Kidnapped

Makayla pov
I sit across from Santo at the table lost in my thoughts. I know Jacob said he doesn't love me and he said all those hurtful words but I still can't get over him. There's a part of me that doesn't believe what he said. Even though he said those hurtful words I still love him he got me through some things and distracted me from all the pain Santo has been causing me.

Santo: Makayla! He yells making me look at him quickly.

Makayla: yes?

Santo: why aren't you eating your food is going to get cold.

Makayla: oh um I'm just not that hungry.

Santo: eat now and don't make me ask you again.

I sigh and pick up my slice of pizza and start eating. As I'm eating I get lost in my thoughts again. I just don't understand what I did wrong. I know he loves me by the way he looked at me before he got in his car and left. I have to find him I can't live without him. Maybe if I am good Santo will let me start going out. I got the courage to ask him.

Makayla: Santo can I ask you something, please...I say as I set my pizza down and look at him.

Santo: go on I'm listening. He says and looks at me.

Makayla: well um since I'm pregnant I'll need to go to a doctor and we'll need stuff for the baby so I was wondering if I could go out.

Santo: like by yourself? He asks as he leans forward a little.

Makayla: well actually I was thinking that you could go to the doctor's appointments and maybe I could go to the store with you, I want you to trust me and see that I don't plan on trying to escape.

He leans back in his chair and stares at me. I can tell he's thinking by the way he's looking. He gets up and walks over to me and pulls me out of the chair and holds onto me. I feel my heartbeat quicken and my body tense up.

Santo: ok I'll make an appointment for the baby and if you're good then we can go somewhere other than the doctor. He says as he puts his hand on my lower back and pulls me closer to him.

Makayla: yes Daddy I'll clean up our plates while you go relax. I say looking up at him.

Santo: no I got them you go upstairs to my room and wait for me.

I nod my head yes as he lets go of me. I walk upstairs to his room and walk into his room and sit on his bed. That was so weird. He never offers to do that. He probably just wants some sex although he doesn't even have to ask because it's not like I have a choice. I get interrupted from my thoughts by Santo walking into his room.

Santo: would you like to do something with me? He asks as he walks over to me.

Makayla: like what? I ask already knowing what he wants.

Santo: I don't know we could watch some tv while cuddling on my bed or we could go swim in the pool.

Makayla: the first one, please. I say looking at him surprised.

Santo: ok. He says laughing at the look on my face.

I watched him lie down on his bed and grab the remote and turn the tv on. He looks at me and signals me to lie down. I lay down beside him slowly as he wraps his arm around me.

Santo: what would you like to watch? He asks looking at me.

Makayla: whatever you want to watch is fine. I say giving him a small nervous smile.

He puts a movie on and I look at the tv and start watching the movie as I got lost in my thoughts. "Why was he nice to me?" "Is he just trying to get me to trust him so he can hurt my baby?" I feel my body tense up as that thought came to my mind.

Santo pov
I was watching the movie when I felt Makayla tense up. I look at her confused and see her lost in her thoughts. I make her look at me and see fear in her eyes.

Santo: what's wrong? I ask with a confused look on my face.

Makayla: I don't want to say. She says looking down.

Santo: please tell me I won't do anything. I say as I lift her chin to look at me.

Makayla: I just don't understand why you're doing this. She says as she motions to us and the tv.

Santo: is there something wrong with wanting to watch tv with you?

Makayla: no I just... never mind. She says sighing.

Santo: tell me I want to know I promise I won't do anything to you.

Makayla: I just don't want you to hurt the baby and I know I'll probably get in trouble for saying this but I don't want my baby to be around an abuser. She says as her eyes start to water.

I sigh as she says that last sentence. I know I've hurt her but to be honest, when I found out she was pregnant and it could be mine I felt something. I wipe the tear that fell with my thumb.

Santo: look I know I hurt you and there's no excuse for what I did but I don't want to hurt you, when I found out you were pregnant I felt happy for some reason, I promise that I won't hit you ever again and I'll change for you and the baby.

Makayla: what if it's not yours are you going to continue to beat me when you find out it isn't yours? She asks as more tears fall.

Santo: no if it's not mine I will treat it like it's mine.

Makayla: can I ask you something without you hurting me...she asks wiping her face.

Santo: yes what is it?

Makayla: why did Jacob leave was it something I did, did I ruin your guy's friendship? She asks looking down.

I freeze as she asks me that question. I can't tell her that I made Jacob leave. If I tell her that then she'll always hate me and I don't want her to hate me. I've come to realize that I love her and I want her to be mine like fully mine.

Santo: no I don't know why he left he just came up to me one day and said that he didn't want to be here anymore.

Makayla: oh...ok well did I ruin your guy's friendship? She asks looking at me.

Santo: no you didn't ruin our friendship. I say as I hug her.

Makayla: Santo can we take a nap please I'm getting sleepy. She says as she looks up at me.

Santo: yes we can take a nap. I say looking down at her and kissing her.

She lays down and cuddles up to me as I wrap my arm around her. I look at her as she falls asleep. I smile as I realize that she's mine and only mine. I kiss her forehead as I close my eyes starting to drift off.
