21.12.2009

Today is a real winter day. It was snowing, and I sat up in bed and talked to my friend Dora. We giggled and talked about my crush. He was a year older than me and his name was Noah. He had short blonde hair. and brown eyes. He was irresistible. I have light brown hair and dark brown eyes.Dora didn't like him, but she kept listening to me talk about him.As I was talking to Dora, my mother entered my room. She opened the door and leaned against it. She smiled at me and quietly and politely told me to come have lunch. I smiled at her. "Dorie, I have to go now, so I'll call you later, pusa," I said to Dora and ended the call."Mom, what did you make for lunch?" I ran towards my mom in a hug. She grabbed me by the shoulder and said, "What you like the most. Spaghetti with sauce."

"Thank you, mom, you're the best," I told her and gave her a warm kiss on the cheek, after which I ran to the kitchen to see my food. Lucia and dad were already feasting, and I sat next to dad."Mom makes the best food," said dad. And I happily exclaimed, "Of course.After lunch, Lucia said to her mother, "Mom, I would like something sweet." And her mother said to her: "Honey, we don't have anything sweet in the house."

I heard their conversation and added, "Mom, I can go buy something sweet, since I'm hungry too.""Okay Lori, I'll give you money," my mom told me.I was really craving something sweet and I was happy to eat something. I went to change my clothes. I put on jeans and a red warm sweater. I went to the hall. I put on my leather boots and put on a black jacket. I was waiting for my mom with the money.Susie placed the money in my hands and her warm hand was now on my cheek. "Just be careful, you know those gangs are here," Mom said worriedly. It was stupid for me, because I thought I would never meet them. They were called Tokio Hotel, I don't know what they look like, I just know that people are afraid of them, but I wasn't thinking about them right now, I was thinking about my sweets.I put my hand on my mom's, a little annoyed that she was worrying so much, and told her "Mom, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Mom kissed my hand and I started towards the door. I waved at my mom, and at that moment I had no idea that I would not return to my house.

It was a cold day, there was a bit of a rave. I quickly got to the store and bought sweets for myself and Lucia. When I left the store, I looked at the bag with my sweets. I was returning home, it only took me about 10 minutes to get to the apartment. I noticed a black Audi pulling up slowly next to me.The black windows rolled down and behind the wheel was a man with small black braids, and in the passenger seat a man with short hair similar to the one behind the wheel, only more like a woman.

The man behind the wheel said to me "What's a little girl doing alone on this cold day", to which the one in the passenger seat just said to him "Tom..." Now I found out that the man behind the wheel and with the braids called him Tom, and the other do not know yet.I was a little scared and immediately thought of Tokio Hotel. I answered him, "Drive on." I turned my head and started walking a little faster. I was scared, I just wanted to get home. The black Audi was now slowly driving by me, and Tom was telling me something, I didn't know what, because I wasn't even listening to him.

I ignored him and just moved forward. Suddenly I heard the door open and close. I turned to see what I heard. It was Tom. He was tall, with a beautiful build. I was 1.65 and he was maybe 1.86. He was coming towards me, and I started to run away. Now I was sure it was the Tokio Hotel. I heard his rough footsteps running towards me.

Suddenly, I felt his heavy hands grab my shoulders and pull me close to his body. His hands were holding mine and were below my waist. I cried, I was scared. He moved the hair from my right ear and then said to me "Girl, be honest and tell me, do you know who we are?"I shivered, knowing they were Tokio Hotel."Tokyo Hotel" I trembled as I said it. Now his hand moved from my hair to my waist as he whispered in my ear "You're a smart girl." My bag of sweets is now was on the floor. I tried to get away from him, but it was not possible because he was very strong.

"Where do you want to go?" he said to me still pressing me to him. "please let me go" I said as a tear ran down my cheek. Now he turned me towards him. One of his hands was still on my waist and the other on my chin. He was huge and tall and had black piercings. on his lips. His lips came close to mine and he whispered "I can't let such a sweet girl go away from me"I was frozen and I just looked at him and he told me "You're coming with me." Then I screamed at him and told him "I won't, let me go"
I didn't feel safe, I knew my parents were already worried. I just wanted to come home with sweets and call Dora. When I screamed at him, he took me by the hair and started dragging me towards the car. I screamed in pain and I saw that other man getting out of the car, and Tom told him, "Bill, take her and put her in the car."

Then Bill took me in his arms, and I panicked and cried. "You're sure of that," said Bill, looking at Tom with a little stare. Tom walked quickly to the driver's door and glared at Bill, telling him, "Yeah, just do it." "Bill then took out a syringe from his pocket and injected it into my mouth. I felt dizzy and then passed out.
