Perfect

Trying to be as normal as possible

'Get her out of the car, quickly, quickly.....hurry up!' I heard one of Robert's men call out to another. Was I dead? I sure felt like I was. Everything was dark. Then light poured in through what I assume to be the boot of the car, it blinds my eyes, my head twitches back. Where is he going to take me? I saw a pair of hands grab me, the next thing I knew I was being dropped and un-tied. 'You're free to go, just remember our agreement.' the tall man mumbled into my ear, then Robert came out of the car, with.....fake blood on his face. What on earth?

'Come on Rosa...' he gestures for me to go forward, as I take a step he puts an arm around me, I try to shrug it off, put his grip is tight. I look at his face, he has done it up with bruises and cuts as well, why? DING DONG! The doorbell rand around the house, my mum opened it straight away. Seeing it was me she immediately embraced me in a hug. 'Where were you? I was so worried, my baby....' she mumbles into my hair. She wouldn't of noticed Robert until he coughed. 'Robert, did you find her?' she asked her 'boyfriend' as if, he didn't love her. 'Rosa actually found me, she came around my houses and she started shouting and....' he pointed to his face and gestured to my wrists which were bright pink from the rope. 'She just attacked me, she said something about me being a drug dealer or something? Which is really not true!' Robert sniffled. WHAT ON EARTH? He was turning the truth into a lie. I hate him! 'No mum...' I beg to her. She doesn't believe me. 'No Rosa, there is no excuse for what you did. You know that Robert is not a drug dealer, never hurt anyone again, do you understand? You have already offended Robert. He is a nice, kind gentleman. Thank you Robert, I shall deal with her inside....' Mum lectures as she ushers me inside and shuts the door on Robert.

'Mum, he was lying, I swear!' I cry as I open the fridge to get a bottle of water, I chug it down in seconds. 'Then where did you go?!' she screams at me. Where did I go? I would like to know. 'I went.... for a walk, in the park...' I quickly think up out the up of my head, I know it sounds really stupid, but what else would I say? I was kidnapped in the middle of the night, I didn't leave a note and I arrived back home at 7:30AM. 'In the middle of the NIGHT!......Rosa, I understand you are having a hard time, but there was no need to go for a walk in the middle of the night. You could of been hurt or, you could get lost. You didn't even leave a note, or a text, or anything. I was so worried about you.' mum shouts, but then she calms down. I wish I could tell her the truth, but she would never believe me. 'Mum, I'm sorry. I didn't think. But I did send a text, maybe it didn't get to you. Sorry.'  I grin as I pull mum into a hug.

'But hang on, why would Robert lie about you attacking him, it sounds stupid, I know you wouldn't attack anyone. Why did he lie? Or are you lying?' mum questions, she was getting suspicious, I don't blame her, I would be too. 'I'm not lying mum. I swear I'm not. I don't know why Robert lied. Maybe he is drunk, or he has a twisted memory or something.' I reply, unsure of what to say. 'Ok Rosa, I think you should go to your room now to get some rest.' mum says shakily. 'Ok.' I mumble as I climb up the stairs.

It felt so good to be back in my warm bed, with my duvet wrapped around me tight. Of course I had a shower and I changed clothes after what happened. The marks on my legs and wrists have begun to disappear, leaving only a few faint pink grooves. It hurts to touch them and it makes moving very difficult. It was Sunday and I was lying in bed, doing nothing but think. I thought about school and homework. Homework. Oh no. It was Sunday and I have done none of my homework at all. I shot up out of bed and I grabbed my laptop. I had around 24 emails from Lottie saying about my homework, some stuff I couldn't do because I had to be in the lesson, but other than that. OH DEAR.

I spent the rest of the Sunday doing my homework and just laying in my room. Mum came in a few times to check on me and bring me some food, I only ate a few things because I still have to lose some weight. I put all my homework in a neat pile on my desk and I check the time 6:14PM. How time flies when you're "having fun". It felt like 100 hours. All the time though I couldn't stop thinking about Robert. I think that I will never be able to forget him and our promise. I will never be normal again, even if I try.
