LRChapter9

A few weeks went by, and Kevin and Magdalena were oblivious in their own happiness. They'd plan to marry the following summer back in Kevin's hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. Kevin and Magdalena balanced both work and their personal lives. Kevin had a few months off; right before he began to tour for the new album, and Magdalena was still working at the bar, but also had plans to open a club of her own. Magdalena finally seemed happy with how her life was turning out. She was happy with the man that she loved, and was happy to start a family pretty soon. She was happy that Nathan was finally out her life, and no longer made her scared to live her life in independence.

Late one night, while Magdalena was leaving the bar, she got this strange feeling in her stomach. She had a feeling that it was the baby, but realized that the feeling in her stomach was familiar. As she was leaving the bar, and putting on her coat, she looked up at the sky and saw a full moon. Her mother always told her that a full moon was a sign of something chaotic or something out of the ordinary was going to happen. She walked to her car, and heard her cell phone ring. She answered it and it was Kevin. Kevin was asking if Magdalena was on her way home, and Magdalena said she was. She sat on the hood of her car, and talked to Kevin for a few minutes. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired though. It's just these long hours I'm working, and all the paper work I'm doing for the other club. Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Remember, I can take care..." Magdalena said, just before she felt someone grab her shoulder. Magdalena screamed and turned around. "What the fuck are you doing here?" Magdalena asked, just before dropping her cell phone.

Nathan was standing on the other side of the car with a loaded gun in his hand. His eyes were filled with hate and revenge. "So what's this about you getting engaged to that fag in that boy band?" Nathan said as he grabbed Magdalena by her hair and put the gun up to her neck. "Answer me. You love him more than me all of a sudden." He yelled. Magdalena couldn't speak as she felt the cold metal of the gun press against her head. She felt her skin crawl as she heard Nathan's voice. She wanted nothing to do with him, and he happened to reappear back into her life. "You think a lousy jail was going to hold me back. My love for you broke me out of jail." He said. He then turned Magdalena around to look her in her eyes. "God, you've gotten a lot more beautiful since the last time I saw you. I guess that pretty boy is treating you pretty good."

"Please just let me go." Magdalena managed to say. She felt tears roll down her cheek. Nathan only slapped Magdalena across her face, and punched her in her stomach. Magdalena screamed and couldn't breathe. Nathan slapped her again, and Magdalena passed out from the pain. Nathan threw Magdalena over his shoulder, and threw her into his truck. He drove off without saying a word.

Kevin was at home worrying about what happened to Magdalena. He lost connection with her while she was talking to him. It was unlike her to leave him hanging. Kevin immediately called AJ over to his house and asked him to drive him to the bar where Magdalena was working at. Thirty minutes later, Kevin and AJ arrived and saw Magdalena's car still in the parking lot, but
didn't see Magdalena anywhere in sight. AJ ran inside and couldn't find Magdalena anywhere. Kevin searched the parking lot and saw Magdalena's purse and cell phone still on the ground. Kevin dropped down to his knees and cried. He feared that something terrifying had happened to her. AJ walked out of the bar with Magdalena's friend, Nicole. They both saw Kevin on the ground, crying, and AJ consoled Kevin.

"Kevin, calm down. Maggie's okay." AJ said.

"No she's not. That asshole's got her. I know he does." Kevin said

"Yeah, he probably does. I mean since he broke out of jail and everything." Nicole said. AJ and Kevin both looked at Nicole with anger in their faces.

"You knew about Nathan being out of jail, and you didn't tell us!" Kevin yelled.

"I just found out myself like three seconds after Magdalena walked out of the bar. I was going to call her and tell her, but when I walked out of her she was gone." Nicole said. "I knew he would do something like this. Nathan is the type of man that always gets what he wants."

"Do you have any idea where they could be?" AJ asked. Nicole said she had an idea, but was scared to say.

Kevin grew angry and grabbed Nicole by her shoulders. He shook her while yelling "damn it! Tell me where Maggie is. I need to find her." Nicole screamed and pushed Kevin away.

"Jesus! I'm not sure if she's there, but she might be at this old house that's not far from here. It's just downtown right before you get to the mall. You won't miss it, because of the condition of the house. I swear it's like dangerous and is about to be torn down." Nicole said. Kevin then got into his car, and drove off. Nicole screamed and tried to stop him, but Kevin was already gone. "Oh my god! He's going to get himself killed!" Nicole said. She began to cry, and shake in fear. "You have to stop him."

"Trust me, I will. Just call the police, and meet me back out here." AJ said.
