So I knew I had to be careful and plan right. The good news is since I am the one being sold I decided it was okay to use some of the money mother got to help me out. Besides my mother liked to spend, spend, spend money so she would never notice. Every time we went shopping I used my card to get cash back. she was so busy with her things she never noticed.
First thing I did was go to the next town over and open a new bank account. I put most of the money I had in that account, but left just enough in my account so she wouldn't think something was up. I opened a p.o. box in Crescent City the same day I opened the new bank account. I knew I could trust my boss Sarah so I told her what was going on. And boy did she get pissed.
She offered to let me stay with her, but I said no. I didn't want to put her in the middle of all this. She was still willing to help me any way she could. She transfered me to the other end of the beach in case they came looking for me. She took me to a car dealership and helped me buy a van. We both thought it would be good for space when I ran. She took me to a camping supplies store in Oregon. We both thought it would be a good idea to stay away from any places they might know. Sarah helped mt find a tent that was easy to drop and put up by myself. She also helped me find a portable bathroom. I also got an ice chest, a fishing pole, and some gear. Some blankets good for camping and some clothes good for the outdoors. Then we went to the one store that was so far below them we didn't need to worry, we went to WalMart. We got totes to store everything in. I got a few more clothes and some different things foe entertainment. Then we headed back to Crescent City. Sarah took me to a storage unit owned by her family. She set me up with a 4x8 unit so anything I wanted to keep safe would go there. We put the unit in her name so no one would find it. Then we put the extra totes inside to make space in the car. Finally we took the van back to her plave and I took a bus home like I always do.
I am so glad my mother likes to shop. Because when she's not at work she is at the stores. While she was on one of her shopping sprees Sarah and I cleaned all of my stuff out of the attic, and every extra thing that would not raise questions out of the house in general. I also made sure that anything my father gave me was in the storage unit. We moved it all to my storage unit. This took us all of two and a half weeks to do. For the rest of the time I played the good daughter.
For the two weeks leading up to Christmas Steven took me to all kinds of party's. I refused to eat or drink anything. I didn't trust him at all. Mother had several party's as well. None of them were as big as my birthday party so I guess the focus was no longer on me. That made me very happy.
Finally it was Christmas eve. Mother had yet another party. I was happy it was a small one. It was only the two of us, Steven, and his parents. But this was not going to be a good night for me I could already tell.
To start with everyone but me was drinking. Everyone tried to get me to drink but I refused. No one was happy with me after that. Dinner was a quiet affair. But I caught Steven's father sprinkling something on my plate of pie. So I knew not to eat that.
We decided to eat dessert in the front room. As everyone was getting comfortable I mentioned gifts so Steven and his father ran out to the car to get them. Mother went into the other room to get ours. And luckly Stevens mother went to the restroom. So I switched my plate with my mothers and hurried to join her in getting the gifts. We got to the table first so we sat down to wait. Then Stevens mom came back in. We started talking and she started wondering where they were. Just then they walked in. So we all exchanged gifts and ate our pie and then they went home.
A half hour later Steven came back. We sat down to watch t.v. and a half hour into it I acted like I fell asleep. He was not at all shocked by this. He waited ten minutes and tried to get his hand down my pants. I rolled away and he had to start again. I did this for an hour. He finally gave up and left.
I waited for his car to leave then I locked the place down. I checked on my mother. She was sounds asleep, I confirmed what the powder was for. All I could think to myself is I really need to get the hell out of here.
Lucky Christmas day went off without any issue. The day after Christmas my mother and I went on a huge shopping spree. I managed to get three thousand dollars for my escape. After we split up for the day I called Sarah and we got the last of my stuff put into storage.
The next day I planned to go into hiding.
