said, and the tears started to flow.
“We should call the cops or something,” Sam said.
“And tell them someone stole all my scrubs?” I said with a laugh through my tears. They would think I was crazy.
Sam put her arm around me and squeezed me, trying to console me.
“We’ll figure it out,” Sam said.
“I guess I can just wash these and wear them over and over until I can get more,” I said, as I pointed to my outfit. Sam was too tiny, so I knew borrowing hers wasn’t an option. My boobs would burst through the tops.
“Actually, Lainey still has all hers and she’s not using them. I’ll call her and get them for you,” Sam said, as she nodded her head.
“That would be great,” I said, feeling relieved about the clothes situation, but scared to death about Jake coming back.
“Yeah, it’s no problem, bro. Ok, bye,” Moon said as he walked into the living room, and slid his phone back in his pocket.
“Kash wants you to stay with us tonight,” Moon said with a grin.
“What?” I said.
“I called him on the way over. He lives here, too, and I wasn’t sure what all was going on so I wanted to give him the heads up,” Sam said.
“I can’t stay the night with y’all,” I said, shaking my head. I didn’t want to be more of a burden than I already was.
“Yes you can, and you are,” Sam said as she stood up. “Now, pack a bag while I clean the glass up, so we can get out of here.”
“Thank you,” I said to Moon and Sam.
“It’s no big deal,” Moon said, as he started checking the windows.
I walked into my room to pack an overnight bag when my phone went off. God, I didn’t even want to look. I didn’t have the energy to fight with Jake.
But it was Kash. Relief washed over my body as I hit the little green button.
“Hello.”
“Are you ok?” Kash said, sounding nervous.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” I said, my voice still shaking.
“You don’t sound fine,” he said.
“I am, I promise, Sam’s here,” I said.
“You’re staying the night with them right?” he asked, sounding genuinely concerned.
“Yeah.”
“Ok, I gotta get back to work. I just wanted to check on you,” he said.
“Thanks, Kash.”
“I’ll talk to you soon, ok?” he said sweetly.
“Ok, bye.”
“Bye, sweetie,” he said, and my heart did a little flip.
I loved that he called me sweetie. It was nice to be called something other than bitch or whore. I knew Sam and Moon were waiting on me, so I got some stuff together pretty quickly and headed back into the living room.
The next morning I was leaving for work a little early. The scrubs Lainey dropped off at Sam’s last night fit well, so I was relieved. Moon had left the same time Sam did to go fishing with Jase, so I was alone in the house. I decided to go grab some breakfast on my way to work. I ate in the parking lot, just listening to music. I hadn’t run in a few days, and I missed it, but music always soothed me. As I listened to Lee Brice singing about eating more drive thru chicken, I noticed Jake’s car pass in my rearview mirror. I got pissed off, and lost my appetite. I was so sick of his stalking, and being a jerk. So I wadded up the fast food bag, and opened my car door. I got my purse and lunch, then stepped out. I looked back and noticed he had circled around and was driving by again. Slowly.
I wasn’t going to be scared of him anymore. I wouldn’t allow it. I had a long talk with Sam last night, and she showed me that I wasn’t alone anymore. I had friends that I could consider family, and they would be there for me. It was a good talk. We laughed, I cried, and then I actually felt a little better about my life.
So, I turned around and stared him down. Why the hell wasn’t he at work? He drove slowly, but I wasn’t budging. I wasn’t going to let him scare me. So I did the boldest thing I have ever done in my life. I was shaking on the inside, but wouldn’t let it show on the outside.
