This Is Not A Goodbye

chapter two: the figure

._._._._

One thing I've learned in this crazy world is that everyone has secrets whether if its that you stole your brothers ice cream or the fact that your stepdad cheated on my mom with my best friend and on top of that knew what was happening and didn't tell me

I approached the bridge trying to hold back my tears as I noticed a dark shadow figure on my right facing the bottom of the bridge part of me was scared but the other part wanted to ask who it was gosh I'm crazy
Until my phone rang it was the police I wonder what they were calling me for

"hello" I answered

"Hello is this Zoe anderson??" They replied

"yes it is" trying to keep my tears from falling

"I'm sorry ms.Anderson but your dad just got into a car accident and didn't make it,I'm so sorry for your lost" she said

I dropped my phone onto the floor and kneeled down onto the ground I couldn't believe what I just heard the feeling of losing him made my tears fall heavier than the rain that was falling I loved my dad so much how can this happen to him

I suddenly felt a hand pressed on my shoulder the dark figure was a man from how blurry my eyes are he's in his twenties and has a small tattoo on his wrist I raised my head up to face him and he bent down towards me to see me closer

He lifted me up and placed me on a bench sheltering me from the rain as it started falling heavier then sat next to me he didn't say anything not even a simple 'what are you crying for' but I couldn't care less my dad just died and I'm sitting here wondering if he's gonna say something what is wrong with me

I stand up without saying a word and walked back to the bridge wanting to jump off but I didn't instead I felt a little light headed and fell onto the ground

I woke up to a light above my head not knowing where I am omg was I kidnapped nah no one would want me I'm just pure pain and torture my family proved that I mean at least my dad loves me but he's gone now so I have basically no one.

I slightly raise up and someone approached me

"You shouldn't do that" he says in a dark tone its kinda scary

"oh..I'm sorry" I stutter god I'm an idiot

"What's your name" he says

"zoe" I respond in a hufty voice

"last name?" He questions while rolling his eyes god what is his problem

"anderson" I replied slightly smiling

"Whats yours?" I question

"you don't need to know that" he replies I felt my eyes widened at that statement

"um..ok I'm ..sorry" I said stuttering

"its Adam salvador" he says while rolling his eyes at me I can tell that he is not a people person

"what were you doing at that bridge"he asks still in a dark tone

" oh..um I was just blowing off some steam" I replied hesitantly not sure what to say. I could tell by his glare that he knows I'm lying I turned my head facing the painting on the wall until he walks up to me and places his hand onto my chin turning me to face him

"Are you lying to me" he says with a stern face

"nope" I said as I swallowed the big lump in my throat

"zoe don't lie to me" he says

"My dad die and I don't see a reason to live any longer besides where am I and why did you save me you could've left me there" I blurt god why can't I keep my mouth shut

"you are at a special hospital,no need to worry" he says in calm tone

I laid back down and slowly drifted away the meds made me kinda drowsy

*Adam*

I walk out the room as Dawson my bodyguard approaches me

"the deed is done sir mr.Anderson was taken care of" he says

"good now get more guards by this door we got his daughter now hopefully she will tell us where the file is make sure no one goes in or out of this room" I instructed

I hope she actually has lithe information about where the file is I mean she did live with him for eighteen years I plan on keeping her with me until she gives us the information I need and I certainly hope she doesn't fuck us over like her dad did but after all it was taken care of

The file consists of all transactions for every bank in new York it also has leverage I can use on bankers and special workers

I left the hospital and went home to see my mom and father at the table ready to eat. My dad looks at me with anger in his eyes

"where have you been you disappeared for four hours" my father rumbles god I hate him

"out I'm a fucking adult I don't have to tell you where I have been its none of your business" I said with my jaw clench and hand wrapped in a ball

Of course I'm not gonna to tell him about zoe or he will ruin all my plans with this operation ,my father is a very sly and greedy person and doesn't care about the consequences for his actions

"hey love" my mom greets and I nod

Im trying to figure put a plan on what to do with zoe I have to trick her into telling me where the file is. Part of me says that she might not know what file I'm taking about and the other says that she is pretty convinced either way I will get it put of her one way or another
