My celebrity crush

Chapter 3: kidnapping a kid

ROBERT'S POV :

"It's almost 10 pm , we should go to the shelter and get some sleep ", I say and Crystal nods in agreement. Picking up Hazel once again , I lead the way to the shelter I found , holding her in my arms makes me sad but also makes me realize I need to become very responsible in older to take care of the little girl.

Her parents are alive , but I don't want her childhood to be taken away from her , I don't want her to be raised by selfish people .

      When my parents got married , they loved each other so much , they shared in each other's happiness and sorrows and a year after , they had me .

     At this time my dad was only working as a secretary for some well known company while my mum just tried out different business ideas in order to achieve her dream of owning her own company . 2 years later , my mum started her own fashion line and it became successful and a year later my dad joined , which made them partners.

       At first , dad wasn't comfortable with the idea of working with rich and famous people from all around the world , but eventually he adapted . He made friends , started going on business trips and vacations at fancy places , but unfortunately the association he found himself in didn't value women and it started to rub off on him .

      By the time I was 7 , he kicked mum out of business somehow , made her stay home , never allowing her to leave the house and made her feel worthless , he also neglected me and never spent any time with me .

      He became fearful that mum would turn me against him , so he would always take me with him on all his business trips and just hire a nanny to look after me , depriving me of my childhood. While on these trips I saw him spend time with a lot of women and when I asked him who they were he would slap me and tell me it's none of my business .

      When I turned 10 , I went with him once again and saw him with another woman , I couldn't just stay quiet , I said nothing to him but told mum as soon as we got home .     
        She confronted him and he didn't even try to deny it , he shamelessly admitted his horrible crime and with no regret in his eyes he threw mum out . He tried to keep me with him and A week after divorcing mum , he married the same woman he had an affair with , she worked as a model and from my point of view I think they suit to be together .

I've seen this woman and she's mean to the core , in the month I lived with them she beat me and threatened she'll do something to my mum if I tell dad anything about it . I eventually moved out after mum won the case about who's going to keep me . But Hazel's mum is horrible .

She cares about nothing but her looks and that's why I feel sorry for Hazel . I at least grew up with a mother's love , but she only has 2 selfish parents .

       The day I turned 18 I promised myself that one day I'll take her out of that horrible place and raise her with all the love an 18 year old boy can give and now that I'm 19 I can do what I promised myself. I lied about being called to China , I'm just using this as an excuse to take Hazel away.

        We arrive at the shelter , it only has a small bulb outside it , only lighting up the front door . I look at Crystal and for the first time I see her frightened . The girl who fearlessly chased away mean girls who bullied her older sister away from their house , the girl who won arm wrestles with her dad , the same girl who didn't care about anything happening around her . Well I guess everyone has their fears , hers is darkness or she could just be home sick.
