Chapter 9: Percy

I didn’t hear from Laura the next day. I went to her apartment but no one answered the doorbell. I decided to give her some space. I texted her to contact me whenever she was ready to talk about our future. No answer.

The next day I texted her. Again I got no answer. Then called and it went straight to voicemail, I left a message. Still no reply.

I called Amanda and asked her if she had any news from Laura. She told me she hadn’t heard from her in a while. Her texts and calls got the same result as mine.

I kept sending increasingly frantic texts but after getting no replies I went to her parents’ home.

Laura’s parents weren’t there. The guy who opened the door didn’t know or didn’t want to tell me anything about Laura or what was going on. At that point, I started to panic, thinking her parents had kidnapped her and taken her to Europe.

The next day I got a text from Laura. “Don’t try to contact me. I hate you! I don’t want to see you anymore. I don’t want to hear from you. I don’t want to ever, ever talk to you again! I’ll get a restriction order if necessary. Whatever you need, contact the family lawyer.”

The text ended with the name and address of a legal firm.

It felt like being part of a Twilight Zone episode.

I went to her parents’ home again, but the doorman refused to let me in and told me that if I kept bothering them or Laura they were going to call the police.

I decided to see a lawyer and explained to him the situation.

“It doesn’t make sense. She’s not like this. We were good. We were talking about it.”

“Hormones can scramble a pregnant girl’s brain pretty badly. Give her some time, maybe she’ll come around,” the lawyer explained to me.

“I want to be there for her and my baby.”

“That’s great, Mr. Wittmore, and speaks volumes of you as a person, but if she doesn’t want you around there is very little you can do.

“You won’t like this, but it’s true and sometimes the truth hurts. If your girlfriend doesn’t want to see you and her family has money, she’s probably in another country now.”
