My mate, My exception novel Chapter 74

"Hello?" Her voice made me hesitate. I had missed this voice, so very much.

"Mom, its m-me." My voice trembled as emotions rolled through me.

"Jennifer?! JEN!! Jen is it you?"

"Yes, mom it's me." I tell her, Jake kisses my forehead and leaves the room giving me some privacy.

"Jen are you okay? Where are you at? Where have you been? Why didn't you contact us? I want you to come home right now! Oh my goodness. Tell me your okay. Jen are you safe?" My mother rumbles through the questions like never before and I took a deep breath.

"I am safe mom. I'm okay and I want..... I want to come home."

Jake opened the passenger side door and gripped my arms to help me out of my seat. When I was standing up he put his arm around my shoulder.

I looked up at my house that I hadn't seen in months. It looked the same, yet so different in how I saw it.

He kept his arms around me, carrying most of my weight to the front door. When we reached it I stopped his hand as he reached for the bell, taking a minute to catch my breath.

I had been taking the last few days at a slow pace, usually only walking to the bathroom and back everyday. I didn't want to look like a mess in front of them.

When I had caught my breath, I reached up and rang the doorbell myself.

I heard yells inside and footsteps approach the other side of the door. A pair of eyes looked at me through the window before the door was thrown open and I was in a pair if arms.

"JEN!!! She's home guys- she's safe!!!" Jeremy yells behind him. "Where have you been?" He asks me when he releases me. Before I answer I am pulled into another pair of arms, these ones belonging to Jace.

"Oh God Jen." He held me tight and I flinched feeling the strain on my shoulder. When Jace let me go Jake swept me back into his arms before Justin, who was walking towards us, hugged me tightly as well.

"It's okay Jake." I whisper as I see my brothers astounded glares. I didn't blame them. A guy had returned me to my house after a good two month all bruised and broken and then refrained them from greeting me. Whether or not he wanted to or not he was about to get there wrath.

"She's hurt." He says to my brother after it's silent for awhile.
