Daddy's Little Girl

Chapter 13

I wake up in my bed not remembering how I got there. I guess dad carried me. Owww! I have a terrible headache. Everything dad told me was a bit much and overwhelming. How dare he suggest I leave everyone I love! I may be in danger, but what if sending me away, puts the others I love at risk? I won't allow that to happen! Nope. I refuse. I get up and take a shower, then put some clean one on and go downstairs. I fix me a big bowl of lucky charms and decide to watch some tv. Mom and dad join me. She looks over at me and says, "It's going to be okay darling. Your dad told me what's been going on. I just want you to know, I'm here for you and we're going to fight through this together. I may not be your birth mother but since the moment Gisela brought you over from school, I have grown to see you as my own. I love you Nicole." I hug her and tell her, "Thank you, so much for welcoming me into your home and family with arms wide open, when you didn't have to. You could had just seen me as G's friend but instead you treated me as your daughter. You've been more of a mom to me in these last two years, than my biological mother has my whole entire being. I'm grateful to have you as a mom." She lets a tear fall while hugging me back. I let them talk as I decide to go back upstairs. After an hour or so, I fall back to sleep.  "Nicole behind you!" Gisela tells me. I turn to see a black van speeding and headed straight for me. A big buff guy covered in tattoos jumps out and grabs me, taking me away. The last thing I heard was my sister yell, "NICOLE!! Nicole! Nicole! Wake up! It was only a dream!" I open my eyes and start to cry. She pulls me into a hug. "It was only a dream sis. It's okay." She tells me. I choke up and whisper, "G they got me. They actually got me!' She says, "Shhh. It's okay. It isn't going to happen. They aren't going to get you." I shake my head and tell her, "G, it felt so real though. The guy grabbed me right in front of you, but I was out of your reach, to try and save me. You yelled my name and that was the last thing I heard." She holds me tighter and says, "It's not going to happen. I won't let it. Especially if I'm right there. Chances are they would kill me or take me as well. Because I'm not letting anyone we don't know, go near you. I will fight til my last breath if I have to. This J guy isn't taking my big sister away from me." I sigh and say to her, "I love you G." She says back, "I love you too. I'm going to call Daniel and have him and Scott come over. You need to explain to him what's going on. He is your boyfriend and he loves you very much Nicole. He deserves to know." I nod and let her go to her room. I bury my face in my pillow and scream. I have no idea how I'm going to explain to babe what's going on. I hear the doorbell ring and Gisela shouts, "I GOT IT!" I go to the bathroom to wash my face and hope he doesn't notice I've been crying. I'd rather just cuddle with him and talk to him later about it all. My thoughts are interrupted when he walks into my bedroom. "Babe you in here?" He asks. I walk out the bathroom and hug him. He hugs me back then says, "I miss you at school with us. It just doesn't feel the same or right without you there. I'm almost at the point of getting suspended myself. It's been a hard week." I sigh. "Baby, don't get in trouble. It's going to be alright. I'll be back at school before you know it." He smiles and leans down to kiss me. We then cuddle for a bit. After awhile he speaks up, "Baby, is everything okay? You dosed off and were shaking in your sleep." I deeply sigh and tell him, 'No. Everything isn't okay. Some bad guys in dad's past life are now after me. I've gotten two notes from them. The last one came with my favorite roses at our door step. Dad wants to send me away for a year but I said no. I won't leave any of you especially not for a whole year! I can't even think about doing that, because they could hurt one of you to try and get me to come back out of hiding. I won't have it." He pulls me closer, holding me a little tighter. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry, that this is happening to you. You aren't alone though. I won't let them take you or harm you in any way, on my watch. I clearly can't be here all hours of the night, if your dad is home, but while you're with me, nothing bad will come to you." I nod and lay my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. "I love you Scott. I love you so much and I just want you to know that. If they are to get me, no matter what they do to me, I'll be thinking of you." He shakes his head. "No babe. They aren't going to get you and sure as hell not going to touch you. You are mine. We have to try and think positive. I know it's hard but it's going to be okay. We will get through all of this, together."
