God Gave Me You

Chapter 2

Drew's POV

8 Months later.....

As my family and I were getting ready for dinner, I heard the news come on in the other room. My father started screaming my name to come to the living room. When I walked into the room I saw my father and brother staring at the t.v with a look of shock on their faces. I sat down beside my brother Liam. I glanced over at the t.v to see what all the fuss was about when my jaw too felt like it had hit the ground.

The t.v stated at the top of the screen " Breaking new : Largest bust in child human trafficking ring in the U.S ". I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The anchor of the news program said 50 kids were rescued from an abandoned warehouse in Winchester, TN. That's only three towns from where I live.

It was such a scary thought that such a horrible thing like this went on in the world. Nevermind basically in my back yard. I just couldn't wrap my head around it. I thought about all the poor children that must have been terrified. And, then I thought of Emma. Could it be. I didn't want to imagine it at all. But, eight months ago she had gone missing without a trace. There had been no leads or new details. Could it really be that she was one of the kids rescued.

God I hope so. Not a day goes by that i haven't thought about her since shes been gone. Was she out there all alone. Had she been murdered. Would we ever see her again. Eight months of questions with no answers had really been tearing me up.

I thought of her day in and day out. I would think how I would never get the chance to tell her how much I liked her. And how much of a coward I was for not doing so from day one. Maybe if I did then I could have been there to protect her.

As much as I wanted her to come home. It made me so sick to my stomach to think that she could be one of those kids abducted into the human trafficking ring. What did she go through. Would she be okay. I tried not to let my mind go there.

But, could it be. Could she be coming home. I made a promise right then to my self if she was one of the kids rescued, I would do whatever it took to let her know how I felt. And, that I promised to let her know I would always be there for her. That I will always protect her and never let anything bad happen to her again.

I stood up and left my brother and father in the living room. When I passed the kitchen on the way to my room my mother called out to me.

" Hunny dinners done. Come sit down and eat. " she said.

" No thanks mom. Im suddenly not hungry." I told her.
