About the author:
I love to travel and my dream vacation is to go to Bora Bora.
One and a half months of my life was a blur, but let's start from the beginning. One sound, one movement, one minute changed my life forever. The door closed and my dad was gone forever and I will never be the same.
My names Rebecca. I have extreme anxiety, always have. It mostly goes to when people be sick or have gag reflexes.
My brother has a sickness that won’t go away. I’m always worried about him but when he gets sick I need to be at least ten feet away from him, even when I’m far away from him I have severe anxiety attacks.
I feel bad for my mom sometimes, I love my dad and all but he didn’t really help my mom out as much as she needed him to. When my brother gets sick she needs to help him and me at the same time which is very hard for her.
I always tell her to go help my brother but between you and me I always wished she stayed so I could talk to her and not talk to myself. I mean my brother needs more help than me but I wish just one time my mom could stay and comfort me.
I am kind of mad at my dad for not helping my mom when she needed it the most but I still love him and miss him a little. Anyway.. My dad isn’t the best person in the world he has done some bad things but i’m not going to get into that but I never wanted him to leave even though he has done a lot to our family but he did on may 29th 2017.
It definitely was hard and it was very hard on my mom but she doesn’t have to worry about where he is late at night. My mom has full custody of me now witch is hard but I am still mad at him and my mom needs as much help as she can get.
About a month later my mom found another guy named Ryan. The first time I met him I knew right off the bat that I wouldn’t like him, he is nice and all like, he would offer me rides to school but I always end up driving with Cheyenne because I would rather move to Mexico than be in a car with that freak.
I mean I’m not trying to be mean or anything he just can never replace my dad. But my mom seems happier so that is something good that came out of this.
He was married before he started dating my mom and he has one daughter witch luckly is with his ex-wife because I do not want another kid in our house.
About one and a half to two long months later on July 16th, 2017 Ryan proposed and I was kind of getting used to him but I was freaking out.
My anxiety was already very bad but It got worse witch I didn’t know would be possible. He did ask me about it and I said I was cool with it because my mom is just so happy and I don’t want to ruin that for her.
Ryan has been acting weird lately. He has been very secretive lately and I don’t want the same thing that my dad did to my mom to happen with Ryan.
I went over to Cheyenne’s a lot when they were planning the wedding and just because I didn’t want to be at my house. I was pretty much living with her she is a amazing best friend she just gets me and she always knows what to say. Her mom is also so great to me, she is like a second mother to me.
Night after night planning the wedding my mom asked me to walk her down the aisle. I don’t know why, but I really wanted to cry. Just thinking about my mom spending the rest of her life with a guy other than my dad was just… I don’t even know how to explain it.
I did said yes because I could tell she really wanted me too, so I told myself to suck it up and do it for my mom.
I am not a big dress girl so when we went shopping for our dresses it was the most horrible experience I have ever been through.
About a month and 14 days later.. Not that I was counting the days until my whole life changed.. The wedding day was here.
I was so nervous for my mom and myself. My mom was the the room getting ready and I couldn't see Ryan anywhere, but I did see him earlier so I know he was here but I wasn´t to worried about it.
It was 1:26 and the cerimonie was starting in four minutes and still no sign of Ryan, I mean not seeing him for awhile was kind of refreshing but I didn't want my mom to worry so I asked some people if they saw him but no one did. I went to the back of the building to see if he was there but I didn't see him so I started walking back….
My whole vision went dark. I couldn't talk. Someone was pulling me, I was trying to scream but I couldn't. I heard a car door open and I got thrown into a car or a van I didn't know. Whatever was on my head got pulled off. I was in the way back of what seemed like a van and there were two people in the front of the van.
“WHERE AM I!” I screamed at the top of my lungs
“WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE, TAKE ME BACK!”
“Your going to be just fine, just sit down and be quiet” said one of the guys in the front
“NO! I will not be quiet! Tell me where I am! I AM BEING KIDNAPPED, HELP HELP!!!!!!” I yelled
“Shut up kid you're starting to piss me off” said the guy driving
After ten minutes of yelling and screaming and freaking out the van came to a hulting stop.
We were at a house deep in the woods, I’m not sure exactly where we were.
The house was very dirty and there was a cold chill in the air.
I was in a small, dark, freezing weird room. They two men came into the room, It was very dark but then there was a flash of light.
“DAD!?”
“Why are you here, What is happening!?” I sad crying horrendously
He turned on the light and the other man was wearing mostly black and a black mask. So I didn’t get to see what the other man looked like.
“We are here to protect you Rebecca” He said quietly
“From what?”
“From living a bad life” He said
“What! What do you mean living a bad life?” I said confused
“I know you were sad when I left and I am here to make it up to you Rebecca”
“Your making it up to me by KIDNAPPING ME! If you wanted to have a day with me then you could of just asked” I shouted
“No Rebecca, this isn’t just about making it up to you, I am getting back at your mom for taking you from me” He said in a angry voice
“ SHE DIDN’T TAKE US!”
“You left” I said with a tear in my eye
“Only because your mom was always yelling at me saying everything I have done wrong”
“ Because you have done things wrong, You never helped mom and you are never there for me and you are always gone. That is not a good dad and it's not her fault!” I yelled
“SO LET ME GO!”
“NO! You are coming with me”
Later..
“ Pack all your things we are going on a road trip!” My dad said
“I don't have anything… and what! I am not leaving this house” I demanded
Next thing I knew I was in a car somehow, I don't remember getting in the car but I was definitely in a car.
“Good morning” My dad said
It was cold and rainy outside and I was guessing it was the next day. I had no idea where we were going. I was so scared and worried what we were going to do where we were going to go.
We arrived somewhere, the guy with my dad got out of the van and walked down to a messy, creepy, blue house.
I heard banging and yelling
“KATIE LET ME IN NOW”
I didn’t know who katie was but I knew that the guy didn’t like her.
He broke the glass and ran in the house. I didn’t know what was going on, I was freaking out.
“WHAT IS GOING ON!” I said crying
“Nothing, everything is going to be ok” My dad said
I knew something was going on because the guy broke into a house. I thought I recognized the voice for some reason, I felt like I heard it before but I wasn’t shire exactly who it was.
Police arrived and then I knew something serious was going on. My dad ran into the house and out came the other guy
“RYAN!!!!” I yelled in my head
I couldn’t believe it, Ryan broke into a house with my dad.
Ryan ran out the door holding a young girl, she looked about three or four.
I had so many thoughts going on in my mind
Is he kidnapping?
Was that his kid?
He put the little girl in the car. She was scared and crying just like me.
The police got my dad but they didn’t get Ryan
We were maybe two blocks from where we were before
“What is going on! Ryan why are you here, Who is this little girl” I yelled at Ryan
“Oh come on Rebecca, We were never protecting you and your dad never wanted to spend more time with you, We are getting back at our wives for kicking us out and taking our children”
“SERIOUSLY! There is a reason they kicked you guys out” I yelled
“And why is that” Ryan said
“BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE PHYSCO! Like how you guys kidnapped us”
The cops caught to us and sometimes hit the car and made us come to a hulting stop.
Me and the little girl were asked to get out of the car and Ryan was handcuffed and taken into a cop car.
“Just to let you know Rebecca, I know where your dad was all those night’s he disappeared” Ryan said with a smirk on his face
“Where was he!” I asked him
“You really want to know”
“YES!” I said
“Ok well I am going to prison anyway so he was….”
“GET IN THE CAR AND BE QUIET!” The cop said
“Girls come over here, don’t worry we will get you into a safe place” A tall women officer said
“No!!! I need to know were he was!”
The cop car door closed and I realized I will never know what my dad was hiding…..
