| "What....what are they doing here? How did they find me? They're the reason I was in the hospital. Lynn, I want them out!," frantically screamed Amelia, putting Jisela down. Jisela was a little shaken at her mother's behavior and started crying. Turning to Jisela, Amelia grabbed her little hands,"Sweetie, don't cry. I'm sorry if I scared you, ok? Why don't you go and play with your toys over there?" Taking her mom's advice, she walked her little body over to the corner with her toys. "Melia, calm down ok? There has to be an explanation for them to come here," said Lynn. "Yeah there is. They found out I lived her so they could torture me some more. They disowned me, their last child. Why are they constantly interrupting my life?," she cried. "I know darling....I know. I can't give you answers for their actions, I can only try and help you figure them out," explained Lynn, pulling Amelia in to a comforting hug. Jisela excitedly cried "daddy" when she saw Justin come from downstairs. Justin grabbed her and started to give her kisses all over, when he noticed from the corner of his eye his mother consoling Amelia. "Daddy, mommy sad. She cry," said Jisela, showing Justin her mom's face. Putting Jisela down and telling her to sit and play, he came into view of the women. "What's going on? Is Amelia ok? Jislea said something's wrong? What is it?," questioned Justin. Pulling away from Lynn, she asked for Justin and her to be alone. Lynn took to the other side where Jislea was quietly playing with her toys. Amelia turned around to face Justin and he was shocked at the tearful face. "My parents are right outside my house. I see them a second time in what...almost four years. I don't know what to do. You're the only one who knows more about this than anyone because you went through it with me....." she spoke in a cracked voice. It took awhile for the information of Amelia's parents being here to register in his mind. He said the only thing he knew he could say at the moment that would help her in the end. Pulling her a little closer to him,"Face your fears. That's what you have to do. You fear them.....don't. Go out there and do what you gotta do. If you need support, I'll be peaking right out that window." "Face them....ok, I'll do it. It's a must right?," she sighed. Nodding his head, he let her go of her elbows and faced her to the door. Taking slow and hesitate steps to the door, she placed her hands on the sliver doorknob. Turning back to glance Justin, she seemed to gain more faith in her herself Opening the door, she stepped out in the sun. Amelia's family was still outside debating whether or not to leave since she had walked back in the house. No one notice her approach them. Clearing her throat loudly, everyone turned to be surprised by Amelia standing before them. "I don't know what ya'll are doing here, but I want you'll to leave my property right now. I was so distraught when I saw ya'll that day at my job that I was in a car accident and stayed in a coma for about 2 weeks. Doctor says for me to be in a calm environment and get lots of rest and I was doing just that before you decided to pop up again. Whatever possessed you to come here better possess you to leave and not return ever again. Forget you ever found me here and don't you dare butt into my business. Yes, Lynn is here. Is Justin in there now? Maybe. Whose child is that? None of you damn business. I, your last child was disowned. I don't owe you shit because I'm not a Jacobs, but I consider myself a Harless and Timbelake cause they've treated me like family. Now, like I said before, leave and don't you dare say one word to me because I don't want to hear it," demanded Amelia, all in one breath. Throughout Amelia's whole rant, Mrs. Jacobs was shocked at her daughters sudden boldness. She raised that child her whole life and Amelia was never the type of person to speak such to anyone no matter what. Swallowing her pride, she tightened her purse around her arm and opened the car door once Amelia was done. The rest had no choice but to follow her move. Amelia stayed right where she was until her parents' rental car was out of site, she closed her eyes in relief. She had never been this strong since....never. Maybe she was bold to talk to her mother at her apartment once, but this was a whole new level for her. Letting out a loud sigh, she made her way to the front door. The door opened to show a smiling Justin, which brought a smile to her face. Grabbing her into a hug,"I'm so proud of you. Where in the hell did you get all that spunk? You were never like that when we were together. It's sexy on you." "Justin! Shut up! I don't know. I guess you gave me the strength along with God," laughed Amelia, hitting Justin in the arm. "You have to get mad more often. I like it," he announced. Laughing, he closed the front door behind him with Amelia laughing at Justin's sudden interest in her spunk. Back Home Chapter 20 |
