as a single mother who couldn't be at home all the time Julia had begun to place her trust in her male friend to look after her daughter however her worst fears became a reality when she decided to check the CCTV footage of her home while at work to her horror she witnessed her male friend taking her daughter into a van and driving away with two unfamiliar men the devilish alarm clock refused to stop ringing as the first rays of the morning sun peaked through the clouds Julia groaned in frustration as she struggled to reach her bedside clock the incessant trink reminded her that she'd be late if she didn't get up in a fit of annoyance Julia almost kicked the clock to the floor as she finally turned it off she threw off her blanket and sat on the edge of her bed stretching her limbs another hectic day lay ahead she needed to prepare Ashley for school and get ready for work as a nurse at the City Hospital Julia often worked long hours and multiple shifts to make ends meet and ensure that Ashley never missed out on anything being a single parent had not been easy for her especially after her husband's death with the sun shining brightly outside Julia Rose from her bed and freshened up before making her way to Ashley's room honey it's time to wake up you don't want to be late for school Julia called out as she drew the blind and leaned in to kiss Ashley's cheeks come on princess rise and shine we can't be late Mommy can't I have five more minutes of sleep please Ashley pleaded with a yawn Julia smiled at her daughter and gently remov the blanket before scooping her up in her arms well you can always take a nap later in the day but for now we have to get going handing Ashley her toothbrush Julia left her to get ready while she headed downstairs to the kitchen there she quickly assembled sandwiches and fresh orange juice for breakfast once Ashley was ready Julia fed her breakfast and dropped her off at the bus stop be good and have fun sweetie Julia said waving goodbye as the school bus drove off as she watched the bus disappear down the street Julia let out a sigh of relief I did it she whispered to herself I didn't give up today Julia returned home took a quick sh hour and drove off to work eating a breakfast bar in the car as she arrived at the hospital she realized getting home in time to prepare lunch would be impossible because she had a long list of patients to attend to yet again Julia was stuck at work which meant missing out on the time she spent with Ashley but Julia didn't have a choice she was doing it all for Ashley and herself she'd hate to see her daughter suffer just because she failed to be a good mother so as Julia sat at her desk she dialed her best friend Marco she'd known him since college and he'd always come through for her whenever she needed help moreover Ashley loved spending time with him so Julia asked him if he could look after Ashley you know I'm sorry I'm doing this to you but these shifts are just treacherous she sighed can you please be there by the time she's back from school ER well I've got a consignment to deliver to your neighborhood so relax no problem for me I'll meet you at the hospital in sometime yeah going to need the house keys oh yes sure thanks Marco you're an angel hey hey don't mention it I love hanging out with Ashley she's a lot of joy to be around I'm sure she feels the same way about you Julia chuckled look I'm sorry again for trembling you and thanks as I said no issues Marco told her Ashley will be safe with me and we're gun have fun and you know what I feel she loves me more he teased her Julia let out a sigh I wouldn't be surprised if she said something like that you are always there for her while I am not wo whoa relax okay I didn't mean to put it across like that you're her mother she has to love you so don't worry I'll take care of her and meet you at the hospital later Oak see yeah Julia felt terrible about leaving her young daughter with her male best friend but she didn't have a choice there and this wasn't the first time she'd entrusted Ashley's care to Marco he'd stepped in for them countless times before so she trusted him completely and blindly but Julia's female friends thought differently they often told her she was risking Ashley's safety by leaving her in the company of a grown strange man Marco had been an amazing trustworthy friend of Julius but his appearance often severed the wrong impression to strangers he was a tall man with a slender frame long hair and Tattoos covering virtually his entire body nobody could Envision him looking after a little girl so Julia's female friends especially her close friend Rose often told her not to trust Marco for all we know he may do something horrible to her Julia and all you'd have on that day would be regrets you do know he planned his child and wife's murder right he got them killed and made it look like a a car accident that's what they're all saying oh come on Julia always defended Marco at ways and ACI ENT you need to stop trusting those rumors Rose he might look like Slender Man to others but he's a gentleman Ashley trusts him more than I do Julia had never expected anything to go wrong Marco had been such a sweet caring Soul after all but her worst nightmares came true that day Julia had finished her shift and was on her way home when she was unexpectedly called back it was an emergency case and there was a shortage of nurses Julia called Marco and informed him she'd be home later than usual and he said it was fine but 2 hours after talking to Marco on the phone she got an unexpected call from Rose telling her she was a fool to trust him what the hell Julia I had just came to your house with a cake for Ashley and saw the weirdest thing happen that that guy just took Ashley with him Rose said what what do you mean Marco Julia asked calmly she didn't take Rose's words seriously as she trusted Marco he loaded her into a godamn

oh my she's so young I don't know where he took her I don't have my car with me or I would have followed him juliia could feel her heart racing against her chest she trusted Marco of course she did

Marco twice even Thrice but he didn't return her calls and soon his phone was off what the hell he turned his phone off she fumed Julia grew more worried and began panicking she immediately checked the CCTV cameras of her house and gasped in shock what the hell did he think he was doing she started crying OMG who are those men where did he take her with them Julia's CCTV footage showed three men

didn't pick up when I called Marco what in the world were you thinking all right now relax I just took her out as Marco began narrating why he didn't take Julia's calls Julia and Rose felt awful for judging him your B roof was leaking the pipes were old I just thought I could fix it had to run to the hardware store and couldn't leave Ashley alone but then you know plans changed and we decided to stop by the amusement park Ashley really wanted her cotton candy so I bought her that and he added as for the call my phone was on silent and the battery died just as I was going to answer Bill and Adam hadn't brought their phones with them either so I drove back from the park as quickly as I could hey I understand how hard you work to provide for yourg da Marco slowed down and softened his voice so all I wanted to do was make your life a little easier and prepare a surprise dinner for you if you hadn't hurried home and ruined the surprise for yourself by then Julia felt terrible for not believing her friend and Imagining the worst case scenarios she realized she'd been caught up in Rose's doubts and made a huge mistake by doubting Marco jwes I'm sorry for causing you so much worry today Marco wiped his friends tears years I can only imagine what you must have gone through stupid me I should have called before taking Ashley out it won't happen again Julia forgave him she also apologized to him for the misunderstanding and so did Rose once Rose had gone home Marco offered to make dinner for Julia and Ashley listen we've all had a long day so how about we have a good dinner together and relax Julia couldn't refuse she profusely apologized to Marco again as they all sat down to eat and smiled shily remember Ashley she then told her little daughter we should never trust the bad things other people say about our loved ones rumors are a terrible terrible thing we need to learn to trust the people we love for their deeds like we trust Marco Ashley nodded happily loving the pizza Marco had made and Marco and Julia exchanged a fleeting glance a look of knowing that she would never doubt him again again that she was grateful to have a friend like him and that he would always be there for her and Ashley
