My Girlfriend's Mom

Yellona

I jumped in my car in a hurry and sped off as soon as my car started. I couldn't necessarily think right now because the thought of Stefan kissing me moments ago was on my mind or maybe it was the fact that I didn't stop him that bothered me.

I had specifically told him I had someone, but he still insisted on treating me with clothes and going out places with my kids. I mean, I liked his company and his sense of humor. I just couldn't tell if I was into him like he was into me and if I was, it was probably because he was treating me like I was a person and not a trophy like Caleb had.

The thought of having feelings for a guy gave me a bad feeling in my chest or it could have been the fact that I was driving and had no clue where I was going so I decided to call the number back.

"Are you coming?" He asked as soon as he answered the phone. I sighed heavily and wiped the tears from my face before hitting my steering wheel in anger. There were so many things I could have done better to let this not happen. Like not have her in school in the front place.

"Yes." I answered calmly.

"Good. You know where I am." He said to me before hanging up the phone. He was right. I did know where he was, but I didn't wanna revisit the scene of the crime. I didn't wanna know that she'd gotten killed for no reason at all.

I pulled up to the house after a while and parked the car. Noting that his car wasn't in his driveway, I cussed and pulled off yet again. Trying to go over in my head where he could have been that I knew of.

I met him in the mall, but I don't think he'd go there with a bunch of lurking eyes to see. Then there was the trailer. That was at least an hour and a half away. I needed someone with me in case he tried to pull a gun on me. So I called Stefan who answered immediately.

"I got Charli ready in case you called. Where you at?" He asked me. I chuckled softly. He was always prepared for something.

"I'm down the way. Make sure you have your gun on you." I said to him before hanging up.

I pulled into the apartment. Complex and waited until I saw him get out before I got out and got into the passenger seat while he clicked Charli in. He pulled me out of the car and looked at me with concern written all over his face.

"What's going through your head right now?" He asked me as I leaned up against my car and he stood inches away from me. I folded my arms and sighed, trying my hardest not to fold right in front of his face.

I felt like a failure. Like I wasn't enough for my kids. Like I couldn't do enough for myself as it was and that's why the things happened in my life. Like I have no control over anything at the moment. I thought to myself as I looked up at him with tear filled eyes. He took my face into his huge hands and wiped my eyes before pulling me in for a hug.

"I'm here for you Yel. I promise. Anytime you feel like you wanna turn around, we can." He said to me as he pulled away. Then kissed me on the forehead like I was some little kid. I had no clue why it angered me that he did that, but it had. I let it go after he hugged me and we got in the car.

"Where to?" He asked me. As he hit a whole U-turn to leave the apartments.

"We're about to ride to my dad's for the first time in weeks to drop off Charli, then to the country." I said to him. He nodded in response and we drove in silence the whole way.

When we pulled up to my dad's, I got out of the car in a hurry and stumbled towards  the door before knocking. It flew open and Cody stood there in shock before pulling me into a hug while laughing.
