Give Me A Sign
Fourteen
After my little talk with Nyssa I was planning out my master scheme to help her and Jack out. I seriously hope she’s doing this for herself. At least her talk helped me take my mind off taking Alex to meet my uptight parents.
Alex and I were in the bathroom, drying off after our shower. I needed to just have alone time with him while we were getting ready for today and showering always helped clear my head and with him there I got to spend time with him too.
“So I only brought in my boxers and an undershirt. What should I wear to meet your parents,” he asked.
“A nice shirt and skinny jeans that are still intact would work out just fine. I want to impress them while we’re still comfortable and casual,” I answered as I slipped on my strapless bra.
“What color are you wearing so I can try to match it or compliment it,” he asked.
“My dress is white. I think light blue or white would work,” I told him.
“Okay so my GK button up will work then,” he replied before he kissed my neck by one of the many hickeys I had on my neck.
“I’m covering these so that way I won’t look like a tramp in front of my parents. They are very old school and up tight. And say nothing about our anxiety issues. They hate talking about me being ‘crazy’, in their opinion. My dad is just as messed up as me,” I told him as I applied cover up to my hickeys.
“Just don’t strain yourself today, okay. We don’t want to fall off our high today,” he kissed my cheek before I slipped on my dress. Alex helped me zip it up and put my pearl necklace on for me.
Once we finished getting ready, Alex and I waited in the front lounge as the bus made its approach to the venue for tonight’s show. Hopefully lunch with my parents won’t throw Alex off tonight. Plus I needed to plan out everything to help out Nyssa. I hope that Jaime or Tony were willing to follow through on my plan when I come up with it.
“Bonnie, are you ready to head out to meet with your parents,” Alex asked when we finally got off the damn bus.
“Bonnie, is that you,” I heard the familiar voice of the woman that stopped caring about me when I was 12. This is going to be an interesting day to be sure.
“Hey Mom,” I greeted her awkwardly. She closed the distance between us and pulled me into a hug, which threw me off completely.
“You look fantastic, sweetheart. I love what you’ve done with your hair,” she gushed over me.
“Mom, this is Alex. Alex this is my mom, Bianca,” I gestured to Alex and my mom to introduce them.
“It’s so nice to meet you, Alex,” my mom smiled kindly to him, which was something I wasn’t expecting either.
“Bonnie,” my dad greeted me, pulling me into a hug like my mom had. I missed him the most since we were very close before he and my mom ignored me.
“Hi Daddy,” I greeted him, “This is my boyfriend, Alex. Alex this is my dad, James.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you sir,” Alex greeted my father, shaking his hand as well.
“I certainly hope you’ve been good to my princess,” my dad joked with Alex.
“I have been nothing but good to her,” Alex replied as he wrapped an arm around my waist with a nice smile. I think he’s going to try to charm my parents into adoring him.
♪Alex♪
Bonnie’s parents were being really nice to us. Which is weird since Bonnie told me they ignored her when she was diagnosed with her anxiety. I certainly hope they won’t change when we get to the restaurant.
“Hi Bonnie,” I heard another male voice. I looked up and I saw a guy that looked nothing like her parents. He must be her ex. I tightened my grip on Bonnie, to let her know I got and nothing was going to happen.
“Jason, what a pleasant surprise,” Mrs. Howell greeted Bonnie’s ex. He must have met her parents when they were dating.
“Hi Mrs. Howell, I wasn’t expecting to run into you here in Chicago of all places,” he said in a pleasant tone. He was a slick bastard. He must have tracked Bonnie’s phone somehow to know we were here.
“Jason, I want you to meet Bonnie’s boyfriend, Alex,” she gestured to me and I had to remove my glare so her mom wouldn’t know that there was something wrong with all of this.
“It’s nice to meet you, Alex. I hope you’ve been nice to Bonnie. I’d hate for her to get her heart broken,” he commented. I wanted to punch him in his smug face. He fucked with Bonnie and I wasn’t too happy about hearing about it and seeing him after being filled in on his track record.
“I don’t plan on hurting Bonnie,” I replied.
“Well let’s get going now shall we. We are all having lunch together now,” Bonnie’s dad led us to his car and we all got in. I sat in the middle with Jason on my right and Bonnie on my left. I noticed that she was feeling nervous and was tracing my rose tattoo.
While we were waiting for our food to arrive at our table, I noticed that Jason was sending looks to Bonnie, making her uncomfortable. She started to rub her arm that hid her still bandaged cuts. I took hold of her hand from under the table and gave her a reassuring squeeze. I wasn’t going to let this prick mess with her now when she and I have been doing so well with our anxiety.
♪Bonnie♪
I could not stand having Jason here with my parents and Alex. Today was supposed to be about impressing my parents with how amazing Alex is and how well I’m doing with my issues. But my monsters that had formed from Jason’s mind games with me were starting to fight with me and I was trying really hard to hold myself together. I didn’t want to scare my parents or Alex and I didn’t want to give Jason the satisfaction that he was getting to me.
“Um, I need to use the restroom. I’ll be right back,” I rose and kissed Alex on the cheek before b-lining for the ladies’ room.
Once I was inside I leaned over the sink and stared at myself in the room. I looked into my eyes and I saw the monsters in their reflection. I was going to lose my mind with Jason being around me.
I heard someone open the door and then I heard it lock. I looked in the mirror and saw Jason. This is not good.
“Get out of here. This is the women’s restroom you moron,” I snapped at him.
“Shut up, bitch,” he slapped me, throwing off my balance.
“How did you find me,” I asked him.
“I tracked your phone. You forget that I have friends that are cops. I wanted to surprise you and drag you home where you belong. Which is with me,” he said menacingly.
“I belong with Alex. He’s my boyfriend. We are over Jason. We’ve been over for two months. Now back off before I scream. Alex will bust down that door for me,” I yelled at him.
“Not if he can’t hear your screams,” he smirked and pushed me against the wall, slamming his lips against mine. His breath tasted heavily of booze. He had to be completely wasted.
I slammed my knee into his crotch, nailing his balls and made a run for the door. He caught me and slammed me to the ground. I crawled to my phone and I sent a text as fast as I could to Alex. I needed him right now. Jason was insane and I was terrified.
♪Alex♪
I was talking with Bonnie’s parents, talking about growing up in Essex before I moved to Baltimore. My phone went off, letting me know I had a text. I opened it and I was thrown off but what it said.
Save me. Jason has me in the bathroom. He locked me in. –Bonnie <3
“Is everything alright, Alex,” Bonnie’s mom asked.
“No, Jason’s with Bonnie in the restroom. He’s locked her in,” I told them.
“Come on Alex, we’re getting her out,” Bonnie’s dad rose and we went to the restrooms, stopping to get the manager while we were at.
When he unlocked the door, I found Jason on top of Bonnie. My anger got the better of me and I pulled him off her. I found Bonnie broken on the floor. She was crying and I saw her panties were around her ankles. I pulled them up for her and scooped her up into my arms. I turned around with Bonnie in my arms to find her dad beating the shit out of Jason.
“How dare you rape my daughter, you disgusting slime bag,” Mr. Howell growled at Jason.
“Bonnie,” Mrs. Howell gasped in shock at seeing Bonnie in such a mess in my arms.
“We need to take her to hospital. That sick monster raped her. Mr. Howell, we need to get the police here to arrest him. You’ve done enough,” I told him, remaining completely calm.
After the show, I found Bonnie’s parents by the bus. Bonnie was asleep in her father’s arms. I looked at them with complete sympathy. I should have gone after that bastard when he left after she had. I could have protected her.
“Bonnie’s asleep now, she insisted to be brought back to you. I don’t want to separate the two of you. Here are the meds they gave her to help her heal from this. Please take good care of her Alex,” Mrs. Howell handed me a pill bottle before Mr. Howell passed Bonnie to me.
“Thank you for looking after her while I played the show,” I thanked them.
“James stayed with Bonnie. I saw the show. You are very good, Alex. Though the immature jokes were a setback, but I know you’ll support Bonnie through everything,” Mrs. Howell told me.
“Thanks. Maybe we can try to have a better lunch next time we decide to meet up,” I told them.
“Maybe we’ll have the boys come home for a visit when you bring Bonnie to New Baltimore so you can meet her brothers,” Mr. Howell replied.
I said goodbye to Bonnie’s parents and took Bonnie inside the bus. Jack and Nyssa were sitting together in the front lounge. I never told them about what happened to Bonnie since I didn’t want to worry them before the show.
“Bonnie,” Nyssa shot up and rushed to my side.
“What happened,” Jack asked, concerned for Bonnie.
“Her ex got his hands on her while we were at lunch,” I told him.
“Jason, that sick bastard,” Nyssa swore and she got an angered expression on her face, “I hate that prick. He messed with Bonnie’s mind and nearly broke her. She managed to get better, but I think it caused her to have the monsters in her mind.”
“That’s my theory too,” I told her, “I’m going to put Bonnie to bed and then get myself showered to join her. I’ll see you guys in the morning.”
Alex and I were in the bathroom, drying off after our shower. I needed to just have alone time with him while we were getting ready for today and showering always helped clear my head and with him there I got to spend time with him too.
“So I only brought in my boxers and an undershirt. What should I wear to meet your parents,” he asked.
