Chapter Thirty-Nine

Turning The Pages

Teresa walked to the window, and opened the mini blind with a middle finger.

The younger one got into a car, while the older one talked to the lady.

This was all her fault. If she’d been an actual mother to her children, Samantha would be alive today.

The police would be back, and when they do, they would arrest her. If locked up, she would never see her kids again until they were adults.

She needed money, and knew where to get it. She would call him. He would be mad, but it didn’t matter, she needed him to know the police had been here, and they had recognized him in the picture.

She needed his phone number, and recalled writing it down somewhere. Teresa closed her eyes, then remembered where she wrote it down. She went into her bedroom, finding her journal on the nightstand.

She learned to write in her journal the last time she was in rehab. Every day she wrote a daily goal first thing in the morning. Also, she would write down one thing that would make her mad that day, like using drugs again would make her mad. And one thing that would make her happy that day, like not using drugs that day would make her happy. Teresa didn’t stop there, she also wrote other notes.

I will be sober today and I will not use drugs, I am strong today and I will be strong today because I love my children, and I am a mommy every day of their lives.

She flipped through the journal and found his number written in ugly red handwriting, appeared to be an ancient script.

Teresa grabbed her cell phone and dialed the number.

It rang five times, then ten, then twenty. She hung up and decided to call it again.

“Hello?” answered the man on the other end on the fifth ring.

“Uh, hi, this is Teresa Ramirez.” She noted that her voice was higher pitched than normal.

“Ah, yes, I remember you.”

She closed her eyes, taking in a couple of deep breaths. “Uh, I wanted to tell you the cops found my daughter, and she was dead.”

“Teresa, I am sorry about what happened to your daughter, I truly am. I spoke with him about what happened and it was an accident, he loved her.”

Tears began running down her cheeks, she sniffled.

“Teresa, I am sorry my dear.”

His words sounded hallow. How could she have been so stupid to trust this man.

“I should have told you as soon as I learned about it,” he said.

She raised her shirt, and dried her face. “Cops just left.”

“What did you tell them, my dear?”

Teresa didn’t like the way he talked, he scared the shit out of her. “I swear I didn’t tell them anything! Our agreement is still good, but I uh, need some money.”

“You need more money?”

“Yes.”

He cleared his throat. “And why is that my dear?”

Teresa knew not to be a smart ass with this man, but she needed money. Although she didn’t kill Samantha, her daughter’s death was her fault.
