephen just blacked out and Jason told her to come out here with me. I need authorities here NOW!!" she explains.

"We are on the way!" he says.

*End of Phone Conversation*

Cheyanne and I go back to Stephen's room, open the door, and see Jason pinned to the ground being punched.

"NOOOO!" I scream as I run and punch Stephen in the head, which I regret but don't care because of how bad of shape Jason was in. Stephen turns quickly and tackles me to the ground. Adrenaline kicks in my body and he punches me in the face and I kick his torso and he kicks me in the stomach and chest, causing me to scream in pain a little.

"IF YOU'RE GONNA HURT ANYONE AGAIN, IT IS GOING TO BE ME, SON OF A BITCH!" I scream as I punch him in the face repeatedly.

He then hit me in the place that could kill me: my mediport. I gasp as I feel it break in half in my body and scream bloody murder. I see Cheyanne with Ewell and they both drag Stephen off of me as I feel my eyes glass over. Jason gets up quickly and rushes to my side. He tries to pick me up, but I scream in pain and he set me down.

"MY MEDIPORT! HE HIT MY MEDIPORT AND IT'S BROKEN! I NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW! I COULD DIE!" I scream as the paramedics come in and get Jason off of me and Stephen is arrested for double assault and battery and attempted murder of a disabled being.

The paramedics put a cone around my head and put me on a stretcher. They wheel me outside and stick me in the back of the ambulance. Jason swears up and down that he's fine and will follow us to the hospital. They shut the doors and they put me on oxygen and put in an IV. They put on the heart moniter and everything to check how I'm doing and I get to where I can't stay awake and I'm terrified.

"Stay with us, sweetheart. Your boyfriend gave us your purse with your ID and insurance card. We are taking you to Sacred Heart in Pensacola, alright? That was upon his request. We will not be stopping and the police are covering your boyfriend as he follows, alright?" The lady paramedic says to me as tears sting my eyes.

I nod and scream in pain as I do. The ambulance starts moving and the paramedic says that Jason has his hazard lights on behind me with a police officer behind him. I put my left thumb up in agreement as we head to Sacred Heart.
