1 Chapter 12

Matt walked through the front door happily. He walked up the steps and into Bailey's room. His heart sank when he saw her room. Everything was broken. He raked his hands through his hair. How could he be so stupid and leave her home alone? "Bailey!" he yelled thinking she might be someplace. He suddenly heard a whisper. "I'm here daddy." He looked underneath the bed and was surprised when he saw Bailey there. He pulled her out from underneath. "What were you doing down there?" he asked confused. "Jason and Samantha were here. They wanted to take me and do things," she cried. "Don't worry. They are going to jail and you'll never have to see them again," he said hugging her. She breathed in a sigh of relief. Matt opened his mouth to speak, when Jason walked though the door holding a gun. Matt immediately held Bailey closer. "Just hand her over and everything will be ok," Jason said slowly. "Come on dude. Think about this. She loves me and Amy, not you and Sam," Matt said as Bailey started to cry. "Just pass her over," Samantha said impatiently. "No, I'm not giving her to y'all," Matt yelled. A shot suddenly was heard. Bailey screamed. She turned to Matt and saw blood pouring out of his mouth. He let go of her and fell back. Samantha grabbed a crying Bailey. "Daddy. Please help me!" she screamed. Jason walked to Matt and put the gun in his hand. He then walked down the stairs and joined Samantha and Bailey. "Did you put the gun in his hand?" she asked. "Yeah. Everything's under control," he said kissing her. Samantha looked at Bailey meanly. Bailey then spit in her face. Samantha put on a disgusted look and raised her arm up to hit Bailey. Before she could, the door burst open. Samantha and Jason looked shocked at the person that's standing there.
