Forget Me Not

Chapter Thirteen- Wilderness

"Home sweet home. Of course when Sharon, your care worker told me you'd packed your suitcase, I knew you was coming here. That's why I booked my flight and settled here before I could make my move. You can't ruin everything, not know. Louise can't have either of us now. Her precious Faye is gone. And her son, Chad, who she didn't love is gone too." Chad gets out of the car and opens the door to my side.
"Get out!" Chad pulls out his gun his pocket and holds it infront of me so I can't escape. I have to do as he says now.
I climb out of the police vehicle and walk at the side of him as he now holds a gun to my side.
"One wrong move and that's it." Chad walks up to the door and pulls out a key.

His home is small and messy. It smells of all kinds of things. I feel sick even being in here, but I have no way out.
"This is your room!" Chad pushes me through this small door to my left and locks it.
I am trapped. The room I am in now is dirty, it has a small lamp inside and a blanket on the floor. The anount of dust that lays on the floor is unreal. I turn to look at the room in horror, when I see there's a big window that's covered in dark and mouldy curtains. There is a photo on the wall. I freeze, as when I look closer I realise the photo is of me a few years back.
The window is locked and it looks that rusty that it looks like it has never been opened.
I sit on the blanket and begin to cry. None of this was meant to happen, none of it. My mother knew that Chad would come looking for her, and that's why she gave me up, to protect me. I can't believe Sharon, my care worker, kept in contact with Chad. I thought she was almost a friend to me. Back then, I had no idea I even had a brother, let alone one who was a danger to me so my mum put him in a mental hospital. He must have felt so incredibly lonely and lost, but I can't find sympathy for him.
He wanted our mum to love him and not me, no wonder she fled to America.
If he had tracked me all this time, maybe he was making sure I stayed put and didn't try and find my mum.
His words race through my mind. 'If I can't have her nobody will' it makes me shudder. He doesn't want me to find my mum because he knew she loved me and cared for me and he wants her to himself.

I can hear faint footsteps, he's walking out somewhere. Then I hear a door shut, I was alone in the middle of nowhere.
I rememer I have my phone! I can call the police, and they can contact my mum for me. I take my phone out my pocket and dial the numbers with my hands shaking.
"Police please." I say. After a few moments someone picks up. It's Luke!
"Luke, it's me." A huge rush of relief comes over me. Luke's alive, he hadn't been that injured in the shooting.
"Oh, Faye! I was so worried. We lost track of the car, but we will find you, just hold on." I hear Luke's worried voice on the other end of the phone and I hear a sniffle, was he crying with relief?
"He's my brother, Luke. He's jealous of me for being cared for by my mum. He's locked me in this small room and he's gone out." I say in a rush, there was so much to say.
"I know, I know. Your mum told me everything. I went to the hospital and found her, she's in the car with us...wait.." Before he can continue, it seems like my mum has grabbed the phone off him.
"Faye! I'm so glad your ok. I never thought he'd find you, i didn't even know he was realised from the hospital. It's all my fault." My mum cried down the phone to me. I felt so scared and happy at the same time because they were coming to save me.
"It's not, mum. I just feel so scared. Chad's locked me in a room and he's gone out. I just want to see you and to be safe." I start to cry on the phone and I can't stop myself. I just let it all out.
"Is Cam ok? I heard her scream and I was worried..." I was about to continue but my mum cut me off.
"You didn't know, hunny? Then again how could you? Cam tried to set you up. She left you that voicemail because she wanted both of us to go near the park so Chad could get us. She's been feeding information to him ever since she met you. They were friends when Chad moved here. I'm so sorry, darling." My heart's beating so fast. I can't believe after all the worrying I did over Camille, she set me up like this. I bet she didn't think i'd call the police to search for her though. She was hoping i'd bring my mum for backup while I went to the park to meet her, but my mum went to the hospital to see Grace instead.
I can't believe I was so dumb in thinking Cam was my friend. I HAD to get out of here.
"I need to break theough the window, mum. Save my number and call me back, ok?" I hang up the phone and urgently look around for something to break the window with. The lamp!
I unplug and pick up the lamp, and fling it towards the window with such force I feel my hand shake.
The glass from the lamp falls onto the dusty floor, and I fling the lamp bottom towards the window again, and 'CRASH' The glass from the window starts to fall onto the floor until there's only a few peices left at the very corners.
I put down the lamp and as I start to climb over the window ledge, I hear the front door open.
He's back. I quickly put my leg over the ledge and graze my legs on some of the remaining glass and then I jump onto the ground and run.
