Story:
Once upon a time two people fell in love. Their names were Karina and Adrian. Karina’s Father Jimmy, did not approve of their relationship though. The first time Jimmy saw him, he knew he was a bad influence for his daughter so he simply put it to them that if they did not end their relationship, Adrian the loverboy would die. No questions asked. They loved each other so much, therefore made the decision to end it because her father always kept his word. He would always say “The only people I owe my loyalty, are those who never made me question theirs”. Karina loved and respected her father but also feared him and ultimately decided the best thing to do was end it because she didn't want the love of her life to disappear without a trace. They ended it, but a few months later she found out she was pregnant with Adrian’s child. She would be a disgrace to the family to be pregnant out of wedlock and feared for the repercussions of this. She told Adriana (her mother) about the pregnancy and how scared she was for Adrian because he was the father, and ultimately what would happen to them and this unborn child. After telling her mother, she feels that she has made a terrible mistake. Her mother was concerned about what she had just been told and knowing how strict her husband was she didn't think her family would be safe in his hands. Her first instinct was to threaten Karina to keep this from her father because she would get her family killed! “WHAT?!” I yelled at her in disagreement then ran towards the beach to find Adrian. After thinking about it, my mother was right. Once she got to the beach, she also remembered how this was the first place Karina and Adrian met.
His brown hair was glittering in the sun set. I was wearing a white lace sleeve shirt and camo leggings. He was wearing a plain white tank top with cargo shorts. The day we met was the same day that my grandma passed away. (Me and her had some fun times together and actually used to go to the beach while staring down at the water and talked. That’s why I came here, to remember her.) He came up to me and we started talking. He made me feel better. After meeting there at the beach several times, we became close and he told me he liked me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me.
You may be wondering why my dad is always strict or concerned about me. To tell the truth, I don’t know why. I think maybe something that happened in his childhood or maybe he had a strict dad. It can also be that he never met his actual father and had a stepfather. I never met my grandpa in my 17 years. I sometimes ask my mother but she doesn't know either. I feel like they are hiding something from me. One I went to the beach, I saw him eating while he was waiting for me. I kissed him on the cheek.
“Hey,” I said.
“Hey what's wrong,” he asked me.
“Well um, we need to talk,” I replied.
“About?”
“Well I told my mom, I'm pregnant and she is telling me how I shouldn't tell my dad. After thinking about it I think she is right. I think we should leave and go somewhere else where he will never find us.” I stated.
“Meet me here tonight and we will leave,” he said.
“Where will we go?” I asked.
“Let me think of a few things I have family in other cities, but we will definitely need to get far from here Karina You and I both know what your father is capable of. I don't want him to hurt you or my unborn child” he confirmed as he leaned down and kissed her stomach.
“Anything you want my love” I answered
“OK, we would meet here after everyone has fallen asleep.” he says
“So like midnight?” I asked.
“Yes. Okay now go before your dad or anyone sees us” he says
“Ok bye, love you. ” I say
“Love you too. See you tomorrow.” he says back. I walked back to my house and ate dinner. When I sat down my dad stared at me with a straight/unreadable face.
“Um, dad do you need something?” I ask him.
“No nothing. Just where were you earlier today Karina?”
“Out,” I said while looking straight at my mom.
“Out where? I asked you a specific question and expect a full and complete answer from you with you looking me in my eyes, not at your mother! Were you with that scum?”
“No Daddy, I just took a walk on the beach” I lied.
“Oh, okay. All by yourself?” He asked me like he knew I was hiding something. Well I am lying but I can tell good lies.
“Yes, I went there to think about grandma.” I lied again
“Okay then, continue on with dinner.” he says. He actually believed me. I finished dinner fast and asked to be excused. He let me leave dinner with a surprised face. Since dinner is one of my favorite parts of the day I guess he was surprised. I then go to my room and pack my things I am going to need for the trip. I pack my toothbrush, hair brush, some tank tops, jeans, shirts, leggings, Money, my phone charger, and some hoodies, snacks, and some of the baby clothes I had hidden under the floorboards. Then I went down stairs and looked at the clock. It was 10:30pm.
“Good night dad, I love you. I just wanted to tell you I have been thinking a lot and I am sorry I have disappointed you so. I know you don't always agree with my decisions and I hope one day you will understand me better.” I said
“Good night my princess. I love you too,” He replies. I then go to my mom and tell her about my plan. She thinks that it is the best idea yet.
“Mom, I am gonna go hide from dad. You were right, I should've left and long time ago but now I know so I am going to go now”
“Okay just remember that me and your dad loves you a lot and wants you to be safe.”
“I know”
Once I said my goodbyes to her, I set an alarm for midnight and went to sleep. Once the alarm went off I grabbed my stuff and left the house. I walked towards the beach where I saw Adrian waiting for me. He looked at me and smiled.
“Are you ready?” he asked me.
“Yes!” I replied and showed him my backpack with everything in it. I hop into his jeep and we get going. It takes us about 35-50 minutes to get out of the city.
“So babe, where are we going?” I asked.
“Anywhere you want” he replied
“Ok, so if it is a girl what are we going to name her?”
“Um, how about Gianna after your grandmother. I know how much she meant to you.” he says, “But what if it's. a boy?” he continued
“Then we will name it Alex” I say
“Ok” he says
“Adrian” I say
“Yeah?” he ask
“Can we go to the gas station? I have to go use the bathroom.” I ask
“Of course my love.” He replies
After I came back from the bathroom, I got inside the car, sat down, and buckled up. I turned on my phone while I waited for Adrian to come back. When he got back we started driving again it was 1:27am.
“Hey”
“Yeah?”
“Can we stop for the night? My back hurts and I'm so uncomfortable. Can we go to a hotel to sleep? I'm tired,” I said.
“Ok but did you bring any money? Because I was thinking of sleeping in the car so we save the money” he asked
“Yes i brought $5,060 in cash” I replied
“Don’t you think we should save that for when the baby comes?” he asks.
“Well um, we could get jobs near or at the hotel.?” I reply,
“Ok fine. So I guess you could work as a waitress at the cafe and I could work at the hotel? he suggested.
“yeah , I guess that could work.” I agreed.
“What happens after the baby comes” I asked?
“We can save up some money before it comes and buy a house when it is close to coming.”
“And for doctors appointments” I add.
“Yeah, for that too.”
“Hey Adrian”
“Yes?”
“What do you want a boy or a girl”
“Doesn't matter to me.” he confirms. He drives up to the hotel, pays for one room, and gets the key. We go to room 819 and open the door. Once we see it, it looks like a modern mansion in one room. Like a guest house. I put my stuff on the empty king sized bed. I then went into the bathroom and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I also combed my hair and then laid down next to Adrian. After about 20 minutes of watching TV we fall asleep. I then start to remember how my dad first started hating Adrian.
After school brought Adrian into my house so my dad can meet him. Adrian was wearing light blue ripped jeans and a big white t-shirt and a leather jacket.
“Hey dad!” I yelled. “I have someone I’ll like you to meet!”
“OK coming sweetie,” he replied
Once he comes into the living room where Adrian and I were sitting, we stand up once he sees us. His face looked very disappointed.
“Who is this??” He asked suspiciously
“Dad, this is Adrian”
“Hello Mr. Mikalson.” Adrian said while shaking his hand. Jimmy was just staring at him and his clothes still with his disappointed face. My dad always looked at boy’s clothes. He thinks he knows what kind of people they are by what they are wearing. After Adrian left I got a huge lecture about how I hang out with the wrong people and how I should’nt date those kinds of people. I then tell him how he asked me out and how I am going to go on a date with him tonight. After telling him that, I know I should’ve never brought Adrian here.
At 6:00am the alarm goes off. We wake up and get the day started. I tell Adrian to go ask the people at the front desk if we can get a job here meanwhile I would clean up here and make some breakfast. He agrees then goes get ready for the day. Once he is done I also go brush my teeth and take a shower. Once I am done I dress up into my romper. It's a black top with black shorts and I put some converse on. After I got ready I started cleaning the room and started hanging everything we brought up and putting it into the dresser. After I finished that I went to the store to get stuff for breakfast. I bought eggs, bacon, pancake mix, milk and cereal for about $35.
When I got back to the hotel I put the stuff away and started making breakfast. A few minutes after I finished breakfast Adrian came in smiling and said he found a job and served him some food as he sat down.
“Um Adrian” I say
“Yes” the replies
“I need to go to the doctors office because I'm due for my last appointment since the baby is almost here. I was wondering if… you wanted to go with me considering you're the father? You don't have to go though since you’ve been to all the other ones.”
“When is it?”
“Today at 2:30”
“That’s when my first shift starts”
“Oh, well I guess it’s ok”
“No it is not okay, I will come. I just need to let them know”
“Okay.”
We continue eating. Once we are done I go to the hotel cafe to start my shift at the job I got a few days ago. After taking about 46 orders I go back to the room. It is now 2:15. I grab my car keys and walk into the elevator. When the door opens I see him at the service desk. I see his curious face. Probably wondering if he knows we are here. How? After standing there for a couple of seconds I think, he found us! I press on the button over and over until the door finally closes to take me back to the 3rd floor. I run to my room and lock the door and call Adrian.
“ADRIAN!,” I yell into the phone.
“Hello, What happened?” he questioned.
“HE FOUND US”
“Who found us? What are you talking about?”
“MY DAD! I'M SCARED! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?” Then his phone cuts out of the call. Five minutes later someone tries to open the door. I say in an old grandma voice, “Yes? Who is it?”
“It’s room service.” I look out the peephole and see that it is. I tell them to go away and to come back later, and they do. I then open the door once they’re gone and run towards the stairs. I see that there are men wearing black suits guarding the exits, so I go back to my room. Once I get there, I try to text Adrian but since my dad seems to have taken over the hotel, they probably took out the power as well. I look out the window and see the room service cart in the middle of 3 dead maids. I immediately tried to call the front desk operator but the phones were disconnected! I went out into the hall again after the coast was clear and noticed a woman down the hall picking up two bodies and putting them in the cart to transport them to the same area where I was going to try to get to Adrian. I need to make my way to the first floor cafeteria where Adrian is working so we can get out of here! There are innocent people dying with blood on my fathers hands! Just imagine what he is going to do to us! She decides to risk it, go back into her room and try climbing out of the window. She manages to climb out and into another room window on the second floor now! She then runs to the staircase noticing it was not guarded and gets down to the first floor. Now She sees an overwhelming amount of her fathers security and again tries to call Adrian from her cell phone. The call doesn't go through! So she tries to text him “ ADRIEN I'M ON THE FIRST FLOOR I CAN GET MYSELF OUT OF THE BUILDING BUt YOU NEED TO DO THE SAME MEET ME AROUND THE CORNER PLEASE RESPOND!!!!
“Karina. Ok texting works somehow. we can leave! I just have to get past the guards. Do you have a plan?” He responded.
“DO you Have a plan” I text him
“No Do you” he text me
``Actually I kinda do,” I texted him “You can fight right” I continued.
“Yes I can. Why?” he said.
“There were two guards outside this door. All you have to do is knock them both out and you can get out of there. We don't need anything. I have the money and the keys so we can go.” I texted.
“Um ok but they both look big.” he texted
“What other choice do we have?” I texted him back
“True. Well here I go. Wish me luck” he text me
“Good Luck” I texted him
I was already at the corner and 5 minutes later Adrian came and took the keys from my pocket.
“I am going to get the car I will be back” He said
“OK be careful” I said
When he came back I got in the car and we started driving when the first stop light came and I felt something wet on my seat.
“My water broke” I say to Adrian, Adrian then pulls into another hotel and asks me, “Are you ready?’
“Not one bit” I tell him excitedly. He gets out of the car, and into the hotel again. He carries me into a random room and 5 minutes later comes back with a lady with blood splatters on her face. She tells us her story. She says that she came here with her 3 children. A boy who was 1 year old, a girl who was 6, and another boy who was 10. She also mentions that she is a single mother and came here to the hotel to have a little vacation. Then she starts crying and adds that she left her 6 and 10 year old at the first floor cafe so they can get something for us. After 3 minutes she hears gunshots and then runs down the stairs and sees her kids lying on the floor, dead. Once she goes back to her room she sees that she left the door open and her 1 year old gone. Long gone. When I look at her I can see her young face all red with a bunch of tears. She looks like she is in her late 20s. I tell her that I understand her. Then I start to have a bunch of cramps. She asks us what is happening and Adrian catches her up with our story. Every little detail he gives her. She offers her help and tells me to breathe in and out. After about 30 minutes she tells me that I need to push. After about 30 minutes I finally saw it. I was wondering if it was a girl or a boy but I guess I don’t have to worry about that anymore because I have twins. A girl and a boy.
“Are we still going to name them Gianna and Alex?” I question Adrian
“Of course. Do you not want to?”
“I want to. I just wanted to know if it was fine with you.”
“Now what are we gonna do? We have to leave and we only have one car seat” I asked
“You can hold one of the twins and I will drive to the store to buy another seat for Alex.”
“Are we going to leave now?” I asked
“Yes” he said
After putting Gianna in her car seat, I sat down next to her carseat and he handed me Alex. A few Minutes after driving Adrian gasps.
“What happened?” I confusly asked him
“Your dad is following us” he answered me
“WHAT?!” I said in shock “How did he find us?” Just then Alex started crying.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“I think he’s hungry.”
“Can’t you feed him? Did you bring any food?”
“They can’t have food for a few more weeks. I do have a formula but I need warm water.”
“Can’t you feed them the other way? The more healthy way for them? I don’t want your dad to hear them cause we both Know what he will do to them! Let alone us!”
“Can you try to lose him?” I asked
“I mean I can try but it’s going to be hard since I don’t want to scare the twins” He said
“It’s okay. Maybe he doesn't know it is us. Right? He has never seen your car.”
“Yeah, maybe. But what if he knows it is us?”
“Then we run. Try to lose him. Here I have a plan”
“What?”
“How about you drive up to the store and you get down where me and the twins will hide in the car. If he goes to the store too then he knows it is us. If he doesn't and keeps driving that means he doesn't know it is us”
“OK, good plan.” Adrian then gets out of the car, puts his hoodie on and walks into the store. I go in the trunk where I grab the twins and lay them down while they are sleeping. Then I go behind with them too where I put a big blanket on us. I grabbed my phone from my back pocket and then I saw that there was a tracking device. I took it off, got out the car real quick and put it on a car that was passing by. I got back in the truck and waited for a car to pull up. Luckily no cars came to the store so I now know that my dad isn't following us. I wait for Adrian to come back to tell him the news but after about 30-50 minutes he still hasn't come. I start to get scared so I leave the twins in the car since they are sleeping and get out of the car. Then I go look for Adrian. I checked the whole store and couldn't find him so I figured he went back to the car and decided to meet me back at the car. Once I went back to the car, he wasn’t there either. I climbed back in the trunk and the twins weren’t there either. I tried looking for them where they were but instead of them, there was a note.
My Dearest Daughter
I don’t know how to say this but I have your lovely loverboy and my grandkids that I never knew about. So, for you not listening to me about staying away from him, you will never see them again. And since I love you, none of them will die unless they don’t listen to me. Your loverboy might be locked away from the twins though, not as bad as dying. The twins will be kept in a room but once they turn 5 they would be suffering from your mistakes. Your welcome for giving you all this information. I hope this makes you the girl I want you to become. One last thing, DON'T try looking for them. Your welcome.
Once I read this, I don’t know if I should try looking for them or stay put. I drove over to my old house so I could talk to my mom. I get there after about 2 hours and I knock on the door.
“Who is it?” my mom asks
“Mom! It’s me, Karina”
“Karina?” she asks while opening the door
“Hey Karina. Is your dad with you?”
“No why? You haven't seen him lately have you?”
“No, why is something wrong?”
“Well um, Kinda?”
“Here come in, come in”
Once I enter, all I see is a huge mess. “Mom, what happened here?”
“Um. Nothing.” she lies
“Mom, what is that on your arm?”
“Um, Nothing. Here let's talk about you not me”
“Mom! Tell me or else I am not leaving.”
“Fine” She tells me that she got into an argument with my dad where he got so mad he started slapping her everywhere. On the cheek and arms mostly. She also adds that she had to tell him where I was and why I left so he could stop. She didn't want to tell him but had too because he had a knife. Once she told him he slapped her once more on the arm real bad and got into his car. Then he found me in the hotel.
“Oh mom, I’m so sorry”
“It’s ok- WAIT, where is your baby bump on your stomach?!” she says surprised
“Oh yeah, um. You have grandkids”
“Grandkids? With a ‘S’?! REALLY! Where are they?”
“That’s the problem. Dad took them.”
“Oh,” she says sadly, “Wait, OH! I think I know where they are!”
“Really! HOW?”
“Your dad came here an hour ago and had a box and brought it into the basement”
“Did he have Adrian?”
“No, he just had a small box”
I ran to the basement and my mom followed me. I saw the twins. I grabbed them and hugged them so tight. Then I put them in the car so I can have them somewhere safe and said bye to my mom and left. You may think that I need to find Adrian but I think I think that but I want to help my kids be safe so I am going to take it a step at a time.
*1 month after living in the car with the twins*
Okay so, yes I was living in the car but I got a job at a diner. After a month of saving money I bought an apartment so now I am safe. I would find Adrian. Soon. And please do not worry about me. Everything is going to be okay! Right?
The End
