*Blades POV*
Walking down the stairs to find my mother before I leave I’m still frustrated about why she wants to leave. It’s obviously safer here. Does she not understand that? I just don’t understand why she is being so difficult. As I continue through the house I found my mom in the kitchen cooking breakfast as it is now around 6:30.
“Mom I’m leaving, I’ll be back in the morning” I say as I turn around she stops me
“Blade did you go see her a minute ago?” She asked while staring at me
“Yes mom, I went to speak with her and give her a phone to contact me if needed while I’m gone. She is going to try to leave again. She said that she doesn’t understand why she can’t leave and said that she is just a problem.”
“Well honey, you have to understand that she knows nothing about you. She is probably scared out of her mind up there.”
What she said is true. So with that I walked out hoping that when I get back tomorrow that she is still here.
*Rains POV*
As I set here trapped yet again in a strangers house I just wonder why my life has ended up like this. Then I hear a baby cry, I guess Rebecca woke up. I wait a minute but I don’t hear anyone get to her so I go to the next room to check on her. I pick her up and set in the rocking chair with her and she starts to settle down right as James walks in.
“I’m sorry I didn’t realize that you were in here” James says as he walks closer to check on the baby
“She was crying and I didn’t hear anyone so I just came to check on her. Here you go.” I carefully handed off the baby and walked out of the room and down the stairs hoping to make a clean break sense nobody was in sight.
“Are you sneaking out on us” Christopher said as he walked toward me
“I’m not sneaking out I’m just leaving. You have no reason to keep me here. And I know none of you”
“Well Rain, my son asked that I not let you leave. Now if you would like to come in here and have a seat with me you can tell me how you ended up here.”
I simply nodded and went and sat on the couch and explained to him the k********g and everything else that happened. He was a very good listener after that he just continued to talk and make conversation probably just to keep me there but it was nice to just be able to set and talk to someone. After a little while James came down the stairs with Rebecca who was screaming and very upset. He takes her over to Christopher but the baby still does not calm down.
“She was calm with you” James said while looking at me
“It must be a fluke she doesn’t know me” I said hoping to just be able to leave.
“Please just try” Christopher said. When he passed her over the little one nuzzled on in and was nice and quiet and relaxed. “She is only ever calm like that for Blade” Christopher said.
“I don’t know why she likes me so much she just does” I stated as James started leaving the room
“So does Blade” he said as he walked out
Christopher just looked at me and nodded his head. I’m sure it’s not true so I just walked upstairs to Blades room and put Rebecca in her bassinet and watched some tv. Sophia offered to take Rebecca but I told her that I would watch her for the night. The truth is I just felt lonely in a house of people who don’t know me. It was starting to get late and the cell phone Blade have me rings.
“Hello” I whisper
“Rain? Is everything ok?” Blade asked
“Everything is fine. The baby is just asleep” I answered hoping that he doesn’t get mad that I have her. The line goes silent for a second
“You don’t have to watch her you know” he said.
“ I like to, she is very sweet”
“Well, I was calling to let you know that my meeting was pushed until morning so I won’t be home until tomorrow afternoon”
“ oh, were you needing me to let someone know” I asked wondering why he would tell me
“ no I just wanted to let you know” he said and then the phone went silent again
“Ok well I guess that’s it” I say as I’m about to hang up he stops me. He just started talking about something random. Which led on and we talked for about anything for hours. Before I knew it Sophia was walking in my room to wake me and and we were still on the phone. I had learned so much about him in just the one night and I hated having to hang up but it was time for him to get ready for his meeting. So we said our goodbyes and I headed downstairs.
