Title: My first "Boyfriend" Abducted Me at Age 12 and was planning to Murder My Parents.<br><br>I was 12 years old, so 1996-ish. This was a fun year for me, as I had just started middle school and was making friends and trying to stay on top of my grades. I loved hanging out with these new friends, and we would go to the mall on weekends and play on the school play structure. We were all in our pre-teens, so we were just exploring what it meant to be a teenager, which was very exciting.<br><br>I was a pretty socially awkward kid, still meeting new people and trying to fit in. I was the "new kid" in school as my family had just moved into the area and I transferred to this school. I had about 2 groups of friends. 1 group was made up of kids from the popular clique, who appreciated my sense of humor and enjoyed having me around to laugh at. The other group was made up of "nerdy" kids, who also liked me, because I was smart and they appreciated my weirdness. This made it hard for me to make plans on the weekends, since there were always two groups of kids inviting me places. The nerdy kids would want to have a Dungeons and Dragons marathon, and the cool kids would want to go to the mall or hang out at the park. I really enjoyed both groups for very different reasons.<br><br>However, there was one person who saw me as more than just a friend. His name was Jimmy, and had lived in this neighborhood for his entire life. Jimmy was 2 years older than me, so he was 14 and a Sophomore in High School at the time. He was a year behind in school, so he was probably mentally closer to my age than his physical age. Jimmy was just a little bit "off". He didn't seem to really understand people or social cues, but he had a good heart. To be honest, Jimmy was probably a bit autistic, but in the 90's this wasn't something that was diagnosed unless you were pretty bad. Jimmy was fully functional, but he just seemed a little...oddball. But I liked Jimmy a lot. He was a bit of a loner, as he didn't really fit in with the popular kids and the nerds didn't want to be around him. Jimmy seemed to always have a crush on me, but I was too young to understand this. I just thought Jimmy liked me a lot.<br><br>Jimmy and I would talk on AOL Instant Messenger and spend a lot of time on the phone together. He was always telling me that he was my only "real" friend and that the others didn't really like me. I also confided a lot in Jimmy, as he was someone who always listened to me vent. Jimmy was very easy to talk to, and I felt comfortable that I could tell him anything and he would keep it to himself.<br><br>One night, Jimmy and I were talking on the phone and I was telling him that I was upset about something (can't remember what) but my parents wouldn't let me hang out that night. I said something like "fuck it, I'm just going to run away and come hang out with you". Jimmy said "really?". I thought this was odd, as he knew that I was just joking, but I thought maybe he was messing with me too. I said "Yes, I'm going to sneak out my window and come over". He said "I'll come pick you up". I said "lol no you won't". Jimmy said "Yes I will, there is no one to stop me". <br><br>I thought this conversation was very strange, but I just chalked it up to Jimmy being a weirdo. I went downstairs to watch TV and was hanging out in the living room. I looked out the window and saw Jimmy's car, which was in the street right in front of my house. I thought this was VERY strange, as Jimmy lived a few blocks away and had no reason to be there. I again just shrugged it off, thinking he was messing with me.<br><br>A few minutes later, I excused myself to go to the bathroom. While I was in the bathroom, Jimmy walked through my front door and down the hallway to where I was. I didn't understand what was happening or how he got in, and I was so startled that I started screaming loudly. My dad and mom came running to the bathroom and when they saw Jimmy standing there, they were very confused. My dad asked him what he was doing, and Jimmy said "I'm here for [My name]". They thought this was very strange and asked me what was going on and I had no idea.<br><br>My dad told Jimmy that I couldn't leave the house, and that he needed to go home. Jimmy seemed very confused and started to get angry. He started yelling at my dad and saying "You can't stop me!!" over and over. My dad grabbed Jimmy by the arm and escorted him out of the house. Jimmy was still yelling at my dad as he was being escorted out. When they got to the front door, my dad shut the door and locked it, and Jimmy started hitting the door with his fist. He was still yelling at the door for about 10 minutes.<br><br>The next morning, my dad came into my room and told me to not leave the house under any circumstances. He said that he had called the police and filed a report, as what Jimmy did the night before was breaking and entering and trespassing. My dad told me that he would be driving me to school that day, and to please not go anywhere after school.<br><br>That night, I decided to sneak out of my house to meet up with Jimmy. I don't know why, but I was just drawn to Jimmy and felt bad that I had gotten him in trouble with my dad. I packed a small overnight bag, slipped out my window and walked down the street to where Jimmy's car was parked. It was about 10pm at this point, and Jimmy was sitting in his car waiting for me. I got in and we drove off.<br><br>Over the next 2 weeks, I never went home. I started by going to Jimmy's house, but we quickly decided that we couldn't stay there since his parents would rat us out. So we decided to get a motel room that was close to school. Jimmy would drop me off at school in the morning, and then pick me up after school. I stopped going to my afternoon classes since I didn't care about school anymore. We would sneak back into the motel room and hang out for the rest of the day. At night, Jimmy would drive me back to my neighborhood and we would sit in his car and watch my house. I had to call in sick to school for 2 weeks, and Jimmy would call my parents and pretend to be my older brother.<br><br>Jimmy would talk about how he loved watching my house, and that one day he was going to "get rid of them". I didn't really know what he meant, but I knew it wasn't good. I started trying to find ways to get away from Jimmy, as I knew that I had to get back home. I didn't want Jimmy to hurt my parents, as that thought just seemed too terrible.<br><br>Jimmy was also VERY controlling, as he would get angry if I even looked at another boy. Jimmy would get angry at random things that I would say, and sometimes he would even yell at me for no reason at all. He would always apologize the next day, saying that he loved me so much and was just worried about me.<br><br>One day (I think it was a Saturday, so 2 weeks since I had left my house) Jimmy and I were driving through a park. Jimmy saw a group of kids playing soccer and he got very angry. He started yelling at them and calling them "faggots" which didn't make any sense to me. I tried to calm Jimmy down by grabbing his arm, and he punched me in the face. I was very scared, as I had never seen Jimmy get this angry and I didn't know what to do. We drove back to the motel room and Jimmy started crying. He said that he was so sorry, and hugged me. I didn't know what to say or do at this point, but I knew I had to get away from him.<br><br>That night, Jimmy dropped me off at my house. I don't know if he decided that I should go back, or if he was just being nice to me as an apology, but I took this opportunity to run into my house. My parents were very surprised to see me, as they had been looking EVERYWHERE for me. They were furious that I had lied to them and left them, but also very happy to see me. I explained everything that had happened since I had left, and they called the police. My dad pressed charges for kidnapping, and the judge sentenced Jimmy to community service. My dad thought this wasn't a good enough punishment, so he hired a lawyer to try to get Jimmy locked up. Jimmy was locked up for about 2 years, and I never saw or heard from him again.<br><br>Anyway, that's it. I hope you enjoyed it. It's my first post to this sub.
