Gone forever?

Chapter 23

"Yep it's me." He said. I started crying. He bent down at the chair in front of me. "Hey, why are you crying?" he asked. "Where were you?! You promised you would come back, but you didn't! Why dad? I waited 6 years for you! You never came back." I yelled. He sighed. "Look..." He started. I cut him off. "No, you look you were right about you being the reason I'm in a orphanage. It's all your fault! Just get me and Jonah out of here, so we can go back to church. Where we were heading in the first place." I yelled. I looked down. "Jonah, who's he?" He asked. I looked up at him. He couldn't possibly forget his own son. Could he? "Your son." I told him. He had a confused look on his face. I sighed. "Just get me out of here." I told him. He started to untie me from the chair. Once I got out of the chair I started running. But I was picked up by my dad. "Let's go. You've never been here before, and lucky for you, I have." He said while caring me out the door. He walked to his car and sat me down in the back seat and he hopped in the drivers side. "Look the reason I never came back is because I was threatened. A man wanted your mother all for himself. And if I went back to the house, you, your mother and Jonah, would be dead. He said he would kill you guys in a heartbeat. I didn't want that to happen. So I never came back." He told me while driving. "Then why did you leave in the first place?" I asked him. "Well when you mother and I got into a fight, I would always go for a walk. I walked down to a bar about three miles away from home, and that's were the man threatened me." He told me. I sighed. "I'm sorry for thinking that you left me on purpose, I should have let you explain." I told him. "It's ok. And I'm sorry too. I should have been there for you more but I wasn't." He told me. We pulled up toward our bus that was still in the middle of the road. "What did you do to make our bus do that?" I asked him. "I threw a stink bomb in the back window and it made everybody black out while I snuck you to my car." he told me. "How long have I been gone?" I asked him. "Oh I say a couple hours at least." he told me. He stopped the car and pulled over. We got out and I immediately saw Mrs. Kendra crying her eyes out. I ran up towards her. "Mrs Kendra?" I asked. She looked up at me and I saw just how red her eyes were. "What happened to you?! Where have you been? You've had me worried sick!" She said while standing up and giving me a big huge hug. "I'm sorry, my dad kidnapped me so he could talk to me. He's right over there." I said while pointing in his direction. But he wasn't there. And neither was his car. She sighed. "I think you got a concussion from that wreck. Cmon, we better get you to a doctor." She said while taking my hand. We walked to a group of kids loading up on another bus. I hoped on and I was immediately greeted by all of my friends. I sat down in the only empty seat, which was the one right behind the driver. Mrs. Kendra hopped on and sat next to me. "Ok, let's get this bus to church, before where anymore late." She said. The bus started moving and we were in our way to church. Mrs Kendra kept checking my head to see if I was bleeding. "Only a few little cuts, that all." She told me. We finally came to a stop at the church. When I came out of the bus, I was greeted by news reporters and crowds of people all shouting my name. But one person really caught my attention. I looked and saw her. I smiled and ran up too her. "I missed you so much mom." I told her while hugging her.
