Thanks to thereishopeforageneration who help with my mistakes!
My name is Rachel Berry and I am 17 years old. If you had asked me a few days ago I was still this fresh and sparkling Sarah Huddy, who had the joy of life and so many dreams in her head. Only within a few hours my life turned in a nightmare. As soon as I close my eyes I have the same pictures which parade in my head. I would just close my eyes and not ever would I reopen them, everything would be so much simpler. I was never one of these girls who thinks of suicide or death maintaining all which takes place around me, but I cannot refrain from thinking that I would like all this sadness and this pain to stop.
Two days ago I was happy, my two fathers Hiram and Leroy Huddy had spent the day with me, we began by going shopping then we ate in a restaurant and to finish we went to see a new musical in Broadway. It was really the dream day, but inside of me I had this funny sensation that someone was watching me, I quickly chased this idea out of my head. Now I realise that I should have followed my instincts ,it would maybe have changed things.
We returned very late of our day in family and we were exhausted due to rushing round all day. When we arrived at the apartment we went into our own rooms. In spite of how tired i was I did not manage to fall asleep, lots of things came into my head. It was the summer holidays and I am going to begin my last year of high school in two weeks before going to NYADA the school of my dreams. Since i was a little girl,I worked hard, and I was very lucky in the fact that my fathers always supported me in everything I did. At the age of 5 we left my native town Lima which is in Ohio and we went to live in the city of my dreams New York. My father Leroy being a very renowned judge was offered a work opportunity which he could not refuse.
while I am lost in my thoughts I hear a noise which coming from the hall , I wasn't worried as my father Hiram suffers time to time of insomnia. But the second noise that I heard a few minutes makes me shake with fear I hear a shout followed by one gun shot.
My father Leroy always said to me when there is a problem or when I feel in danger (the paranoia of my father with regard to his work) I have to go to hide in my closet as there is a double bottom . I do not have time to think I grab my phone which is on my bedside table and lock myself into my closet. I was totally shocked at the idea of not knowing what was going on in the other room. Having taken my phone with me, I began dialling 911.
"Police of New York what can I do for you?"
I tried to stay calm and to find my voice to explain what was going on around me.
"Hello I am Sarah Huddy the daughter of judge Leroy Huddy, I think I heard a shot in my apartment." tears begin to flow down my cheeks.
" Sarah where are you? "
" Hidden in my closet it has a double bottom. "
" Very well you are going to stay there until a policeman comes to look for you. Give me your address. "
" 154 main aisle park "
" All right I am going to stay with you on the phone until that a team arrives do not speak and make least possible noise. My name is Penelope Garcia ok?"
"Yes" is the only answer which I manage to bring out of my mouth, I do what she tells me to do which was to stay calm without moving or making noises. Moment later I hear voices that get closer, my body curls up in fear and my breath and my heart accelerates. I hear the voice of my father and another voice that I have never heard before.
" Now Huddy where is your charming daughter? "
" She is not… " my father said, thanks to a small air vent I manage to catch a glimpse of my father who is covered with blood. I quickly deduct that from it he has to be some blood of my father Hiram.
I repeat again and again in my head that I have to stay calm. Penelope who must hear noise to other end of the thread also tells me to keep calm that the patrol is soon going to arrive.
" Don't lie to me I saw her with you when you got to your apartment. "
I was right to think someone was spying on us all the day.
"I don't know where she is. " says my father. This is when I hear a cracking noise and my father screaming.
"I just wanted to have fun with her! Do you know why I am here? "
" No I don't know, I don't even know you. "
" You don't but you know somebody who is very close to me and because of you he is in prison for all his life, I am here for revenge. Does the name of Douglas say anything to you? "
My father doesn't answer I deduct from it that he knows very well about what this man is talking about.
" Your silence says enough. I am going to take everything from you. I have already taken your husband I am going to take care of your beautiful little princess. Where is she? "
" Ive said to you that I don't know. "
" You take me for an idiot. I can explain to you what I'm going to do with her which I think you are going to find very interesting."
I have the impression that I'm in a bad movie it's not possible that this is happening in real life. I am going to wake up and everything will be back to normal
" Sarah if you don't want to listen to what is happening you need to block your ears as much as you can " Penelope says to me in a whisper.
But I can't, I am paralysed.
" Please my daughter has nothing to do with all this "says my father in a desperate voice.
" I don't give a **, you are going to listen anyway. I am not going to kill her right away after I find her. Since I saw her this afternoon all I wanted to do was force her against a wall and to tear away her clothes and make you watch as she makes me **. But since that you are lying to me
"I don't lie " another blow hit my father in the head.
"and when I finish with her you can watch her die very very slowly, that's going to be the main event you will see. "
I try to control my breath and not imagine the horrible things he wants to do with me. That is when I was able to hear the noise of the sirens of the police cars.
" **! You called them? "
" No I was with you"
" It's her then! Your little **"
" I said to you that she is not … "
This is when I heard the last shot of the evening, I waited for a moment until this man leaves I will be able to leave my hiding place.
I found my father stretched out on the ground in the middle of my bedroom covered in blood.
" Daddy please don't give up, I need you. "
" Don't worry princess everything is going to be ok, you will make it as a shining stat and achieve beautiful things. "
" If you are not with me to share this I don't want any of this. "
" Princess we are always going to be with you, we are always going to be in your heart. You will just have to raise your beautiful head and look at the stars we are going to watch you from there. You will become somebody Sarah Huddy never let anybody say to you the opposite you are special make sure you remember that. "
The last words my father was able to say to me before he closed his eyes forever.
After a few seconds a whole policeman's brigade and also agent of FBI had entered our apartment, a young woman approached me.
" Sarah my name is Emily Prentiss, my team and I are going to handle this case. I am really sorry for your loss. "
A case! A case! While the agent speaks to me I can see people in white blouses approach the body of my father to put him carefully in a special bag. The agent Prentiss waits for the reaction but nothing I am too upset to care.
"The doctor that you can see are going to come to check you. Just to see if everything is ok with you ? "
Whether I liked it or not I have didn't have the choice, after a brief consultation, the doctor says to the agent Prentiss that I am in a state of shock.
" Sarah you are going to spend the night at my place, we are going to take some stuff for you to dress and wash."
I can see through the windows that it's dark outside but I have no idea what time is it. I catch some stuff which I put down in my bag and I join the agent Prentiss in the hall.
She lives in a cosy apartment in Brooklyn, she manages me towards her friend's room shows me briefly the bathroom, but I have only one thing in mind to stretch out and forget all that just happened.
" I am going to let you rest if you need something don't hesitate to take what you want or call me if you need me. When you wake up I'm going to explain to you what's going to happened and we are going to go to the reading of the will of your parents. I know that all of this is difficult for you but knows that I am here for you if you need me. Try to rest. "
"Thank you" is the only word which I manage to articulate. When the agent Prentiss leaves the room and I end up alone, I'm lying on the bed and the tear quite the tears of my body until exhaustion.
