Hey guys! I'm sooo sorry for not updating in so long.
I got busy and then other times when I wasn't busy, I had absolutely no idea what to write.
Anyways, I hope you like this chapter!
Previously on Where Has My Escape Gone:
Mirabella's POV:
As I take Marie into the playroom, I hear Aunt Kim, Uncle Jerry, and Uncle Milton talking about talking about something that, by what it sounds like, is about me.
So I decide to eavesdrop and try to figure out what they're talking about.
"Have you told yet, about her mom?" Aunt Kim asks.
"Not yet." I hear dad say.
"I know it's hard but you need to tell her, you kept it from her for 16 years." Uncle Jerry said.
Tell me what? Kept what from me for me for 16 years?
What aren't they telling me?
Skip an hour*
At the Brewer household*
Mirabella's POV:
"Mom, dad, is there something you're not telling me?" I ask them.
"Jack, we need to tell her." Mom says and dad nods.
"Bells sweetie, we have been keeping this from you for 16 years." Dad says and I nod.
"When you were a baby, I found you on my Uncle's doorstep. Your mother left you since her parents forced her to give you up." Mom said and my jaw dropped.
"I'm adopted?" I ask and my parents nod.
"So that's why Melanie and Will bond more with you guys." I say sadly.
"No, we love you all just the same." Mom said.
"Why? I'm not your real daughter." I said and their jaws dropped.
"Listen to me Mirabella Holly Brewer, you are our daughter. No matter if it's by blood or not. We love you, and we always will." Dad said with a serious look.
"Thanks mom, thanks daddy." I say and hug them.
"I will always love you guys too, you are my parents, no matter what." I say and they smile.
Just then, I hear a knock on the door and I open it to find my best friend for 13 years, Josh standing there, I smile and hug him.
"Hey Josh." I say.
"Hey Bells." He says and with a smile and I invite him in.
"Who is it?" Mom asks.
"It's Josh." I say and my mom smiles and looks around to find my dad. She smiles and I see a plan has formed in her head.
"Bells got a boyfriend Jack!" Mom yells and my dad comes running into the living room.
"Daddy, it's ok." I say and point to my giggling mother.
"Don't do that again Erin." Dad says and smiles.
"Hey, I didn't act alone." Mom says pointing about me.
"Bells…" Dad said.
"Daddy…." I say with my hands on my hips and smile.
"Ever the daddy's girl aren't ya?" Josh asks me teasingly.
I smile and nod.
"Yes I am, and proud of it." I say with a smile and hug my parents.
Chapter 3: So It Starts
Mirabella's POV:
I was out with my parents, Aunt Kim, Aunt Julie, Aunt Jasmine, Uncle Jerry, Uncle Jonah, Uncle Milton, Marie, Melanie, Caleb, Will, Elsa, Anna, Rosie, and Liam at the beach.
I was giving Marie a piggy back ride when she wanted down so we could skip together.
"Hold my hand little duck." I said as we skip off hand in hand.
"Bellie, can you sing for me?" Marie asked me and I smile and nod.
"What song little duck?" I ask her.
"You Don't Know Me." She says with a smile and I nod.
You think you know me
But you don't know me
You think you own me
But you can't control meYou look at me

And I can't convince you
And I don't have to
I think you know me
Marie claps when I'm done and I smile.
We walk past the Black Dragons dojo and everyone glares at each other, but one boy, who waves at me.
I smile and shyly wave back, but that seems to catch my mom and my dad's attention.
"Daddy? Who is that boy?" I ask him.
"That is Sam Johnson, Matt Johnson's son." Dad said and mom looked at Kim.
"Is he a black dragon?" I asked and dad nodded.
"Stay away from them Bells; I don't want you getting hurt." Dad said with a serious look.
"Yes sir." I said and we continue to walk towards our house.
Sam's POV:
I saw a beautiful girl walking towards the dojo with beautiful reddish brown hair and blue eyes, she was smiling and laughing and skipping with a little girl who appeared to be 5 years old.
Her damp tank top clung tightly to her sides and she flipped her hair when the breeze caught it.
And when she started to sing, she had the lungs of an angel.
Apparently, my dad saw me staring at the girl and pulled me to the side.
"Sam, I want you to get to know the girl. Talk to her, get close to her, offer her karate lessons." My dad said with a smirk.
I hate seeing that smirk; it means he has an evil plan. He made me do this once, and I only obey so he won't get mad at me and hurt me.
I nod out of fear from thinking what will happen if I don't obey him.
Mirabella's POV:
"Mom, dad, I'm going to the dojo." I say and they nod.
"Be careful, and make sure you lock up when you leave." Mom said with a smile.
"I will." I say and head towards the dojo.
After about an hour of training, I change and lock up and start heading home.
"Hey there." I hear from behind me and I quickly turn around.
"Sorry to startle you, I'm Sam." He says.
"I'm Mirabella, but most people call me Bells or Bella." I say with a smile.
We talk for about an hour then it started to get late.
"I have to go, but it was nice talking to you." I say and wave.
"Ok, bye." He says and I run off to the house.
When I get home, I was prepared to get yelled at by my over protective dad.
"Where have you been?" Dad asks as I walk into the living room.
"I went to train then I got to talking to Sam…" I start to explain but dad cut me off.
"Sam? Sam Johnson?" Dad asks with anger in his eyes.
"Yes." I say.
"I told you to stay away from him!" Dad yelled. I was startled; yeah my dad was overprotective, but never yelled at me like this.
"But he's really sweet, you might be wrong about him daddy!" I exclaim desperately.
"Bells, I am your father, you have to listen to me!" He yells again.
"You're not my father!" I yell at him and his face turns to shocked and upset.
I gasp at what I said and mentally yell at myself for saying that.
"Daddy, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that." I say and dad walks over to me, without a word, kisses me on the forehead and walks off to his room.
"Mom, you know I didn't mean that." I say with a plea of desperation in my eyes.
"I know sweetie. Just give your dad some time; I know deep down, he knows you truly didn't mean that." Mom said with my face in her hands.
"Ok. Good night." I say and I go to get ready for bed.
As I lay in bed, I kept going over what I said in my head, feeling guiltier every time.
"Dear Lord, please help me to realize that I need to obey my parents and listen to them more often. In your name I pray, Amen."
Again, I am sooo sorry about not updating in a while, and as a reward for keeping you waiting for sooo long, I will be finally updating The New Girl tonight.
I love ya'll!
Keep Kickin' It!
