A New world Called California Part 11

CHAPTER 11

When I walked into my apartment I saw clothes everywhere. “What the hell?” I yelled. As I walked through the living room I noticed that the clothes belonged to me. I stopped in front of my closed bedroom door afraid to open it and see what had become of my room. I slowly turned to handle and flung open the door. There was Matt standing in the center of the room, arms folded looking completely satisfied with himself. I heard pounding on my bathroom door and looked over to see a chair propped under the handle locking whoever was inside in. “What the fuck Matt? Is that Courtney?” I made a bee line for the door, but he stepped in front of me. “You’re not letting her out until we are back together.” he said breathing heavily.

“you’re fucking crazy.” I said trying to step around him, but he moved in front of me again. So I did the only thing I could think of. I punched him as hard as I could in the jaw, remembering what my dad had taught me about where to hit people to knock them out. He fell to the floor and I ran for the door. I threw the chair aside and opened the door. Courtney flung herself at me. “Thank god. He’s had me locked in there since you left.”

I pulled out my cell phone and made a call to the police. I told the operator the situation. The operator told me to stay calm and asked for the address. I frantically yelled it into the mouth piece. The woman explained that I needed to stay on the line. Courtney ran to answer the pounding on the front door and just as Matt was about to stand up, four police officers were screaming at him to get on the ground. Goodbye Asshole I thought to myself as Matt was handcuffed and escorted out to the police cruiser.

“Are you girls okay?” one of the officers asked.

“Yes, were fine.” I answered. “Thank you.”

“you’re welcome. Just be careful who you let into your home next time okay?”

“Will do.” I said in response. He walked out. Courtney and I flopped down on my bed. “What the hell happened?” I asked her.

“I was making breakfast for us right after you left and told him that I thought we should head home today or tomorrow since the two of you weren’t getting along and he just snapped. He grabbed me and threw me in your bathroom the blocked the door so I couldn’t get out.” she explained

“Courtney I’m so sorry. I feel like this is all my fault.” I said sympathetically. She touched my arm lightly. “Its ok it isn’t your fault there is no way you or either one of us for that matter could have known that he was going to act this way. Well, I am going to finish packing so I can get on my way home.”

“okay” I said sighing “Sorry the trip wasn’t better for you.”

She smiled, “Oh this trip will stay with me forever.” We smiled at each other and she disappeared out of the room. “what a fucking day.” I said out loud as I pulled up the covers. Time for a nap I thought closing my eyes
