Austin's POV
I rushed to the hospital and asked the doctors to help my unconscious parents, then asked for Ally's room number. When I got there, I found Dez and Maddie sitting outside her room. "Hey guys, is Ally okay?", I asked panting from all the running I've been doing. I must've looked pretty bad from the looks they were giving me, but my entire world is falling apart, so what did they expect? My fiancé and both my parents are in the hospital, Dez and Maddie are still pretty shaken up (mainly Maddie), and there's some crazy psychos who kidnapped one of my best friends AND MY DAUGHTER! I just can't be okay when all that is going on.
"Yeah, Ally's okay. She should wake up soon. What about your parents and Ella?", Dez asked. I knew I wouldn't be able to say it without completely breaking down, so I just shook my head with tears in my eyes and handed him the note, while sitting on the other side of Maddie as they read.
"SAMANTHA FREEMAN!?", Maddie exclaimed jumping up. "She's awful! We have to find them before she or Tina does something horrible to them! They hate kids!", she cried and started breathing very heavily.
"Excuse me", a doctor said coming out of Ally's room. We all immediately jumped up. "Miss Dawson would like to see those who are waiting for her." We all walked in, afraid to tell her the truth, but knowing we had to.
Ally's POV
Austin, Dez, and Maddie came in my room right after I woke up. I'm glad to see Maddie's okay, but where's Trish, and why do they all look so upset…especially Austin? "Hey", I said. They all looked like they had been, and were about to cry. "What's wrong?"
That's when they all just broke down. Austin was on the floor balling his eyes out, and Dez and Maddie were doing the same standing up. Dez silently handed me a note, and when I read it, it felt like someone had repeatedly stabbed me in the heart and I just couldn't die. It was almost as if I had been left there just to feel the pain instead of dying.
"SHE TOOK MY BABY AND MY BEST FRIEND!", I yelled crying hysterically. "MY BABY! PLEASE NOT MY LITTLE GIRL!"
Just then, Dr. Murphy came running in the room. "What's the matter kids!?", he asked panicking. We were all too upset to answer, so he took the note out of my trembling hands. "Oh Ally, I'm so sorry!", he said and hugged me tightly. He didn't know the whole story, but knew I needed comforting. He must be a really good father. I really needed the comfort of a parent, but the closest I have are currently in the hospital, but Dr. Murphy does act like another father to me. I guess he really does care.
"Why did they have to take my baby?", I asked quietly with the tears still streaming down my face.
"Well Ally, I really don't know. But from what you all have told me and the police, they seemed to have motive", Dr. Murphy said honestly.
This has been going on for hours. The police have asked me numerous questions, and I've basically told them my entire life story. If it involved Tina, Max, Samantha, Ella, Trish, or Elliot, I told it. So, pretty much my whole life. Also, Austin, Dez, Maddie, and I keep breaking down. We haven't had a real conversation yet, because we all burst out crying every few seconds. Austin and I just hold onto each other, and Dez and Maddie do the same for support.
Third Person POV
"Aunt Trish, I'm scared", Ella whispered from the back of the van they were both currently in.
"I know baby. I am to", Trish replied.
"Why did Mrs. Tina and Mrs. Samantha take us?", Ella asked.
"I am your mother! Don't call me Samantha, call me Mom!", Samantha yelled from the driver's seat.
"Aunt Trish, why does the mean lady keep saying she's my mom? My Mommy is Ally Dawson", Ella asked.
"Ally Dawson is not your mother, I am! Ally Dawson is your good-for-nothing aunt that adopted you when her brother, Elliot, who's also your father, left her", Samantha said angrily.
"Aunt Trish, what is she talking about? That's not true, is it?", Ella asked with tears brimming her eyes.
"Don't believe her Ella. Just call her mom for now and do what she says so she doesn't do anything bad", Trish whispered. Ella nodded,
"Sam, honey where are we going? We need to go somewhere safe and unexpected for a temporary hideout before we move somewhere more permanent", Tina said.
"Oh Mom, we're going to a place where I always felt like a queen. I felt like a ruler over everyone else when I was there", Sam replied.
"Smart. No one goes there anymore. They built a new one a few years back", Tina said smiling.
"Where are we going?", Ella whispered to Trish.
"I have a feeling they're talking about going to my old high school", Trish replied.
At The Hospital
"Ally, I think I know where Samantha might be heading temporarily", Maddie whispered.
"Really!? Where?", Ally asked.
"You said she was the most popular girl at your school right?", she asked. Ally nodded. "Well, she always said she felt that was the one place she could rule over people. What if they're hiding in your old high school? It's abandoned right?"
"Yeah it is. Have you told anyone else your theories?", Ally asked.
"Yes, but they all think I'm too young and stupid to know anything. Just because I'm an orphan doesn't make me stupid, but they say it would be a 'false lead'. They're the stupid ones", Maddie expressed.
"I'm going there to look for her", Austin said popping in their conversation.
"Austin, how are you going to go alone?", Ally asked worriedly.
"I'm going too", Maddie declared.
"No you're not. You're staying here where it's safe", Austin said.
"Sorry Superstar, I'm not backing down, especially since it was my idea. I've had to live with those criminals all my life. There's no way I'm letting them ruin another innocent child's life. Plus, I really care about Ella. I don't want anything to happen to her", Maddie said.
"Fine, I guess you can come. But Maddie, I'm begging you to do as I say. I'm only looking out for you so you don't get hurt", Austin said in an overprotective brotherly manner.
"Deal"
"Okay guys, we can't tell the police you're going because they'll just try and stop you. Do you think Dez can find the layout of the school on his laptop?", Ally asked just as Dez walked in from who knows where.
"Yes I can, but now I have to go with them, or else I'll end up spilling the secret", Dez said.
"Fine, let's go already", Austin said.
"I love you all. Please be careful, and bring my baby home", Ally said. Dez and Maddie nodded and walked out the door while Austin stayed behind.
"Ally, I'm so sorry all of this happened. Just know that I love you and Ella more than anything else in this world, and I'm not coming home without our baby girl", Austin said more serious than he's ever been in his life.
"I love you so much. Go get our baby and bring her home", Ally said. They kissed each other and he left.
'Our little girl has to come home!', both Austin and Ally thought.
Thanks for the reviews! I already had this one typed up right after chapter 19 so here you go! Don't expect too many double updates, and especially not on a school day, but I didn't go today so I could write more. :) Please read, review, follow, and favorite.
