I don't own Austin & Ally
Ally's POV
I'm terrified of what could be happening to my family right now, but at least I know Ella's safe. She's here with me, along with Elliot, Samantha, Tina, Max, Penny, and Lester. Apparently they wanted us with our 'families' so we're all stuck together. I'm just glad I get to be with Ella so I can make sure they don't hurt her. I just wish I knew if Austin was okay.
"Oh Ally, we've missed you so much!", Penny gushed. I scoffed.
"Really? You show someone how much you miss them by torturing them for months and then kidnapping them and their entire family?", I asked sarcastically.
"Those idiots aren't your family", Lester stated.
"If that's true then I guess I have no family, because you certainly aren't my family", I spat angrily.
"Yes we are! I'm your father!", Lester said, raising his voice. Elliot gestured for me to stop talking, but I don't want to. Like he'd care anyway.
"Then why'd you leave me and Elliot in an abusive orphanage when I was just a baby?", I smirked.
"It most certainly is not abuse! Children need discipline", Penny defended. Oh, you've got to be kidding me! They all go by that ridiculous statement!?
"There's a big difference in 'discipline' and abuse. If it took me more than thirty seconds to walk down the stairs, I got beaten. If I wasn't home from school by 3:30 on the dot, I was beaten. If they heard that I talked to anyone that wasn't in the orphanage, I got beaten. That's not the kind of punishment a child should get for something that miniscule. Oh, and when you say 'chores', that doesn't mean to work a child for hours on end. They're too young for that kind of work anyway", I told them.
"My, you're a stubborn girl", Lester commented.
"Where's my husband?", I asked, purposely ignoring his comment.
"That little punk is not your family!", Lester yelled angrily. That's when Ella stood up.
"Yes he is! He's my Daddy!", she yelled.
"Ella, I told you to be quiet. These people can hurt you", I whispered to her daughter.
"I'm your father", Elliot said blankly, almost robotically. That's weird.
"No, you're my uncle. My Daddy is Austin Moon", Ella said stubbornly.
"Ella, please stop!", I begged. I'd just die if something happened to my baby girl.
"Mommy I-", Ella started, but was cut off by an angry looking Samantha Freeman.
"I'm your mom. You will call me Mom, not her. She's just your loser aunt", Sam said. I really want to just knock her out right now and run away with MY little girl.
"My Mommy…", Ella said emphasizing 'Mommy' and pointing to me. "…is not a loser! In my mind, she's the only one in this rom who isn't!"
"Ella-", I started, but Sam cut me off.
"That's it!", she yelled standing up. We all stood up too just to make sure she didn't launch herself at my daughter.
"Sam, cool it. Why don't I go have a little talk with our daughter", Elliot suggested. I couldn't help the tears that were pricking my eyes as silently begged my brother to help us instead of them. Why can't he just realize that what he's doing is wrong? Why can't he just stop and help us?
"I guess", Sam said skeptically. Elliot smiled at her and took my daughter out of the room, leaving me alone with the people I didn't want to be near in the first place.
Ella's POV
"What do you want?", I asked. I really don't want to be anywhere near my uncle/birth father right now. Okay, that sounded really messed up…which it is.
"Kiddo, I'm not going to hurt you, I promise. I want to help you", he said. I just rolled my eyes.
"So you try to help someone by kidnapping them twice?", I asked to get my point across.
"I helped you the first time, remember?", he asked. Well, that is true, but then he helped in taking me away from my family again.
"Well yeah, but-", I started, but he wouldn't let me finish. Rude!
"Anyway, I want to help get you all out of here safely again", he said.
"Yeah right. You're just trying to trick me into going along with whatever you say, so I'll soon start to really believe you and switch sides. Well newsflash Uncle Elliot, that ain't happening!", I said.
"You are just like your mother", he said shaking his head. They all say that mean lady is my mother; I'm nothing like her!
"I am not anything like that blonde crazy person and she is not my Mommy! Your sister is my Mommy", I yelled.
"I know, that's what I meant. You're nothing like Sam, but you're the spitting image of my little sister", he said.
"I thought you were trying to get me to believe the mean lady really is my Mommy?", I asked confused.
"That's just when I'm around them, kid. Sam's definitely not ready to be a mother, and I can tell that Ally's the only real mother you'll ever have. You two have a connection that's indescribable", he said. That's true.
"Wait, do you still think you're my Daddy, because you're not?", I asked crossing my arms.
"No Ella, I know I'm never going to be your Daddy. Don't take this the wrong way, but I've never wanted to be. I do love you, but I think of you as a niece. I'm not ready to be a father, and I know you would never be able to forgive me for that in the first place", he said looking down. Great, now I'm starting to feel bad for him. But that doesn't mean I fully trust him! My Mommy will decide that.
"Uncle Elliot, it's okay that you don't want to be my Daddy. I would much rather have a fun uncle than a daddy who can't take care of me. Besides, I already have a great Daddy that I wouldn't trade for anyone or anything in this entire world", I said honestly.
"Yeah, yeah, I can see how much you love that guy", he said.
"What's that supposed to mean?", I asked, ready to defend my Daddy.
"Nothing, I mean, I was just agreeing with you", he said. I don't think I believe him yet.
"Are you sure? It sounds like you don't like my Daddy", I said.
"Well I know he doesn't like me. He can just look at me, and all he sees is the guy that hurt his wife and daughter", he said sighing.
"The least you can do is apologize. That doesn't always work, but it helps. Apologize and let us all go home. Just turn yourself in and tell the police about all the other mean people. That'll make Mommy and Daddy happy", I told him.
"I wish it was that simple kiddo, but there's a lot more to this than you realize", he said.
"Like what?", I asked.
"Well, I can't exactly just leave this place without anyone seeing me", he said.
"Why did you escape jail in the first place?", I asked.
"I don't know. Everything was going crazy and they just started pulling me to go with them. I don't know what it is, but Sam-", he stared, but I cut him off.
"You love her don't you?", I asked. I can see it in his eyes when he says her name. He hates what she's doing to his family, but somehow he still loves her.
"W-What?", he stuttered.
"Uncle Elliot, I know you love her. You wouldn't have helped her take me the first time if you didn't. You knew my Mommy loved me, but Sam tricked you into thinking I'd be better with you two. You just wanted to make the girl you loved happy right?", I asked. He sighed and nodded.
"You have no idea how hard it is when you fall in love with someone who's hurt your family so much. I didn't want to, but she has another side. A side that isn't an insane criminal, but a loving, carefree kid at heart. She really couldn't help who she is, because that's who she was raised to be. Tina and Max treated her about the same as they did to your Mommy, but she just thought that's how people are supposed to treat kids. I never knew this when I lived in the orphanage. I was always out with friends, so I never noticed how they treated the kids. I could tell they weren't happy, but who is in an orphanage?", he asked.
"How did you find Samantha?", I asked.
"I watched her grow up, and I was just connected to her. Yes, I knew her before she got pregnant with you, but I never knew she bullied my sister, or that her parents beat Ally", he said.
"Wouldn't Samantha have been like seventeen when she had me if she was in my Mommy's grade?", I asked.
"No, she failed twice. She's only three years younger than me, so she had you when she was twenty", he said. Well that makes a little more sense.
"So how did you end up falling in love with her?", I asked. He sighed. Oh no, I bet this is going to be a long story.
"It's a long story", he said. And I was right. "It all started when I saw her at the high school when I went to pick up your Mommy. She was just so pretty. I started hanging out with her more, and then she invited me to a cool party downtown. I went, and that's when everything went wrong. I didn't know the punch was spiked-"
"What does spiked mean?", I asked cutting him off.
"Oh yeah, you're only five. Um, maybe I should skip the party", he said laughing nervously. Okay…
"Fine, what happened after the party? Oh, and how could you not see that she was pregnant?", I asked.
"Well after the party, I went home the next day and saw your Mommy asleep on the couch. I knew she got home from her work late the night before, and she was probably wondering where I was and why I wasn't home yet. I felt bad, but she wasn't mad. I figured I would just talk to Samantha at school the next day when I dropped Ally off, but she wasn't there. At first I thought she was just skipping a day or two, but then I noticed she wasn't there for the rest of the week. Weeks turned into months, and there was still no sign of her. I didn't know what to think, but I did notice Ally was a little happier than she was before Samantha disappeared. I didn't know why until that day when your Daddy told me your Mommy was bullied by her. I finally figured out why she disappeared when Ally and I found you on our doorstep a year later. I knew I wasn't ready to take care of a baby just as much as Sam wasn't, but I thought Ally would know what to do. I figured she wouldn't put you up for adoption just because she hated that place (I now know why), but I didn't know what else to do. I really needed to talk to Sam. I needed to tell her that I still loved her. So I left. I left that night when Ally went to sleep after leaving a note telling her that I was sorry but I would see her again", he said.
"It was her birthday", I said.
"I know, and I felt bad about that, but I thought that I had to follow Samantha because I loved her so much. I eventually found her, and we became a couple. Then a few months ago, she started acting weird. She just kept talking about how she regretted giving you up, and wanted nothing more than to have you back. I, being the love-struck idiot I was, helped her get you away from Ally, but I decided to help your Daddy when I saw that she was just trying to take you out of the country for some kind of sick revenge. I also saw how much Ally loved you when I watched that video, and I knew I couldn't destroy her like that", he said.
"But you still loved her no matter what, and that's why you went a little crazy again and helped her kidnap us all?", I guessed. He nodded.
"Yeah, I'm so sorry. I promise that I'm trying to help you now though. When I saw how Ally was looking at me, it brought me out of m trance. I'll always love Samantha, but I can't truly be with her until she gets some help and realizes this kind of behavior is wrong", he said.
"Then why are you still helping her?", I asked.
"I'm not helping her; I'm pretending to help her. I'm helping you that way", he said.
"How?"
"I'm slowly gaining their trust back, and if they think I'm on their side, they'll never expect it when I help you guys escape", he said.
"So why are you telling me this?", I asked.
"I need your help."
"With what?", I asked.
"I need you to act like you're coming on our side", he said.
"No", I said immediately. "I can't do that; it'll hurt my Mommy and Daddy too much."
"I know that's how you feel, but they think I can gain your trust faster than anyone else here since I switched sides before. They said if I could do that then they'd be able to trust me better. That's what I need to help you all escape. To get that though, they need you to act closer to us. That would include calling me Dad; Samantha Mom; Tina, Max, Penny, and Lester Grandma and Grandpa; that kind of thing", he said.
"Can I tell my Mommy about this?", I asked. He shook his head.
"Sorry kiddo, you can't tell anyone, and you can't keep acting like your real family is you real family", Uncle Elliot said. You've got to be kidding me right now!
"But they'll never forgive me!", I exclaimed.
"Of course they will. Didn't your Mommy tell you to listen to everything we say?", he asked. How does he know that?
"Yeah, but-"
"No buts sweetie. I'm sorry, but this is what's best. Now, do you think you can act like you like us?", he asked.
"I'm a g-great actress, but I really don't want to do this", I said. I can tell that I'm about to start crying.
"I know you don't kid, but please do this. Don't do this to me; do it for you and your family. If you ever want to get out of here and away from these crazy people, then please do this", Uncle Elliot begged. I sighed, but nodded.
"I'll do it, but I won't like it"
"Great! Come on kid, it's time for you to act like you like you your kidnappers so you can leave!", he said happily. He does know how stupid that sounded right? Oh well, here goes nothing. I'm about to act like I love these people that have been hurting my family for so long. This is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
Hey guys! What do you think? We'll see how Ella acts and how Ally takes this all later, but I can't promise it will be in the next chapter. I want you guys to tell me what you want to see first: the continuation of the Dawson/Freeman 'family' drama, Maddie's 'family', Dez's 'family', or what happened to all the others whose 'family' isn't one of the criminals (ex. Austin, Trish, and so on). I'll be sure to include all of these, but I can't decide which to do first. It would be greatly appreciated if you were to help me decide which to do in the next chapter. I want to know what you want to see! Please continue to read, review, follow, and favorite!
God Bless you all!
