Third Person POV
"Ella, go get us some water", Samantha whined from where she was lazily sitting in one of the old teachers' chairs.
"Yes Saman-"
"I SAID TO CALL ME MOM!", Samantha yelled irritated.
"I mean, okay Mom", Ella said sighing as she went off to get the water.
"Samantha, you're working her to death!", Trish exclaimed from where she was tied up. They had Ella up and working very hard for the past five hours without even letting her sit down or take a break once.
"Shut up! Kids need chores, or they'll never learn any responsibility. I know Ally didn't teach her any of that", Samantha said glaring at Trish.
"She's five! She's been working for five hours straight!", Trish expressed.
"Here's your water Mom. Now can I please sit down?", Ella begged exhausted. She also really hated having to call Samantha 'Mom'.
"No, there's dust everywhere", Samantha said scrunching up her nose.
"Sam, let the girl sit if she wants to so badly", Tina said, but something in her tone suggested that she didn't really care, and had other plans for if she did sit.
"Fine, you have two minutes", Samantha said pushing Ella to the ground, very rough you might add.
"OW!", Ella cried as she landed on the hard tile.
"What did I say about the whining!?", Samantha shouted.
"I'm sorry Sam-"
"That's it! I told you to call me Mom, but since you won't, you're going to pay!", Samantha said yanking Ella up forcefully by the arm.
"NO! YOU'RE HURTING HER! SAMANTHA, LET GO OF HER!", Trish yelled. She was tied tightly to a chair, and couldn't get up to help her niece.
Austin's POV
We had gotten to the school a while ago, and were about to leave having not found anything, but we heard a small, shrill scream coming from down the hall. I'd know that voice anywhere, it has to be Ella! There was a lot of shouting going on, but we couldn't hear anything they said, until we heard Trish's voice that is.
"NO! YOU'RE HURTING HER! SAMANTHA, LET GO OF HER!", she yelled. OH NO! What are they doing to my baby girl!? We started running as fast as we could, and I see Ella being drug by an insane looking blond chick that looked livid.
"ELLA!", we all shouted.
"What are you three doing here!? How did you find us!?", the woman asked angrily.
"We're here for my daughter and Trish, and we're not leaving without them", I said through gritted teeth.
"Saman-OW! I mean Mom, please let me and my Aunt Trish go with my Daddy, Uncle Dez, and Maddie", Ella begged. SHE HURT MY DAUGHTER AND IS MAKING HER CALL HER MOM!? This made me beyond angry as I started walking forward, but someone stopped me.
"Stay away from my daughter and girlfriend, and leave us alone", some guy said. That's when Trish came running out of a room, but stopped when she saw the guy.
"ELLIOT!", she exclaimed. Elliot? Ally's brother!?
"Stay out of this Trish", he said.
"Elliot, why are you doing this? Ally's your sister! She never did anything to you!", Trish cried ignoring what he had just commanded her. Of course. Trish never listens to anybody.
"She's my kid, and I'm in love with Samantha", he said.
"You left her a day after you found out about her! You abandoned Ally on her birthday to raise a child on her own! A child that was supposed to be yours! You are not her father!", Trish yelled.
"Well, Sam wants her daughter now, and I love her, so we're taking Ella. Ally will be fine", he said.
"Are you kidding me!?", I asked stepping in. "Ally's most definitely NOT fine right now. You really hurt her. She was abused in an orphanage by her parents, and you've taken away the one thing she loves most in this world." He had a confused look on his face so I continued.
"Also, Samantha here bullied Ally all throughout her school years. Then, Ally has to find out that her own brother gets her sworn enemy pregnant. You left her on her birthday and told her to put your own baby up for adoption. She didn't want Ella to be abused like she was, so she had to adopt her niece the day she became a legal adult", I said pointedly. I could tell this was starting to tear him down. Time to kick it up a notch.
"Do you know how many times she's broken down, crying her eyes out over you? Did you even bother to check in on her; see how she was doing? For all you know, she could've been dead years ago. She's in the hospital right now because of Samantha's father. That's the second time in the past few months that she's almost died. You know she even wrote a song about how much you hurt her. Dez recorded her singing it if you want to hear", I said. He nodded, signaling for Dez to show him the song. Soon, Ally's beautiful voice filled the empty school.
"This new song I wrote sounds like I would've been writing it about a guy I dated, but that couldn't be further from the truth. This song is about my brother who ditched me on my eighteenth birthday, and left me to raise his child. I highly doubt I would even listen to my brother if he ever came to apologize, because that's how much pain he's caused me. Ella's the only good thing that came out of this entire situation my brother caused. I love MY daughter more than anything else in this world, and would literally die if anything ever happened to her, or I lost her in any way. My life would be nothing without her. I know he hurt her too, because she asks all the time why she doesn't have a daddy, why he didn't love her, and why he left in the first place. She thinks it's her fault; that she did something wrong to make him not want her. So this song is for all the pain my daughter and I have went through because of my brother. It's called Tell Me Why(1)", Ally finished talking, then began to sing her song.
"I took a chance, I took a shot
And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who you are
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me then you cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
And here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why..
You could write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day
Well I get so confused and frustrated
Forget what I'm trying to say, oh
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You tell me that you want me, then push me around
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
Here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why..
Why...do you have to make me feel small
So you can feel whole inside
Why...do you have to put down my dreams
So you're the only thing on my mind
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you want me then cut me down
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I've got no one to believe in
You ask me for my love then you push me around
Here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why
Why, tell me why
I take a step back, let you go
I told you I'm not bulletproof
Now you know"
"Now do you see what you and 'the girl you love' put her through? And that's not even half of it", I stated.
"I never knew I hurt her that much", he said ashamed.
"Elliot, don't listen to them", Samantha said putting her hand on his shoulder and yanking Ella by the arm, making her yelp in pain. I seriously want to rip that chick's head off for hurting my baby girl!
"You bullied my sister! You drugged me at a party! Your parents abused my little sister! You ditched our daughter on my doorstep, then five years later you convinced me that you were in love with me so I'd help you kidnap my own kid I never knew, from my sister who loves her more than anything! We're so over!", Elliot yelled.
"Fine by me", she said pulling out…A GUN! OH NO!
"Sam, you don't want to do this. Put the gun down", Maddie said as calmly as she possibly could, but I could see the fear in her eyes. Ella was now crying her little eyes out in fear and probably pain as well.
"Shut up!", she snapped and pointed the gun at Maddie, who started shaking uncontrollably. Dez quickly stepped between Maddie and the gun with his hands up.
"Come on Samantha, please put the gun down so we can sort all this out", Dez pleaded.
"No! This has to happen!", she yelled.
"Come on Sam, don't do this. This isn't you, and you don't want it to end badly", Elliot said.
"You had your chance Elliot, and you blew it. Now I'm going to take all of you out, and take my kid out of this country forever", she said.
"Over my dead body", I said angrily stepping forward.
"That can be arranged", she said smirking at me. After that, everything was a blur. I could hear people shouting my name, but it sounded very distant. I also have this really sharp pain in my right shoulder. It hurt like crap, but I couldn't focus on that. I have to save my little girl!
"Ella", I choked out.
"Daddy!", I heard her yell.
"I love you Sunshine", I said.
"I love you too daddy", she said. That's the last thing I heard before I was completely submerged in darkness.
Hey guys. This was a pretty intense chapter, huh? I hated to even have to write that about Samantha hurting Ella and Austin getting shot. How many reviews do you think we can get for this chapter? I love hearing what you all think about the chapters. I've gotten quite a few reviews from people saying how much they can't stand Samantha. Well, what do you all think of her now? And I'd also like to hear everyone's opinion on Elliot's return. Do you think he's good or bad now? Anyway, please read, review, follow, and favorite. Thanks to everyone who reads my story. I love you all. :)
