"Christian son we don't know what to do with you, you fight at every school you need something to take your energy away so we have agreed you will spend the summer working for Mr and Mrs Lincoln in their yard" Christian looked at his father like he had grown a second head then shook his own in admission "I'm sorry dad, mom when do I have to start working for them?" after yet another private school threatened to kick him out he was forced into working for the Lincolns "tomorrow morning 10 am you are to go over Mrs Lincoln will be waiting to give you instructions on the garden, I think it's time we all go to bed now".
Christian woke early got dressed and had his breakfast and made his way to the Lincolns as he pulled up the front door opened and their stood Mrs Lincoln who Christian had always thought was kinda hot but very fake he walked up and she smiled at him " hello Christian come on threw" her cold stare sent shivers threw him she was creepy he often wondered how she managed to move her face at all after all the surgery. He had been working on the Lincolns garden for 2 weeks and had picked up his grades slightly and was always too tired to fight one day while working Mrs Lincoln came out and offered him lemonade which he thanked her for and then he made some smart remark on her latest Botox she slapped him hard across the face then pulled him down to her and kissed him hard to him it was new and felt good she pulled away and slapped him again then left him he was left there wondering what the fuck just happened he finished up for the day and went to leave "remember same time tomorrow Christian" he didn't want to come back he didn't want more of that "Mrs Lincoln I'm not coming back tomorrow after what happened" a number of emoticons flew across her face at his words fear then anger "Christian do you think that mommy and daddy are going to believe a dysfunctional brat like you over me their dear friend and confident if you do your sadly mistaken they will most likely send you back to the orphanage where you belong not amongst there perfect family so you WILL come back tomorrow because I want to help you control your anger don't be ungrateful until tomorrow" she walked away with a smirk.
Christian ran as fast as he could he didn't know where he was going or how long he ran but he just had to run he didn't want to go away but he didn't want to be around that witch he was so busy thinking to notice where he was going until he bumped into someone "oops shit I'm sorry" he went to help the person up "bro watch it its cool though" completely out of breath and noticing he was lost he fell to the floor elbows rested on his knees and bowed his head " man what's up wid you what you running from?" Christian had nothing left to fear so just let it out to this stranger "my parents friend is saying if I tell my parents she kissed me they will send me away back to the orphanage cause I won't fit in there perfect family, she wants me to go back I don't wanna go she said if I tell my parents they won't believe me" "what's your name bro? I'm Benji I think your parent's friend is a weirdo and is wrong bout your parents" Christian looked up at the stranger only just realising that it's just a kid a few years younger than him "Christian and how can you be sure Benji what if they think I'm lying and send me away" Benji looked at Christian and sighed "then just in case we need proof like pictures or better yet recording how old are yah anyway?" "I'm 15 what about you? You seem so young" "I think we have a paedophile to take down don't you? I'm almost 14 I have a plan you got a camera and voice recorder?" Christian looked at Benji in confusion "If you put the recorder in your pants pocket you and record her saying stuff to yah and with a camera I can sit in her back yard and record her tryna seduce yah good plan don't yah think" Benji winked and Christian "Benji you're a genius come back to mine now and sleep over you can use my phone to ring your mom if you want then tomorrow we can head over early and you can sneak around back in one of the bushes" Benji looked down sadly "I don't have a mama no more let's just get going" Christian put his hand on Benjis shoulder and they walked back to his house talking about their lives as they walked.
Morning came soon enough and Benji and Christian put their plan into action. Christian knocked on the Lincolns door and as the door swung open she was there in a tiny leather skirt and corset "I'm glad you made the right decision on coming back now carry on with the garden work I'll be out soon" he wanted the image of her out of his head so he ran out to the back and started working until he sensed she was behind him " so Christian I see you came back even when you said you wouldn't clearly you want me as much as I want you right?" what? Was she mad "no I am hear so my family don't get rid of me like you said" " ah yes and I am quite serious why would they want you its best left unsaid that way you still remain there little boy right Christian?" he couldn't speak only nod "I asked you a question and I expect an answer NOW!" she slapped him again hard then kissed him then slapped him "don't you feel better now I know you want to surrender to me if you do your life will be free from anger and feeling like you have no control you can be the perfect son for the perfect family you don't want to anger them anymore your mother already told me she considered giving you away too much hassle she said" and she laughed well rather cackled "Mrs Lincoln I don't want to be here and I don't want to do this" she slapped him again "you don't have a choice do you think the others had a choice? No they understood that so they just let me help them you should too else you will be garbage like your birth mother" she kissed him hard and bit down on his lip he pushed her back "ahh fuck that hurt I'm going home" he went to leave and she grabbed him and pushed him to the floor "you will come back begging for it you worthless little shit no one says no to me now leave" she cackled "until tomorrow Christian" he ran out front called for his friend and they left when they got to his they looked over the footage and the recording "this is enough to get rid of the old witch Christian your safe" and he felt like he was so that night he went down stairs and asked to speak to his parents in private his parents looked at each other concerned once alone Christian let it all out " I don't want to be sent away I like it here and I love you but she made me and I said I didn't want to but she slapped me so hard she said you wouldn't want me in your perfect family" shocked at her sons outburst she was quick to ask "who said what and who dared slap my baby?" mama bear was angry now "Mrs Lincoln mom she slapped me the kissed me and slapped me again so hard" she let out the breath she had been holding and collapsed on the chair "Christian what else did she do? When was this?" his father's stern voice echoed over the office " yesterday and today she bit my lip, she said you'd send me away because I was too much hassle if I didn't let her help me" Christian began crying his parents had said nothing he was preparing to show them proof when his mother reached out and went to pull him into her lap but he flinched away "you are my baby I would never ever send you away I love you very much what else did she have to say" Christian showed the footage and recordings much to his father's confusion "son why did you record this and who was videoing this?" "she said you wouldn't believe me, when I ran I ran so far I bumped into a kid and he helped he asked he what was wrong told me she was lying but in case record it so you'd believe me" his mother wept for her son she couldn't understand it "my boy we would of always believed you your our son we trust you I think you need to go to bed it's getting late goodnight my sweet boy".
Christian knew they wanted to be alone to talk so he ran upstairs to the room directly above his father's study to hear them. He could hear his mother sob "Gracie I don't know what we are to do she has been abusing other young boys she's clearly admitted it all I can think of is what would of become of our boy if he let her seduce him it's no secret the lifestyle she is into that is no place for a 15 year old" his mother cleared her throat "Carrie I want to see her I want to see her now and to hear what lies she will spew" "you know that isn't the best idea she will not admit to it even with this proof and what if she were to blame Christian what if he saw her here" "oh god Carrie she polluted him my poor boy god if he saw her come here he would think we didn't believe him but I need this I'm going to call her" "Elena I need your help please come over now ok see you shortly" Grace sighed " Gracie just be careful I'm going to go call the police and inform them of the evidence" shortly after Christian heard the door open and muffled voices then they entered the office again "Grace dear whatever is the matter you look awful" "oh its nothing it's just I'm worried about Christian has he been going to yours like he was meant to you know how I care about my little boy he's so young I need to know he's safe" "oh of course dear he comes when asked and he's a good boy if not a little inappropriate but I shall see to it whip him into shape as they say" Christian cringed when she cackled " excuse me Elena? You're going to whip my boy is that what you want him for?" "Gracie calm down it was just an expression don't get so worked up it doesn't suit you" all Christian heard next was a slap and a wail coming from Elena "how dare you kiss him you witch you sick paedophile I will ruin you" "Gracie what are you talking about he kissed me it was nothing I'm sure it's just a crush I didn't encourage him I told him I was married I don't know what your boy has been saying but he was the little pervert" again a slap and wail "don't you dare accuse my boy of being a liar you whore I know what you tried to do we have proof you old hag" "proof? What proof?" "Hah yes you be worried Elena fucking Lincoln because you're going to prison for the rest of your life "I don't know what that little shit has told you but it was all him he practically attacked me, he wanted me I could tell the way he leered at me "the door opened to two officers "Elena Lincoln your under arrest you do not have to say anything…".
Christian had to see this he ran downstairs and smirked as she was led out buy two police officers she turned to him" you fucking brat I will get you for this I could of taught you so much you could have been great for me" Grace ran to her son and tried to pull him in for a hug again forgetting about his fear of being touched "she will never touch you again I won't let her I love you my boy" they sat on the stairs for what seemed like hours until he fell asleep. Awakening in his own bed the next day he felt relieved. The years passed Benji became like a brother to him they supported each other with school and everything else; Grace and Carrick fostered him and took him in they had plans they wanted to run an empire and they went to college and graduated together, Christian knew that he would of either let Lincoln have her way or he'd be dead or in prison by now if it weren't for Benji soon after graduation the two went away before plans to start their own business from the loan money his father gave him, they were relaxing on a beach in Georgia Christian went for a swim he saw a huge wave coming in and as began to swim away he saw her long brunette hair she was oblivious and the wave would kill her and he was the closest to her so he swam to her and grabbed her just as the wave crashed he was lucky to be such a strong swimmer he held her tight and swam ashore she was unconscious he laid her down and began CPR she came too and she looked right at him with the most beautiful crystal blue eyes that seemed to see into his soul she smiled and her hand reached up and touched him her hand swept down his chest and he didn't feel fear or pain he was confused he stepped back and as his mind wondered so did he, he walked away Benji caught up and asked what was wrong "Benj she touched me and it wasn't scary it didn't hurt it was soft and it felt safe how is that possible she was only their a few seconds and it's the safest I've ever felt she looked at me and that smile those eyes they saw into my soul" Benji looked at his friend and smiled " man that is like true love you saved her too that's got to be a good omen we better head back make sure your mermaids okay" Christian was confused by the reaction this girl gave him he could still see her face when he closed his eyes "your right come on I don't even know her name" they ran back but it was too late she wasn't there.
Benji noticed an elderly couple that were there earlier "scuse me sir mam do you know what happened to the lassy who nearly drowned" the elderly couple looked at Christian and smiled "the lassy was asking after you boy" this piqued his interest he smiled " she did what did she say" the elderly man put his hand on Christians shoulder and he froze still can't handle touch grey even after that girl did it bare chested " she asked for her copper haired angel she wants to thank you she seemed sad you left" this made Christian smile she wanted to see him " is she okay? Where did she go" the elderly man bowed his head "she kept going from conscious to unconscious she had a head injury and lack of oxygen they said" a lump formed in Christians throat she had to be ok he needed to meet her to know her to feel her touch again "they took her to the local hospital son" with that the old man winked and walked away with his wife "well even the old geezer wants you to go and find her so let's head out" Christian could only nod what if Benji was right she was his true love but he wasn't hers he'd be lost never feeling her touch again " you know there is 3 local hospitals here benj how we gonna find here" Benji laughed "simple we go to all 3" the night was drawing in and they had yet to reach the last hospital no one fit the girls injury or description had passed through the first two Christian had a bad feeling about it she wasn't going to be here either and then he'd never find her he ran in and asked around until one nurse said there was one girl "mild concussion and nearly drowned she was sent back to her hotel with her family to rest though she was fine except talking about angels and copper hair" at that Christian smiled the only good thing to come from the three failed trips was she was thinking of him too " come on Chris time to head out we aren't gonna find her now we got a plane to catch unless you wanna miss that one too for your true love" Christian elbowed his friend "I will find her sooner or later I have to, till then guess we better go get our flight" After being back in Seattle for a few months now everything was settling in he had his business and family but he still thought of her touch and those blue eyes and plump lips as they smiled at him he made Benji promise not to tell his family about this girl he didn't need them adding to his thoughts. It's been over 4 years and he still can't find her his I.T guy can't find a thing about her, every night he goes to sleep thinking of her and wondering if she has forgotten her copper haired angel, he even goes back to that beach every year in case but no luck. 6 years and he still hasn't found her he still craves her touch until a Miss Steele fell into his office their hands touched and it was like a current went through him until she looked up at him and he saw those eyes those lips could it be that she had found him? she just stood there staring into space for a few seconds did she feel it to does she know it's me if it's even her.. What do I say...? "so Miss Steele shall we get this interview over with"
