Don't Forget About Me

Chapter 25

It's very quiet in this room like they have it sound proof or something which puts an unsettling feeling in my stomach. Maybe I shouldn't have told him about me being pregnant. What if he tried to hurt me and hurt the baby instead. Too many things running through my mind and I can't clear them out. I suddenly hear someone opening a door then I hear voices before the door is shut and back to silence. Someone reached in front of me and removed the gag from my mouth but left the head cover. 

“Mr. Riggs wants me to give you a lesson Ms. Scott.” A voice is talking and it's hard for me to tell where he is in the room. “What kind of lesson?” I say with a shaky voice that I am trying to control. “First I need to ask you a few questions and the lesson will be determined by your answers.” Fucking more questions, I dont know what else they want me to say. “I told you everything that I know about that night, there is nothing else so just get on with it.” I sound a little more irritated than I probably should have. “What do you know about your Father?” What the hell? “What does that have to do with anything? My father left my mom and I when I was little. I barely remember him.

”What the fuck is going on here. “Do you remember what he did for work?” This man is pissing me off. “I dont know accounting maybe, I was a fucking child and don't remember anything else. My mother said he was bad news and he  didn't want to be in my life.” I heard him behind me now/ He reached his hand around and grabbed my throat. My breathing was restricted as he clamped down harder. “Think Ms. Scott about your father, what do you remember about him?” I try to move but can't because I am still restrained and blind. I try to talk and he notices. 

“Talk Ms. Scott.” I shake my head trying to get my breathing back to normal. “I don't know what you want from me. My mom said he was not a good guy, that's why he left. He hasn't tried to get in contact with me at all over the last twenty years. Why do you want to know about him?” I could tell that my voice was hoarse and my throat hurt. “I will tell Mr. Riggs what you told me about your father but I suggest that you try to think a little more about him.” Before I could speak again I had the gag back in my mouth and couldn't speak again.

After what it feels like sitting in here forever I start to doze off. I'm not sure if it's because I am actually tired or if it's because I am just exhausted. 

“Jonathan, what are you doing?” my mommy says as she points at my father. “I can't stay here Sam, all I'm doing is putting you and Kelsey in danger.” She's crying, why is mommy crying? “We can figure this out, please don't leave us, I can't do this without you.” I don't want to get in trouble because I am supposed to be in bed but I heard mommy and daddy fighting. I move down the stairs once more and it makes a squeak. Both my parents turn and see me. “I'm sorry, I just heard you two arguing and it scared me.” My daddy came over to me and picked me up. “It's ok princess, I'm sorry if we woke you but I have something important to tell you.” I wrap my arms around him and give him a hug. “What do you need to tell me daddy?” I give him all of my attention. “I have to go away for a while but I want you to know that I love you very much. I will come back when the time is right but it might not be for a while. I need you to promise me that you will be a good girl and help mommy with everything that she needs, ok?” I start to tear up because I don't want daddy to leave. Mommy is crying really hard now and it makes me sad. “Why do you have to leave daddy, that's not fair.” I give him the biggest hug because It won't be too long before daddy comes home. He always comes home. “I love you Kelsey and I will always be watching over you.” 

I woke up to a loud bang and had no idea how long I had been out. I try to look around but it's still dark because of this thing on my head. Can't scream either. Someone is wiggling the handle on a door. I start to hum against the gag in my mouth. Just as I try to make more noise there is another loud band and it feels like it's right near my head. 

“There's someone in here, boss.” A man yells out of the room and comes near me to take the head covering off. I try to focus my eyes but they are all out of focus and it's still pretty dark. He grabs the gag from my mouth next and all I can do is try to push my lips together and swallow because my mouth is so dry. I let out a small whisper. “Who are you?” I ask not even sure if he could hear me. “Kelsey thank god you're ok.” Os, that's Os’s voice. A feeling of relief came to my chest when I realized it was him. But what happened to his father and his men? 

“Os, how did you find me?” He grabbed my face and landed a kiss on my lips. It wasn't sweet, it was demanding and wanting. He reached down and realized that I was chained. He yelled to one of the men to get him some bolt cutters. The guy came quickly from the command and they started to cut. After I was free Os helped me to my feet. I am so weak that I have to put my weight on him to walk. He quickly realizes this and just picks me up like I'm nothing and takes me out of the building to a waiting car. When we get outside I am glad that it's dark because I don't know if I can deal with the sun right now. “How did you find me?” I say realizing that my voice is still hoarse.

“Shh, keep quiet baby, I will take care of you now.” He was sitting on the seat in the suv as I laid across his lap and he rubbed my head. I don't know how he found me but why did his father just leave me. Something doesn't feel right about this situation and definitely puts me on edge a little but with Os next to me I can relax a little bit and that's exactly what I intend to do.
