I AM MUTE
chapter 20:
"Drake...Drake murdered my mom, and he promised to murder me too if i told anyone."
They all stared at me as if they couldnt believe this was true. Sam was the first to recover. She stood up.
"Lyra, is this true?" I nodded my head. "Drake really murdered you mother?" She sounded like she didnt believe me.
"Lyra?" Jackson asked, "Where you there when it happened?"
Again I nodded.
"Dr...Drake was mad at me. I wouldnt listen to him.Wouldnt do what he wanted me to do. I tried breaking up with him that night. He came to the house in a rage. He had a gun. He pointed at me and fired but mom jummped in the way. She got shot, and Drake let me live so he could come after me again. He wants me to live in fear." By this point I was in tears. Sam and Jackson both moved to comfort me, but i moved away so they couldnt. Dave was just sitting, trying to absorb everything I had said.
"Drake said I was worthless. I didnt deserve to live, but he let me. He killed my mother then threatened me. He said if I ever told anyone, he would come and kill me too. But he said my death would be worse than my mother's. He left and i called the police. I held mom until she died. I told her I was sorry. Sorry I had ever dated such a monster. She died minutes before the police got there. They asked me what happened. I told them a guy with a mask came in and shot her. They believed me. The case eventually went cold. They never knew the murder was a senior in their highschool.
"Drake left the next year and when i didnt hear anything else about him, I thought he was gone. But now I guess he isnt." I was still crying. Dave jummped up and ran to grab the phone.
"Dave what are you doing?!" I screamed at him.
"Lyra. We have to tell the police. Drake murdered your mother. And now hes after you. We're not just gonna sit here until he kills you too."
"But-" I tried to fight him on it, but Jackson came over and wrapped his arms around me.
"Let it go Ly." He whispered in me ear. "Let it go."
Dave started dialing. Sam walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his arm.
"Hello? Yes. Theres been a murder. And now he's after my daughter." Dave said to the person on the phone.
"I dont want to hear this." I told Jackson. He nodded and lead me up to my room. He shut the door behind us. I sat down on my bed. Jackson came and sat next to me. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me to him. I curled up into his side and let a few tears escape. He noticed them.
"Lyra. Its going to be okay. It'll all work out. You have me and Dave here to protect you. Your safe. We all love you Lyra." he kissed the top of my head. I stopped crying.
Did he just say he loved me?
I looked up at him, a confused but hopeful look on my face. He looked at me, and he knew exactly what I was thinking. He smile softly.
"Yes, Lyra. I just said I love you." Then he kissed me gently. I pulled back and burried my face in his side. A big smile was plastered to my face.
Someone knocked on my door and then Sam walked in.
"Lyra, hunny, the police are here. They want to talk to you."
I nodded and stood up. JAckson stood up with me and wrapped his arm around my waist. Sam smiled sadly at me, squeazed my hand, then walked down the stairs. We followed.
I really didnt want to talk to the police about what happened, but if it meant that that monster would be behind bars, then i would do anything. We walked into the kitchen and i gasped.
Anthony, Drake's father was the cop there in the kitchen. How was I gonna tell him that his son is a phycopath.
He smiled at me, and I tried to smile back. He motioned for me to sit down. I sat, and he sat too. JAckson stood be hind my seat.
"Lyra," he began, "Do you know who killed your mother?"
I nodded, close to tears again.
"Who was it then?"
"I'm sorry Anthony." I said, " it is Drake."
"What? My Drake?"
I nodded.
"Tell him what you told us Ly." Jackson said.
So I did. I told him what I told my family.
