Abduction

Since I didn't understand how to arm or unarm the security system, I left that up to Rebecca. I watched my mothers Mercedes Benz drive down the stone driveway, then make a left, and out of my sight. How could I feel so loved and important this morning, and by noon I feel neglected. I dont think my mom having a girls week in California came at the best timing. I couldn't tell her that, or she'd be devastated. Anytime my parents are out of town I spend most of my time at my moms friend Kathy's house, who is our neighbor, but she, my mom & five other women were gone for the week.

I heard Rebecca coming down the stairs so I ran to the bottom of the steps to greet her. She had managed to change out of her Victoria Secret sweatpants and a tank top into a cocktail dress with heels that were sky high, within twenty minutes of our mom leaving. "Where are you going, Becca?"  "First of all, dont call me that. Second of all, Im going to Brad's party" She replied. "But Brad lives an hour away!" I argued. "I know thats why im leaving now." Brad was Rebecca on/off boyfriend. He wasn't aloud around Rebecca according to my parents, ever since they got caught having sex. "But you cant go. I'll be alone." I was so nervous to hear her answer. "GOSH JAZLYN YOU'RE 17 DAMN YEARS OLD.YOU CAN SPENT ONE NIGHT ALONE" Rebecca yelled back as she grabbed her coach purse that she had gotten for graduation. "Rebec-" I got cut off my the front door slamming. Damn she can be a bitch. Great. It's not even 1:00 PM and im left here for the rest of the day.

I had nothing to do so I decided to go down to my moms boutique that was up town. I grabbed my keys to my blue Minnie Cooper and grabbed my coat. Since I couldn't arm the security system I didn't arm it. I looked in my rear view mirror to see my oversized house. My house resembled Regina George's on Mean Girls, so i've been told. I got onto the road at hit 50 mph. I turned onto Oak Street and parked in the back. I loved being here. The boutique was gorgeous. Everything from toddler's tutus to candles. Today Tiffany was working the shop, along with Valerie & Bridget. "How are you today Jazlyn?" Valerie asked. "Pissed." I replied. I felt kind of rude for not staying and having a conversation. I went into my mothers office and turned on the tv. I sat down in the oversized bean bag chair and fell asleep watching "Keeping up with the Kardashians." I woke up and looked at the clock- 7:36PM it read. The shop stayed open until 10 tonight. I walked to the front to see that Valerie was filing her nails, Tiffany has helping a customer while Bridget was stocking shelves with monogrammed tumblers. "Bye girls!" I said walking out the door. It was dark, so I grabbed my keys out of my purse because I had a pepper spray keychain for protection, not knowing who or what was lurking.

I sped into our gated subdivion and parted my car in my mothers spot. I walked inside and turned on the lights for the living room. I was so tired so I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up to use the bathroom when I heard a noise comming from upstairs. I creeped up the stairs at quiet as I could. I heard the noise again- coming from my dads office. I walked over the the door and thats all I remember before  blacked out.
