My All

Part 47

Wilma walked into the room fuming. "What were you thinking? This wasn't the plan! You weren't supposed to use that card yet."

"I didn't know what else to do. He had her bracelet in his pocket and first he lied to me that he had just found it, that it wasn't hers. So, I just exploded and did the one thing I knew would get his attention."

"You better get it now and don't lose it."

"I don't know, I think Deborah missing is even worse. His mind is not here. I am sure that all he's thinking about is finding her."

"Don't worry about that. He won't find her."

"Wilma, do you know where she's at?" Wilma smiled and stroked July's hair. "You had something to do with her disappearance, didn't you?"

"You don't need to think about any of this. I did all of this for you, for your happiness."

"You really hate her. Why is that? She's not from here."

"She actually is, she was born here. Her mother was born and raised here. I married real young. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't forced. I married Michael because he had money. Then this handsome and wealthy man came into town, his car had broken down. He walks into the diner. She was working there, as was I."

"She?"

"Deborah's mother. She and I looked at each other, both of us wanting to get to that table first. She was closer, he saw her and fell madly in love with her, while I fell madly in love with him and he only saw me as a sister, he said. So you see, I hate her for who her mother was, she took the man I loved far away from here. And I don't want her nowhere near my son."

"What made her come back here?"

"When she first came, she had run away from home. Her brother came and got her, I thought that would be the end of that. Then Shawn had to go and get her back. And she has stayed because she still has family left here."

"Does she?"

"She does, but she doesn't know who they are and she will never know either." She laughed.

"He still won't forget her. He will always love her."

"Honey, you'll come first again. I just needed to take that obstacle out and he will come crawling back. Not as soon as you might want, but soon, you will see. Okay?" Wilma said as July nodded. "Now, I am going to go get him. Try to stay calm when you talk to him. Remember, there is no one between you and him now."

Wilma left the room and a few minutes later, Shawn walked in. "I'm sorry." She cried as soon as he walked in. "I killed our baby."

"Don't say that." He said walking towards her. He grabbed her hand and kissed it. "How do you feel?"

"Guilty, mad, sad. This was our baby, Shawn." She rubbed her stomach.

"I know, I am sorry too. Maybe I am the guilty one." He said as a tear fell down his cheek.

Nelson walked into the room and turned on the bright light. Deborah shut her eyes tight. He walked towards her and took the gag off. "Please, I need to relieve myself." She cried.

He walked away and brought back a bucket, he helped her up and untied her. "Go in there. Hurry up and don't try anything, the door is locked."

She grabbed the bucket and went to one corner of the room. She looked at Nelson, but his back was towards her. She quickly did her business and left the bucket there. She walked back to the bed and he turned around with the rope in his hands. "Please, can't you just let me without them? The rope is rubbing my skin raw."

"No, sorry. Can't have you knocking on the door. Hence your gag too. Can't have you screaming at night. Lay down." She did as she was told and he tied her up again. After he was done, he helped her sit up and grabbed the bag he had brought with him. He took out food and offered it to her. She opened her mouth and took a bit of the burger he brought.

"Are you going to kill me?" She asked him when she took the last bite.

"That's not my decision." He got up and threw the trash in the bag.

"But, I am your daughter."

"I didn't even know she got pregnant that night." He turned around away from her.

"Who is my family, please tell me. If I'm going to die anyway, what does it matter?"

"I can't. Lay back down." He said as she lay down and he put the gag back on. He walked out and locked the door, she was back in the darkness.

Wilma came in later that night. She locked the door behind her. "I see Nelson has been feeding you. You do remind him of your mother." She went over and took the gag off.

"You're horrible. I hope one day you rot in hell." Deborah spat.

"I would watch your mouth if I were you." There was a knock on the door and Wilma panicked. Deborah yelled but the gag was shoved quickly back in her mouth. Wilma composed herself and went to open the door. "What can I do for you, John?"

"What are you doing around these parts, Mrs Wilson?" John asked, trying to look inside. Deborah started shifting in the bed trying to make noise. She tried to shift to the edge of the bed and ended up falling. "What was that?"

"Oh, that was nothing, dear. I'm just taking care of the place for a friend."

"You're friends with Nelson Rollins?"

"We go way back."

Deborah tried kicking the table next to her making some things fall to the ground. "Mind if I come in?"

"Sorry, but I have to finish here and head back to the hospital, you know. I'm fine, it's just the cat." And she closed the door when he walked away. She quickly made her way to Deborah and pulled her up by her hair. "What do you think you're doing?" She hissed. "You're so done." She took a hunting knife out and was about to stab her when the door flew open.

"Put the knife down, now, Mrs Wilson." John said, pointing a gun at her. She looked back and saw John standing next to Nelson.

"You betrayed me!" She yelled at Nelson as she lunged at him.

John tackled her down. An officer walked in and released Deborah of her bind. "Are you okay?" John asked her.

"Yes, I just want to get out of here." They pulled her out and as they walked by the door she looked up at Nelson. "Thank you." And walked away.
