Even from 1,792.3 miles away Kym was still trying to pull the strings. She knew since I was 18 she really couldn't do much but that wasn't going to stop her from trying.
The officer said we would have to come with him to the police station, I didn't want Kendra there so I asked if we could drop her off with Richards mom and meet them at the station. The officer said I had to go with him but that Richard could drop her off and then come in afterward.
I went with the officer, I asked him questions about what was going on and he wouldn't answer any of my questions. When we got to the station I was taken to what looked like a conference room and told to wait there. Not very long after a detective walked in, I was already fuming by this point and asked him why I was there. He said that my mother had called the police station in Buena Park and told them I had ran away from home and she thought I would go to California, that she thought I was able to do it with a fake ID.....I couldn't help but laugh. He got a bit upset with me and said that this wasn't something to laugh about, my mother was very concerned about me...........that made me laugh even harder.
I explained to the detective that I had turned 18 on the 25th and that the day after my birthday I had snuck out to the airport and left for California, and I explained why I had done it the way that I did. that Kym wasn't concerned about me, she was just gets off on making things harder for me. He said it would be easy enough to find out by running my social security number.....I gave it to him and waited. When he came back in he said that my story checked out, but the man I was with was still being questioned so i would have to stay in the room till they were done with him. When I asked what he was being questioned for he said my mother had also said that this man was forcing me to make the decision to leave home and was using the daughter we shared against me so I would agree to whatever he said. I told him that I had been with Richard for 3 years and he wasn't forcing me to do anything, he then said that Kym wanted to press charges for statutory rape.......I about lost it right there in front of the detective. He said it would be in my best interest to calm down and wait till they were done with their investigation.
I sat and cried, terrified that the man I loved was going to be arrested. Two hours later the detective came in and said I was free to leave....I said what about Richard? he said he is waiting for you out front. I said (sarcastically) that's awesome can we go get our marriage certificate now and not be harassed? He said sure but we wouldn't getting it today, the clerks office was closed now.
I was so mad I just broke down crying. Richard said it was okay that we would go the next morning. That wasn't the point, the point was that my own mother was hell bent on disrupting my life and hurting me.
The next morning we went to the clerks office and got our marriage certificate. It was a huge relief, it felt like since we had that no matter what Kym did, she couldn't stop us now. When we got home there was a message on out answering machine from Grandma A.......The date had been set, February 12th at 7pm......It was happening, in less than a week I would be married. It felt almost surreal.
