"Look may we come in?" the police officer one on the left says
"Do you have a warrant?"
"I guess not," the one on the left says
"I'm Noah," the left one introduces
"This is James," he points to the middle... "And that is Liam"
"Just because you told me your names doesn't earn you a free pass to come into my home let alone accuse me of being someone I'm not," I hiss back
"Well just because you believe your someone your not doesn't mean your not that person," Liam said
I was stunned, I had nothing to say, let's be honest that was deep.
They already know who I really am but I won't give in... never
But I do open my door a little wider..... And then three police officers enter my house. I'm curious as to see what will happen.
Liam immediately stands in front of my door when I shut it my front door, the other two have already situated themselves on my couch.
Minutes of silence form and I become more and more anxious by the minute.
"Sooooo..... Why are you here?" I say awkwardly
"You know why," James says
"No, actually I really don't," Trying to play dumb
"We believe you to be someone who is missing, someone we have been looking for quite some time now," Noah says
"Why, why me... I'm literally a nobody," This is so concerning to me, how did I get so deep so fast. I didn't even expect them to be looking for me but when I left I acted like they were. Because you can never be to safe. But it's not like I was kidnapped, those people knew what I was capable of so why look for me.
"Who's looking for me and why? Who am I to you?" I'm eager for answers... I'm so scared but I won't let them see
"A very depressed family and boyfriend. To them you are a girl who is dearly missed, to us you are a girl we are looking for and will do anything to give back their daughter to the family who asked for help," Noah said
"How did you find me?"
"Tell us who you are and we will tell you," James said
"Why would I do that when I'm perfectly happy where I am, I'm not even the person you say I am"
"Listen Kenlee, we looked over every record you have at the hospital, that's where you work right?" Oh my gosh...I freeze, I my breath starts to shorten
"What is wrong with you! That's where I fricking work, you probably don't even have anything useful to go on"
"That's the problem, there is little to nothing on you... which could mean you are hiding something," Noah explains
"Please just leave, why is it so important for you to return this girl to her family?"
"Did ever think about why that girl left, I'll tell you why," I said with anger.. I'm getting angry, they don't understand the position I was in
"She was abused in every way possible, by her parents and especially by her boyfriend"
"I don't even know why they are looking for her, they knew what she was capable of... that girl is gone and they know it," I finally say, I can finally get out the truth.... My truth
"And how do you know that?" James questions
"You know why," I shoot back
"Say why, admit it," says James in a serious tone
"No, never," why do they want me to admit it?
"ADMIT IT!" James says now very angry
"Woah, James calm down," Noah says
"NO, I WILL NOT CALM DOWN, we have been working our asses off for this case... I want to go home and I can't all because this stupid girl won't admit who she really is"
"I'm sorry, but you just have know idea the pain that girl went through," I say while a single tear streams down my face....what I went through... I haven't cried since the day I left two years ago.
