Chapter 2: Chapter Two
It's been a few hours since Charlie left the house, I did as he said and locked all the doors and windows. Honestly, at first I was worried but I'm not really anymore, Charlie has dealt with tons of these guys before. They will do something but than back off like a coward, that's probably what's happening right now.
I had just finished cleaning from lunch, while Bobby was playing in the living room. I never used to like cleaning when I was growing up, but now I'm older it's kind of therapeutic. I hear Bobby call my name a few times but than stop, I place my dishcloth on the sink to go head into the living room to see what he wants.
As I turn around, the man from before was walking into the kitchen, holding Bobby in his arms. How in the heck did he even get in here?! And why is he holding my son?!
"How did you get in my house?" I ask taking slow steps towards the counter beside me, my phone was stood by the cups where the man probably wouldn't be able to see it.
"That is a minor detail don't you think, I came to see if Charlie was home" he smiles looking at Bobby who I could tell wanted out of his arms, I too wanted him out of this dudes arms!
"He came home and than left again, I can text him if you like" I say picking up my phone and clicking on Charlie's name, I wasn't gonna text him but ring him.
"Oh no, leave him to work I know how important that is to him" he smiles but I had already rang him, I place my phone on the counter where I knew Charlie was gonna pick up "I can wait here until he gets back, your son looks so much like his dad" he smiles once again looking down at Bobby, Charlie must be hearing this and racing home from wherever he is.
"Yeah I know, can you put him down please?" I ask moving away from my phone so he wouldn't think anything of it, he laughs shaking his head for a second.
"You know I have children of my own, I mean you must already know that because well, look at me" he smiles looking at me with a grin, oh he must think so highly of himself "but I mean look at you, no wonder Charlie snapped you up" he says looking me up at down while also taking steps towards me, I didn't mind that part much it meant Bobby was getting closer too.
He places Bobby on the ground before walking over, I pushed up against the cupboard by my throat. He looks me dead in the eye while Bobby starts to cry pulling at my leg, but I couldn't move.
"I need you to send another message to your husband, I'm getting bored and when I get bored people get hurt. And I don't wanna hurt this pretty little face" he says his other hand stroking my cheek, I fight to get out of his grip but fail which he just laughs at "I see why Charlie likes you so much, tell him I'm waiting" he says pulling me closer to him, his eyes looking deep into mine.
He roughly pushes me away where my back hits one of the clean plates, which smashes on impact, great they were new!
"I'll let myself out, I'll be seeing you very soon" he smiles before walking out the patio doors and away, I immediately pick a crying Bobby up in my arms.
I go over to my phone to see if Charlie was on the other end, when I pick it up I discover that he let it go to voicemail. The one time I need you! I throw the phone back on the counter checking if Bobby wasn't hurt, thankfully he wasn't. I run to the patio door and lock that too, I was still unsure of how that man got in or if he's gonna come back.
I decided to just get on with my night, I made dinner and put Bobby to bed. He seemed to be fine after a few minutes of crying, mostly because he doesn't understand what happened really. I was just washing up from dinner when I hear the door unlock, from the key I knew it must be Charlie. I don't turn but hear him walk into the kitchen throwing his keys down.
"I tried ringing you" I say pulling a plate out of the water, I didn't turn around yet though.
"Yeah sorry, my phone died" he says going over to the counter and plugging it in, the reason for a phone is so people can get hold of you, not something you can let die while your wife and son are being held like mini hostages.
"Your friend came back" I simply say pulling the plug to the sink, this immediately gets his attention where he stops everything "he managed to get in the house and held Bobby" I tell him watching the water drain away, I didn't know how much longer I can put up with this.
"Miya, I'm so sorry if I would have known he was gonna come back, I wouldn't have left" he says taking my hand and pulling me to look at him, his eyes soon land on my very bruised neck "he did this to you?" He asks placing his hand on my neck, but I whine in pain pulling away slightly.
"I tried ringing you Charlie" I say tears beginning to drop from my eyes, I couldn't cry in front of Bobby or he'd get scared "you said stuff like this wouldn't happen" I cry as he pulls me into him, I bury my face in his chest crying uncontrollably now.
"I know and I'm gonna sort this, he's gonna pay for ever laying a finger on you I promise" he says holding me so tightly in his arms as I cried.
It was the next morning, I didn't really sleep much last night after everything. I was worried he was gonna come back, so all I did was check all the doors and windows were locked. Charlie said I needed to get myself and Bobby ready early, I didn't know what he had planned but I wasn't in the mood to fight against him.
I was just cleaning Bobby up from his breakfast when Charlie walks in, he dumps a huge bag on the table pulling guns out of it as he went. I've told him before I didn't like guns being around the house, Bobby could pick one up and hurt himself.
"I know what you're gonna say and I don't wanna hear it, it's my job as your husband and his father to protect you guys, I've been slipping up these past few months" he says whilst making the gun make a click sound, I have no idea what he's doing if I'm being honest.
"You haven't been slipping up Charlie, as you said this dude is crazy" I say picking Bobby up off the counter, while Charlie puts the handgun in his pocket while zipping up the bag.
"And that is why things are changing around here, let's go" he says slinging the bag over his shoulder, I still hadn't a clue where he was planning on taking us.
I knew better than to question him right now, so I just grab my phone and Bobby's bag and follow him out the door. As we open the front door, a note falls out of the letter box. Charlie picks the note up before I could see what it says, he tells me to strap Bobby in while he stood by the door reading the note. I again didn't question him and did as he said, as I reach the car he starts to curse ripping the note that I never got to see up into tiny little pieces.
He locks the door before striding over to the car, thankfully, I had already strapped Bobby safely into the car as he closed the boot.
"You don't have to tell me what the note says because frankly, I don't wanna know. But was it from the dude that was at the house yesterday?" I ask coming to a stop in front of him, I was happy he did rip the note up so I wouldn't be tempted to read what it said.
He just sends me a nod before telling me to get in the car, I just sigh walking over to my side climbing in. Still unsure of where we were going, but not just with our destination.
