the day I left. The lawn is perfectly mowed.
The flowers look beautiful and watered. When we enter my apartment it is clean
and dusted. My mail from the last 4-5 weeks is sitting on my kitchen table,
along with a fresh vase of flowers.
“Someone has been here?” I ask
Adam, I don’t know why I assume he will know
“Your mother and Alexis. They have
been coming every day for the last week since we got the money sent over to Red
and knew that you would be released. They should be here soon. I texted your
friend about an hour ago that we were on the way.”
My mom?
Right away there is a knock on the
front door. I open it to see my mom, with Alexis behind her. My mother begins
sobbing right away “Oh my God, my beautiful baby. You’re okay.”
“Mommy.” I cry, hugging her. She
rubs my back, my hair holding me tightly. I can feel her hot tears on my cheek
as she refuses to let go. Which okay because I don’t ever want her to let me go
again. “Oh baby I am so glad you are okay.” She murmurs into my hair.
We finally part. She tucks my hair
behind my ear and begins gently patting my face and shoulders, looking me up
and down to make sure that I am okay and whole.
After the way everything ended with
Jaxon and ultimately me moving out, my mother is the last person I expect to give
me a homecoming. But to be perfectly honest I have never loved her or needed
her more in my entire life than I do right now.
She steps away, and I notice my
best friend crying. I open my arms and she runs into them. “You stupid bitch,
how could you go and get kidnapped. I have been so worried about you. Dean
couldn’t tell us anything, Ryan told me they were working on finding you. Dean
was a wreck when I saw him a few weeks ago. He looked like he hadn’t eaten or
slept in days. I am so glad he found you and brought you home to us. Jaxon and
Josslyn have been freaking out too. Joss refused to go to daycare. She won’t
listen to anything Jaxon says until her auntie comes back. We have all missed
you so much baby.”
“I missed you too Lex, so much.”
Adam announces that he has to get
going. He leaves the envelope that Dean gave him behind. He tells me to look at
it when I am ready, but asks me not to just throw it away. He smiles when he
says this, like he knows me well enough already to know that I was planning on
doing just that.
I thank him for everything he has
done. My mom thanks him, Alexis hugs him. He laughs.
Mom fusses. A lot. She doesn’t let
me do much. They know I am pregnant. I assume Adam told them. Mom cleans and
cooks. Alexis paints my toes and does my hair. She makes a lot of ‘tsking’
noises in disapproval over the status of my hair. Which makes me laugh. It
feels nice to be back in a world where that is my biggest issue.
I get rid of the couch the day
after I get home. Too many memories. I post it on a second hand website. A
private buyer pays for it, a mover comes in and takes it away. Hands me the
money and that is that.
I order a new one. One that allows
me to put my feet up the way you can in a recliner.
Jaxon brings Joss buy a few days
later. He called me the night that I got back. He was crying. I have never in
my life heard my brother cry. When he came over, he cried again. And then I
sobbed as I held my niece in my arms while she cried and clung to my neck. No
one could get her to let me go. After a while they stopped trying. She slept in
my arms after hours of asking me all about my adventure. Of course Jaxon didn’t
tell her I was kidnapped. We made up a story that I went to climb mountains
near Disney World. She was two, she just wanted to hear about Snow White.
When Jaxon, Joss and mom left at
the end of the day Alexis stayed. In fact she pretty much moved in with me. She
went with me to a doctor’s appointment a week after I returned. Despite all the
stress the baby was perfect. I was about 10 weeks, and I got to see what my
baby looked like.
