Roger's POV
I kept thinking about what was going on with Elizabeth and how mad I was at Mark for telling her. It was 3:30, Elizabeth's School is just getting out. I was just about to call her when a customer came in, I took the customer's drink and food order. I looked at the clock again, It was 3:40. I reached in my pocket to get out my cell phone when it started vibrating, It was Elizabeth. Weird. I thought to myself.
"Elizabeth?"
"Dad! I need you come pick me up from school right now!" She exclaimed in fear.
"Why? What's going on? Where's Katie?" I asked, my worry starting to grow.
"She-She had an dentist appointment and left school early."
"Elizabeth. What is going on. Tell me."
"I-I was starting to walk home and Blake starting following me." The sound of his name gave my insides a squeeze. "He grabbed my arm and tried to make me go with him. I told him No and to let go of me but he wouldn't and he started to squeeze harder and started to drag me away. I screamed and kicked him in the balls and I ran all the way back to the school." Elizabeth choked on the last word and started to sob a little.
I didn't want to let my anger get the better of me since Elizabeth was so upset. "Stay at the school, I'll be there as soon as I can and if you see Blake. Call the police, okay?" I told her calmly.
"Okay." She sniffled back to me.
"Elizabeth, It's going to be okay. I love you."
"I love you too."
Elizabeth's POV
While I was waiting for my dad, I kept replying the incident over and over in my head:
I felt someone take my arm and squeeze it, I slowly turned around, my eyes widening in fear when I saw that it was Blake
"April, I miss you so much. Come back to me." Blake slurred, his breath reeked of alcohols and his pupils were the size of quarters, His sleeves were rolled up and I could see the track marks on his arms, I could see a recent injection mark on his left arm. He took his arm and tucked a stray strand of behind my ear.
"I'm not April, and you are nuts." I said, trying to get free of his grip.
His grip tightened, and begged "Just one more go, please? I had so much fun last time."
I still tried getting away from his death grip, I told Blake loudly "Listen to me! I am not April! and Let go of me!"
"QUIT LYING!" he screamed, and started to drag me into the nearest alley.
I screamed and called out for help but there wasn't a lot of people around. I struggled against Blake's grip until I found my opportunity to escape. I took my leg and kicked him right in the balls. He finally let go of me and screamed. I thought that the nearest safe place was the school so while he was on the ground, I took off running in the direction of the school.
I was so out of it, I didn't hear my dad come up and when I felt a light touch on my arm, I jumped about a foot. I looked up and saw it was my dad. I breathed a sigh of relief, I grabbed my book bag and stood up. "It's going to be okay" My dad said to me. "We'll take care of this."
"He thought I was my mom. He was so drunk and high, he actually thought I was a dead person." I said in a monotone voice. "When he started to drag me off, he was dragging me into a alleyway. I think he was going to rape me." I shuddered. I found myself getting teary-eyed again. My dad pulled me into a hug.
"It's going to be okay, I won't let anything happen to you." he said in my ear. We pulled apart and we walked home.
Blake's POV
As April ran away, I was realized that it wasn't April, it was my daughter Elizabeth.
"Shit." I said to myself. I really fucked things up. Elizabeth has believe that I'm her dad, not Roger Davis. I'll make her believe whether if she wants to or not.
