Annabel's Fate Fate Of Her Path Series: Volume 1

Chapter 16

As they arrived Annabel handed Scarlett her bag and kissed her as Scarlett left the car then watching it leave. Annabel knew it was for the best that her wife received help they would have no contact until she was at the mental ward but that was fine for her. Annabel sighed wishing she had a friend to talk with then she remembered Jana must consider her something so she tracked down every hotel in the area, sure enough they were still around so she went and knocked on the hotel door. The door opened with big eyes as the young girl said,

"Mom,mom, come to the door."

She heard rustling from the room as the door opened wide as the young boy and Jana stood there as Annabel spoke,

"I know I pushed you all away,children I'm sorry for being so mean to your mom. I hope you all can forgive me but my wife is getting help and I need someone to stay with me until she does. I will be sure to return you back here as soon as she is home but I need friends."

Jana guided Annabel inside replying,

"Your apartment don't look big enough for all of us, so how would it work out? Not trying to be mean but we are already struggling in this hotel room. Heck we can't even go home because we are broke and trying to survive."

Annabel shook her head in disbelief that they traveled without extra funds or however long they have been on the road as the little girl came up speaking,

"I am Avery and this is Jonathan and we are your kids too, you got us from the adoption Agency in Kansas City, Kansas. You promised to be in our lives for good and than you let Scarlett take you, we never saw you again. I am now nine going on ten very soon and Jonathan is twelve going on thirteen he's a pre-teen now I guess."

Annabel had no recall of the history but this little girl Avery did she seemed to remember every detail as Jana cleared her throat saying,

"Alright Avery enough sweetheart, I am sure Annabel has no recall of her past life gotta remember Scarlett has hurt this nice woman very badly."

Avery sighed hating the answer as she looked at Jana replying,

"Mom, I really wish she was Angel or Momma again, I miss her and the bond we shared she was my best friend before meanie Scarlett took her away."

Jana hugged Avery with tears then dried them up responding,

"Avery, I can't change someone of whom they are at the moment it just doesn't work that way, so we will respect Annabel and show her the same support she had before, Scarlett is getting help but only time can tell right now what happens."

Avery let go of Jana than ran to the bathroom closing the door silently as she heard the girl cry and Jonathan just sat their with a somber look on his face as he stared at Annabel like he saw a ghost across the room.

Jana never thought Angel would come back into her life especially now seeing her standing at the door gave her chills but she knew it wasn't Angel not now, not ever. Jana had face reality that Angel isn't returning to herself for a very long time. So, Jana let her into the apartment as she explained the situation then Avery had spoken that's when all the chills came back as her daughter had described the past but Annabel had no reflection of it. As Avery ran to the bathroom in tears, Jonathan looked like a ghost had haunted him. So now the question is...should they go with Annabel to her place or have her stay in the hotel for one night then have her go home in the morning?

Avery came out of the bathroom with red eyes and tears still wet down her face as she spoke,

"Annabel, I know you aren't Angel but please stay here tonight for just one night."

Annabel looked at Jana an Jana nodded yes and that was when Annabel replied,

"I will stay tonight as I have to return my wife's rental car tomorrow any how, I was going to tonight but I have no energy."
