The decision

September 5, 2024

The past 3 days went by in a blurr and I barely remembered what the doctors said or if Jake came by since I was given the news. I hate that I'm pregnant but I'm free and I don't have to worry about him anymore and now I will have someone with me to care for and love. As crazy as it may sound I came to realize that this baby that is growing inside of me may not be the worst thing but I still don't know if i will be ready to take care of another person like that, especially since I couldn't even take care of myself the way that I was supposed to. The Doctor told me that he would be here even whenever I am released so I know that he will be there no matter what I decide to do. Whenever I was about to make the biggest decision of my life Doctor Rivera walked into the room...

"Knock Knock..... How are you feeling today Alison?"

"I'm as to be expected really but I haven't had as many nightmares as before."

"Well that's wonderful news....Speaking of wonderful news we found your Aunt Sally and she has agreed to take you in after you are released and she will be up some time today to talk to you."

I don't really remember Aunt Sally that much but I'm glad someone would be here for me. Especially since I was getting released tomorrow morning.

"Thank you for telling me this...around what time is she coming"

After the question left my mouth there was a knock on the door and Aunt Sally walked in and made her way to the chair next to my bed.

"Hey Alison, I know you don't remember me but I was your fathers little sister and we will have to work to get to know eachother but i'm here for you"

She grabbed my hand and squeezed my fingers in an effort to show affection and support but I was in shock because she looked so much like my father that it hurt to look at her and instantly I wished that I knew this woman better. She told me that she lives near the high school so she could drive me there and pick me up if I wasn't up for driving whenever I was cleared to go to school. I wish Jake would come by to see me before I was released tomorrow so that I know for sure that everything will be alright but he didn't come.

    Jake didn't know how he could face Alison after the news that she was given. He felt like it was his fault for all of this, if he had known what his father was doing or if he came by sooner she wouldn't have had to suffer for so long. He blamed himself so much that he was subconsciously taking it out on Alison and not going to see her or even visiting her today of all days because she was going home tomorrow and he wouldn't be there to support her.

  By 8 o'clock that night I knew he wasn't going to come to say goodbye and that hurt me but I didn't want anyone to see it so I hid my emotions like most of them these days so that no one is overly worried about me. Aunt Sally stayed with me and never left my side like I was her own daughter and I was finally starting to feel like family with her rather than a total stranger. She told me about when her and my father were kids and how they would go outside for hours just playing like nothing else in the world mattered. We laughed together and when I got in one of my fits we cried together for the pain and the loss that we were both feeling even though she doesn't fully understand what I'm going through. She is there for a shoulder to cry on and to cry with me when I need it. But today I was here to laugh with her because I needed to forget about everything that happened even if it was only for a few minutes. Dr. Rivera came in right after we burst out laughing at a joke that was told and it took us a few minutes to collect ourselves.

"I'm glad you are feeling better today"

"Yeah i know we still have to do some tests before I can go home tomorrow but I am actually doing good today"

"Have you decided what you are going to do about the news that I gave you?"

"I have and if Aunt Sally is okay with my decision I'm going to keep my baby"

When I turned to watch Aunt Sally's reaction I thought she was unhappy with it at first but she was actually excited and glad I was working through all of this so well.

"Oh Alison I'm so proud of you and your father would be to and we will get through all of this and I promise I will not turn my back on you and your baby"

She brought so much joy to me that I started to cry and flung my arms around her and hugged her with everything in me. This child will help bring the light back into my life and I will do everything to ensure that nothing ever happens to cause harm to it and I may not be perfect but will show them what love is and what true happiness is.

September 6, 2024

It's 7am and I woke up with a start and my heart rate monitor going crazy. I had another nightmare but I don't remember anything that happened in it but I know the man was there to haunt me. I wish I remembered more but I guess the police already know that the man that did this owned the house and that he ran off after he found out I was discovered. He was still out there and he knows where I am and he will be trying to find me one of these days unless he finally gives up on me. He was a man that never backed down so I don't think he will give up so easily and if he wanted me back all he had to do was take me. Aunt Sally is softly snoring in the chair next to my bed and I watch in amazement at the women who took me in without hesitation and even here to support the biggest decision that I had to make at such a young age. She tells me that she wishes that I never had to go through this and she wishes we could trade places but she knows there was nothing that could be done to change the past that's why she's here to help with my future. As I lay there I get this cold feeling that someone Is there watching me but whenever I look around it's only me and Aunt Sally and she's asleep so I just rule it out as my paranoia and try to get some more sleep cause today is a big day.

    She's sleeping so peacefully knowing that she's away from me but I will be there to get her back one day soon but I will wait for the perfect moment to take back what's mine and I will make her pay for ever leaving me in the first place. I watch her from afar knowing that they are looking for me but the enjoyment of knowing that I'm right under their noses and they don't even know it is so much greater than any fear I may get from getting caught. So I sit back but only this much and restrain from walking up beside her to caress her check. She will know how much she means to me one day but it will have to wait. I keep telling myself to wait because I won't have to wait for a while if I play my cards right. Because she will be mine and anyone who stands in my way will have hell to pay.

I hear him mention Jake's name and start to get curious about what was said."Good morning Aunt Sally and Dr. Rivera! How are y'all this fine day?""Hey Alison I was just discussing some dangers with your Aunt. Now are you ready for your final test before you go home?"They had to make sure everything was stable and that I was fit to be released or they would hold me for another day, which I don't want to do because I have been getting this feeling that someone has been with watching me and it's not pleasant."Let's get this over already

She walks down to the local library like she does every afternoon now with her hair around her like a dark halo looking even more perfect than when I first grabbed her.

    September 16I haven't seen Jake in a week now and I'm starting to get worried but I figured he has his own life to live. I was laying in my new room still trying to make sense of everything that has happened so far but I can't really concentrate on much and my thoughts drift right back to Jake and I wish I at least got his number because he was so far the only person around my age that I wanted to talk to right now. I go to school tomorrow and I have to repeat junior year since I basically missed the whole year last year so anyone I may have known is all a year above me so this adjustment is going to be pretty hard at first I just hope I don't see people look and whisper about me. I don't think I can stand more people constantly whispering about me like they know what was done to me or what I have done. Looking up at my ceiling which will soon be covered with colorful painting I realized that I miss my life before I was taken.

    Jake knew what he had to do so instead of sneaking up on Alison he called out to her to make her feel safe."Hey Alison I didn't notice that was you mind if I walk next to you"She seemed a little alarmed at first until she realized it was him and she relaxed some"You scared me don't you know not to sneak up on a girl like that""Yeah sorry I just didn't know it was you walking up here by yourself"Jake was close to the spot that his father was waiting for him at so he had to move quickly to make sure Alison was unconscious before they reached it for less of a struggle. So with a quick blow to the back of her head Alison crumbled to the ground with only a startled cry falling from her lips and with

    I don't remember how it happened but my world went dark as though I was knocked out and I couldn't open my eyes because they felt too heavy to move and gravity had a hold of my arms and legs and didn't seem like they wanted to let go anytime soon. So as I waited for my body to start working properly my other senses went to work and I realized that I was in a vehicle and that it was moving fast. Right when I thought I was about to be able to open my eyes I floated back to the world of darkness where I couldn't even tell if I was still alive. Jake watched as she laid there looking as beautiful as ever. He never realized that this was how his father felt all those years but now that he got a taste of it he wanted more. He wanted her to scream his name as he carved it into her perfect skin. He wanted to see fear in her eyes but wanted her to feel safe with him. He wanted he

    September 28Ever since I learned that Jake's father isn't his real father I decided to look into the case that the police discovered. There were a lot of kidnappings that happened during the time frame that I searched for so a lot of files and reports to go through. It was Saturday and already 2 in the afternoon and after looking for the right report and newspaper articles I was feeling a little cramped up and decided to go outside and take a much needed break. Aunt Sally was in the kitchen making us some lunch, nothing special just some sandwiches but I was touched and couldn't wait to devour them."Do you want a PB&J or a ham and cheese""PB&J will be good. Do you want to eat outside today?""Sure Ali we can have a mini picnic out back if you want to"

    Monday October 28th9:00amI woke up feeling groggy and irritated not wanting to be up this early. Remembering I have my first appointment at my OBGYN caused my nerves to be on high alert. Aunt Sally called out from her job at the local restaurant to be able to take me. The appointment is in 30 minutes so I rushed to get ready and ran as fast as my pregnant body could go, down the stairs. I wasn’t sure what to expect and the nerves alone made me not want to go.“Alison, eat up you have a big day today and make sure to drink lots of water before we get there.”I sat obediently and ate the chocolate chip pancakes and bacon that Aunt Sally made because of her experience at the restaurant. The food was the best food I've ever tasted. Within a minute all of the food was gone and t

She knew Alison wasn’t the happiest about today but she was determined to make the most out of everything. She started with baking her strawberry birthday cake, Alison mentioned once that it was her favorite. She didn’t invite anyone to celebrate since Alison might not like having a crowd. After about 30 minutes all the preparations were almost done and it was almost time for Alison to get back. 4:05pm We were completely dry and pulled into Aunt Sally’s house, I knew she was home when I saw her car in the driveway.

    Wednesday October 23rd 2024 Today is the day that every teenageer dreams about all of their lives. A day that’s meant to be celebrated but I’m dreading every part of this day. Today is my 18th birthday, I haven’t told Aunt Sally and I’m not even sure if she even knew it in the first place. I don’t want to be celebrated for a life that I didn’t even want to live this past year. I spent my 17th birthday with him and it was a living hell that day, he made sure I knew just how “special” I was. Now the only birthday gift I want is to know he’s locked up in jail for the rest of his life. 10am With all of the evidence that the courts had there was no need for Alison to testify against Jackson so when Aunt Sally received a phone call to tell her the news of Jackson's trial she was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to tell Ailson.

    2:00pm Alison was walking a little faster than me but I could tell she felt the same way I did.... as if there was a force telling us that he was here and he was near. It started to storm as we made our way to the building. Just as we made it to the middle block of the abandoned buildings we heard a slight scream coming from what appeared to be an abandoned storefront. Without warning Alison booked it into the building as if she had nothing to lose while I would have ran immediately after I had to get the cops on the phone first then run. "9-1-1 what's your emergency?" "I was out running with my friend and we heard these screams coming from an abandoned storefront on first street right off main the one that burnt up those years ago.

    October 14th 12:30pm I watched as Alex seemed to fight against wanting to cry and scream as I slowly walked towards her with my best carving knife in hand. It brought great pleasure to watch her try to act strong as her soul starts cracking, through those eyes of hers I watched every emotion she was feeling. Watching her eyes fill up with tears and a low sob escape her throat made me almost lose control of myself but I knew watching her suffer, that wait was the greatest pleasure from this feisty bitch. Somehow she managed to get a burst of energy and tried to fight me and stop me but that barely lasted 30 seconds as she now tries to act as though this won't hurt her or she can endure the pain but at the end the screams I crave so much from her will release from those reddened lips and reach my eyes with a soothing melody that brings a calming to me and pleasure deep inside. As I watched her I started craving more than she can

    After getting into warmer clothes and actually brushing my hair and teeth I walked back down and left with Kane. he seemed to keep glancing at me for some reason as we walked together to the truck. I wasn’t sure what his problem was. I got dressed decently for the weather, wearing a pair of skinny jeans and boots and a V neck long sleeve sweater. It was one of my few appropriate outfits that I owned since before everything that had happened. I decided to ignore him the best I could and think about the problem at hand. I don't know where to start looking but I couldn't sit at home anymore and just wait for something to turn up. Kane knew his father in more ways than me and knew what he was like and the habits he had which was a great help when it came to us trying to find him. We drove up towards the hospital looking for possible abandoned homes that would be perfect for him but not even an apartment was in that kind of shape up there so we had to circ

    October 13th 6:00am Alex woke up groggy and in complete pain she wanted to be strong but couldn't find the strength or courage to do so. Alex couldn't help but feel useless and weak because somehow she felt that If Alison was there she would have been stronger or found a way to fight him because Alex knew that she was there a year before anyone found her and she survived it and she felt as though she couldn't make it a week in this place. Pain filled every fiber in her bones and thoughts. Alex slowly went back into a black void she called sleep where the pain was present but not as much but as though she was still awake somehow. It must have been her mind making her think this way or trying to help her escape from her painful reality she was facing. As the world around Alex faded in and out she could hear the noises that terrified her even more. They were faint but they felt loud against her ears. The footsteps kept gett

    10:25 am I picked up Alisons Aunt and made up a dumb reason why she couldn't come which she bought anyways. I didn't know how to tell her I didn't know where her niece was and I couldn't figure out the best way to even approach the subject. She already went to bed and I didn't know If I should try to find Alison or wait for her to come home. I was starting to worry and wonder what she was doing out still. I didn't want to leave Sally alone so I decided to just stay and watch over the house and make sure no one comes in that isn't supposed to be there, that was the least I could do for Alison right now. 8pm I didn't know the time, only that it was now dark out. I don't know how but I managed to end up in front of my house and now I was standing there in front of my door. I don't know how long I was there for but I was there and I didn't even
