“She’s back,” Alex said. It’s been ten years since Elena disappeared. Since childhood, Alex and Elena were Best friends; they went to the same elementary school, middle school, and high school. They spend all their time with each other until Junior year of high school, that’s when Elena disappeared. Alex Adams John was her name her family moved to Oak town in Venus state about 20 years ago before they had James, Alex, and Henry. Alex was the only girl; her mother, Diana, and father, Adam, moved to Oak town for a better start. Oak town is a town full of dark secrets, but everyone knows everything about everybody; it’s like a news channel that judges and speaks.

Elena was Alex’s neighbor, but they didn’t know until they met on the first day of school. Elena Nelson Thomas was also the only girl in her family; Elena is the only child Mrs was lucky to have Elena because the doctors told her that it’s difficult for Mrs. Nelson to have babies. Mr. Nelson was like a second father to Alex, but when Elena disappeared, Mrs. and Mr. Nelson were broken. Their only child was gone and left a note saying,” please don’t look for me. Please tell Alex sorry for leaving.” The letter the police and Elena’s parents found. The only person who knows where Elena left off was strange. November 13, 2007, after Elena came back from Alex’s house around 5 pm, it was already dark and rainy. Alex and Elena are 17 years old and were ready from their senior year of college, but only one will graduate. After Elena arrived home, she felt unsafe; her parents have left for night data and told her that they are gone for a while, what she didn’t know it will be the last time to be home. Oak town is dark, and the only dark house was Richard’s house. Mr. Richard was dark and lived by himself after his wife committed suicide in their bedroom. Mr. Richard was a lonely older man in his forties, but nobody knew him, only his dead wife. Elena was getting ready to take a shower when she heard the sound of her bedroom door open, but she thought her parents came. Mr. Richard has been spying for over two years on the Nelson family and mainly their daughter Elena. After two years, he finally decided to take what was his. Richard walks slowly and quickly. He had a face mask and gloves; he was ready. As soon Elena left the bathroom, he attacked. He put his in her mouth and threatened her not to scream or do Anything stupid” I will kill you and your family if you don’t sit your stupid mouth.” She tried to attack his punch, but the next she felt was a hit in her head, and blackness takes over. 

A monster was attacking the only thing Elena can remember from that night! It’s been tens of years. Elena has was locked in the basement. You ask where in the basement? Mr. Richard has a huge home, and it’s dark! Nobody has been in his house before, only his wife. Mr. Richard is a white man with blond hair and blue eyes but fits, strong! “You think nobody will find out what you did!” Richard “hahaha, you have been here for ten years even your parents forgot about and your best friend she moved out and married. I think you should live your fate of being here with me.” Elena:” why! Why did you kidnaped? What have I done. Richard: oh my sweet Elena, you weren’t the one I wanted, Alex was the one I wanted she is beautiful with long brown hair and gray eyes and, Elena: “shut up you disgusting pig, your at the age of my father how could ever think of Alex and me that way!” Richard” I can do or think whatever I want any way you should get rest tomorrow is going very hard for you.” Elena: “wait, please don’t leave me here at least today let me go up with you to the living room or your room and watch the movie for the last time, please! I’m begging for the last time!” Richard:” only if you don’t try Anything stupid.” Elena nodded.

Alex 

“It’s been years since Elena’s disappearance, and I know for sure Elena didn’t leave! We talked that night about our future and the little crush I had. And she told me she liked my old brother. I wish I didn’t let her leave that day.” What was weird in the Oak town was Mr. Richard; after few months of Elena disappears, he seems alive. Like he would leave his house and come by my parents’ house and talk to me about college, he even asked me if he was dating Michael! “Good afternoon Alex, good afternoon Mr. Richard, oh please call me Richard, oh ok! How is the senior year or year?” Alex “good, but it could be better if Elena were here.” Richard: I know the feeling of losing a loved one”. Alex felt something was wrong with Mr. Richard and talked to Nelson and Adam as if he knew everything about them. After a few of Elena disappears, Mr. Nelson and his wife moved out of the town trying to start a new life but would come back on Elena’s birthday. Alex left with her boyfriend for college in New York, but after six years, she came to her hometown for her brother Henry’s wedding. James was gone after Elena left, he liked her and was planning to ask her out, but that day never came. “Mom, do you think they will come?” Alex said, “I don’t know, honey; they still hurt.” Diana said 

Today is June 20, 2017, and it’s Alex and Michael’s wedding. The only Alex wished for is Elena being with her in these moments because they told each other.” are you sure honey, you want the wedding in the backyard of this house.” Mr. Adam told Alex 

“Yes, dad, this where I always wanted my wedding to be,” Alex said. 

“Richard, please let see Alex’s wedding,” Elena said, crying and begging. “Elena, I didn’t kill two years ago because you Begged me and told me you would listen to everything I said,” Richard said to Elena. Elena listened to him and did not see Alex’s wedding, but Richard forgot to lock the basement door because he was very excited to see Alex. “Oh god, it’s my only chance to run!” Elena said it’s like Git’shave listen to her prayer. Once Mr.Richard left, and Elena waited 5 minutes, shehe bedroom and jumped the window. The wedding music was loud, and nobody would hear Elena, so she jumped from the down behind Mr. Richard’s home and ran to her empty .home, she runs as fast she would. Once Elena arrived backyard, Elena broke the glass door and got in and checked if the electricity is working, and to her luck, it was. She picked up the phone and called the police and, after 7 minutes long police arrived to tat Nelson house. Alex:” Mom, why are there cops in Nelson’s house? Did something happened.” Alex said, very worried. Diana:” Alex, I will go and check you finish getting ready; it’s almost time.” Alex didn’t listen and left the house running to the Nelson, hoping for something. Once she arrives, she runs into Elena’s arm and fell. “She’s back, and please tell me I’m not dreaming; tell me you are real, please tell me.” Alex said Elena just cried and hugged Alex” Alex, and I’m here, please don’t leave me, please don’t.” Elena said. Alex’s mother Diana stood there shocked, but then she ran and called her best friend, Brooklyn. “Hello Brooklyn, do you hear me?”

“Yes, I can, Diana; sorry for not coming, you know why,” Elena’s mother said. “Brooklyn Elena is here he,” Diana said.” what are you talking about,” Brooklyn said.” please come now, right now Elena is here, and she doesn’t look good, please just come!”. Diana said and hanged up. While Alex was hugging, Elena was trying to say something to the police before Richard know and runway. “Alex, it’s Richard, Richard he did to me he kidnaped me” Alex:” what are you talking about?

Elena: Richard, he kidnaped me, please go get him, or he will run away!” Elena was screaming at the police. Once they went to Alex’s house and that’s when everyone stood still. Adam: “what’s going on here, Alex? Why are the police here?” Dad, they are here for someone, and that’s Richard.” police:” Mr. Richard, You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law”.  

After the police arrest Mr. Richard, the Adam family took Elena to the hospital. Elena was 5’8, very thin and pale. There are marks everywhere in her body. “Hi, we are here for Elena Nelson,” Brooklyn said 

Nurse:” and you are her? 

Mr. Nelson:” we are her parents; please, what room.” Once the nurse said what room Elena is, both run as fast they could to see their daughter after ten years. Once they arrived at the room, they saw Alex in a white wedding dress, and next to her was Diana and Elena lying down. “Oh my god, Elena, my baby,” Mrs. Nelson said, crying and hugging her daughter. Mr. Nelson was tearing waiting to hug his daughter and hold her to say she’s safe.

 Mr. Richard was sentenced to death to kill his wife, kidnapping, sexually assaulting her, and torture Elena. It was the end to Mr. Richard, but it was a new beginning of life for Elena. 

After eight months, Alex was having her wedding again, but this with Elena and the family. The Nelson family are staying in Oak town for Alex’s wedding, but they will move to New York for a better life after what has happened to their only child.” oh my god, you can’t believe you are getting married today,” Elena said. “Haha, I know I can’t imagine being married and having kids, but that’s part of life, completing it with someone you love,” Alex said. Alex’s wedding was a blissful day, and everyone stays until midnight and enjoys watching the fireworks. However, it was a happy ending for Alex and a new beginning for Elena to share life with someone she once loved.  

The end.
