| A Fear In Love | ✔️ REWRITING

Chapter Fifteen

"I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you. ~ Oprah Winfrey

  "You have a collect call from, "Robert Poole" An inmate at High Desert State Prison.This call will be recorded and monitored. Would you like to accept this call?"

I was contemplating if I wanted to accept the call or not.

"Yes" I said into the phone.

I decided to hear what he has been trying to tell me for the past few weeks.

"Allison?" he spoke into the phone.

I was starting to feel the anger build up inside of me again just from hearing his voice.

I was silent.

"Allison I know you're there." he chuckled.

I didn't say a word.

"I miss you Allison."

"Why can't you leave me the hell alone." I yelled into the phone.

"Allison why are speaking to me like I did something wrong." he chuckled, "I'll be out very soon to see you again. I love you."

"Stop fucking calling me."

I hung up the phone.

I turned my head to the door to see my mother staring at me.

"Was that Rob again." she sat down on my bed.

"Why can't he just leave me alone." I started to tear up from all the anger that was building up inside of me.

"It's okay honey." she rubbed my back.

"I don't think it is mom. All I could think about is him coming back to hurt me again."

"He's not going to hurt because I'm not going to let him."

"I don't know mom. I just don't feel safe with the fact that he could get out at anytime." I looked down at my hands.

"Allison look at me."

I looked up at my mother.

"He's not going to hurt you. I will never let him hurt you again. Do you understand me?"

"Yes. But-."

"But nothing." My mother looked at me.

I didn't know how to feel. All I know is that Rob could get out at any moment and he will find me.

"What do you mean you seen Vivian again?" nick rolled up the blunt.

"I seen her at the pizza place." I grabbed the Hennessy bottle.

"What did she say." he put the blunt to his lips, "I know she doesn't want to get back with you? Does she?"
