The rollercoaster of life

Dad

I open my eyes and it's still very dark, I look to make sure that the boys are still sleeping, and sure enough, they are I get up carefully and get dressed in the dark. “D…Dante” I hear one of the boys whisper. I slowly approach the bed again “Don't…Don't do it” DJ says tossing and turning.

“Dante….come back” I hear Trent whisper, “Oh guys. I can fix this” I whisper. I grab a piece of paper and write a note on it for the boys, I then grab my keys and phone and quietly make my way upstairs. I slowly shut the basement door and see Miss Amy and the boys sleeping in the front. I slowly make my way to the door trying not to trip over anything.

I make it to the front and grab the doorknob “ Where are you going” I jump at the sudden voice I turn around and see Parker standing there rubbing his eyes “Oh Parker I…I'm j…just going for a quick drive go back to sleep” I whisper to him. “Mmm okay,” he says and goes back to bed. I slowly open the door and lock it making my way to my car, once I am in I sit there for a second “We can do this” I whisper and start the car.

I have been driving for two hours I finally stop the car at the bottom of the hiking trail, of course, it's blocked off so I grab my stuff and start making my way up, getting cuts on my arms but making sure I always keep my balance for the baby. I finally make it to the top where there is a beautiful view, a bench, and a very big tree a few feet away. I place down a note on the bench and then climb into the tree, I lay sideways slowly drifting off to sleep.

*Snap* I jump up grabbing my hunting knife from my pant leg, I look around and see someone sitting on the bench he faces to me and I see the guy from the picture that Trent showed me. “So you must be Dean,” the guy says getting up and facing me but leaning on the bench. “It's Adenna,” I say sitting up, “I assume you have come to see your father,” he asks “Yes I am here to see Leon” I nod

“He said that you would likely call him that” the guy chuckles. “Where is he,” I ask annoyed, “He's busy at the moment” the guy crosses his arms “ Okay then tell him that I tried now he needs to leave me alone,” I say and hop out of the tree. “Woah where are you going,” he asks “I don't have time to wait around for him. If he sends one of his goons then this wasn't important to him so I'm out of here” I say and start walking away.

“Hey don't walk away from me,” he says roughly grabbing my shoulder “ Don't touch me” I grab his hand and twist making his arm go to his back. I kick the back of his knee making him fall I press my knee on his back and hold him down with the knife slightly poking his other arm.

“Woah I was just going to tell you he's already on the way,” he says trying to get out of my hold. “Stop moving. How far is he” I demand “Get off of me” he groans “Answer my question first,” I say pushing down harder “Ah Ah okay okay. He said he should be here in five now can you get off,” he says and I do get off of him jumping back.

“Gosh what is the matter with you” he rolls his eyes dusting himself off “I don't like people touching me without my permission” I shrug walking over to the bench. “Yes, you never did like being touched” I hear his haunting raspy voice. I turn around and there he is “Adenna it's been a long time,” Leon says leaning against the tree.

“For me maybe” I cross my arms “Ah so you've already caught on. I was wondering when you would” Leon shrugs “So shall we get to the reason why you are here,” he asks and I nod “First that's a new cut you got there where'd you get it from,” I ask looking at the cut running down from his chin to the bottom of his neck.

“Oh one of your little friends gave me this,” he says showing me properly. “I see so it was you who took him,” I say clawing into my arms “He needed to be taught a lesson and he was trying to keep us apart” he tries to reason “Why did you send his clover to us,” I ask “Us?” He answers with a question “Just answer” I say annoyed.

“I sent it to him because he never should have touched you. You're mother told me” he says and just then a feel a piece of my heart break off. “So mom is working for you,” I ask “Oh no quite the opposite I am working for your mom,” he says and I feel nauseous.

“What the hell does that mean,” I ask getting angry “You see all of those people that I killed were for your mother. In the police academy, everyone took her as a joke just because she was a girl. People messed with her, harassed her. So I did what any loving husband would do for his wife I fixed the problem one by one” he says with a haunting smile. “When you're mother found out what I was doing she was the one who told me about this spot, and she continued telling me who to kill, she even told me to kill random people so it's not easy to link together,” he says and I dig deeper into my arm, feeling more nauseous.

“Okay. I just wanted to know for myself. Oh and by the way, mom has it wrong he's not the one who got me pregnant” I say and Leon tilts his head. “Then who did,” he says in a demanding tone. “It was that private investigator you hired,” I say and his face becomes red with anger. “You didn't notice that this was happening” Leon grabs the guy. “HEY,” I bark getting both of their attention.

“I ONLY CAME TO SAY LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE. AND YOU'RE ADDING TO MUCH STRESS TO THE BABY SO BACK OFF” I yell and then I immediately feel my guts starting to come up, I run to the bush and throw up. “Honey” I feel a hand on my back “DON'T TOUCH ME” I yell shoving him away. “Just stay away from them” I wipe my mouth and run down the trail, getting away as far as I can.
