His voice sounded the same, he looked the same just a bit older, the only difference was the glasses he was wearing.
You lost your family that day when you took my mom to Italy leaving me behind. I snapped at him, I stepped closer to him yelling out my response.
Now I’ll ask you again, what are you doing here ?
I need to speak with your father about the office in Italy. Paul whispers.
Of course, if it wasn’t because of business he wouldn’t be here. My dad walked inside the kitchen, I turned my head looking out the window.
I told you to meet me at my office not my home. My dad says in a scary business tone, my dad has never been one to joke around especially with his career.
I wanted to see my niece. My uncle responds.
I rolled my eyes, my dad walks to stand beside me. He wraps his arms around me, turning me around in his embrace. My dad knows how hard it is for me to see him again, he was there every night when I cried myself to sleep, crying for my slut of a mother to return back home to me.
My daughter doesn’t seem to want to see you, do you blame her ? My dad says.
Of course not.
Good, now leave. I’ll be at my office when I feel like going. My dad steps closer to him, almost growling at him.
My uncle looks at me before grabbing his coat off the table, he hurries outside as my dad slams the door shut behind him. I secretly wiped away the tear that snuck away from my eye, I have to admit that my uncle’s betrayal did hurt my family and it hurt me.
I had no idea he was going to show up here, I wouldn’t have allowed it. My dad comforts me, I snuggled my head against his chest.
I couldn’t avoid him forever. I whispered.
You’ll be fine. My dad rubs small circles up and down my back.
I should get going to the office.
He pulls away, I frowned at what he just said. He told my uncle he’ll go when he feels like it, of course he’d choose work over me. I gave him a little nod, he grabbed a duffle bag off the chair next to me, I didn’t even realize there was a duffle bag there.
That’s weird, a duffle bag to work.
I didn’t say nothing, I walked him outside and watched him get inside his car. I waved goodbye, once he was gone my smile faded away and my eyes became more watery. I wrapped my hands around my small waist before heading towards my car, once I got inside my car I blasted the heater. I stared at my empty house, nothing has changed since I was little, it’s always been an empty house.
I started up my engine driving home, I passed by many expensive houses that reminded me a lot of my house. I was lucky that my parents are able to give me everything I want and need, I mean my dad bought me a townhouse but is it worth it ? Is it worth it not knowing my parents, not having that bound a parent and child should have.
I opened my front door, I dropped my purse on my table while removing my boots.
A person emerged from my room, I glanced up to see who it was. Jakob trailed his finger down my wall, my body completely froze in pure fear.
Warning : triggering
My brain kept trying to plan out an escape plan but my body completely shut down. I took a few steps back and bumped into the counter where my knifes were at. I quickly grabbed one, pointing it at him. His words that he said at the charity ball mocked inside my head, ‘count your days.’
How did you get inside ? My voice croaked.
I have a tracker on my lovely wife, it led me to here. His eyes racked down my body, I tugged at my coat trying to cover my body more.
Your back window might be broken.
Get out. I whispered.
His finger moved side to side, while he clicked his tongue. I gulped when he walked over to my photo frames, I moved from the counter to the sink trying to put distance between us. He picked up the photo of Victoria and I as small children, he tilted his head while observing it.
Even as a kid you were still hot. I wanted to throw up from that sentence, he was sick in the head.
I said get out, my dad will be here any second. I rephrased my words, I was watching his movement very carefully. It was a lie, my dad wasn’t coming but I thought if I said that then he’ll get scared and leave.
It wasn’t working. He turned to look at me, he cocked his eyebrow up like he was challenging my word.
Hearing you cry and scream for help made me come even faster. He laughs while bringing out a cigarette from his pocket and placed it in his mouth.
Watching you fight pointlessly against me was even funnier, thinking you had a chance over a man, thinking your daddy would come rescue you.
The trauma was eating me alive, I got trapped in a horrible memory of that night. I didn’t realize but my hand softly lowered the knife while tears streamed down my cheeks, I screamed for my dad to come rescue me.
This gave Jakob an opportunity to grab the knife from me, he pulled my body against his dirty chest. That’s when I snapped out of it, I wiggled in his arms trying to get away from him. His nails were digging into my hips hurting me but it didn’t stop me from trying to get away from him. I grabbed on to his face and dug my fingers in his eyes, he screamed in pain as he lost his grip on me.
I grabbed my phone from the counter and ran to my room, I tried closing my bedroom door but he was to fast. His eyes were bloodshot red, blood trailed down to his chin. He grabbed me by my hair and threw me on my bed, my head slammed against the corner of my bed frame.
Everything felt dizzy, I couldn’t focus my eyes on anything.
I felt his body climb on top of mine, I shook my head side to side aggressively. My sloppy hands hit at his chest trying to get him off of me.
No, no, no. I cried.
He chuckles while he tore off his jacket, my legs started to kick at his chest but it didn’t faze him.
Stop it, get off of me
He grabbed onto my neck with his huge hand, squeezing around it. My head tilted sideways as tears poured down my cheeks, my stomach tightened in panic. He started to remove my skirt, I decided to spit on him trying to get his disgusting body off of me.
You ungrateful bitch. He connected his fist with my cheek, my head flew to the right. Blood started to gush out of my mouth, I wanted the bed to shallow me whole.
That feeling of his weight crushing me almost ruined me, I started hyperventilating with the memory of that night. When he tried taking off my underwear that’s when I spotted my lamp, my fingers stretched trying to get it while he was to distracted kissing down my body. I finally grabbed ahold of it and crashed it down on his head, I kicked him in the balls and pushed him off of me.
I was only in my underwear and bra when I started running towards my door, I grabbed my keys off my table and whipped open my door running towards the street where my car was parked. My shaky hands turned my engine on, I immediately pulled out of the driveway and headed towards the freeway.
