Returning to You

Jessica’s POV

I near enough screamed in frustration as I had to close yet another cupboard door. It had been happening for a while now, I would find things missing or not how I left them like I got the mail yesterday and put it on the counter, I went to feed Braden then when I came down the mail was gone, no one could have moved it I mean Braden and I were the only one’s here then I find it in the bread bin; it’s like I’m going mad.
I know I’m not though because I just don’t do things like that; last week I filled the car up then the next day I went to drive it and it said empty. It’s driving me mad trying to figure out where everything is going and I’m really worried, someone is moving things around and I don’t understand how I mean how would they get in the house?
I sighed as I pushed off the counter and made my way to the phone, I had to speak to someone about it.
“Hannah?”
“oh hey Honey how are you doing?” Hannah asked after she picked up and I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair
“Hannah something weird is going on”
“really what?” she asked concerned
“stuff keeps moving around the house without me doing it”
“you have a ghost?” Hannah asked with an excited edge. I chuckled then huffed
“I wish, no I think someone is coming in and moving things” there was silence for a moment until Hannah asked
“well does anyone have a key to your house?” I shook my head and answered
“no one apart from Brian’s parents next door, they have since the incident with the carpenter” Hannah growled lowly as she remembered me telling her about it. She then sighed and said
“then I’m sorry honey but I don’t know, ask Brian” I sighed
“yeah I will, see you soon”
“bye Jess”
I hung up then groaned as I wondered what in the hell was going on again.
My ears peered hearing the front door open and close and I cautiously looked around the door to see who it was and let out a sigh of relief seeing it was Brain standing there putting his coat on a hook.
I came out and smiled at him when he turned to face me. He grinned in return and swept me into a kiss which I willingly reciprocated.
When he pulled away he smoothed back my hair and said concerned
“babe what’s the matter? You look off” I groaned as I buried my head in his chest
“Brain weird things keep happening” Brian looked down at me questioningly and concerned
“what do you mean?” I sighed again as I turned and pulled him into the living room where I sat him on the couch and proceeded to tell him about all the stuff that’s been happening.
When I finished Brain bit his lip before saying cautiously
“maybe you’re just tired and doing it without thinking” I scowled and went to reply but the phone rang. I glared at him before getting up and going to answer it.
“Hello?”
“Jess” a crying Val said and I immediately went from pissed to concerned
“Val, what’s the matter?” I asked as I made my way back into the living room to sit down
“it’s Michelle”
“what’s wrong with Michelle?” Brian looked over at the sound of her name
“she didn’t show up for an evaluation” I frowned
“but surely a nurse can find her?”
“that’s the thing, she got out a week ago but no one told me until she didn’t show up for this evaluation” Val sobbed. I gasped and Brain immediate took my hand
“what do you mean she got out? Like she’s not in the hospital anymore?”
“No she was allowed to leave; they thought she had made enough progress” I bit my lip hard
“so they don’t know where she is?”
“no, I don’t know either and I’m worried, can you keep an eye out, she might try to find Brian”
“yeah sure”
“thanks”
“ok” I then hung up.
I turned to Brian who was looking worried
“what is it?” he asked
“Michelle is out of the hospital” Brian’s mouth fell open
“what?” I nodded
“yeah apparently for good behaviour” Brain shook his head
“how in the hell?!” I shook my head
“I don’t know” we then just sat there in stunned silence.
