I always caught her talking to someone, but she wouldn't tell me who. Day after day, I had to take care of myself more and more. Mother just said I was becoming more independent, so I was ignoring her.

That didn't excuse her from talking into a closet.

One day, before I went to bed, I walked by her bedroom, seeing a terrified look on her face while she talked.

"One moment." She says, and walks to the door. She puts her arms around me, and squeezes me tight,"I love you." Mother whispers.

I feel her slip something into my robe pocket. I hug her back,"I love you too."

She quickly walks back into the room, and shoo's me away.

I lay down on the bed, and pull out the note. All it says is Help. He wants to take me.
