1 HOUR BEFORE THE KIDNAPPING:
I walked into the apartment. I looked around, rearanged my room and sat on the lush cream-colored carpeting for one last time. My departure was in a few hours and the the fear was consuming me. I tried not to think about it. Not to think about the letter. Not to think of leaving. Not to think of the horrible things to come in the next few weeks.
Instead, I thought about Alexis. I knew she would take it really hard when she found out. But by then, I'd be long gone. Leaving an empty hole in my wake. I thought about all the good times we'd spent here. About my home here in these walls. I was going to miss her.
My cellphone rang.
- Hello? -. I said.
- It's time -. he said.
A single tear rolled down my cheek.
