I woke up it was about 5am. It had not been long since I took care of the baby and went back to sleep. I was awaken by hearing Serena crying and telling how much she loved Jean and needed his help. I got up and went into Mom’s room. The door between the two rooms was always kept open. I went up to Mom’s bed and shook her gently. Mom I need help. She woke up and said what is the problem? I told her I can hear Serena crying for Jean that she needs help. Mom set up and I set on the bed. She took her phone and called Carlson. She asked him where Serena was? He said she went to her mother’s. Mom said, where is that? Carlson responded, I don’t know. I didn’t ask. I just checked her out. Mom said. Thankyou and hung up. Mom said to me. He said she went to her mother’s and he doesn’t know where it is. I don’t know what we can do. I wanted to cry because she sounded like she was going to die. I said to Mom if you think of something we can do will you let me know because she sounds like she is going to die. Mom said, yes. I went to the bathroom with tears in my eyes and washed my face. Serena crying said, Jean I love you and I hope you can hear me. I looked up in the mirror and jumped. I ended up in a bathroom looking in a mirror. Serena was sitting on the toilet crying and her mom was hiding in the tub. I asked Serena are you ok. She jumped up hugged me saying think God. Did you bring Jean? I responded, No just me. Serena said, How did you get in here? I said, That’s a long story. What’s going on? Serena said, my old boy friend is out there and he is going to kill us. I looked at her mom and said. Oh I see. I understand. Let’s get you mom out of the tub? I held out my hands out and helped her mom, Sarah out of the tub. There was a pound on the bathroom door. A very angry voice came from the other side of the door. Come out of there now. If I have to come in there you are going to regret it. Sarah put her arms around me and was hanging on for dear life. I put my left arm around her. I could smell the man on the other side of the door. I said, Oh my. I don’t think he has had a bath for weeks. Serena said, I think he has been out there in the bushes for days waiting for me. I reached my right arm out and said to Serena, give me a big hug. She looked confused but put her arms around me. I jumped and was back in my bathroom. Serena look at my bathroom. She let go of me and looked all around the bathroom. I said to her please don’t tell anyone how you got here, my life depends on it. Just tell them you don’t know. Don’t even tell Jean. Please, me staying alive depends on it. Serena said, don’t worry I will never say anything. Her mom who had now let go of me said the same. I took Serena’s hand put it in her mom’s hand. I took Serena’s other hand and said, when we go out be very very quiet. Don’t say a word. I quietly opened the door. We slipped quietly with out waking the kids or Cindy and went into Mom’s room. Mom was sitting in her bed. Her eyes got really big and you can tell she was thinking where did they come from. I said to Mom, here is Serena and her mom Sarah. They were in great danger and so I brought her to you. Mom said to Serena, what was happening. Serena said, there was this guy that I went with for a couple of days 5 or so years ago. He has gone crazy and wants me to marry him or die. He was going to kill me and my mom. Mom got out of bed and hugged her and said, don’t worry you are safe with us. Then mom hugged me and said, you did good. She went to talk to Cindy. She told Cindy she might not be needed except very little for 3 weeks. She said, You and Amy can do what you want and I will let you know if we need you. Cindy said thank you and went to her room. I called Daniela and said, I can’t go running today and will see her at breakfast. Mom showed Serena and Sarah the two beds in my room. She told them they would be sleeping there and helping with the kids until Jean got back. They thought that would be great. Serena played with Hunter the other day and I knew Hunter liked her.
I opened my closet and asked Serena if she could wear anything? She picked out something. I told her she would be first to take a shower and get ready for breakfast. We found something for her mom so she was next in the bathroom. Serena hugged and said I don’t know how I am going to repay you. I said, just don’t tell anyone. Besides we are sisters now. I hugged her again. We got ready and Serena, Sarah, Mom, me and the kids went to breakfast. Cindy and Amy were there. I asked Cindy and Amy if one of them could come out while I have class and help Sarah with the kids. Also decide if one of them needs to come out during class every day. I told them I was sure we wouldn’t need them at night. Mom said to Serena that we were going out by the pool after breakfast and Carlson was going to talk to her about the old boyfriend so he can keep an eye out for him. Serena said that’s fine. We had a great breakfast. Sarah was so hungry. It must have been a while since she ate. She said the food was so good. We all moved to the pool area after breakfast. When time came for class Daniela showed up. Serena, Daniela and I went to class. After class Cindy said, one them would come out to help with the kids during class and swimming until Sarah felt we were not needed. I thanked them and told them they were wonderful.
Carlson came out and talked to Serena getting a name and description of the man. Carlson stood at the table and looked at me. I was waiting for the question how did they get here. Carlson said to Serena he was ready to take her to Jean’s place. Carlson took Serena over to Sean’s to get somethings. She told Carlson she was going to stay with me while Jean was gone because she didn’t want to be alone. We went swimming. We just had to get clothes for Sarah Serena’s mom. Mom took care of that. They brought us a great lunch. We went swimming a lot and had a great dinner. We went back to our room next to mom’s and we all slept good.
