Ripped Away And Apart

Kafli 14.

The next few days went on like that, I started to feel better and I can walk normally now but the doc keeps checking up on me and has Max making me take pills. I can now choose to be with him outside or in his office or stay in my room but now my room does not need to be locked. I have not asked Max about his father and I don't think I ever will. The days just run by and I am feeling better, I have not had another attack since that time and I can just feel Max getting more and more worried that today will be the day. I don't know if it is because he wants to hold me or if he is actually worried. He sleeps in my bed every night, in jammies this time and I always fall asleep well away from him but somehow always wake up on his side in his arms. 

I am in my room looking out the window when I see something and I almost fainted at the sight. I jump from the windowsill and run as fast as I can through the house and outside, I run around the side of the house and to the field where I saw them and I am right, there they are standing side by side all six of the men in my family that I know care about me. My three brothers (Olly, Thor and Zach), my father, my grandpa and my godfather/uncle/dads brother. Before them however are a lot of people blocking their way and they look mad and believe me when I say we all have the same temper. They are just better than me at handling them and taking it out on a boxing pad. My grandpa is an old boxer and is ripped, two of my brothers are personal trainers, the other is a football player and my dad and his brother work out together. 

“DADDY?” 

All of the people look at me and I see the relief on my dad's face, I run to him but it takes a little while because they are in the back of the field. People were not sure to let me go past them but I just pushed them out of the way. I jump into my father's arms and hug him tightly, then I hug grandpa and he gives me a kiss on the top of my head. 

“What are you doing here?” I ask in Icelandic smiling. 

My father narrows his eyes at me and I feel like a ten year old again. 

“What the hell Ana! You never got another phone! I came because I thought something was wrong and when I get to the farm they say you left many months ago and they didn't know where! I thought you were having one of your episodes so I tracked your phone and it led me here!” he yells at me in Icelandic. 

I look down at my shoes and kick the ground a little. 

“I am sorry daddy, I just been busy and I feel fine, I am fine!” I try.

“You made your grandmother very worried about missing your phone calls! You promised her you would call every two weeks!” my grandpa yells at me and I feel horrible. 

I love grandma and I know she gets very worried about me, she was always the one sitting by my hospital bed knitting and keeping me company. 

“I am sorry but I am fine, I promise!” I say trying to sound convincing. 

“Well whatever is happening here it is over and we are taking you home now!” my brother says in a low angry voice grabbing my arm. 

“Ana!” 

My eyes widen up and I look back to see Max walking through the people to us with Noah right behind him. He looks angry and he is staring from one man to the other. I look at dad but he is not looking at me, he is looking at Max. 

“Ana come here” Max orders and I can see on Olly’s face that is holding my hand that he is offended by that order. 

“Who are you?” my father asks in english. 

Max looks from me to him, he is standing now before him with about two meters between them. 

“Her boyfriend” 

My father looks from him to me and I just stand there trying to lose the grip on my hand. 

“Well I am her father and I hate to break up this love nest but I am taking her with me home now” my father says looking back at Max. 

I see Max get mad and I twist my hand getting out of Olly’s grip and I run between dad and Max just watching both of them. They are angry and I know both of them want to take me with them. 

“She is not leaving here” Max says. 

“What did you just say? Are you telling me I can not take my own daughter?” my father asks and I can hear that he is now offended and angry too. 

“She is not leaving” 

Taking one step closer to me, Max grabs one of my arms and pulls me closer to him. 

“You better let go of my granddaughter right now young man” my grandpa warns and I swiftly get out of Max’s hold.

I do not need my grandpa to get angry, I mentally slap myself on the forehead at what is with men and their pissing contests. 

“Alright everybody hold the f**k up! Just take a breath and let's stop this pissing contest!” I say angry. 

They all look at me but I see my family listen to my words when Max and Noah are still angry and very close to me. I look at Noah, he looks at me. 

“Calm down!” I order and he backs up. 

I look up at Max, he looks down at me, his face is very angry and I can feel the heat radiating from him. 

“Calm down Max” I warn him in a low voice. 

He takes a few deep breaths and then he just loosens his hold on my arm but he does not let it go. 

“Anabella you are coming home! This is ridiculous, go get your stuff right now” my dad orders me and I feel my anger and power wither away. 

With Max still holding me I look at my father, he has his arms crossed over his chest and I feel like I should obey him. It makes me feel sad that I have to leave, I mean I was forced here but now I feel good here. I look at Max again and he looks down at me. 

“You have to let go of my arm” I say with a hint of sadness in my voice. 

His face changed from anger to shocked horror, I see his lips press together and he is holding everything inside. He just looks at me and I feel him tighten his hold on my arm and I am sure it will bruise but I will just blame Olly. 

“You heard my goddaughter, let her go…” 

Max is still just looking at me but I put my hand on his and nod my head, pushing his hand of mine. I break eye contact and start walking into the house, I don't hear anyone say a word while I am walking inside. I run to my room and put everything in my suitcase and run with it back down, Max still has my phone and computer but I will just buy another one. I already told dad I broke it so I might as well just buy another. When I come back outside, I see Max standing at the same place but Noah is standing in front of him yelling at my brother. 

“She has it fine here and she is not leaving!” 

“She is not fine here! You don't think I saw her new scars and her black eye? I don't know what kind of sick cult this is but she is leaving with us! Her f*****g family!” 

Noah takes a step closer to him and of course my brother takes one too.

“Hey cut it the f**k out! I will kick both of your asses” I yell at them.

I see my grandpa chuckle and start walking towards me, he takes my bag and gives me a kiss on the cheek but not saying a word. Noah looks at me, he then runs to me and stops me bending down real close and whispering. 

“I am begging you Ana, please please don't leave! We can change anything you want, just don't leave!” 

I smile, look at him, put my hand on his that are on my shoulders and push them off. 

“Noah, Max kidn*pped me here, you must have known that I would not stay forever. I however will never forget about you and if I do then my scars will remind me” I say and laugh a little. 

I walk past him and to Max and my family. 

“Alright you have everything let's go, we parked down the street so let's walk Ana” My father says.

“I am going to say goodbye hold on” 

I turn around to face Max, he comes crashing down on my lips and I feel sparks run through my body and I wrap my hands around his neck. We kiss a little but then I break the kiss and lean my forehead on his. 

“Goodbye Max, I don't know what to say but I will never forget about you”

I feel so sad right now, I am very close to crying, why am I so sad to leave him?

“Ana, please don't leave me! You can not leave me! I can't live without you” he says in a very pained and sad voice that shocked me. 

“I have to go Max” 

He goes down on his knees and I gasp, what is he doing? My big angry bad kidnapper is on his knees? My heart ached.

“Ana please, please don't leave me. You cant just leave me” he says in a very sad and broken voice. 

I feel the tears fill my eyes but I just suck them back and lean forward, I kiss him sending him everything in my body through that kiss. Then I lean into his ear and whisper. 

“Find me and take me back” 

Then I run away from him, not looking back, walking with my family away from my kidnapper that I wished would kidnap me again. Wait what?
