Finding Our Love

Christmas....

Justin.

7 am is when Jaden burst through my bedroom door with Trey right behind her to wake me up, but I was already up and looking out the window over the backyard.
"Merry Christmuh daddy!"
I looked at her and smiled swooping her into my arms and throwing her over my shoulder.
"Merry Christmas baby girl." After dapping Trey up we went into the living room and began opening gifts but I was too busy staring at Trey wondering who let him in when no one was awake.
"Trey... How you get in my house?"
"Jaden let me in."
"Jaden..." I said sternly giving her the you know better look.
"I'm sorry daddy." She quickly said riding around on her Doc McStuffins scooter from Santa.
"Who's other two gifts are those under the tree?" Shaq asked and we all shrugged. Nevada grabbed the gifts to read the name tags and her face held a shocked expression.
"Who is it from mommy?" Summer asked.
"Justin it's to you from Aryanna. And Jaden this is yours from your mommy too."
"But how?" Trey took the words out of my mouth.
I saw some gifts hidden in the closet along with some other gifts so I just grabbed them all. She must have been already shopping. Jaden opened hers first to reveal a huge Olaf stuffed animal that was personalized with her name and taped to it four tickets to see Disney's Frozen on ice.
"OLAF!!!!" Jaden yelled attacking the plushed toy with hugs and kisses.
"I think I'll call you Olaf." She told it.
"That's already his name. You can't name something the same name it already has." Shaq teased her.
"Ok.. I'll call you.... FALO"
We all shook our head laughing at her.
"Are you going to open your gift Justin?" Nevada asked gently rubbing my arm for support. I slowly nodded my head then began unwrapping the tall box pausing every now and then. Finally I opened the box and inside was a big picture of the very first time I ever played football. I chuckled looking at my helmet being to big and the ball tucked under my arm because that's when it all started. "What's this?" Nev pointed out at the bottom of the picture.
Aryanna had written a note. "Even back then you managed to steal my heart." She also wrote the date that I first played along with the school.
Everyone was quiet after we opened the gifts from her, no one knew what to say to comfort each other anymore.
"I guess we should get ready to go eat." I suggested getting up from the couch and going upstairs go get dressed.

Aryanna.

"Ughh." I groaned clearing my throat but after hating myself because it took too much energy. Everyday has literally been hell, in the mornings I was beaten and in the afternoons I was raped over and over again.
"Need some water?" Krystal asked walking over with a cup. In the past month I've learned that she was actually sweet and wasn't that bad. After I was beaten and raped she would clean me up. She would sneak me and food and drinks and bring me cover since it was cold and I had to sleep in a wooden chair. She really did want to help me but if she tried to tell anyone where I was they would be after her next so I honestly understand what she was doing.
After taking my sip of water she showed me a small box.
"It's Christmas so I got you a gift." She said opening it since I couldn't.
"What is it?"
"A knife. So if you ever see the opportunity to get out of here you can use it." She smiled sliding it back into its cover and putting it under my leg in the chair.
"Thank you." I smiled.
"You're welcome."
"What are you doing up here?" Tracie asked Krystal.
"Just watching her."
"Good. I'll let you watch the little bitch until daddy gets back." And with that she left slamming the door in the process.
"You think they'll find me before it's too late?" I asked her. I've been trying to stay positive until my brothers and Justin come but now it's becoming harder and harder to do.
She nodded.
"If not.. We'll make them."

Justin.

I sat in the living room with everyone at Aryanna's moms house for breakfast talking. "Yeah I remember my sister telling Sofu about you. She was so scared that he would hate you." Autumn laughed and so did their granddad. "But I could never." Their Sofu said trying to speak clearly in English.
"Thank you." I said getting up to give him a hug.
"Es hora de que mis historias sean tranquila." Abuelita ran into the room snatching up the remote.
Everyone looked at wondering what she said "She said her stories on so everyone be quiet." Aunt Macy said. So we all decided to just go hang out in the den until it was time to eat.

After chilling with Ary's family for a while Jaden and I went to spend the rest of the day with my family.
"How you holding up baby?" My mom asked sliding a piece of red velvet cake with ice cream on the side to me.
"I'm fine." I said honestly. After finally breaking down and crying I felt a lot better being able to get that out.
"You look a lot better. Like more calm." She said patting my hand.
"I asked God for peace." I told her. She nodded and we talked some more before it was time to eat dinner.
"Justin pass the greens." Cassie asked. I passed them to her and fixed Jaden's plate. After giving it to her my phone began to ring.
"Tell them were eating dinner son." My pops said. I nodded my head pulling my phone out and declining Krystal's call for the third time today. I knew it wasn't anything but some bull shit that I wasn't about to entertain.
