Just For One Day ?

Living Nightmare

We arrived in front of our building with the same anger and fear as in the plane. David didn't say one word. My father was looking at me with anger and my mother with feared eyes. Everyone excepted something from me, like if I had to repair a mistake, a huge mistake but they all didn't know that I imagined a plan during the flight. They would probably be upstairs, in our apartment so, I will bring so bag full of false dollars that I made, because you know two hours of flight it's too long for me without doing nothing, after, I will keep Duncan, by the time, my parents who stayed in the car will have call the cops and they will arrest John and Sheryl while we made our way to the nearest hotel. Everything sounded good except that David would do nothing, but I didn't expect anything from him. It was my mistake after all.
So after a long minute of reflection I exposed my plan to everybody. Everyone was listening carefully when David cut me :
-"So, you will do everything on your own ??
-Yes, because I know Sheryl and John and it's my fault if we are here today. I said determined.
-Love, I won't let you go alone, I come with you. He replied determined too.
-No, that's fine I can...
-Victoria ! My father cut me. David's right it's too dangerous. Moreover I come too !
-Shall I stay here, just for calling the cops ?? My mother demanded.
-Yes." I affirmed.
We were all mad, just like suicide people but I would have done anything for Duncan and David was in the same mood as me.

Once in front of the door, David knocked twice, just like the instructions of Sheryl. The door opened suddenly as we entered in the dark room.
"We here !" A feminine voice yelled.
I grabbed David's arm while he walked sure of him to the living room.
I looked at our apartment everything was upside down, broken, torn, distressed... Even Duncan's room. When we reached our objective only David and I were in the room. My father stayed in the corridor if the things were getting worse and worse. We stood in front of Duncan who was sleeping on the couch while Sheryl was caressing his hair.
"You know, you got a wonderful son.
She admitted.
And the coolest with him is, when you drug him, he falls instantly asleep." She smirked devilishly.
I thought I was about to faint. My lovely boy, here, on this couch, drugged by this bitch, at 3 years old !!
David didn't move or talk he had just put the bag on the ground.
"Here is your money. 100 000$, now give back my son !" He said calmly.
Sheryl stood and walk to him, slowly like if she was doing a catwalk.
"Oh, Mr Bowie...
She said.
Isn't very nice to talk to people like that."
She whispered in a husky voice.
And before he had time to say something she widely grabbed his collar and kissed him in front of me. Could you imagine ?? My best friend kissing my boyfriend under my eyes.
I wanted to scream of pain, to cry but John caught me and covered my mouth. While she finished kissing David, she took her gun from her pocket and shot him. He fell on the ground, he was still alive but he was hurt he kept his eyes opened and tried to scream of pain but he couldn't. I screamed from all my strength under John's mouth. I was literally crying, I couldn't get off this nightmare it was horrible.
Suddenly Sheryl grabbed my arms, I couldn't move anymore and John began to undressing me and unbuttoned his pants. As they put a tissue in our mouths we couldn't scream or call for some help. When David saw John's intention he tried to stand up but Sheryl shot him once again. I closed my eyes and prayed from all my soul for a miracle. I etched Duncan who was still sleeping on the couch and saw John closed to my face. When he grabbed my butt I felt myself fainted. This had to be the end of me, this time I wouldn't survive.
"Police, don't move !" A man shouted.
They both let me go, and I ran to David I was all naked but I didn't care. I wanted to know if my David was still alive.
"Calm down boy, shall we ??" A cop shouted at John while he was trying to debate himself from the cop's hand.
I was still looking at David, immobile, on the ground. My eyes were crying. I caressed his cheek which was still warm and lay my head on his chest, crying and praying at the same time for him to be alive. Suddenly my parents ran to us. My mother gave me a blanket to hide my naked body and I snuggled on her.
"The ambulance won't be long." She whispered trying to comfort me.
"Excuse me ma'am, a cop begged me,
is that your child ??"
I looked down and saw Duncan who was sleeping peacefully into a blanket in the cop's arms.
I nodded and he gave him to a nurse, by the time the ambulance had finally come. I followed them with David on a stretcher Duncan's in a nurse's arms and my parents behind me. A lot of people were in front of the entrance of the building. Paparazzis, fans, journalists... I felt bad, it wasn't quite the right time for an interview. Imagine, all these people loving Bowie or not were there to see his rise and now they're here to see his fall.
Among them, I reconized Sheryl who was forced to be laying on the car and who was following me with her eyes. You could see the anger and jealousy in her look.
I gave her a black look which meant : "I hope you will burn in Hell !"
I went in the ambulance with some nurses David and Duncan in my arms this time. My parents were following us with the car.
-"How do you feel ?? A nurse asked.
-Bad and sad. I mumbled.
-I understand. She posed. Does something hurt you ??
-No, I'm fine. I'm just ultra worried about my boyfriend's health. I admitted.
-Don't worry, I don't think he's dying. He might be in a coma.
I nodded.
-Thank you." I concluded.

I was talking with the doctor about my two boys then I left the room and joined my parents who were sitting in the patient room. By the way, the hospital lent me some clothes.
-"So what is it ?? My father asked anxious.
-He's in a coma for I don't know how long and Duncan will be waking up tomorrow. I said calmly.
-What about the damages of your apartment, the money ?? My mother demanded.
-Don't worry, the company of assurance will refund us for the apartment and as I told you, for the money, I made the bank notes on my own during the flight, incognito."
My mother smiled.
-"I'm very proud of you, your courage is bigger than the universe. My mother admitted.
-As I am. My father reconized.
But does this asshole raped you ?? He asked stressed.
-Almost, you came just at time. I explained.
-As a lawyer, I will do a everything to see this scumbag in jail ! Moreover I thought about your wish with David to have Duncan's custody, it will be possible, maybe at the end of the month, why not ??
-Thanks dad." I smiled at him.
Then I left my parents to David. He was laying in his bed, with only the "beep beep" of the heart machine. I grabbed his cold hand and mumbled in his ear :
"I'll be there when you wake up my love as you do when I was in the same case as you." I kissed his cheek and lay on the couch and fell immediately asleep in a safe place. It was the last time that I trust somebody.
