( This is a short chapter about Stacy's PoV on how things have progressed. Sorry I haven't posted in about a month I will try to post every Friday again.)
CHAPTER 5
Stacy: ** Knowledge**
** ** The rain dribbled down from the sky like a leaky faucet. It hit the cab's window and slowly rolled down. Past the sky's tears was the air port; it was filled with furs running to catch cabs or trying to get to their flight. I opened the car door and collected my bags. The rain was dripping off my fur slow and cool like. The way they fell was quick and quiet, like how my son told me he was gay. His silent pleas for acceptance were the only thing skipping through my head. They stuck there like a song on repeat. Was I too harsh on him? Did I really hate the idea of him being gay? I have so many questions and I know the answer to every single one. I want to pretend like I didn't know the answers so I can be play the innocent housewife, it's a pathetic thought really. I walked into the airport with my head down, ashamed of what furs might think of me. I looked up to see where flight was. I spent a few minutes examining the signs and found the location. I headed toward the area I needed to be with the ominous thoughts of Kaleb and Connor. What if Connor hurts Kaleb, or worse? I shook my head to try to wipe my mind with evil thoughts. Connor would never do such a thing, right?
Time seemed to shoot by with me just sitting there in the air port. It was 7:45 P.M. and my flight is going to take off at 8:30 P.M. I stood up and slowly walked over to get my pass port stamped and got onto the plane. The engine kicks on and you can hear the increasing speed of the propellers. I look out the window and see that we're starting to move. I never liked flights and the worst part always is lifting off. The plane is gaining momentum and I can feel the bird trying to get off the ground. The moment the plane is in the air my feelings of dread escape my body. I relaxed for a little bit before the thoughts of my son came back to slap me awake. There is no way I can deny the fact that my son is gay and I certainly can't keep him alone. I can't keep pushing my true feelings away. I don't care that my son is gay, I care about his safety. Connor is an abusive person, what have I done? I shouldn't have left Kaleb alone! I grab my phone from my purse and dialed 911.
"This is 911 what's your emergency?"
"I'm concerned with my son's safety at home with his father. I'd like to get my son away from home."
"Okay where do you live and we'll dispatch an officer as soon as we can."
"3651 Garber St. and please hurry!"
"We can only send an officer as soon as one becomes available. Is there anything else we can do for you?"
"No, no thank you just make sure my boy is safe."
"Okay we'll try to get over there as soon as we can. You take it easy Ma'am and have a good night."
"Thank you officer." I hung the phone up and looked out my window. I saw the orange yellow sky drift past me. I looked beyond the clouds and saw a flash of lighting come from nowhere. What could that mean? Kaleb please be okay.
