The Girl Who Lived

The Incident

 I sat very quietly thinking, when he looked over he asked: “what are you thinking about?” I looked at him and said “ well just a sad thought that my old house was sitting empty and a mess since I was 5 that was 13 years ago. My home sitting empty for thirteen years, is just so sad.” He said, “yea that is sad, but at least we got back to it.” We got to the store and he asked me if I wanted to come in. I said no it’s okay. When he left the car I tried to think of before I was in foster care if I ever knew Jake, I couldn’t think of anyone named Jake. I remembered all the faces of my mom and dads friends and none of them had any kids my age. That's when I saw Jake talking to a man in front of the store, I got out of the truck and walked over to them, I recognized the guy, it was Mr. Prevy. I was shocked that Jake would talk to him when I got closer I could hear what they were saying. Jake was telling him to go to hell. Mr. Prevy saw me and started to walk over to me. I turned and ran in the opposite direction, I thought if I could run I could get far from him. He caught me, he outran me somehow, I sank to the ground and became a dead weight. If this man was going to take me he would have to pick me up or drag me. This made people suspicious and another man came over to us and said "everything all right here?" I said " no this man is trying to take me against my will" I recognized the man who walked up. He was one of my dad's friends, I don't know why I remembered him, I never really talked to him much. My dad's friends were all mysterious to me. Then again I was 5 when I saw them last. Maybe my brain is playing tricks on me. This man is very nice though he came when I needed help. 

“Leave this girl alone before I call the cops”  The new man shouted, alerting all the bystanders around. Many of them grabbed their phones and either started to record or dial a number. 

“The girl is my daughter, she is my property,” Mr. Pervy hollered by accident. As if he just realized what he said he looked a little embarrassed. He tried to get me to walk with him again when a security guard from the store came out to see what all of the commotion was about.

“You need to leave this girl alpine right now, I have called the police and they will be here any minute now.” The security guard said proudly, as if this scene was the best part of his day. Mr. Pervy let go of me and punched the security guard on the nose, everyone heard a crunch and everyone knew that the security guards nose was broken. At this time a lot of the bystanders were pulling out their phones and started recording. Good I thought maybe they will upload it to the internet and everyone in the world will know that this jack ass is a horrible man.
