"Would anyone else like to share? Saxton, how about you?" I timidly shook my head.

She stared at me. "How are you with your weekly walks to the park Saxton? Do you feel claustrophobic in any way?"

I shake my head. What she doesn't know is that I leave the house frequently now. I go to the park or the grocery store. My therapist says that I have to make things work for me. When I am in an enclosed space such as the grocery store. I need to count the exits to make sure that I can leave quickly at any time. That gives me comfort. Know at any time that I can exit. 

I leave my apartment so much because of my father. I thought I was away from him when I moved out. But he only comes to my apartment and gets me. I keep changing my locks but he keeps getting in. I have another locksmith coming today. He said it should be done by the time I leave therapy. He will leave my key with the landlord since she has to have a key anyway. My sessions are the only thing that gives me peace. She doesn't know what's going on with me because we use a lot of hypothetical scenarios to explain my situation. I can't tell anyone. He said he will kill them and then kill me.

"She's cool, Mrs. Naples. I come over and chill with her. She's good. Even learning how to burn down the kitchen, I mean she's learning how to cook."

I smiled sadly at the one friend that I managed to make here. My friend Nat. She has the patience of a saint. When I first started coming here she talked to me a lot and all I did was nod and withdraw into myself. But after months and months of talking to me I deduced that she was a troubled teen and that she was okay to talk with. My phobia doesn't let me trust a lot of people. I trust Dominique though. I smile at the thought of him. Over the two year period I managed to get his address and his phone number. I call it once a month just to hear his voice. I don't do it often or he'll get suspicious and have me traced. I followed him home once. I stand outside his gate when he has parties and watch him. He stands at the door to greet all his guests. He greets them with a nod and nothing else. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him. I will meet him real soon. I just don't know how to go about it. He's always around people or his guards. I need him alone. I want his undivided attention. I need time to convince him that we belong together.

Then he will kill my father for me and we'll live happily ever after.

I snapped back to attention when she asked me about my job. It's only a data analysis job. I work from home and enter in information the company sends me. I make enough to pay rent, bills and buy groceries. Everything else goes into savings. I love working long hours to keep my brain busy. 

"It's going good Mrs. Naples."

"Great, now, I will see you all Wednesday at 4:00 pm sharp." Everyone filed out. I picked up my phone to read my emails. My job always sends me different facility codes through my email so I can login to the facility and start the paperwork.

My phone is snatched from my hands.

"Dinner at your place,"  Nat asked.

I hesitated.

"Oh come on, you're like the only 18 year old I know with an apartment."

I smile. "Sure, what do you want to eat."

"Whatever, something simple."

"Something microwavable."

She giggled. "Yeah, that's fine. Let me go and check in with the parental units and I'll see you in about an hour or two."

I nodded and started walking home. I make sure I don't leave the area. All I need is right here. The supermarket, my therapist and the park. It's like my own little stomping ground. My perimeter. 

When I make it home I go to the front office and ask for my key. The locksmith assured me that it's sturdy and can't be jimmed.

Suddenly the hairs on the back of my neck stand. Like I'm being watched. I know that feeling. I quickly get my key and run to my apartment and lock the door.

Minutes later my lock jiggle. He inserted his old key and started banging on the door when it didn't work.

I jumped. Tears start to come to my eyes as he starts to wiggle the lock harder. Tears caught in my throat as I heard him say, "Mrs. Larkins, can I talk to you for a minute."

I heard him tell my landlord that I must be in the shower and could she let him in. Since she knows he's my father she agreed to let him in but she told him that he can't make a copy of the key without my permission.

As their footsteps get closer to the door I cry big tears. I start to step backwards down the hall towards my bedroom. As the door opens and he thanks her I run into my room and close and lock the door. I should have gotten a lock on this door also.

With every step he took down the hall the drumming and ringing became louder in my ears. I lay my back against the wall and take deep breaths. My stomach is in knots. My eyes shot open as he started beating on the door.

"Father, please go away."

"Open this door you little bitch."

"No, go away."

He starts to kick the door. Two kicks and he's in. He slaps me to the ground.

"Please, go away."  He punched me so hard that I was dazed. My father is in excellent shape. He's only in his 40's. He goes running every morning and lifts weights after.

He took that time to rip my shorts off. He grabbed the back of my neck and pinned me to the floor. He starts to work on his pants. His penis starts to prob.

"No, please."

"Saxton, you forgot your phone. Ahhh! What the hell is going on here." My father is snatched off me by Nat. She starts to beat him in the head while yelling and screaming. He threw her off and slapped her.

"Not a word of this little bitch or I'll ruin your mother and your pathetic father. I'll burn their little florist shop to the ground."

He walked off.

We sat in silence. "Tell me everything. I want to know."

So I told her. I told her how at sixteen he violated me and has been doing it ever since.

"We have to go to the police."

"No Nat, He's rich and influential. The police or a judge wouldn't do anything without hard proof."

"Then what do we do? He can't come here and violate you whenever he feels like it. I'll move in. When he comes here again. We'll record his ass."

"I have a plan, Nat."

I told her about Dominique.

"But how will you convince him?"

"I need to get him alone."

"How will you do that? If he's a mob boss he's not going to be in a hurry to help you. He probably does the same to women that your father does."

"No Nat. I've watched him for years. He doesn't rape women. They flock to him. He doesn't need to."

"Then, what you are planning won't be enough. You need to get something hard for leverage."

"How can I get leverage? I can barely get close enough to him to hear anything. Oh Nat, you should see him. He's beautiful. I can make him love me. I just know it. Once he's in love with me, I will tell him everything and make him kill my father."

She smiles. "I have a plan. He will do anything you ask after this."   

"What are you thinking."

"We're going to kidnap a mob boss."
