Pineapple: HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MEEE?!
Lets just say I scarred her emotionally after she read this chapter, so yeah. Part of this chapter is pretty powerful, so get your tissues. I even cried when I wrote it.
Pineapple: WHY?!
Also, thank you guys SOOOOOOO MUCH! I WAS NOMINATED FOR NICEST AUTHOR OF 2014! THE FEELS! K, I need to calm down.
Pineapple: You should of been nominated for most evil author...
You know what?! Ugh, forget it! Let's just get to the story! Also, Demiiii1020, Laura fainted out if shock, btw. Also, I don't have a kik. I know, it sounds sad... Anyway, let's get to the story! Grab your tissues boxes! I don't own anything recognizable.
Laura's P.O.V
I woke up and I saw a mop of blonde hair. At first I was hoping it was Ross. But, when my vision focused I saw Riker standing above me. I felt disappointed and relieved at the same time. He gave me a small smile.
"You feeling okay?" he asked.
"Yeah," I replied, "What happened?"
I sat up and all of the memories came rushing back to me. Then, I saw Zendaya and Rocky sitting on the couch next to me. I screamed and fell on the floor. Riker and Rydel helped me stand up.
"Should I leave?" Rocky asked.
"No, I'm sorry. It's just, the way Ross told me about you, I thought you were dead," I replied.
I sat back down and Rocky shrugged.
"Well, I'm obviously not dead. My parents were going to ship me off to military school, but I escaped the second they left me alone in the car," Rocky explained.
"What about your brothers?" I asked.
He looked at me and his eyes went dark.
"Ratliff is okay, but Ryland is a bastard. At least he turned into one. I don't know what happened to him, but he's definitely not my brother," Rocky replied.
Zendaya put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
"We think Ryland has a connection with Mrs. Williams," Zendaya said,"I mean, he never liked Ross at all. All he ever talked about was wanting to get rid of him."
"How do you know Ryland?" Rydel asked.
"I've know Rocky since we were born. But, he decided to tell me about Ross at the last minute," she answered, sending a death glare Rocky's way.
He put his hands up to defend himself.
"Okay, in my defense, my parents convinced me he was dead!" Rocky said.
I felt the tears in my eyes. What if he is dead? What if he's hurt? What if he's calling my name and asking me to come for him? All these thoughts were racing through my head until Raini snapped her fingers in my face. I snapped out of it and looked at her. She had my house phone in her hands with a scared expression on her face.
"Raini, what's wrong?" I asked nervously.
She just handed me the phone. I carefully took it and pressed it against my ear.
"Hello?" I asked quietly.
"Check your email," a creepy voice replied.
Then, the person hung up. I put the phone down and looked at Riker.
"Get my laptop," I said.
Without hesitation, Riker ran upstairs and came back down with my laptop. I turned it on and logged onto my email account.
"Who was on the phone?" Calum asked.
"I have no idea, it just sounded like some creepy stalker," I replied.
When I opened up my email, it showed me a request for a live stream. Everyone crowded around my computer and we froze at what we saw.
"I think we should open it," Zendaya said.
"What if it's a bomb? Or an ad? Or one of those tacky commercials for Uncle Magic?" Calum panicked.
Everyone gave him a weird look.
"Seriously? You ask those questions at a time like this?" Rydel asked annoyed.
"That's Calum for you," Riker muttered.
"I agree with Zendaya," I finally said.
"Well then, open it before you change your mind," Rocky urged.
I rolled my eyes at his impatient-ness and opened up the live stream. My heart shattered into a million, no, a TRILLION pieces at what I saw. Ross was tied to a chair, his hair all over the place. I saw bruises on his arms and cuts on his face. His clothes were dirty and ripped, and he looked skinnier. I had to put my hand over my mouth to keep myself from crying. Raini already broke down crying in Calum's arms, and Riker's face went pale. Rydel had tears in her eyes and Zendaya looked about ready to murder the person that did this to Ross. Rocky even looked like he was going to cry.
"Ross?" I asked quietly.
Then, he picked his head up. All I could see was the fear in his eyes. No other emotion. Just pure fear and terror.
"Laura?" he asked weakly.
"Oh my god! Ross! What the hell did she do to you?" Rydel asked, tears pouring down her face.
"I swear when I get my hands on her," Zendaya growled, clenching her fists.
Then, I saw Ross's eyes widened and he started shaking.
"Ross? What's wrong?" Riker asked nervously.
Then, we saw a hand slap Ross right across the face. He whimpered in pain and the person came into view.
"You," I growled, "YOU MONSTER!"
Mrs. Williams just smirked at me.
"I told you that you would pay," she growled.
Then, she turned around and punched Ross in the stomach. He screamed out in pain, she did it over, and over, and over again. She hit his knee, his leg, his head, and his shoulders. He screamed in pain every time she hit him.
"NO! STOP!" Raini cried.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Rocky shouted,"HE'S JUST A KID!"
She stopped, but just took out a whip instead.
"ROSS!" Zendaya screamed.
She started to whip Ross in the same places and tears were pouring down he face and was screaming in agony.
"STOP! PLEASE!" he begged, "LAURA HELP ME!"
Mrs. Williams was laughing and started to hit him harder.
"STOP!" I screamed, "STOP IT!"
Then, she crossed the line when she whipped Ross on the back of his head. My eyes widened in shock and everyone froze. We could literally hear the whip connecting with Ross's head. He let out a shrill scream and I could see the cut that the whip left. Tears were streaming down his face as well ours. Then, she put the whip down and faced us. She looked at me with an evil glow in her eyes. This woman has to be the devil or something. I know it.
"You know, I'm not working alone. In fact, the person I'm working with is in that very room with you right now. Don't worry, you'll figure it out soon enough. Say your goodbyes to Ross, because you'll never see him again," Mrs. Williams growled.
Then, she went out of view. Ross faced us again, mainly at me. I couldn't stand to look at him so broken and scared. He was trembling in fear and I've never seen anyone this scared in my entire life.
"Please save me Laura," he begged, "Please."
Then, the screen went black.
Ross's P.O.V
Mrs. Williams shut the camera off and came over to me. I shrunk in my seat and started to shake in fear. She smiled in satisfaction and grabbed her knife. She cut the ropes and made me stand up. I was too weak to even fight her. She dragged me upstairs and threw me in her bedroom and locked the door behind her. I backed up against the wall.
"Please not again," I begged, "I can't take it anymore."
She slashed the knife across my arms, leaving a huge cut in my hoodie and on my arm. I screamed in pain and she slapped me.
"Begging won't do you any good," she spat.
Then, she threw me onto her bed and kept getting closer, and closer to me. I saw the person she was working with walk by, not even a little bit of regret on their face. I can't believe he would do that. No, I cant belive BOTH of them would do that. I thought he was a trustable person. I guess I was wrong. I hope the others figure out who it is, well, who THEY are, because they're trusting the wrong people. I kept backing up until I hit the front of the bed. Then, when she was towering over me, she crashed her lips onto mine, letting my nightmare begin.
Laura's P.O.V
"Who the hell is working with that bitch?" Rydel demanded," It's not me, definitely not me! Ross means the world to me!"
"Well, Zendaya and I are innocent! We would never team up with that whore," Rocky added.
"Well who the fuck is it? I swear to god I don't care if your my friend, I will end you," I growled, pacing around the living room.
"Why would any of us want to hurt Ross?" Riker asked.
"Well, none of us do. It has to be someone else," Raini replied, sitting down at the counter.
"Well, it can't be Melissa, she's to young," I mumbled.
If your wondering, she's spending the day with my parents. I don't want her to be exposed to this situation, even if she knows half of it.
"Well, who else is in here besides us?" Zendaya asked.
"No one! That's who!" Rydel replied in frustration.
"Well, maybe the person isn't adtually here right now. They could just live here. Maybe Mrs. Williams ment that the person is in this room all the time," Riker suggested.
Then, my eyes widened in realization. I gasped and stopped in my tracks. Everyone looked at me.
"What? Did you figure out who it is?" Calum asked.
I nodded my head. It can't be true though, it can't be! Then, Raini must of realized who I was thinking about, because her face went pale.
"Max is working today," she whispered, "It's Max."
Yeah, I JUST did that. So, Max is evil(possibly), and so is Ryland! YEAAHHHH! No. Anyway, did I make you cry? If I did, that has to be a record. Also, Ratliff and Ryland WILL be in the next chapter. But, their is another person working with the she-devil and Max. It's a girl though. Who do you think it is? Just take a wild guess! So, I hoped you guys liked this chapter! R&R! Byeeee!
