The Regression Remote

Missing

Some of this chapter will be from Julia's perspective and some Trevor's perspective

Trevor's perspective:

I walked down the hall with my new wife headed to the room that Connor was supposed to be in. When the room came in my line of sight I saw that the door was open. A big shock of fear spread through me. I let go of Julia's arm and ran at full speed towards the room. When I looked in the room Connor wasn't there. He was gone. I was panicking when Julia touched my shoulder. "What's wrong darling?" Julia asked. "Connor was supposed to be in this room but he's not. My little boy is gone." I said while panting. I looked at Julia's face and I saw that she was just as scared as me. I ran back to the chapel to get help. Everyone ran out of the chapel calling Connor's name. I called the police and they set out to find him. I collapsed on the floor crying. I knew I shouldn't have left him alone. It was all my fault.

After an hour I got up off of the floor still crying. I went to go get Alex. Once I had Alex I took out my phone and called my mother. "Mom, will you take Alex home and stay with him there?" I said into the phone. "Yes of course." She replied. "There is a lock box under one of the front steps. The combination is 1254309. I won't be home until I find Connor." I said back. I hung up the phone and I headed out. Suddenly I got a notification on my phone that said that a hurricane was coming. My panic level rose even more. Connor was out there with a hurricane coming. I knew that Alex would be safe at home. I had the whole house hurricane proofed. There wouldn't even be a scratch on the house. I  dialed Julia's number on my phone but I didn't get an answer. She must have been so mad that I left. 

I was about 20 miles away from the church when the hurricane hit. The wind was so powerful. But I made it back home safely. I parked my car in the garage and ran inside. My mother was in my room singing to Alex to keep him calm during the loud storm. I sat on Connor's bed fearing that I had lost him forever. Fearing that he was dead.

Julia's perspective:

Seeing Trevor so scared broke my heart. I felt like it was my fault. Apparently Connor didn't want me to be his mother and that made me sad. I shoved those feelings away and replaced them with determination. I had to find Connor and bring him back to Trevor. I kicked off my silver shoes and ripped the part of my dress that covered my knees and below so that I could run faster. I knew I had to be strategic. What does Connor like to do? Where would he go if he was lost? It hit me. I remember Trevor saying that Connor loves to watch the sea from up high so he must be high up on a cliff that overlooked the sea. There are five cliffs that overlook the sea. Considering the time he went missing and how far he could go physically there was only one cliff that he could go to. I ran out of the church and followed a path that led to the Northern cliffs. I stepped on thorns and rocks that hurt my feet but I continued. I wouldn't stop until I found Connor. When I got up to the top of the Northern cliff I heard screaming. I carefully looked down from the cliff and what I saw terrified me. Connor was clinging off of a rock on the cliffs and his hands were slipping. I had to act fast and that's when I saw a hurricane in the distance. I ripped off my veil and took the two ends in my hands to create a hammock-like net. I lowered it down and told Connor to let go. He let go. He fell onto the net and lifted him up. I picked him up and held him close to me. That's when I saw a cave. I ran to the cave and I made it in with Connor in my arms just before the hurricane hit. We were safe. Connor looked at me. "You saved me?" He asked. "Of course I did. You are my son. You're my little boy now too. Why did you run away?" I said. My Mommy abandoned me when she found out about my condition. I can't age past 4 years old and even for a 4 year old I'm really small and I can't be potty trained. When someone tries to teach me the memory disappears. She abandoned me. I was afraid that you would do the same." He confessed. "Connor I knew about your condition and Alex's. That is one of the first things that Trevor told me when we first started dating. I never cared about that. I cared about you and Alex. I was so happy to be your new Mommy. I will never abandon you." I said sweetly. Then Connor did something unexpected. He jumped into my arms and gave me a huge hug. During the hug I heard a noise coming from his diaper. He was peeing. I was okay with it. He's my son. "Go ahead get it all out. I don't mind." I said. When he yawned he curled up on my lap. "I love you" I whispered as I covered him up with my veil as a blanket.

After hours of waiting the hurricane was gone and morning had come. Connor woke up and he said "Mommy, I want to go home." "Then let's go sweetie." I replied. I wrapped my arms around him and I started to carry him home. Halfway he started to grunt and push in my arms and I knew he was pooping. "Let it all out. We'll be home in about an hour.

After a few hours of walking, my son and I arrived home. The front door slammed open and Trevor ran out. "You found him. Oh thank you honey. You are such a great mother and wife. He leaned forward to check Connor's diaper. "Here let me change him" Trevor said. "I want Mommy to change me." Connor said. Trevor was shocked. "He only lets me change his diaper. He must love you if he wants you to change his diaper." Trevor said. I looked up and said I would be happy to change his diaper. Let's get inside sweetie." I said carrying him to his bedroom for a diaper change.
