I warn you, this entry is a BOOK- but plz read if you know me...
Last night
Yesterday Katherine and I were supposed to spend the entire day together- but she never called me in the morning... So i assumed she still went to school and returned to sleep. Then when 2:30 came around, i called and her dad said she would be home at 4:30. So, 4:45 came around and he said she wasnt home yet. Around 5, her dad called me asking whether she was with me, and i had to inform him that she wasnt- which is why i kept calling the house to find her. He drove down to the highschool to find her but she wasnt there. We were all begining to get worried. Instead of going out to dinner with my family, i drove to her house and tried helping her parents in any way I could to help find her. It was now 6:50- the police arrived. They asked her parents a ton of questions and asked if she had a boyfriend to see if she was with him (i had to interject to let them know i was her boyfriend.)...~ for those of you who didnt know, her and i were trying to hide the fact we were together from her parents for the reason of how we met ~ SO ANYWAYS... We're still sitting there- its now 7:00pm, i decide to drive around the area to see if shes walking home anywhere. While i'm gone, her father calls CMC to see if any Jane Doe's have been brought in because Katherine does not wear any identification of any kind... which is both scary and crazy if you ask me... So yea, i come back, its 7:15, i didnt find her... We sit there praying to god she can at least call us to let us know shes alright... 7:35 comes around. The door opens. Its Katherine. The second she walks into the door i burst into tears just thankful that she was alive. The entire time she was gone all I could think about was that maybe she had gotten jumped by a girl who fought her last year again, or maybe the manchester rapist had gotten her since i heard he hit another girl a month ago... Just every possible horror scenario that could run through my head was all i could think about. Her dad yells at her for doing this to us, and told her that it wasnt even just that they were worried, but that I was worried, and scared for her. He told me i could talk to her for afew minutes and the only things i could say while sobbing uncontrollably on her shoulder were "i'm so glad you're safe, i'm so glad you're okay, i love you, dont do this to me ever again, i'm so glad you're okay, I love you...." and so on and so forth. Her dad told her shes not allowed to go anywhere with me for awhile, but that I can still come to see her as long as a parent is home- which i appreciated greatly. Needless to say I think last night i got her parents approval (i just met her mom last night) and her dad only met me once prior to that. I think I showed them that I like her more than just a stupid highschool boyfriend- but that I care about her and take our relationship seriously.
