Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 101
Dr. Manhattanberg had held me until his phone started to ring "Hey...shhhh, this is when you really need a support system and finding you here with just what looks like well, I heard a few female voices so figure they are friends. I know your parents are not here anymore, but you really should be with them letting them be parents and...." "Doc it's all good I'm a big girl and I told them I could handle my own life and to give me space, but yes having my mother and father wrapped around me instead of my doctor would be nice..." I laughed cutting him off. A few mins later there were knocks on the door and Lola speaking "Everything ok in there? Mia why are you crying?" she asked and not sounding all too thrilled. Clearing my throat, I spoke through the door "Lola, I'm fine just not feeling good and I'm thinking maybe I want to go home to my parents’ house now” I hated to admit the doctor might be right that I should be around my parents. Dr. Manhattanberg had been happy to hear that I was considering on going to my parents’ house and promised to check in with me after the New Year unless I called him first. “I am available day or night, and you will get through this and make the right decision that is best for you. Just remember the more you keep to yourself the more that they can’t truly be there for you to help you through this time that….well if you decide to keep it…you deserve to have this Mia….” he whispers as he hugs me.
Dr. Manhattanberg left a short while later after Lola had made a call home to my parents to make sure it was ok that we all come back to the house even though I knew they would want nothing more than to have me there. I called Billy from my house phone and was happy when he answered. "Hello, who is this" he asked down the line and sounded like he had been crying and in pain. "Billy it's me, why have you not answered or called me back in like 2 days...?" I asked holding my stomach. He took in a sharp breath and I knew he was about to tell me something I didn't want to hear "Look Mia, you are fantastic and I appreciate everything you are doing for me... but you need to stay far away from me ok... I am not a good guy and I've told you this before, but instead of running any time you had the chance…. NO instead you came here for me you stayed and helped me figure this out. I do not really deserve more than that since I am just as guilty at the people who killed my parents, and grandparents. Maureen thinks it is a good idea too and that maybe we should even use someone she knows and trusts to take over the case...." "Damn it Billy... my father has it in the bag and knows the system to the letter and if you stay with him you will get the help you need and I swear if me staying away is what you need to keep my dad on your defense I'll do it" I begged him trying to keep my emotions in check.
Billy got upset and angry hanging up on me which only pissed me off and he knew it would so I knew that now all I could do was go to him but wasn't sure how except doing what I did before. I was not sure of the risk it would have on the fetus and I really tried to keep that part of my head. Lola and Leona had found me in the office crying and getting sick again in the trash can next to me. "Damn it.... ok maybe leaving now is not a good idea especially if you are contagious you can't be around your little brother" Lola frowned as she and Leona helped me up. They walked me to my room and laid me down putting a cool cloth over my forehead, "I'm calling your mother" Leona was beside herself unsure on what to do as she reached for my phone on its base. "Just tell her I'm going to stay here one more night and come tomorrow...." I whispered just before getting sick again in the can that Lola had brought from my hall closet.
20 mins later I was fast asleep, and Ethan and my grandparents found me as I knew they would. "Damn it, Mia what is wrong with you.... you are blocking us from seeing what is wrong... we are blind over here" Ethan cried out in my ear. "I'm fine.... I've just got a touch of a bug and the doc came and checked me over, took some blood so relax he thinks it's just something that's going around" I hated lying, but knew they would see through the cracks soon enough. "Mia you are holding something back which isn't a good idea since if you don't let us in and check you over in our way you could be putting yourself at risk and end up here with us when we need you to stay there..." Zeus was rough in his tone as he touched my head trying to find another way in with a connection. I blocked them all so much that they started to fog up and get farther away which for the mean time was a good thing "I'M SORRY...." I cried out as even my girls had completely fogged up. I could still hear their voice's and giggles, cries but as for visibly being able to see them that was out of the question. I woke up feeling a little better and smelling something being cooked which smelled amazing but had other things I needed to do before finding my way down. Opening my eyes I focused on the clock on my night stand and saw it was just a little past 5pm. I was happy that there was no one in the room and had went to my door and locked it as I had wanted to try my hand at a protection spell or whatever it might be as I had speed read through a book I had found in Leona's place the last time I had been there. I did not see anything physically happen so did not think it had worked so just went back to my bed and did what I had to do. It took me a little longer than it had the first time since I had to picture the street and the hidden road that lead to Billy's place before I was able to transport myself to it. I knew it would be a walk since he lived a good 5 miles inwards from the road and private drive but also knew I had the body and structure of a well-oiled machine and could run quickly possibly quicker with my abilities.
Finally, after what felt like forever, I had truly been able to balance between the two spots and safely plant my feet on the solid ground just feet from the private drive. I wasn't sure if he had cameras out that far but knew the closer I got he had things that would tell him someone was on his property and prayed that he wouldn't shoot me before he saw me. I took a deep breath getting my heart settled and my body adjusted before taking off in a good speed that got me to his front door in mins without him stopping me beforehand. I was not even sure what I had done before leaving the house had worked since I had only tried a few things not sure if they would work until I was outside his door knocking on it. I could hear JJ inside scratching at the door but not in an angry way since I figured he had smelled me coming or even at the door when I approached. Billy had not come to the front door instead he had come up behind me with a gun. "Turn around slowly" he was eerily calm, and I knew he had no idea who it was. "Billy.... it's me relax ok...." I whispered slowly turning around with my hands up. He dropped the gun down to his side and looked at me as though he was frightened at what he was about ready to do. "W---h---a---t......are..... you.... doing here....I told you to leave me alone...." he was truly angry as he stood back away from me.
A second later the front door opened at my back and JJ was at my back with Maureen. "We don't need you here, it's not safe for either of you two..." she warned as though she knew something I didn't. I turned slowly and saw the look in her eyes telling me that I was right "MAUREEN I AM NOT LEAVING UNTIL ONE OF YOU TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON... I AM NOT LETTING YOUR BROTHER GO ON LIVING LIKE HE'S A CRAZY PERSON AND LOOKING LIKE A MONSTER" I yelled out. Maureen looked at me and saw the fire in my eyes and finally let her shoulders drop "FINE..... just the two of you need to get in here now..." she bitched as she looked around. We got settled in with Billy refusing to even get close to me as though I were a plague or something. He paced back and forth with his gun back in his hand and JJ by his side keeping him as calm as possible. The only thought I had in m y head for now was if I was ready to move on with my baby growing inside me or taking the step to bort whoever he/she might be. I never thought about aborting my babies not once, but when it came to this pregnancy it was a much different issue and Dr. Manhattanberg was not sure what kind of risks I would be potentially going through as it was still so early on. I couldn’t help but place protective hands over my belly as the my thoughts went to the worst case scenario.
