Chapter 47
Brady and Philip quietly entered the door and each grabbed a baseball bat to defend themselves. But as they were about to enter the room they heard a car pull up. Brady ran into the room and started hitting his dad in the back. But he wouldn't get off of Belle.
Philip: I grabbed mom and made her come into the room. She said she couldn't go in there that she didn't want to. I dragged her in there and she pulled Brady off of our dad. I grabbed the bat and beat my dad over the head with it and he fell off of my poor defenseless little sister. She was lying there shaking and rocking back and forth. I grabbed a blanket and held her in my arms.
Brady: I sat there and yelled at my mother.
***Flashback***
Brady: Mom how could you let him do this to her?
Mom: I had no idea it was going on, I swear to you Brady.
Brady: You always left her alone with him and when you came back you had to see that she was bruised and in tears. So don't you dare say you don't know.
Brady's mom walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the cabinet. She poured a glass of it and drank it while she tried to explain herself to Brady.
Mom: Brady I couldn't stop him no one can. He always gets what he wants. He did when he won me over his friend. He always gets what he wants. Brady he is a good man he just drinks too much.
Brady: Mom I am calling the Zenons(cops in Phatos).
Mom: Brady no, he can't go to jail I love him.
***End of Flashback***
Philip: So Brady came back into my room where me and Belle were sitting. We couldn't get her to stop shaking. Brady had locked our door to keep our father out. We heard a lot of banging around going on but we were too afraid to leave the room. Brady and I finally decided we had to call the Zenons. But when they got there our parents were gone. They searched everywhere. But there was no trace of them. And to this day they have never found them.
Chloe: So what happened to you guys you were so young?
Brady: They contacted my mom's sister Marlena and her husband John and they agreed to take us in.
Philip: When we moved in with them we changed our last name from Welch to Black hoping that it would harder for our parents to find us. Since they had no idea where we were. Not to mention that we wanted nothing to do with our parents especially my father's last name.
Brady: When we got there we explained to Aunt Marlena what had happened and through her nuturing mother instincts she finally after a month she finally got Belle to talk again. And Aunt Marlena had nightmares of the horrible things that Belle had described to her. One night I heard her telling Uncle John the horrible details of what he did to Belle.
Chloe was in tears and she didn't know what to say. Her boyfriend was pouring his heart out and she was speechless.
Brady: I remember her telling John that Belle had showed her all the places that dad had hurt her and told her that he would beat her if she moved or tried to get away. Marlena said that Belle told her that he had threatened to kill all of us if Belle breathed a word of what went on to anyone.
Chloe: So is that why she wouldn't talk.
Brady: Yes. She has to this day never opened up to anyone about this besides Aunt Marlena. I remember the day that we found out that Aunt Marlena and Uncle John had been killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. Belle fell to pieces and begged us to never leave her alone again. And to this day I have made it my life goal to protect my baby sister. And I promise you if anyone hurts my baby sister again I will kill them.
