You're Not Like the Others
Ch.10
I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. I groaned and shut it off
"Mommy?"
Why is she up at 7? I thought and looked towards my bedroom door
"What is it sweetie?"
She then came up to my bed and I saw tears in her eyes. I got worried immediantly
"What's wrong baby?" I asked sitting up and wiped a tear off her cheek
"I went potty in bed" she mumbled
"It's alright, accidents happen" I said and hugged her
She hasn't done that for a while, why start now? I thought confused
"Lets go get you and your bed cleaned up"
I got up and we went to her room. I stripped the bed and put the bedsheets in the laundry basket and then I got Abby some clean clothes and we headed to the bathroom. I washed her hair, gave her a bath, and let her play in the water while I put my make-up on. When she was done I dried her and got her dressed. I then took the bedsheets and her clothes an put them into the washer so they could be cleaned.
"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked Abby while looking at the clock '9:53'
"Pancakes" Abby said with a smile
"Pancakes it is"
she then went to the living room to watch something on Disney Junior while I made the pancakes. When I was done I caled for Abby and she came into the kitchen and we ate. When we were done I went up to my room and got changed. I then went downstairs and almost ran into Abby
"Mommy!"
"What sweetie?"
"We need to get a costume, it's halloween" she said with her most serious face
"I know, we'll get one as soon as we get done with what we have to do" I said smiling and
chuckling alittle
"YAY!" she said and went back to the living room
Crazy kid I thought while shaking my head
Then my phone went off and I answered it
"Hello?"
"Hey Kayla, how are you?"
"I'm good Zak, how's Jersey treating you?" I asked smirking
"It's alittle bit warmer, but not by much"
"Are you sure you're going to be able to do your investigation?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I'm just wondering, you were complaining that it was cold lastnight"
"It was" he said with his voice going up an octave
I laughed
"I had to get a new hotel room because the heater was broke"
"Really, what hotel are you staying at?"
"Holiday Inn"
"That sucks"
"And you know what?"
"Hmm?"
"I would've been much warmer if I packed the right stuff"
"Didn't you do your weather resaerch before going?" I asked confused
"No not really"
I sighed dramatically
"What are we gonna do with you"
"I don't know...Kayla I've got a question for you"
"What's that?"
"Well... I was wondering..."
"Hmm?"
"There's this thing going on at the Nokia Theater in L.A..."
"What kind of thing?"
"The People's Choice Awards..." he said uneasily
There nominated? I thought
"Ok?"
"And I was wondering if you would like to go" he said in a matter-of-factly tone
My breath hitched
He wants me to go to an award show...with him? I thought
"I understand if you don-"
"I'd love to go" I said smiling
"That's great, the award show is in a few months"
"What are you guys nominated for?"
"Best Paranormal T.V series"
Should've known I thought
"We're up against Paranormal State and Ghost Hunters" he said and had a little attitude when he said 'Ghost Hunters'
"It sounds like you doin't like them very much"
"Who?"
"The Ghost Hunters"
"I don't, they said that we got our information wrong at one location, we've investigated there many times...So we know that our information's right"
"Wow, I wonder why there taking stabs at other shows?"
I then heard Nick in the background saying something, but I couldn't make it out
"They probably want more viewers for there show, anyway I've got to go Kayla, we've got to shoot some scenes"
"Alright, I'll talk to you later"
"Alright, bye"
"Bye"
we then hung up. I then went into the livingroom
"Ready to go Abby?"
she nodded, I turned the T.V off and we headed out the door. We started towards Zak's house to feed Gracie and let her out. When I arrived at his house I ran in quickly to do the stuff and then I headd to the courthouse. We arrived there at 1:46
"Come on Abby, Now Abby, you've got to tell this person what grandma and grandpa did to you, this person is here to help" I said while getting her out of her carseat
We entered the building and went to the room that we were supposed to go into.
"Mommy, I'm scared" Abby said while holding my leg
"It's alright, you see that lady right there?" I asked pointing to a platinum blonde judge
"Yeah"
"She's here to help you"
she then came up to us
"Hello, I'm Judge Tammy Daniels, I'll be working the case"
"Hi, I'm Kayla and this is Abby" I said putting my hand on Abby's head
"It's nice to meet you two...Abby would you lie to go in the back and tell me what happened?"
Abby shook her head
"Your mom can come with you"
we then heard
"Well if it isn't my slutty daughter"
"Excuse me ma'am, but this is my court room and I do not allow anything degrading in here...So I'm going to ask you to watch your comments" Tammy said
"Why? It's not my fault she's slept with 20 different guys in a month"
Tammy then motioned for an officer and the officer went towards her
"Ma'am, lets go"
"No"
"Judge Daniels, she's intoxicated"
"In that case arrest her, I don't allow intoxicated people in my court room either"
he then grabbed my mom and put handcuffs on her.
"Let's go to the back and get this settled"
Me and Abby followed Tammy to a meeting room and then sat down.
"So Abby, can you tell me what happend when you went to your grandma and grandpa's?"
Abby looked at me and I nodded at her and then she told Tammy the story.
"And you took her to the hospital and they said what?"
"They said that there was minor penetration and an investigation has started"
"Well, I can already tell you that I'm on your side 100% after what I saw earlier...and I'll try to do
what I can to convict her and..."
she looked at the document
"Selvester" I said
"Thank you, your mother and step-father wil be covicted of their crime, I hate that kind of stuff"
"Well since their arrested for intoxication, I'm guessing the court date has been changed"
"Yeah, we're rescheduling for December 2...So Abby what are you doing for Halloween?" Tammy asked since she scensed Abby's uneasiness
"Going trick-or-treating"
"Really, what are you dressing up as?"
"A princess"
"Really? My dauhgter and her friends are dressing up as princesses too"
"Really?"
Tammy smiled and nodded
"My daughter's going to be Sleeping Beauty"
We talked a few more minutes and then left and went to a costume store. When we got there we went to the kids section
"I'm guessing you want to be a princess?"
she nodded
We began searching for a costume. About 25 minutes of searching I found a pretty princess dress
"Abby look" I said and held it up
"You can be 'Princess Abby' what do you think?"
"YAY!"
we then bought a tiara and some shoes and then headed home. When we got home my neighbor was outside with her 5 grandkids, 3 girls and 2 boys. She was one of those neighbor's that told you if you had company come by when you were gone or to make sure that you were ok if something bad happend. She was in her 60s, but looked like she's in her mid-40s, her hair was changing to white, and she was alittle over weight
"Hi Kayla"
"Hi Gloria, how are you?" I asked while getting Abby and her things out of the car
"I'm doing good...your mother came by earlier"
"What she do?"
Gloria knew I didn't like my mother and she didn't blame me for not liking her
"She was screaming profanities and banging on your door to let her in, she sounded like she was drunk"
"Oh she was, we had court today because of her and it got rescheduled because she showed up drunk and she was being defiant with the judge"
"Well, I hope everything works out for you... and the kids were wondering if Abby would like to go trick-or-treating with us?"
"Would you like to go with them Abby?" I asked looking down at her
"Can I?"
"If you want"
"I'll go" she said excitedly
me and Gloria laughed
"And after that we'll go to McDonald's and get something to eat and then head back"
"Can I spend the night too?"
"That up to your mother"
"It's fine with me as long as you behave Abby"
"I will"
"Alright, I'll see you at 7" Gloria said and then went back to her grandkids
Me and Abby went inside and I made her a sandwhich before it was time for her to go. When she was done she turned the T.V on and switched it to some other channel while I put her princess dress on her. I then went and got my curling iron and bobby pins and started on hair. I heard something familiar on T.V
"In 5 minutes we will be LIVE at this abandoned insane asylum..."
"DADDY!"
I looked up at the T.V and saw Zak, Nick, and Aaron. Nick started talking
Oh! they're going to freeze to death I thought
then Aaron started talking
"Alright, all done"
then it went to a commercial. I took out my phone
"Abby stand over there so mommy can take your picture"
she then went to the front door and smiled. I took the picture
She's so cute I thought
"Can I see" she asked coming up to me
I handed her the phone and then looked at the T.V
"It's time for our LIVE lockdown, this place housed the mentally insane..."
he then took out his iPhone and I saw him smile
"Abby...Did you just send something to daddy?" I asked looking at her
"No" she said and smiled innocently at me
"Abby sweetie, he's working right now"
I heard Aaron talking
"Daddy text you" she said handing me my phone
then there was a knock on the door and I answered it
"Hey Gloria"
"Hey Kayla, is Abby ready?"
"Yeah, she's right here"
I then hugged Abby
"Now be a good girl Abby and do what Gloria say ok?"
"Ok, bye mommy"
"Bye sweetie"
I then kissed her forehead and watched her go down the sidewalk and I then shut the door. I opened the text Zak sent
She looks like a little princess-Z
I'm so sorry, she wanted 2 c the picture & I guess she sent it 2 u when I wasn't looking, I'll let u get back 2 ur lockdown :)-
a few seconds later he text again
Alright I'll b back 2morrow afternoon 2 spend the day with the 2 of u :)-Z
My heart fluttered at that
I can't believe it, I think he loves me I thought smiling
I then went into the kitchen and made some popcorn. When it was done I went back to the living room and watched the live event with a smile still plastered on my face. Around 11 my eyes started feeling heavy and I grabbed a blanket and layed on the couch and soon after I was out.
"Mommy?"
Why is she up at 7? I thought and looked towards my bedroom door
"What is it sweetie?"
She then came up to my bed and I saw tears in her eyes. I got worried immediantly
