Hello everyone. As you can see, I managed to free myself. This morning my three kidnappers were arguing about who was going to leave and who was to stay. As such, the one who was tying me to the chair wasn't paying attention and didn't notice that my ankle was loose. I was able to free my right foot. I then waited for my chance. Later that morning, after two of them left, the remaining one brought me my lunch. He untied my hands so I could eat. I figured this was my chance and when he said with an evil stare, "I am going to have my way with you, and no one is going to stop me." I looked at him and replied, "Great, that will be the best 5 seconds of my life, assuming I can feel anything that small." His eyes filled with anger, as he backhanded me, causing me to spill my tray of food. He then leaned in close and said something about how I would feel it. He was now close enough to me. I punched him in the Adam's Apple as hard as I could. His eyes went wide, and he stood upright, gasping for air. I stood up, moved to his side, and with my one free foot, I stomped hard on the side of his knee, bending it in a new direction. He fell to the ground. I quickly grabbed his gun and then untied the chair from my other leg. I grabbed his phone and using his fingerprint, I unlocked it and called my dad. I sent him a pin from the phone. He was surprised that I was still in New York City. While I waited for my dad, I changed the passcode on the phone in case I needed to use it again so that I wouldn't have to touch my kidnapper.

My Dad arrived in 10 minutes, followed by the police. The police arrested the man and took my statement. They also had the medics look me over. Once cleared, on the way to Kayla’s apartment, I started crying uncontrollably. My dad pulled over and just held me. Everything I was holding back just came rushing out.

Of course, when I got to the apartment, my mom and sister were all over me, making sure I was okay. I am happy that my sister only has a two-bedroom apartment. My parents are in one and I have to share a bed with my sister. I admit that I am still shaken and am so glad to have my family so close.
