That Night (Chp. 5)
Lily had gotten herself stuck in situations, agreeing to live with someone she doesn't know, but now she knows she has made the right choice, she needs Mike now.
"Well if you are going to stay we have to get you some stuff, and we have to go pick up your car." he said, I smiled thinking this guy is crazy for letting me stay here.
"Yeah, um where is my car?" I asked
"At the bar still, we should go get it now, then I can take you shopping." he said standing up letting my head hit the couch.
I sat up and said "I don't have any money."
"That's okay." he said
"No, I can't make you pay for my things." I said "especially if you are going to let me live here."
"Just a few things." he said.
He let the dog out and put him in the fence, I walked out to his truck and realized his house was attached to a much bigger one. It looked kind of like a mother daughter house, but not quite, the house that his was attached to looked pretty expensive and the little apartment looked like where the maid might sleep. Mike came out and I said "So are you like the chef or something." I asked motioning toward the house.
He laughed and said "Try the son."
I looked at him, of all the things I didn't expect that one coming, I stopped smiling, now I knew why he was doing this, he felt bad for me I was some charity case to show his mother, to say well look what the dog dragged in this time. I looked at him and said "You don't have to do me any favors MIke I am a big girl I can live on my own I don't need your charity or your money or you perfect family."
He walked over to me and said, "Lily, calm down, this has nothing to do with my family, or my house, or my money."
"Do you think you can't treat me like this." I went on, and for a few minute he let me ramble about how you don't just get me for free and that I don't need his money or home.
When I was done he said "Lily, I want to do this, I want you to stay with me I want to get to know you better." he said he calmed me down and said "Okay, lets go get your car." It took 15 minutes to drive to the bar and there in the parking lot was my car, I got out and walked over to it, unlocking it, I got in when I realized there was a paper on the hood I got out and walked over to the windshield, Mike saw me do this and cut his engine, getting out to see what was wrong. I opened the letter and said.
- Lilyanna,
Your mother has had an accident, she is at the hospital about 25 minutes up the rode, the police are going to be at your house investigating. We could not get a hold of you, your phone seemed to be off, but when you get this come see your mother, or go to your house. We will see you there. - Saturday 11am -

After reading the note I closed my eyes, I knew Phil wasn't a good guy and I didn't have to see my mother or see my house to know he had done something to her. Mike walked over to me and took the note, "Oh my god." he said and as soon as he read the same thing as me I knew it was real I got in my car and took off down the road not looking back to see if Mike was following, although I could tell his engine was louder than mine, and being his car was newer it was faster.
First I headed to my house where I knew the cops would be still and I knew Jim, Janet's husband, and Carl, their son, would be. Janet would be at the hospital.
