Chapter Eleven: Vertiginous

Please don’t answer your door. I’ll send Lez round the back soon. I’ll explain later. Pack some stuff with you. I’m so sorry.

That txt was useless to me now. I sat on the edge of my bed, my windows closed and blocked from the rest of the world. I didn’t want to see it. I didn’t want it to see me. There was a constant annoyance at my front door, I’d double bolted it, taking precautions. Falling back onto my bed, I couldn’t help but think about Alastair. This is what I wanted to avoid, I didn’t want him to be abused by these people, to be caught up in this chaos. I was horrible, I was only thinking about myself, being selfish.

Unlocking my phone, I found that Tom had txt me again,

Lez is round the back he’ll sneak you out of there. See you soon.

This was is it. My hands clasped tightly around the handles of my bags, and I walked out of there as soon as I could. Tom was telling the truth, his driver Lez as there, ready to take my things.

“Hold on a second, I’ll be right back.” I said dropping my things.

My feet led me to Al’s bedroom, scanning it quickly, I grabbed his favourite stuffed toy, a medium-sized Barney. Running back, I quickly turned on the alarm and ran out to Lez.

                Lez had been great, no one even noticed us. It was just us two and we were both silent during the ride with an exception of me asking if he could put the radio on. Looking out of the window, I sighed, would we be getting Al? I missed him so much now. All I wanted to know was that he was safe, and for me, the only way that statement were to come true, was seeing him, holding him in my arms.

As if reading my thoughts, Tom txt me.

Your friend said that she’d still look after Al for you. It looks like they still haven’t found out you have a son. We have that as an advantage.

So he did care that I had Alastair. Of course everything was too good to be true. Things were starting to look up for me, for Al. Why did everything have to happen the way it did? Why Tom? I probably sounded rude, maybe the anger for those wretched people transferred my feelings to Tom, but why did everyone care about who he was seeing? Was I really that big for him to be seeing someone? Looking out of the heavily tinted windows, I could see the sun setting. Al would be sitting on the couch with me by now, eating some crisps and watching his favourite show, or re-reading his books over and over. Sure I was his hairdresser, but why was it such a scandal? My sigh steamed up the window and I managed to pull myself away from the view. I missed my son dearly.

“Is this the right address Miss?” Lez asked me a few minutes later. I looked up, seeing his eyes in the rearview mirror. Why would I know if this was the right address. Looking out, I noticed we were parked outside of Kristina’s house. I practically jumped out of the car, it was safe to say that this was the right house.

Knock-Knock-Knock-Knock

Swaying and shifting my weight, I waited impatiently at the doorstep.

“Who’s that?” I head Kris’ voice say excitedly.

A few seconds passed before the door opened slightly. Looking down, I could see him popping his head through the door. His eyes told me there was a huge smile hiding behind the door.

“Mummy!” he swung the door wider and jumped into my arms. I crouched down and pulled him up with me, spinning him around.

“Oh baby I’ve missed you so much.” My eyes were watering. Why was I crying? I normally felt like this when he’d fall down, or scrape his knee, or let go of my hand when we were in a parking lot. The space in my chest felt as though it had been staked through and it was now healing itself. It was a painful experience, mixing with the overjoyed feeling of having him back in my arms.
