Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 47
My heart was breaking like I was going to die "Mia... calm down you are both going to be ok and get through this… you just aren't ready to tell her who you are and that's ok.. but we want you to be with someone you don't have to hide from, and you do a lot of that from even your family and friends. You have to let someone in...." "GOD DAMN IT....I DID LET HER IN FARTHER THAN ANYONE I EVER HAVE...." I screamed and as said the words I realized I had screamed it out loud and not in my head. Bailey just looked at me without a single word no expression no nothing and for a min I thought maybe he was deaf or just really good at letting me have my mental break-down. "Bailey..... did I really just scream that all out...." I didn't bother waiting for his response "of course you did.... fucking shit son of a bitch..... I'm fucking a mental case...." I couldn’t help the crying letting the hot tears run down my face as I stood at the door and watched as Paxton and Lexi took them to the air strip to go home.
Every part of my being wanted to run after them and I just about did as I stepped out onto the porch and followed towards the gate, but they didn't break and I didn't say anything out loud. "She's hurt, you are hurt.... as for being a mental case... you are far from it and I have done some reading about you and your family and not in the normal sense but the watching and learning and figuring things out a little on my own. I have seen you have these moments and it's almost like you are fighting with yourself. I also have heard you talking to your brother but to be honest at first I thought you had been talking to your father a couple of those times. However, the more I got to know your parents I know that whatever gift you have you get from your mothers side. I grew up knowing that there were things, people out there that had special abilities thanks to my grandmother who was and still is a herbalist/healer if you will and even though she might not have things you do, she has abilities that make her the best medicine herbalist. She's a private one who is only called upon by the ones who ever get so lucky to meet someone who has met her, or a relative or even in medical facilities that use her when they need someone outside the realm of normal medicine" Bailey was now letting me into his life just a fraction as he stood with me outside and behind me.
Sharene had already been gone 15 mins and I was still out on the driveway looking in the direction she left in and figured if I waited a min or two longer she'd be back but when my father called Bailey when I didn't answer to let us know that they were taking off I knew that she had got to the plane and was not coming back. "I'll let her know sir, yes she.... she will be fine and I will let her know you will call when you all arrive back home, have a good flight sir and see you for the holidays" he hanging up finally even though I could still hear my fathers’ authoritative tone. I turned to face him with tear stained cheeks and headed back inside and finding it too painful to even keep my eyes open without wanting to cry as I saw Madeline's things in the kitchen and going to my room where I found her blanket on my bed along with a night shirt of Sharene's in my drawer. I put the blanket in the drawer with the shirt not sure if she had done it on purpose or left them to torment me which if so was doing its job of making me feel worse than I ever thought I could. I was not alone as I had wished for and did my best to get my studies done keeping myself locked away in the house for the weekend I knew that was the only way to get over all my issues running around in my head and heart.
As the weekend started to come to an end I hardly slept over the weekend and ignored the calls forwarding them to Bailey, Lola, Paxton or Lexi asking them to take messages and leave them on the counter for me. Leona had tried to stop by when I refused to return her calls and when Monday morning came, I packed up my bag with all its books, laptop, and papers for Mondays' classes. I did not bother to eat what was made for me but downed my smoothie so that no one would make a fuss. I was miserable throughout the week and did what I needed to do to get back on track with school and after my surprised tests that landed me with low 90s my professors checked in on me. I had promised it was just a bad week and my family had just left which they understood but warned me since they knew I was better than that and I appreciated their harshness because I knew I was better than that. I left my last class on Friday with our professors letting us get a head start on the weekend since they already told us that the next few weeks before the holiday break we would be working our asses off and that they would know who would make it through their classes and who should not bother coming back after the break to their class. I had did my best to stay social with my little group of friends, but they could see that there were other things on my mind. "I'm sorry everyone I think I'm just going to head home and get some much needed rest in, plus I need to look for a new place now that someone violated my space and I'm just not happy there anymore. I'll call you all later and maybe we can grab a bite out or something" I looked from Kelly to Logan who had followed me a little way. "Alright well let us know and if you need anything just call ok..." Kelly smiled and gave me the biggest longest hug ever. Logan just smiled not wanting to invade my bubble. "Yes, and I'm sure you'll find a place a no time...." he smiled with a wink as though he knew of a place or was just wishing me luck in his own way.
After only 15-20 mins of being home there was a buzzing at my gate and I was seriously not in the mood for whoever it might be. "Who is it already I can't stand the buzzing...." I yelled out from my bedroom. "Ma'am it's DC Valdez and she is not looking all to happy" Paxton looked to be worried as he walked to the doorway of my room. I tossed my books to the side and got up and headed to the speaker box to see what she wanted. "Yes DC Valdez, is there something I can help you with as you....." "Fucking let me in Mia.... you have ignored my calls and I'm too damn old for these games, I'm worried about you and if I can just make sure you are alright for myself I'll leave" she was furious as she cut me off. I buzzed her through and stepped out on my front porch not wanting to make it a social stop since all she wanted was to make sure I was fine for herself which I was sure she would be calling my parents to let them know. After pulling in she got out of her little sports Mercedes and rushed up the walkway catching me up in her arms and carrying me inside and straight to my bedroom slamming the door. "You are a very smart young woman..... you are ignoring everyone's calls and your parents are worried and have been trying to reach you for days with you just forwarding them to your team. I promised I'd check on you physically and your mother asked me to personally get you out of this house and your father has asked me to help you find a place.... which the only place I think is even right for you is at my house that is safer than anywhere else in the country, close to school... and it means you have your own gym to work out of and we can work on training and if you really want to learn to shoot and get your permits than that means we need to get started" she was far more intense than I’d seen her before and holding my face in her hands.
