The plane ride felt like a nightmare. Everything felt like my life was changing. As if I was no longer able to breathe, speak, or move. Everything involuntarily stopped.
Once Aaron got the rental car, he tied us back up and put duct tape on our mouths just as before. Scared and frightened, I do my best to comfort my little sister. Scared, innocent, afraid. Everything is now terrifying. After this, I don't know how I will live. Who will be in my life.
I look out the window and see we have arrived to some hotel room. "You three already know the drill." Aaron says untieing us. I hold my sisters hand as she slips something into my hand. I look at what it is. Her cell phone. I turn down the volume, then turn it off and put it into my bra.
My hand is still latched to my sister's. My eyes focused in on my mother. All three of us. Abused, mistreated, frightened, and beyond scared. All right here.
Aaron leads us into the hotel room after checking us in. Its slightly big but not huge. Its not too small either.
"Sit now!" he yells at us as we do as he said. "Listen. There will be rules. There will be no using the phone. No leaving the room. Nothing. Now I will be getting the bags. Don't think about doing anything stupid."
"Either of you have a plan?" my mom asks as soon as he leaves the room.
"We're calling the cops for sure." I say walking over to the phone.
"9-1-1 what's your emergency?"
"Hi, my mom, my sister, and myself are all kidnapped in the Hamilton Hotel. We need help please." I say into the phone.
"Stay calm miss and everything will be alright."
"Thank you." I say turning around and facing my mother and sister. Both of them frightened then Katie points to what's behind me. There stands a pissed off Aaron. He unbuckles his belt. I flinch as the leather belt smacks my back.
"You two, in the corner!" he yells as they both scurry to the corner. "As for you. Strip to panties and bra. Then lay down on the bed." I do as said with my lips trembling. He then ties my arms to the head of the bed. My legs are spread and tied to each corner of the bed. He then undresses his self. I look over at my mom and sister frightened to death. My mom covering my sister's ears and face.
Right as he is hovered above me, the police barge in. "Put your hands where I can see them!" One cop yells as Aaron does so. I look down at the foot of the bed. There he's being hand cuffed.
"Are you okay miss?" another officer asks after untying me. I nod while crying. I walk over to my mom and sister. All three of us crying because of fear. My mother seeing her oldest daughter be whipped and near raped. My sister having to see the same thing. "You can get your clothes on and we'll talk to all of you about the situation in the morning." the officer says calmly.
I stand up to get my pants and top on. I rush to get my clothes on. We all sit on the bed and anwser a few questions. Such as how long has this been going on. Who Aaron was. Etcetera.

Once everyone left, it was just, my mom, Katie, and myself. We all decided to share one bed all together. My mom in the middle of both Katie and me.
"Are you- are you okay, Macy?" I hear my mom's voice crack.
"Yes, but, mainly frightened." I say
"How's your back?"
"Sore." I explain as try to force my eyes shut. Hopefully tomorrow, we'll be on our way home.
Frightened, the only emotion I feel right now.

I wake up to a knock at the door. Reminding me of where I am. It was just a nightmare. It wasn't true. I try to convince myself.
"Hi, um, the Larson family, right?" The officer at the door asks.
"Yes, how can I help you?" I ask.
"Well, I have great news. Would you like to wake your family first or do you want me to just tell you."
"I'll tell them later, go ahead and tell me right now."
"Aaron is now in prison for the next ten years of his life. As for your family, we will be sending you back to your home in Sandusky this afternoon." he explains as I thank him. I close the door after he leaves. I feel more relieved than I did before.
"Macy? Who was that?" My mom asks as both her and Katie wake up.
"A policeman. He says Aaron is in prison for the next ten years of his life and we'll be heading home this afternoon." I explain.
"That's wonderful." My mom says smiling for the first time in a week.
"Wait, what about Erica?" Katie asks. Shit, I knew I forgot about someone.
"She'll be living with her mom." my mom explains.

That afternoon we spent on an airplane. It was nice knowing I was going home.
When we got off the plane, I was glad to be home. We walked to the Aaron's van and grabbed our belongings out of it. Luckily my mom had a spare key with her.
My notifications were nearly blown up. Thanks to the group. One from Danielle. Five from Josiah. Three from Bridget. Two from Melinda. And four from Elizabeth.
Josiah's read. 'Hey baby, where are you? Are you okay? Why did Aaron pick you up? Please anwser I'm getting worried. I miss you.'
'I'll explain to the group tomorrow.' Is what I reply back.
All of Elizabeth's texts were just asking where I was. Danielle's read 'Troy says hi and would like to hangout with us some time.' Troy is our middle school friend who happens to be gay but has a girlfriend that looks like a guy named Davey. He's mostly close friends with Danielle and reminds me of That's So Jack.
Melinda's texts mainly were about our friend Charlie being in town. And if you ask, yes, charlie is a girl.
Bridget's text as well was asking where I was. I guess I have some explaining tomorrow.
~~~~ Stupid school. This took me forever to write. So, I'm hoping you guys are enjoying the story so far. If we could get this story to 200 reads soon that'd be great. What's funny is during one of my classes, I had my friends pick out which of our friends were who in the story. They all laughed when they saw who was who. Please vote, share and comment.
