*Wilbur decides to run away from home
I always felt like the black sheep of the family, always being curious and not paying enough attention to detail, I seemed to forget important things like locking the garage door.
I knew I was going to be in for it from my dad, and probably my mom too. I couldn't help but think that they would all be better off without me, I knew what I had to do.
I packed a knapsack and left a note:
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm sorry for just running off like this, but I kept messing things up, I kept making your lives worse. I didn't know what to do so I just left for good because this family is better off without me, I don't mean to keep screwing up I have the best intentions but it keeps happening. I don't belong here and I love you guys, it breaks my heart to have to do this. But that's part of unconditional love, wanting someone to have the best life they can even if means your not in it. Please go on without me and just forget that you ever had me, I'll find a way to survive on my own.
Love Always, Wilbur
I ducked out the window and made a run for it. I don't know where I'm going or how I'm going to survive, I just know I have to do this for them, it's whats best for them.
Franny: I went to knock on Wilbur's door, we needed to talk about what he had done with the time machine. I have to ground him for the week because he didn't just tell me when he found out the first machine was gone, I knew it was an accident.
Why wasn't he responding, "Wilbur please open the door, we need to talk" I say softly trying not to sound upset.
The truth was I scared because he put himself in serious danger, he almost wiped himself from existence, not just that but he could of gotten himself killed.
He's my child, He'll always be my baby and I just don't know what I'd do if anything ever happened to him, My husband was an orphan, I was severely abused by my parents and our family is our world.
I tried to open the door, it wasn't locked and Wilbur was no where to be found. "Cornelius have you seen Wilbur?" I ask "No, he's not in his room?" I heard him walk down the hall.
I scanned the room and found a note on the bed I read it as I broke down in tears "What's wrong, Franny?" He rushed to my side and took the note from me
"I'm a horrible mother, I have to be to have made him feel that way! How could I have not noticed, how did I not know he felt that way?, I'm just as bad as my parents!, oh god what have I done?!" I cry into my husbands chest.
We held each-other close I felt him tilt my head up
"Hey, it's not your fault, Your not a mind reader, Your the best mom I know, Your nothing like your parents, I'm not sure why he believed that but it's not true.. Well find him, I love you" He says kissing me tenderly
"I love you too" I whisper
"Come on let's go find Carl we can send him out to go look for him, he'll have a better shot than we would" He says softly
"Your right, But we have to tell the rest of the family he's missing" I say walking out of our sons room with him
"I know" He says looking down at me with tears in his eyes.
Wilbur:
It's been 2 days since I left home, I was sleeping on a bench in the park downtown it was cold at night, I hadn't thought to bring a blanket.
I was sleeping when an elderly woman woke me up "Whats your name? I'm Jul"
"Wi.. What do you want with me?" I ask suddenly very frightened
"Would you like to get yourself cleaned up and sleep in a nice warm bed for the night boy?" She smiles eerily
"Um.." I contemplate it, I guess things can't be any worse besides she's old whats she gonna do to me? "Sure, that sounds great, thank you" I get up and walk back to her car.
"My husband will be glad to meet you" She says
"What's he like?" I ask curious
"Oh you'll see" She whispers.
The ride is quiet she takes me to a little shack in the forest about 5 minutes away
"Step out of the car deary come along" She says almost panicky I get an off vibe again
"Umm I don't mean to be disrespectful or anything but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this" I say at the front door.
Suddenly she pushes me through the door I land on the floor I go to block myself as an old man takes a swing at me, punching me straight in the stomach
"Meet your grandma and grandpa Dolersin" The old man yelled.
Dolersin why does that sound familiar? Grandparents? What the hell is going on? I have to find a way to get out of here! Oh god what have I done?! I miss my family, I love them so much and I'm never going to get to see them again.
"Franny should of never had children, she didn't deserve the future she got, your just as nothingness as she is" I heard the lady say, I felt a baseball bat hit my head, it all goes blank.
I wake up curled up in a corner, my hands are tied infront of me I can feel blood on my forehead , how did things get to this point? Suddenly it hits me Dolersin, that's my moms maiden name, she didn't talk about her parents could it be that those are really my grandparents?!
I manage to grab my phone from my pocket which was there but damaged by some miracle it turned on, I manage to text my mom "HELP, Y P F M" calling or typing a longer message is too risky I send it praying to god she understands it.
Suddenly I hear footsteps
"What the hell do you think your doing?" The old lady screams, She smashes my phone "Stupid brat!"The man yells
I block myself expecting to get hit again but instead I get a cigar burned into my leg by the man, I yelp in pain trying not to cry.
I felt the old lady lift up my shirt the sharp pain of an army knife slicing through my skin, it wasn't that deep but it stung like hell.
Mom, Dad I wish I was back with them safe, I didn't realize how good I had it, sure I kept screwing up but my parents loved me I knew they did even though they got upset sometimes.
But I have no way of getting out of here and besides I did what was best for them, didn't I? I'm not so sure anymore what I've done, I mean look at where I've ended up
I entered an abusive death trap because I thought I was screwing up my parents life?
I felt the old man punch in the stomach "This will teach you" I felt a rag come over my mouth before I could react, I screamed out but it's no use it all goes blank again.
