Forever

Chapter 7 Meeting For The Last Time

I couldn't believe what had just happened. The love of my life had just been yanked away from my grip. I tried pinching myself. I know this is a dream! It has to be!

I struggle. I kick and punch and bite and do everything I can to get away from this person's hold. But then I realize who it is. It's my dad. Go figure.

Erik: What's going on!? Dad! Please... don't hurt her. I know what you did to mom. Just please stop torturing me.

Dad: We have to get out of here. Run away. The cops are gonna find me. I just want my son back and run away from that crazy bitch.

Erik: Don't even start with that shit. I know what you're trying to pull.

Dad: You don't know what I'm doing. But I don't really do either.

He lets me walk and of course, I try and run away and then I feel a sharp pain in my leg. Everything goes blank.

I wake up in a bright room and I think it's the hospital again. Everything is blurry and colorful. I hear a faint noise and I know it's my mother's voice.

Mom: Just take him and leave me alone! I don't want anything to do with you! I'm done with this shit trick you're trying to pull. Just take him! But whatever I do, please don't hurt him! I'll do anything.

The words are hard to make out but I know it's my mother and she's trying to say something about someone taking me and her begging not to hurt me. I see her. She looks at me and she has a panicked look on her face. She trying to tell me something. I don't know what she's doing but I'm scared. I close my eyes again and try to forget everything that was happening. Then everything went blank again.

I woke up to police sirens and then I hear someone struggling and punching. It was my dad trying to escape the cops. A police woman came over to me and was yelling that she needed an ambulance. There was ringing in my ears and I could hardly make out what people were saying. Where was Rebecca? Did she make it out okay? Is she alive?

The thoughts made my head spin. Not that is wasn't already but it made it spin even more. Everything was blurry.

Erik: Where is she?

I frantically looked around the scene and saw blood and police everywhere. I put my hand on my head and looked at my soaked hand. It was covered in blood.

Police Woman: GET ME THAT DAMN AMBULANCE! HE'S DYING!!
