Forgive Me

I heard Elijah scream bloody murder and I ran into his bedroom.
A man dressed in all black with a black mask was covering Eli's mouth with his gloved hand with a gun pointed to his head.

I screamed.

"Say another word and your son's brains will be all over the damn wall." The man growled.

Tears spilled over and down my face.
Brent rushed in and stopped beside me.

"Make another move and he's dead."
"Can I ask a question?" Brent asked.
"What?" The man growled.
"What are you here for?"
"Evermore."

I gasped.

"Why?"
"Travis wants her back."
"NO I WILL NOT GO BACK TO THAT HELLHOLE!!" Yeah I was pissed now.

He had enough balls to hurt us even when we weren't with him.

"Do you want your child's brains on the wall?"
"No, please dont." I begged.
"Then listen to what i'm saying. I'm taking your kid here to Travis until you go back to him yourself. Until then...."

He jumped out of the window with Elijah in his arms thrashing about.
I ran to the window to see the man jump in a white van and drive off.
I broke down right there.
I sunk to the floor hugging my knees.
I felt helpless.
I couldn't keep my little boy safe...
Brent sat next to me and wrapped his arms around me as I cried.

"This is my fault...I couldn't keep him safe..." I said over and over.
"No. This isn't your fault, Bree Bree. We'll get him back. I'll hunt down this Travis fucker myself and kill him to get our son back. I promise."

I just cried.
I just lost my child.
Our child.
The only thing keeping me going all these years and he's gone.
Just like that.
Oh my god.
What will they do to him?
What if they hurt him?

****************************8

The next day I felt like shit.
My eyes were sore puffy and red from crying all night.
Brent was on the phone with his agent.
I was laying in Eli's bed clutching his stuffed Superman he always slept with.
What else was I going to do?
I didn't know where Travis was.
I didn't know if they were hurting him.
I didn't know fucking anything.
All I knew was that he was gone.
My baby was gone..

"Evermore!" Brent yelled.

I got up and slowly walked into the livingroom.
He was smiling when I walked in.

"How can you be smiling right now?"
"They found him."
"What?"
"They found him. He's just outside of Lockwood at an abandoned house. Let's go get our son."

I smiled and ran to him jumping in his arms.
I had never been so fucking happy to have him in my life before.
I let go and he took my hand in his as we walked out to his car.
Time to go safe our baby boy.
Elijah, baby. Mommy's coming.
