In an instant it is all away.
Everything is taken away.
My life is defined in only two moments. The first night I met her and the last night I saw her. Once I was running towards her and the past week I was only running away from her. Never once did I think I would loose her. At times we have had our fights but we always would get back together. I honestly thought this would be one of those times and not one of those defining moments.
Trayton ~”Where the fuck is she? Do any one of you know where she is? WHERE IS SHE?”
Mary ~”Trayton I was with her the whole day and she said nothing to me.”
I dial her number.
It rings.
And rings.
And rings some more.
Trayton ~”EMMA?”
Emma ~”We did not once speak about her leaving. I don’t even know how she got her things out of here.”
Trayton ~”Someone must have seen something? Dominic check the cameras!”
Kenton ~”I honestly have not spoken much to her this past week since you two have been fighting.”
Trayton ~”FUCK, FUCK, FUCK.”
I dial her number.
It rings.
And rings.
And rings more.
It cuts out and go to voicemail.
Trayton ~”Baby girl please phone me. I am sorry. It is not what you think happened. Please phone me.”
I drop the call and wait…
Nothing happens…
Dominic returns from checking the cameras but you can see there is no good news from the look on his face
Dominic ~”You not going to like this man but the cameras are off.”
Trayton ~”What the fuck do you mean they are off?”
Dominic ~”They have been switched off.”
Trayton ~”Fuck she switch them off. I don’t know if I should be mad or impressed with her.”
I dial her number again.
It rings.
It rings and rings.
It rings more.
And more.
I drop the call, frustration and anger starting to boil in me.
Mary ~”What now Trayton? She is all alone.”
Trayton ~”Someone must have helped her mom. I don’t think she is alone.”
…………………………………………..
With Ava ~…
Even though it broke my heart, I had to leave Trayton, after seeing him in the kitchen with that girl, I just had to. The last thing I want to be now is alone but now I am, I am not completely alone but I do feel I am.
Jackson ~”Are you going to be okay Ava?”
Ava ~”I will Jackson, thank you for helping me.”
Jackson ~”He is going to fucking kill me if he finds out but I understand. Kay also chucked me out when she fell pregnant.”
Ava ~”Are you saying that pregnant women are difficult?”
Jackson ~”Not at all. It is hard for men like us to get to grip with it in the beginning. Our jobs don’t really scream father material.”
Ava ~”I understand that but not the damn half naked bitch in my kitchen.”
Jackson ~”Are you sure that it was what you saw?”
Ava ~”I was not about to stand and wait for him to prove me otherwise.”
Jackson ~”You know he is going to phone and ask me to look for you?”
Ava ~”I only need time until I can find a job and my own place.”
Jackson ~”You can stay in Kay’s old place.”
Ava ~”If you can help me get a new phone, I am sure he is going to start tracking this one.”
Jackson ~”I will get one of my guys to sort it out and also check on you everyday.”
Ava ~”I really appreciate it Jackson.”
I know it is probably very wrong of me to ask Trayton’s friend to help me out and hide me away from him but there is nobody else I trust with me and my baby’s life. He has been there twice before when we needed him, he is a good man and won’t help if he did not care.
What Trayton did is unforgivable, I know that I can be very difficult at times and that I only think about myself at most times but to have another woman in our house only hours after we have split up, I don’t deserve being treated like that. Sometimes he only thinks with his damn cock, I might love him with all my being but right now my baby’s wellbeing is the only thing I care about.
…………………………………………..
With Trayton…
She has left me.
I deserve it, I treated her like she meant nothing, like she was nothing, I treated her and the baby like they were a problem, a problem that if I closed my eyes, they would just go away. Instead of sitting with her and talk, all I did was fight and walk away. It was fine for me to say and do to her as I pleased, now she is gone. Only now that she is gone do I see how wrong I have been. It should not be this way, I should have seen while she still was here.
I dial her number again.
It rings once before going to voicemail.
Trayton ~”Baby girl please, please phone me!”
I drop the call and turn to Kenton.
Trayton ~”Kenton we the last ones that saw her. Can you remember anything weird?”
Kenton ~”No she seemed okay apart from the fact she was pissed off seeing you and Kaylin both in your underwear.”
Dominic ~”Why the fuck did you not go after her?”
Trayton ~”He told me not to.”
Dominic ~”And since when do you listen?”
Trayton ~”I was just thinking.”
Mary ~”You were just thinking. Why the fuck do you go out drinking while you have an upset girlfriend at home.”
Trayton ~”She is pissed off at me a lot and stays at home.”
Emma ~”Yes but this time she is pissed off with a baby and you were not quite nice and welcoming about it.”
Trayton ~”You need to decide whose side you are on. One day she pisses you off and the next you all buddy-buddy again.”
Emma ~”Says him that pisses her off at least once a week.”
Trayton ~”I can’t help she is a sensitive person and that I can be an asshole.”
Emma ~”You definitely are an asshole.”
Trayton ~”WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL HERE? You not with Dominic and Kenton is clearly not interested in you in that way. Why are you here?”
Mary ~”Trayton!”
Trayton ~”No mom. She hangs around here and stirs shit as she goes and tries to get into the first available pants she can find.”
Kenton ~”Trayton calm down bro.”
Trayton ~”I am not fucking calming down. If she was a damn good friend like she claim she is then we would have known where Ava is.”
Mary ~”Trayton not even I know where Ava is, there is no way Emma would have known.”
Trayton ~”I don’t care, I WANT YOU OUT OF MY HOUSE. NOW!”
Dominic ~”Trayton relax man.”
Trayton ~”I want her out my fucking house. NOW!”
Emma ~”Ava is right, you are a goddamn asshole.”
Trayton ~”At least we all agree on something then.”
I grab the bottle of whiskey standing on the kitchen counter and make my way to the downstairs office to check the cameras myself. I have managed to upset and piss the entire house off again.
As I sit down, there is a knock at the door.
Trayton ~”Emma I am not in the mood for you, just get the fuck out of my house.”
Kaylin ~”Trayton it is Kaylin.”
Trayton ~”Sorry, you can come in.”
She comes into my office.
Trayton ~”Where is Kenton?”
Kaylin ~”He is busy looking at Ava’s room.”
Trayton ~”I am sorry but I am really not in the mood for company.”
Kaylin ~”I know, Kenton asked me to check if you okay.”
Trayton ~”I will be okay as soon as I know that she is okay.”
Kaylin ~”I am sure whomever she is with is looking after her.”
Trayton ~”That is my problem, I don’t know who she is with and these fucking cameras are off so I am never going to know who she is with.”
Kaylin ~”What about friends?”
Trayton ~”Her friend is that bitch is just threw out my house.”
Kaylin ~”And family?”
Trayton ~”She does not have family. Well she does but she does not know where they are.”
Kaylin ~”Then who else can she be with?”
Trayton ~”I can’t think of anybody else.”
Kenton walks in the office, he kisses Kaylin on the forehead to thank her for sitting with me. He has not known her a day but I can see that he likes her a lot. My honest opinion, I’d much rather prefer him being with her than that other woman, Emma.
Kenton ~”There is no clue in her room where she might have gone to. She cleaned out everything, you won’t even think she ever stayed there.”
Trayton ~”Where is her car?”
Kenton ~”It is still parked in the garage, yours were parking it in, and that is maybe why she left it.”
Trayton ~”How the fuck is she going to get around now! Check all the fucking cameras around this area including the gas station and check if you can see her. Did she take her phone?”
Kenton ~”I don’t see it laying around.”
Trayton ~”Track it. I want to know who the last person was that she spoke to. Do you see her purse laying around?”
Kenton ~”No nothing either.”
Trayton ~”Trace her cards. Check every doctor and all the hospitals for any visits of newly pregnant women.”
Kenton ~”What about baby stores?”
Trayton ~”Get someone to sit and watch every baby store in this city.”
Trayton ~”Watch that other bitch, Becca. I want to know if Ava goes there. Watch Emma too, the minute she speaks to Ava I want to know.”
Kenton ~”What about her family?”
Trayton ~”I will find them, for all I know she might have found them. I can check the laptop, I will see what she searched for before she left. I want to know every last thing she did before she left here. She did not walk out here on her own. Someone was with her and I want to know who.”
Kenton ~”We will find her Trayton. I will not rest until we have her back home.”
Trayton ~”Just make sure that Emma leaves. It is bad enough Ava has a useless boyfriend, she does not deserve a two timing friend and a fucking horny bitch that is waiting to pound on her next target, she must leave.”
I will put every resource I have into finding Ava and bring her back home. I will not stop or sleep until I have found her. I will find her. If the best taught her to hide, the best can find her where she is hiding.
…………………………………………..
With Ava…
I have hopefully covered my tracks as good as he showed me how to do. He must be sitting and wondering how I am going to get around, well all that ‘spending’ money he gave me, bought me a small little car. Bank cards, they have been cancelled. Doctors, hospitals and baby stores, will only go to the next city. Becca and Emma, won’t be speaking to them. As for checking cameras around the area, well Jackson is pretty well with moving around unseen. Now I just need to get rid of this phone.
But first.
I dial the number and wait for it to ring.
Trayton ~”Ava!”
Ava ~”Hey Trayton.”
Trayton ~”Where are you?”
Ava ~”I thought you are good at finding people?”
Trayton ~”Not if the person I am trying to find is the one I showed how to hide.”
Ava ~”I take it as a compliment that I am doing it so well. Then you will understand why it is useless to try and look for me.”
Trayton ~”Baby girl please come home. I miss you and I am so sorry. Please I beg you.”
Ava ~”It’s too late for begging Trayton. I am not coming back.”
Trayton ~”Baby girl please. The baby needs a father and I need to be your husband. I need you to please come back home.”
Ava ~”I remember a few days ago you did not want any part of it.”
Trayton ~”Baby girl I am sorry, please come home. Please. We can fix this, we always fix things, we need to fix this. Please don’t go.”
Ava ~”I must go. I just wanted to let you know that I am okay. I love you Trayton. Please look after yourself.”
Trayton ~”I love you Ava and I want to love our baby. Please come home.”
Ava ~”Bye Trayton.”
Trayton ~”Ava please wait!”
Then I dropped the call. Jackson tosses the phone out the window and hands me the new one.
Jackson ~”We are going to be here for you Ava.”
Ava ~”Please promise you won’t tell him.”
Jackson ~”I am a man of my word. I won’t mention a thing to him. He acted like a damn asshole and he knows that.”
Ava ~”I know he does but he can’t just get away with it every time.”
Jackson ~”Are you going to have the baby on your own then?”
Ava ~”Yes, I can’t force him to be a father if he does not want to be one.”
Jackson ~”I know he wants to, he is just scared. He will come around.”
Ava ~”I know, I just don’t know what is going to happen. I will have to take it day by day.”
A few minutes later we stop in front a big apartment building.
Jackson ~”We are here. What do you think?”
Ava ~”Fuck is this where your wife stayed?”
Jackson ~”Yes before she moved in with me.”
Ava ~”I don’t know how baby proof this is. This is amazing, I don’t think I ever would want to leave here.”
Jackson ~”You stay as long as you need. And Trayton does not know about the place either.”
Jackson ~ and two of his men start unpacking the SUV while I go upstairs. I am starting to feel a bit more comfortable with my decision especially now that I know I am not going to be stuck in my car somewhere on a pavement. For now this is the best that I can do for me and the baby.
…………………………………………..
With Trayton…
I have dialled this number for maybe the twenty third time now and all it does is go to voicemail. We cannot track the phone, only up to its last location when it was still on. And I somehow know it is never coming on again. She has cancelled her cards. Can’t trace her there either. There is no sign of her or anybody else on all the cameras around here. If she is going to see any doctors or go to any hospitals and baby stores will be seen. As for Emma, she won’t speak to her again or Becca.
She is gone.
I am never going to see her again.
I have two options left, my first.
Jackson ~”Trayton.”
Trayton ~”Jackson.”
If anyone can find anyone as hidden as Ava, it would be Jackson.
