Woke by the striking light of the sun I stretched my arms searching for my phone i'm pretty sure that is hiding under my covers somewhere.

There, so many notifications.

Missed calls?

Unknown numbers, i'll deal with them later. I feel a bit better now, just taking my time on reading sweet messages from friends.

Til I heard a knock from the door.

"Happy birthday sweetheart." he greeted with smile & comfort

"Happy seventeenth birthday" my mom added

"Thank youuu" i hugged and kissed them both.

My brother came rushing to my room saying "happy birthday betty boo" he gave me a huge hug and adorable kisses! I love my family.

We all went downstairs to eat breakfast. We are having pancake and bacon, my favorite.

This seems to be going greet, complete family, yummy breakfast. Why this is lovely.

"How was your sleep?" My mom started talking

"It was great,the usual but---" i stopped upon hearing a horn noise coming from the outside.

Who is that? And why are they here so early? Can't they respect a family having breakfast together?!

My dad stood by the door when guy wearing black entered our residence.

"Sorry to disturb you in your meal sir but our boss needs to have an urgent conversation with you" the one wearing shades and a bluetooth on his right ear said.

Well, at least he apologized after barging suddenly on my 17th birthday breakfast.

My dad looked at me, does this mean he needs to go? Really on my birthday?

He stepped towards the guy who looks like the leader of the pack of body guards and started talking.

"Can you spare me this day? It's my daughter's birthday and I need to spend time with her and my family."

"I'm sorry Mr. Fontanilla we just follow rules here." he said too plain, like with no emotion at all.

"Well tell your boss he has to wait" he said with firm authority.

"C'mon Fernando, don't make this job hard for us" he looks like he's being pissed

"No, you can now step outside my house" my dad ordered them to

"Sorry but we can't."

Then they grabbed him and forced him towards their black SUV.

"STOP!!! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM?!!!!!!!" I scream

Why are they taking my father away?

"LET HIM GO!" Mom commanded but they would't listen.

Mom tried to free dad but she was hit by the other guy in black. She was left on the floor.

"AHHHHH!!!" Mom cried

WHAT THE!
What is happening.

"What are you doing?!" I held his arms to stop him.

"You better stay away from this young lady, or just in case, call your lawyer"
And pushed me away.

What.
Just.
Happened?
